Himax Technologies, Inc. Display Drivers Power HTC’s Latest Flagship Smartphones
April 15 2016 - 5:00AM
Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:HIMX) (“Himax” or “Company”), a
leading supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and
other semiconductor products, today announced Himax’s display
driver IC of Quad HD (“QHD”) resolution family, HX8396-C, has been
adopted by HTC, one of the world’s leading mobile manufacturers, to
power its new flagship smartphone HTC 10.
Himax’s HX8396-C is by far the smallest QHD
display driver IC for high-end TFT-LCD smartphones in the industry
with outstanding power efficiency and ultimate display performance.
Through integrated frame buffer and proprietary memory compression
technologies, HX8396-C reduces power consumption of the application
processor and device for extended battery life. As a leading
innovator of display solutions, Himax’s QHD resolution display
driver ICs are backed by the built-in Optimal Display
Synthesizer (ODS) to deliver advanced features, including Color
Enhancement (CE), Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC) and
Sunlight Readability Enhancement (SRE) to make displays brighter
and wider color gamut. These features optimize both battery life
and image quality. HX8396-C supports the latest VESA (Video
Electronics Standards Association) Display Stream Compression
standard and MIPI DSI 2-port interface. It is compatible with all
mainstream application processors, and adopted by international
panel makers with mass production started in 2015.
"We are happy that HTC has adopted our product
in their latest flagship smartphone HTC 10," stated Jordan Wu,
Chief Executive Officer and President of Himax Technologies, Inc.
"Viewing experience is critical to smartphones nowadays and Himax
has always been working side by side with panel makers and mobile
brand companies and manufacturers on next generation displays to
enable better devices. I’m glad to also announce that leading LTPS
panel makers have been actively adopting Himax’s QHD display driver
solutions."
