Through rigorous evaluation mechanisms and on-site inspections, AUO has demonstrated strong operational resilience and comprehensive quality management under its biaxial transformation, earning the Business Merit Award in the Total Business Excellence category of the 27th National Quality Award. ? Enhanced Operational Resilience through Integrating Biaxial Transformation with Comprehensive Quality Management Over the past few years, AUO has been implementing its biaxial transformation strategy. "Go Premium" aims to maximize the added value of display technology, while "Go Vertical" deepens applications in vertical markets. It has steadily improved corporate operational resilience through diversified business investments and the establishment of ecosystem partnerships. AUO has also integrated "Total Quality Management (TQM)" into its organizational structure, forming the TQM committee and involving all employees in continuous optimization of organizational operations and management. ? AUO’s achievements include the establishment of the AUO expert evaluation mechanisms in R&D, focusing on the development of products and services for medium and long-term niche markets, and integrating advanced display technologies into various fields, such as using AUO’s AmLED (Adaptive mini LED) technology for medical displays, providing exclusive local dimming display technology that offers precise image quality and enhances product stability. In terms of R&D outcomes, 97 percent of registered patents are invention patents. Furthermore, AUO was recognized as one of the "Top 100 Global Innovators" by Clarivate and LexisNexis, reflecting AUO’s robust capability to create high market value. ? On the process front, AUO has gradually achieved green transformation through smart manufacturing. It has applied AI and big data in hardware and software on production lines, enabling remote monitoring and precise prediction of equipment maintenance needs through process smartification, automation, and standardization, increasing production efficiency and quality stability. AUO’s Taichung and Longtan fab received recognition and were selected as members of the Global Lighthouse Network. Furthermore, AUO has independently developed a 100 percent process water full-recycling solution for the manufacturing process, applied at its Longtan fab. AUO is also a member of the global renewable energy initiative, RE100, and the first company in the global display industry to commit fully using renewable energy by 2050, consistently offering smart and sustainable solutions. ? In terms of customer engagement, AUO has deepened its presence in the existing display market. Notably, the company holds the leading position globally in automotive central information displays, and offers the most comprehensive range of display products in the gaming sector. AUO is also a pioneer in the automotive Display HMI (Human-Machine Interface), utilizing cutting-edge Micro LED display technology to create innovative smart cockpits and enhance human-machine interaction across various applications. Beyond display technology, AUO continues to research and innovate in various domains such as healthcare, mobility, retail, enterprise and education, intelligent service, and energy solutions, which collectively contribute to 17 percent of the overall revenue in the year 2023. ? Cross-domain innovation efforts have also strengthened AUO's financial resilience. Over the past decade (2012 to 2023), its net debt-to-equity ratio has decreased from 90.7 percent to 16.9 percent.
