What does HIMX invest in?

Himax Technologies, Inc. functions as a fabless semiconductor firm, delivering advanced display processing and imaging technologies across a global operational footprint that includes China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Korea, Japan, Europe, and the United States. The company's business activities are categorized into two main divisions: Driver Integrated Circuits (ICs) and Non-Driver offerings. Within its Driver IC segment, Himax engineers and supplies display driver ICs alongside their crucial timing controllers. These components are vital for a vast array of electronic displays, such as those found in televisions, personal computers (laptops and monitors), mobile communication devices (smartphones and tablets), automotive systems (for vehicles and navigation), digital cameras, virtual reality devices, and various other consumer electronics. Beyond its display driver solutions, Himax's Non-Driver Products portfolio presents a diverse range of technological innovations. This includes controller chips for touch-sensitive displays, comprehensive single-chip solutions integrating in-cell touch with display driver capabilities (TDDI), and ICs for managing light-emitting diodes and power. Furthermore, Himax develops liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) microdisplays, which are fundamental for augmented reality (AR) applications and head-up display systems in the automotive sector. This non-driver division also provides sophisticated complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors and wafer-level optical components. These are essential for cutting-edge technologies like augmented reality, advanced 3D sensing, and ultra-low power artificial intelligence (AI) image sensing. Their broad utility extends to numerous applications, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, televisions, PC cameras, automobiles, security systems, medical devices, smart home appliances, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Himax markets its display drivers and related display products primarily to panel manufacturers, authorized agents or distributors, module assembly facilities, and integration houses. Conversely, its specialized non-driver products are supplied to producers of camera modules, optical engine developers, and television system manufacturers. Established in 2001, Himax Technologies, Inc. maintains its corporate headquarters in Tainan City, Taiwan.
