Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX) (“Himax”), a leading
supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and other
semiconductor products, and BOE Varitronix Limited (HKEX: 710)
(“BOE Varitronix or BOEVx”), a world leading supplier of automotive
display products, today announced they joined forces to secure a
flexible AMOLED automotive display solution design-win with a
leading new energy vehicle (“NEV”) maker. The solution has recently
been applied to the customer’s upcoming launch of a flagship NEV
model.
Himax and BOEVx partnered to offer the next generation flexible
AMOLED automotive display in a 12.8-inch Center Information Display
product (CID), adopting the Himax AMOLED driver IC and timing
controller (TCON) solution. The AMOLED driver enables superior user
visual enjoyment from a state-of-the-art OLED display from BOEVx
with vivid and colorful image performance as well as modish panel
curvature which benefits from the AMOLED panel and driver in COF
technology. The Himax TCON supports dual-gate and MUX2 panel
structure, 180-degree rotation with embedded color engine, along
with an industry leading panel failure detection feature for
passenger safety.
AMOLED displays have gained traction in various applications and
are becoming the technology of choice for the high-end market as
they provide better display quality and greater design flexibility.
Himax’s flexible AMOLED display driver and TCON solution combined
with BOEVx’s world-leading AMOLED display have been successfully
adopted into the latest NEV model of major car makers.
Besides automotive flexible AMOLED solution, Himax also offers
comprehensive automotive product portfolios for TFT-LCD displays,
including in-cell TDDI, display driver, local dimming TCON, and
high-speed P2P bridge IC. All have been broadly adopted, directly
or indirectly, by automotive display module makers, including
BOEVx, and Tier-1 automotive manufacturers and car brands placing
Himax as the leading automotive driver supplier of the world.
In recent years, the smart vehicles industry has seen
accelerating growth with all major global brands emphasizing more
human-vehicle interaction upgrades, creating a trend towards large,
personalized and super high resolution smart cockpit displays. Over
the years, BOEVx has been promoting innovation in the field of
smart cockpit display solutions, and is committed to providing car
users with a more convenient, more comfortable and smarter driving
experience. Currently, BOEVx has launched an S-shaped curved
flexible AMOLED with 300mm in curvature and in triple-display form
that is capable of displaying cluster information, center
information as well as passenger entertainment content at the same
time.
“Himax has been a long-term partner providing comprehensive
automotive display solutions for BOEVx with leading specifications
and professional service,” said Mr. Jack Su, Chief Executive
Officer of BOEVx. “We are pleased to extend our deep cooperation
and jointly develop the flexible AMOLED display solution in BOEVx’s
next evolution display design.”
“The partnership with BOEVx allows us to promote Himax’s
innovative automotive display solutions as well as nurture our
leading-edge AMOLED technology,” said Mr. Jordan Wu, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Himax. “We are delighted to further
collaborate with BOEVx to launch advanced display solutions to the
ever-growing car market, especially for NEV.”
