Product Overview
AUO A081VW01 V.1 - 8.1 Inch TFT-LCD Panel with 4-Wire Resistive Touch, 800x300, WLED Backlight
Condition
Unused NOS. Photo label confirms Model A081VW01 V.1, manufactured 11/48, AUO Optoelectronics, Made in China. An "Engineering Sample" label is visible on the rear - this is a label on the unit, not a reflection of reduced specification. Screen surface is unmarked. Flex cable and connector appear undamaged. Barcode 401817Z916183000L0103 visible on rear label. Photos show the specific unit you will receive.
Ships same business day from Idaho. Packed carefully with ESD-appropriate protection for the flex cable and panel.
No hassle resolution if there is an issue. Serving customers since 1999.
Product Overview
AUO Optoelectronics A081VW01 V.1 is an 8.1-inch a-Si TFT-LCD panel with an integrated 4-wire resistive touchscreen. Resolution is 800x300 (HSVGA). The panel uses a WLED backlight with an anti-glare surface treatment. Interface is Parallel RGB (1 channel, 8-bit) plus SPI, with a 60-pin FPC connector. An external backlight driver is required - the panel does not include one. This model was produced in late 2011 and discontinued in 2013, making remaining stock scarce. The unit shown in photos is the unit shipped.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the V.1 or V.0 revision?
The label on the physical unit confirms A081VW01 V.1. The photo of the rear label is included in the listing images.
Does the panel include a backlight driver?
No. The A081VW01 requires an external WLED backlight driver. One is not included and must be sourced separately.
What interface does this panel use?
Parallel RGB (1 channel, 8-bit) plus SPI, over a 60-pin FPC connector. It is not compatible with HDMI, LVDS, or standard USB display interfaces without an appropriate converter or controller board.
Is the touchscreen capacitive or resistive?
4-wire resistive. It is not a capacitive panel. Resistive touch responds to pressure and works with a stylus or gloved hand.
What does the "Engineering Sample" label mean?
It is a label applied to this unit during its production lifecycle. It does not indicate a prototype or reduced-spec unit - the confirmed specifications on the rear label match the production A081VW01 V.1 datasheet.
Is a datasheet available?
Not included. Datasheets for the A081VW01 V.0 and V.1 are publicly indexed on panel specification databases such as Panelook.com and datasheetspdf.com.
Wide-format, resistive, discontinued - and still unused in 2024. The A081VW01 V.1 spent years waiting for the right project. It might be yours.
