Himax Technologies (HIMX) will showcase its automotive display portfolio and advanced 3D sensing technologies at the SID Vehicle Displays and Interfaces Symposium on September 15–16, 2026, at Huntington Place in Detroit.
The company will demonstrate multiple automotive display IC solutions, including high-speed eDP TDDI integrating touch and display driver, a single-chip TDDI with local dimming, OLED touch ICs and LCD TDDIs enabling knob-on-display, capacitive buttons, and user-aware touch control, plus a multi-output Tcon supporting resolutions up to 8K × 1K with built-in safety functions. Himax will also present glasses-free 3D total solutions, a SLiM 3D sensing module with head orientation tracking up to 180 Hz, 3D eye and hand tracking, and micro- and nano-pattern design and manufacturing services via its Himax IGI Precision subsidiary.
Himax Technologies (HIMX) introduced the HX83196/HX83197 automotive eDP TDDI single-chip solution integrating high-speed eDP interface, touch, and display driver for next-generation smart car displays.
The eDP TDDI supports cascading two chips from a single eDP output, driving up to 17-inch 3K or 30-inch 6K displays. It offers 2,560 source and 1,280 touch channels with 60Hz and 90Hz refresh rates. Integration of eDP 1.2 removes the need for an eDP-to-OLDI bridge IC, and a Direct DP architecture can eliminate an external SerDes in single-display setups. The HX83197 also embeds Himax local dimming to avoid a separate Tcon, while eDP 1.4 DSC, HDR10+ support, and an ALS-on-panel interface improve image quality, power, EMI, and design flexibility. The solution is in design-in with multiple panel makers and will be showcased at the SID Vehicle Displays and Interfaces Symposium in Detroit.
Himax (Nasdaq: HIMX) announced that its WiseEye palm vein biometric authentication technology has been integrated into the newly launched WAFERLOCK L322 palm vein smart lock, which is now commercially available. The lock supports palm vein recognition alongside RFID cards, PIN codes, mechanical keys, and an optional mobile app.
According to Himax, WiseEye combines an ultralow power AI processor, image sensor, and palm vein algorithms to perform on-device biometric matching without cloud connectivity, enhancing privacy, security, and responsiveness for smart home, residential community, and smart building access control applications.
Himax Technologies (Nasdaq: HIMX) reported Q2 2026 net revenues of $227.4 million, up 14.2% QoQ and above its guided 10.0%–13.0% range, driven mainly by better‑than‑expected automotive IC sales.
