TAINAN, Taiwan, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX) (“Himax” or the “Company”), a leading supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and other semiconductor products, today announced it will showcase its industry-leading automotive display portfolio and state-of-the-art 3D sensing technologies at the upcoming SID Vehicle Displays and Interfaces Symposium, taking place September 15 – 16, 2026 at Huntington Place in Detroit, Michigan. Organized by the Society for Information Display (SID), the symposium is one of the premier international events dedicated to automotive display and human–machine interface (HMI) technologies.

As smart vehicle interiors evolve, displays are taking on an increasingly central role, with trends toward larger sizes, greater numbers, and more diverse display configurations. Himax offers the industry’s most comprehensive automotive display IC portfolio, spanning LCD and OLED technologies, with market leadership across multiple technology segments. Himax continues to introduce solutions for increasingly diverse vehicle cabin configurations, from curved and multi-display to pillar-to-pillar designs, while addressing varying customer requirements for cost, design, and performance.

At the event, Himax will showcase its latest automotive display innovations, including:

  • Industry-Leading Automotive TDDI with High-Speed eDP Interface: Integrates a high-speed eDP interface, touch, and display driver into a single chip to meet next-generation smart car interior demands for large-format, high-resolution, high-quality displays and responsive touch performance. This highly integrated design reduces the need for additional bridge ICs and SerDes for display signal transmission, lowers system cost and power consumption, and simplifies panel design
  • Single-Chip Design Integrating Local Dimming Into the TDDI: Delivers higher contrast, lower system cost, and greater power efficiency, making it ideal for smaller, lower-resolution automotive displays
  • OLED Touch IC and LCD TDDI with Knob-on-Display and Capacitive Buttons: Enables safer, more intuitive physical controls while supporting sleek, display-centric smart car interiors, in response to the growing focus on reducing driver distraction and enhancing driving safety
  • OLED Touch IC and LCD TDDI with User-Aware Touch Control: Distinguishes between driver and passenger touch interactions through advanced waveform and frequency detection, preventing unintended cross-zone touches and enhancing driving safety
  • Groundbreaking Multi-Output Tcon: Supports next-generation free-form, ultra-wide, and high-resolution automotive displays with high-speed eDP input, up to six LVDS outputs, resolution up to 8K × 1K, and advanced image enhancement including local dimming, edge sharpness, and high dynamic range (HDR), plus built-in automotive safety functions including fail detection, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), and on-screen display (OSD)

Beyond automotive display technologies, Himax will also present a series of live demonstrations of its latest 3D sensing technologies, including:

  • Glasses-Free 3D Total Solution: Features a hardware-based architecture that converts stereo input into low-latency, real-time glasses-free 3D output with reduced crosstalk and flicker, ideal for next-generation notebook and tablet 3D display applications
  • SLiM™ 3D Sensing Module with Head Orientation Tracking: Delivers high-accuracy, real-time head orientation tracking at a report rate of up to 180 Hz, enabling HMI systems to identify the display or interaction zone a user is focused on and support more intuitive in-car interaction
  • 3D Eye and Hand Tracking: Features continuous 3D spatial positioning and ultralow latency to deliver precise, real-time tracking of the user’s visual focus and hand movements, enabling intuitive, seamless interaction with virtual content
  • Innovative Micro- and Nano-Pattern Design and Manufacturing Services offered through subsidiary Himax IGI Precision Ltd, which delivers tailored surface and optical properties for complex 3D structures, with demonstrations featuring manufactured diffusers and replicated/electroformed components

Himax invites all interested parties to stop by our exhibition booth at 811 (Huntington Place, Detroit) to experience the Company’s leading automotive display technologies and advanced 3D sensing innovations firsthand.
