Himax Unveils Industry-Leading 3D Timing Controller for Naked-Eye 3D Panels
13 Juni 2011 - 8:00AM
Himax Technologies, Inc. ("Himax" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:HIMX),
today unveiled the industry-leading 3D timing controller ("3D
TCON") for naked-eye 3D panels, suitable for handheld applications
including tablet PCs, digital photo frames, portable DVD players
and gaming devices. This newly-launched product is equipped with a
2D to 3D conversion feature, enabling user friendly 3D depth
adjustment to offer a more comfortable 3D viewing experience.
Jordan Wu, Chief Executive Officer of Himax Technologies
commented, "In 2010, Himax first introduced its unique 2D to 3D
conversion technology, which utilizes human visual perception
characteristics to convert 2D images into 3D formats in real time.
This innovative product has since been adopted by first-tier Japan
and China TV brands. In 2011, Himax further integrates this
industry-leading 2D to 3D conversion technology with timing
controller, a key component of flat panel displays, to bring added
value to our customers. We believe that this innovative 3D TCON
product is the best 3D solution for portable devices and we expect
wide adoption from tablet PC and consumer electronic product
manufacturers."
Mr. Wu continued, "Featuring a small form factor, lower power
consumption and low cost, Himax's 3D TCON provides a total solution
for hand-held naked-eye 3D devices. The 3D TCON supports HDMI 1.4
3D format as well as converting different 3D input sources into 3D
format suitable for all 3D displays, without usage of an extra chip
or software. Moreover, the compact algorithm enables real-time 2D
to 3D conversion. Also since eliminating the need for glasses, the
3D panels provide a much more comfortable naked-eye viewing
experience for consumers. Furthermore, Himax 3D TCON supports both
120Hz and 9 view image output, suitable for various naked-eye 3D
technologies including lenticular, barrier-type and direct-lit
backlight. We feel that the 3D TCON will become mainstream for 3D
displays moving forward and we are already seeing adoption by
numerous panel and systems makers. Products featuring Himax's 3D
TCON technology are expected to hit the market beginning in the
second half of 2011."
