Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX) (“Himax” or “Company”), a supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and other semiconductor products, today announced the unveiling of its miniature ultra-luminous Dual-Edge Front-lit LCoS microdisplay at Display Week 2025. Organized by the Society for Information Display (SID), Display Week is one of the premier symposiums and exhibitions in the display industry and taking place May 11–16, 2025 in San Jose. Himax Senior Director, Simon Fan-Chiang will deliver an in-depth presentation on this cutting-edge technology during Session 3 of the symposium on May 13.
Himax’s proprietary Dual-Edge Front-lit LCoS microdisplay integrates both the illumination optics and LCoS panel into an exceptionally compact form factor, as small as 0.09 c.c., and weighing only 0.2 grams, while targeting up to 350,000 nits brightness and 1 lumen output at just 250mW maximum total power consumption, demonstrating unparalleled optical efficiency. With a 720×720 resolution and 4.25µm pixel pitch, it delivers outstanding clarity and color vibrancy in a miniature footprint. The microdisplay’s compact and power-efficient design enables significantly smaller form factors without compromising brightness, clarity, or color, redefining the boundaries of high-performance miniature optics. With industry-leading compact form factor, superior brightness and power efficiency, it is ideally suited for next-generation AR glasses and head-mounted displays where space, weight, and thermal constraints are critical.
“We are proud to introduce our state-of-the-art Dual-Edge Front-lit LCoS microdisplay, a true milestone in display innovation,” said Jordan Wu, CEO of Himax. This achievement is the result of years of rigorous development, delivering an industry-leading combination of ultra-compact size, extremely lightweight design, high brightness, and exceptional power efficiency to meet the demanding needs of AR device makers. We believe this breakthrough technology will be a game-changer for next-generation AR applications.”
