Himax Technologies, Inc. announced the Company will debut in-cell TDDI, HX83132 series, for prevailing LCD notebook, and the on-cell touch controller, HX85200 series, targeting high-end AMOLED notebook at CES 2024, the consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, U.S.A., from January 9 - 12, 2024. Over the past few years, in-cell TDDI has been proven the mainstream technology as it provides integrated cutting-edge display and touch features that substantially simplify the touch module supply chain at superior cost advantages. It not only features advancements in large size, high resolution, low power consumption, as well as slim bezel, but also includes precise touch sensitivity and perceptive active stylus for seamless and intuitive human-machine interface for laptop to improve user experience and work efficiency.

At CES, Himax will showcase a large-sized TFT LCD panel for laptop embedded with HX83132, demonstrating in-cell touch functionality as well as leading active stylus technology which make it a perfect fit for contemporary laptop requirements. Additionally, this IC can be adopted on a-Si TFT, Oxide TFT, and LTPS panels, supporting resolution ranging from FHD, WQXGA, 2.8K, 3K to 4K, again illustrating Himax's technology leadership in this domain. Meanwhile, premium notebooks are quickly adopting AMOLED panels in pursuit of a more slim and light weight design while providing high brightness and contrast as well as broad color gamut and rich colors characteristics.

Himax's OLED solution, including AMOLED TCON and driver IC, has already commenced mass production for a series of automotive, tablet, and notebook. Now, with the unveiling of the on-cell touch controller IC, HX85200 series for notebook display at CES 2024, Himax has once again taken on a pioneer role by providing a comprehensive solution for AMOLED displays.
