Innolux Corporation (Innolux), one of the world's leading
manufacturers of TFT-LCD displays, and Emza Visual Sense Ltd.
(Emza), a provider of smart visual sensor solutions allowing for
the wide adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in a variety of
applications and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Himax Technologies,
Inc. (NASDAQ: HIMX), announced today that Innolux has integrated
Himax-Emza human sensing technology into its monitors to assure
privacy protection in real time.
WiseEye intelligent vision solution is based on
Emza’s unique AI-based machine-learning trainable algorithms, on
top of Himax’s proprietary computer vision processor and CMOS image
sensor – all equipped with ultra-low power design. By integrating
the WiseEye module into its displays, Innolux enriches its displays
with artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance user experience in the
following ways:
Real-Time Privacy
ProtectionInnolux’s advanced displays have the ability to
change their field of view electronically in order to protect
against unwanted viewers. With contextual awareness, the monitor
senses someone peeking over the user’s shoulder, and immediately
enters privacy mode.
Instant
Wake
UpThe monitor goes on
automatically when the user faces it, for a richer user
experience.
Energy
SavingsThe display operates in
normal mode only when the user is present. If the user walks away,
it enters low-power mode automatically.
“Sight-based human sensing is revolutionizing
the display industry,” explained James Yang, President of Innolux.
“We believe the Himax-Emza intelligent visual sensor solution is
best-of-breed in terms of AI enablement, narrow bezel dimensions
and pricing suitable for mass production.”
“Our WiseEye intelligent vision solution has
been proven in the notebook industry in 2019. The collaboration
with Innolux in the monitor application is a further validation of
the suitability of our technology to a wide range of markets,”
added Yoram Zylberberg, CEO of Emza. “Innolux is one of the leading
providers of TFT-LCD displays in the world. We look forward to
further expanding the partnership with Innolux into other
applications beyond monitors, such as TVs, in the future.”
Innolux invites everyone attending CES in Las
Vegas on January 7-10, 2020, to its live demo at the Bellagio
Hotel.
