20 September 2022 - 10:10AM
Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX) (“Himax” or “Company”), a
leading supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and
other semiconductor products, today announced that Xiaomi has
expanded the adoption of Himax proprietary HX83121-A tablet TDDI
solution to their latest premium Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 12.4 tablet and
Xiaomi Book S 12.4 2-in-1 laptop.
Himax HX83121-A is the industry first tablet TDDI in mass
production that supports high frame rate and high precision active
stylus features. It is also the world’s first tablet TDDI chip with
built-in VESA DSC (Data Stream Compression) image decompression IP
which offers high frame rate and visually lossless performance for
mobile streaming enablement. The VESA DSC IP of HX83121-A can
connect with application processors of Intel, Qualcomm, and
MediaTek, and has been introduced into mass production in many
leading tablet products. Not only does the HX83121-A support
mainstream resolution and frame rate, such as WUXGA 60Hz or WQXGA
60Hz, but it can also scale up to 120Hz frame rate of the same
resolution, or even to WQXGA 144Hz, 2.8K 120Hz or 4K 60Hz.
The HX83121-A provides the most touch channels in the market. A
single TDDI chip of HX83121-A can support up to 1280 touch
channels, while two serially connected chips can support up to 2560
touch channels for larger than 14-inch in-cell touch panel
enablement of premium tablet. Additionally, the HX83121-A TDDI
solution also features up to 120Hz touch reporting rates offering
superior touch sensitivity to boost interactive gaming experience.
For active stylus, the HX83121-A TDDI solution supports the WACOM
protocol, achieving the WGP Level 1 active stylus precision. Its
intelligent frame rate switching function can bring higher user
satisfaction with a smarter interactive experience toggling between
finger and pen controls in various usage scenarios, at the same
time seamlessly optimizing the system battery life. Moreover, in
addition to Android, HX83121-A offers broad OS platform support,
including HID protocol, which has been widely adopted in Windows PC
and Chromebook.
Xiaomi released its latest Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 12.4 in August 2022,
with the Himax HX83121-A TDDI solution embedded inside to support
12.4-inch WQXGA 120Hz display. When combined with Himax TDDI, this
Android based tablet exquisitely explores various usage scenarios
for gamers, creators, and light office works. Meanwhile, the newly
released 2022 Red Dot Design Award winning Xiaomi Book S 12.4
2-in-1 laptop also incorporated Himax HX83121-A TDDI in support of
a 500-nits high brightness IPS LCD in-cell touch screen. By pairing
with Xiaomi's exclusive Smart Pen powered by Himax active stylus,
users can easily and smoothly transit among laptop mode, canvas
mode, and tablet mode enjoying the compelling low latency, 240Hz
super smooth pen response and 4096-level vital pen pressure
sensitivity on the new 2-in-1 laptop operating under Windows 11
OS.
