TAINAN, Taiwan, Sept. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX), a leading fabless semiconductor solutions provider, today announced it will showcase its comprehensive automotive display portfolio at the upcoming SID Vehicle Displays and Interfaces Symposium, taking place September 9 – 10, 2025, at Huntington Place in Detroit, Michigan. The symposium, organized by the Society for Information Display (SID), is a key international event focused on automotive display and human–machine interface (HMI) technologies.
The automotive display market is experiencing significant growth, driven by the increasing adoption of smart cabins and the demand for larger, more complex displays in both electric and conventional vehicles. As a result, automakers are seeking innovative solutions that can deliver enhanced user experiences, improved safety, and greater power efficiency. Himax Technologies, leveraging its nearly two decades of expertise in automotive display ICs, has emerged as a market leader with a comprehensive portfolio spanning LCD and OLED technologies.
At the symposium, Himax plans to demonstrate several cutting-edge technologies designed to address these evolving demands. The company’s portfolio includes display driver ICs (DDIC), touch and display driver integration (TDDI), local dimming timing controllers (Tcon), and on-cell touch controllers, all engineered to meet the stringent requirements of the automotive industry. Analysts project the automotive display market to be a key growth driver for semiconductor companies like Himax, as displays become increasingly integrated into vehicle functionality.
“Automotive displays are rapidly evolving from simple infotainment systems to critical components for safety and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS),” says a lead analyst at a prominent market research firm. “Companies like Himax, which can offer integrated solutions that combine high performance, low power consumption, and sophisticated touch capabilities, are well-positioned to capture a significant share of this growing market.”
During the event, Himax will showcase its latest innovations in automotive display technologies, including:
- Breakthrough single-chip design integrating local dimming into the TDDI: This innovation offers higher contrast, lower system cost, and improved power efficiency, positioning it as a competitive option for automakers looking to enhance display performance without increasing costs. It represents a strategic move by Himax to consolidate components and streamline designs.
- Automotive TDDI with user-aware touch control: This pioneering technology differentiates between driver and passenger interactions through advanced waveform and frequency detection, preventing accidental cross-touch incidents and enhancing driving safety. This feature is particularly relevant as automotive displays become larger and more interactive, requiring precise touch recognition.
- OLED touch IC integrating Knob-on-Display and capacitive touch keys: Building on the earlier implementation of physical knobs in in-cell TDDI technology, Himax has launched an OLED touch IC that supports both tactile knobs and capacitive touch keys, delivering a safer and more intuitive control experience in OLED displays. The integration of physical controls with touch functionality reflects an ongoing industry trend to combine the best of both worlds for enhanced user experience.
- New generation of local dimming Tcon solution: Featuring advanced image enhancements such as edge sharpness and high dynamic range (HDR), this solution supports free-form display designs and integrates critical automotive safety functions, including fail detection, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), and on-screen display (OSD). This ensures sharper images, more vivid contrasts, and a safer driving experience. The inclusion of safety features is a critical aspect of automotive display technology, as displays increasingly become integral to driver awareness.
These innovations are not only technological advancements but also strategic enablers, empowering automakers to accelerate the transition to next-generation smart cabins with safer, more power-efficient, and advanced in-car experiences. Himax’s emphasis on integration and enhanced functionality is expected to resonate with car manufacturers aiming to create premium and user-friendly interfaces.
Beyond automotive display technologies, Himax will also present a series of live demonstrations of other cutting-edge technologies during the event. Highlights include:
- In-house 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) vision processor, HE-2: Features an industry-leading CPU and NPU architecture designed to deliver low-latency and high-speed 3D computation and AI operations. It outputs 2D and 3D images at up to 120 fps, along with supporting advanced functions such as eye tracking, hand tracking, and gesture recognition. By reducing data latency, easing the load on the central processor, and enhancing overall system performance, Himax’s 3D ToF vision processor provides a significant advantage over mainstream software-based solutions. Engineered for versatility, the 3D AI processor offers broad applicability across industries, such as tablets, IoT devices, notebook 3D displays, HUD, Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), Occupant Monitoring Systems (OMS), spatial audio systems, and beyond. This diversification strategy allows Himax to leverage its technology across multiple sectors, reducing reliance on the automotive market alone.
- Liqxtal® Dim from subsidiary Liqxtal Technology Inc.: Combines Liqxtal’s proprietary pixelated liquid-crystal light valve with Himax’s WiseEye ultralow power AI sensing technology creating an advanced system that detects the position of incident light in real time, enabling adaptive light tuning for smart sunglasses and programmable light attenuation patterns for visual training devices. By seamlessly integrating real-time responsiveness with versatile functionality, the Liqxtal Dim offers distinct advantages and opens new possibilities for versatile applications such as AR/MR smart eyewear, vision training, automotive HUD and sun visor.
- Innovative micro- and nano-pattern design and manufacturing services from Himax IGI Precision Ltd.: Enable tailored surface and optical properties for custom 3D structures, with sample displays including a manufactured diffuser and replicated/electroformed parts.
- Proprietary Sparkle Elimination Film (SEF) from Himax’ subsidiary CM Visual Technology Corp.: A technology that removes sparkle from anti-glare (AG) surface treatments to deliver clearer, more comfortable visuals. Featuring double-sided Optically Clear Adhesive (OCA), SEF can be seamlessly laminated between the display panel and AG cover glass using standard processes. SEF is also eco-friendly, utilizing solvent-free materials and processes that minimize environmental impact.
Himax is strategically positioning itself as a key enabler of the next generation of automotive displays. By focusing on innovative, integrated solutions that address the evolving needs of the automotive industry, the company aims to solidify its market leadership and capitalize on the sector’s projected growth.
