Hsinchu, Taiwan,

In preparation for its future rapid growth, AU Optronics ("AUO" or the "the Company") (TAIEX: 2409; NYSE: AUO) announced today its new organization structure. As part of the Company's on-going planned job rotation and with its goal to develop top management talent pool, AUO has restructured its business groups into two core industry sectors, Information Technology Displays and Consumer Electronic Displays. AUO's restructure will allow it to better serve the needs of customers in these two distinctive market segments. The company has also established a Board of Management to be in charge of corporate strategic planning from a macro perspective. The new structure will further strengthen its management and operation team and the foundation of its core business. These changes will be effective as of December 1st 2005.

AUO's President, Mr. HB Chen, the initiator of this restructure, stated that over the years AU Optronics had experienced exceptional growth and overcame the turbulence brought on by the industry's business cycle. Through this challenging experience, the company developed a team of talented managers.

Mr. Chen has full confidence in his management team to execute the restructuring plan. Each member, over the past 6 to 8 years, has across-the-board exposure to key areas in manufacturing, sales/marketing and research and development.

The group includes Company CEO, Mr. KY Lee, President, Mr. HB Chen, Executive Vice President, Dr. Hui Hsiung, Executive Vice President Dr. PoYen Lu, and Senior Vice President, Dr. CY Lin. With the role of monitoring and piloting the new organization's operations, the top managements will be able to make key decisive strategies, closing the distance with its customers and business partners in the face of the rapid developing display industry.

Under the umbrella of the Board of Management are seven vice-presidents each with his own area of responsibility. Unchanged, Mr. Max Cheng, VP of Finance & CFO and Mr. Frank Wu, VP of Administration will be the in-charge person for the company's future financial status and Human Resources, respectively.
