Himax (Nasdaq: HIMX) and Vuzix (Nasdaq: VUZI) introduced a prescription-ready optical reference design for AR glasses to be showcased at CES 2026.

The design pairs Himax’s ultra-compact HX7319FL 720×720 color-sequential Front-lit LCoS microdisplay (0.34 c.c., 0.79 g) with Vuzix’s high-efficiency, push-pull prescription-ready waveguide (0.35 mm plate, high-index glass options, scalable NIL manufacturing). It supports OEM configurations from 30° FOV and >b1000 nits brightness in a compact, power-efficient architecture aimed at accelerating commercialization for consumer and enterprise AR eyewear.

Himax (Nasdaq: HIMX) confirmed its collaboration and strategic partnership with FOCI on Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) remains ongoing and unchanged as of Jan. 5, 2026. The companies say they combine Himax's WLO advanced nano imprinting technology with FOCI's silicon photonics work to achieve breakthroughs. The firms report the first-generation CPO solution is under validation by key customers and partners for technology and reliability, and they are working toward mass production readiness in 2026. Concurrent joint development targets future-generation high-speed optical transmission and advanced CPO architectures aimed at AI data-center and HPC bandwidth demands.

Himax (Nasdaq: HIMX) will showcase its broad semiconductor and optical portfolio at CES 2026 (Jan 6–9) in Las Vegas. Highlights include WiseEye ultralow-power endpoint AI for always-on sensing and AI PCs, WiseGuard smart sensing with average power <0.1 mA and standby <0.001 mA, Front-lit LCoS microdisplays for AR glasses, and a market-leading automotive display IC portfolio.

Demos will span smart home, surveillance, automotive HUD, smart glasses, wearables, drone AI imaging, and a CMOS imager-based optical thermal sensor. Visit Venetian Expo, Titian 2201A.

Himax (Nasdaq: HIMX) and AUO unveiled a proprietary front-lit LCoS microdisplay for AR glasses to be shown at CES 2026 (Jan 6–9, 2026) in Las Vegas.

The module offers a 720×720 resolution, ultralow power operation at 200 mW, peak brightness up to 350,000 nits with 1 lm output and an optical efficiency up to 1,000 nits/lm. Color reaches 140% sRGB. The display module is extremely compact: 0.09 c.c. / 0.21 g without a collimator and 0.34 c.c. / 0.79 g with a jointly developed collimator.

The partners cite advantages in thin form factor, brightness, power efficiency, and color for AR wearables. Himax will demo the product at Booth Titian 2201A.

Himax (Nasdaq: HIMX) announced that subsidiary Liqxtal and iCatch will debut a Drone AI Imaging Solution at CES 2026 (Jan 6–9, 2026) in Las Vegas.

The solution pairs Liqxtal’s dual‑spectrum long‑range EO and thermal IR camera with up to 20× optical zoom and iCatch’s edge‑AI vision SoC delivering up to 4 TOPS. The integrated system targets aerial photography, security surveillance, and industrial inspection, emphasizes on‑device real‑time image analysis, reduced cloud dependency, electronic image stabilization, and standard interfaces like USB3.0 and Ethernet. Demo location: Venetian Expo, Titian 2201A.

Himax (Nasdaq: HIMX) and Liqxtal announced the Liqxtal Pro-Eye vision-care monitor, featuring Himax’s WiseEye™ AI facial-recognition and eye-tracking, to be presented at the 2025 Taiwan Healthcare+ Expo (Dec 4–7, Taipei Nangang Hall 1).

Company-reported research findings state the Pro-Eye’s electrically tunable liquid-crystal optics project a virtual viewing distance of ~16 feet, aiming to reduce ciliary-muscle strain from near-screen use, alleviate eye fatigue and blurred vision in seniors and heavy device users, and lower pseudo-myopia risk in school-age children. The monitor also offers flicker-free design, low-blue-light calibration, privacy shielding, and personalized AI eye-use reports.

Himax Technologies (Nasdaq: HIMX) reported Q3 2025 revenue of $199.2M (‑7.3% sequential) and gross margin 30.2%. After‑tax profit was $1.1M, or 0.6 cents per diluted ADS, beating guidance. The company provided Q4 2025 guidance: revenues flat QoQ, GM flat to slightly up, and profit per diluted ADS of 2.0 to 4.0 cents. Cash and equivalents were $278.2M after a $64.5M dividend payout; inventories were $137.4M. Automotive display ICs remained the largest revenue source (>50%), with growth in TDDI and Tcon noted. Company emphasized expansion into ultralow power AI, CPO, WiseEye modules, and smart glasses as potential new growth engines.

Himax (Nasdaq: HIMX) will showcase its WiseEye™ ultralow power AI palm vein authentication at Sectech Sweden 2025 (Oct 14–15, 2025). WiseEye delivers contactless ID verification in under 100 milliseconds, a False Acceptance Rate (FAR) below 1%, and on-device AI processing to avoid biometric data storage.
