Himax Technologies, Inc. ("Himax" or "Company"), an industry leader in fabless display driver ICs and other semiconductors, today announced it will present its next-generation, proprietary ultra luminous 400K nit Color Sequential Front-lit LCoS Microdisplay solution at CES 2025, the largest consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, U.S.A. from January 7 - 10, 2025. The unparalleled brightness of the LCoS solution reaffirms Himax's market leadership in LCoS and its steadfast commitment to advancing AR applications, catering to the critical demands of leading tech innovators in AR technology.

Himax's proprietary Color Sequential Front-lit LCoS Microdisplay sets a new benchmark in brightness performance for microdisplays. With an industry-leading 400K nits of brightness and typical power consumption of just 300 milliwatts, this breakthrough ensures superior eye-level brightness even in high ambient light environments, making it a perfect fit for outdoor usability. The integration of 2D waveguides further enhances its ability to deliver clear, vibrant visuals, making it ideal for next-generation see-through goggles. In addition to its brightness, the microdisplay boasts a lightweight, ultra-compact form factor of less than 0.5 c.c., exceptional vibrant color performance, and low power consumption, all essential factors for all-day wearable devices. This makes the Color Sequential Front-lit LCoS Microdisplay a perfect solution for the evolving needs of AR goggle devices.At the event, a live demonstration of a Proof of Concept (POC) AR glasses prototype will be on display showcasing technological feasibility of this solution. Featuring the Himax Color Sequential Front-lit LCoS Microdisplay paired with a collimator lens and a 2D waveguide from third-party partners, the glasses deliver a remarkable brightness of over 1,000 nits to the eye, making it well-suited for both outdoor and everyday use. Notably, Himax has long held a leadership position in the field of LCoS technology with extensive design and high-volume production experience spanning well over a decade. This strong foundation empowers Himax to continue driving innovation and meeting the growing demands of the AR market in collaboration with major industry players jointly advancing AR solutions for mass production.

Himax invites all interested parties to stop by our exhibition booth at The Venetian Las Vegas Hotel (3355 Las Vegas Boulevard S, Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A.) Venetian Tower Suite 34-208 to experience the Company's cutting-edge LCoS technology.
