Himax and Liqxtal Technology Unveil Liqxtal™ Graph Display Glasses, an Unprecedented Innovation, to Debut at Vision Expo West 2023
September 21 2023 - 4:15AM
Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX) (“Himax” or “Company”), a
leading supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and
other semiconductor products, and Liqxtal Technology Inc.
(“Liqxtal”), a subsidiary of Himax dedicated to developing various
liquid crystal optical components with exceptional design
expertise, particularly specialized in electrically tunable lenses,
today jointly unveiled the patented Liqxtal™ Graph Display Glasses
which will debut at Vision Expo West 2023. The Vision Expo West is
one of the most prestigious eyewear exhibitions around the world
scheduled to take place from September 27 to 30, 2023 in Las Vegas,
Nevada.
Liqxtal Graph is an unparalleled, patented
technology with a design based on reflective TFT liquid crystal
(“LC”) architecture that can display colored digital content, such
as text, figure and animation, directly on the outer surface of the
glasses lenses without compromising the user's line of sight, while
delivering a comparable wearing experience to conventional glasses.
When paired with the prevailing Internet of Things (IoT)
technology, Liqxtal Graph can transform glasses into an innovative
display platform that dynamically showcases diverse virtual colored
objects onto the lenses with ultralow power consumption, making it
ideal for wearable devices. This creates a broad array of
application possibilities, such as real time signage, interactive
gaming, and social media interaction, among others, greatly
expanding the use cases for conventional glasses.
“Liqxtal Graph is a ground-breaking display
technology that defies imagination through the display of
personalized and colored content on the exterior lens of glasses
for external viewers to enjoy, while concurrently allowing the
glasses-wearer clear visibility without line of sight blocked by
the displayed images,” said Hung Shan Chen, Vice President,
President Office of Liqxtal. “In addition, Liqxtal Graph features
ultralow power consumption and real-time interactive capabilities
that make it easy to use for wearable devices. Since its launch,
the technology has garnered widespread recognition from numerous
industrial leaders. Active collaborations are currently underway
with customers across a diverse array of applications, such as
boutiques, fashion, sports, games, concerts, and amusement parks,
among others,” concluded Mr. Chen.
Liqxtal invites all interested parties to stop
by their exhibition booth F3093 at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas
to witness firsthand the exclusive experience of the Liqxtal Graph
Display Glasses. To schedule a meeting or booth tour, please
