Himax Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMX#NASDAQ">HIMX</a>), an industry leader in fabless display driver ICs and other semiconductors, today announced the successful mass production of its cutting-edge In-Cell Touch TDDI (Touch and Display Driver Integration) solution, the HX83132, for high-end LCD AI laptops. The HX83132 has already been adopted by several leading panel makers across the board. By entering mass production during the third quarter of 2024, this marks a significant milestone for the first-of-its-kind, innovative product. As notebook brand customers increasingly prioritize product differentiation and value enhancement, the integration of touch functionality into displays of high-end laptops and AI PCs has emerged as a key trend. Himax HX83132 is featured in one marquee brand's first AI laptops, which boasts a 15.3-inch, 2.8K high-resolution touch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, significantly enhancing both interactivity and visual experience for seamless, intuitive user operations.
In-cell TDDI has become a mainstream technology for LCD displays, characterized by the seamless integration of touch functionality with display driver ICs. This integration not only simplifies the supply chain but also provides substantial cost benefits to panel manufacturers. Having pioneered the mass production of In-cell TDDI technology for mid-sized tablets and automotive displays in 2019, Himax has established itself as the industry leader by introducing an industry-first touch display solution supporting screen sizes of up to 45 inches for ultra-large automotive applications. The newly launched HX83132 series further expands the application of In-cell TDDI technology to laptops, boasting a unique design architecture that pairs seamlessly with timing controller (Tcon) chips supporting various eDP specifications which make it suitable for both mainstream and high-end LCD laptops. This TDDI and Tcon configuration effectively minimizes the need for supporting components, resulting in a more compact PCB size and narrower bezel design. The HX83132 series offers precise touch sensitivity, ensuring smooth human-machine interaction, significantly enhancing user experience and improving productivity.
The industry-leading HX83132 In-cell TDDI solution offers the following key features:
<ul>
<li>Flexible support for diverse panel sizes and resolutions: The advanced chip architecture can interconnect up to 6 chips, accommodating a wide range of laptop display needs with support for screen sizes up to 16 inches and resolutions up to 4K &nbsp;</li>
<li>Optimized and streamlined module architecture design: The HX83132 solution outperforms competition by providing more display and touch channels at the same resolution while utilizing fewer ICs. Additionally, the integrated microprocessor and level shifter minimize the need for external components, resulting in a smaller PCB size and enhanced design efficiency &nbsp;</li>
<li>Leveraging existing architecture for rapid In-cell Touch upgrades: The HX83132 features a state-of-the-art, integrated proprietary display driver and touch controller architecture. From a display perspective, it utilizes a standard Tcon architecture, which enables pure display panels, without the need for a dedicated Tcon for the In-cell touch functionality. Meanwhile, the TDDI integrates an in-house proprietary distributed touch microprocessor architecture, specifically designed to handle the high computational demands of touch data processing, effectively reducing development time &nbsp;</li>
<li>Comprehensive support for various power-saving operation scenarios: The HX83132 is compatible with eDP 1.4 and eDP 1.5 Tcons, and supports multiple power-saving features, including Panel Self Refresh (PSR) and User-Based Refresh Rate (UBRR), optimizing energy efficiency across different usage scenarios</li>

Himax to Integrate WiseEye Ultralow Power AI Sensing Solution with Nvidia TAO to Advance AI Vision Deployment for Enterprises, Battery Powered Devices

Himax Technologies Announced Its Strategic Investment In Obsidian Sensors, Inc. For An Undisclosed Amount.

Himax Technologies, Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMX#NASDAQ">HIMX</a>)&nbsp;reported a fiscal first-quarter revenue decline of 15.0% year-on-year to $207.55 million, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $203.40 million.&nbsp;Net revenues&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/05/g38724014/himax-technologies-inc-reports-first-quarter-2024-financial-results-provides-second-quarter-2024-g" rel="noreferrer noopener">decreased 8.8% Q/Q</a>.
Earnings per ADS was&nbsp;$0.07, beating the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate of $0.05</a>.
The gross margin reached 29.3%, outperforming the guidance of around 28.5%.
Revenue from large display drivers was $31.3 million, a decrease of 7% Q/Q due to seasonally soft macroeconomic conditions compounded by ongoing production and inventory control measures by&nbsp;the company&#8217;s&nbsp;leading panel customers.&nbsp;
Small and medium-sized display driver revenue was $144.3 million, a decrease of 11.5% Q/Q.
Revenue for non-driver business was $32.0 million, up 3.4% Q/Q, attributable&nbsp;to a resurgence in orders for large-sized display Tcon products.
Operating expenses for the quarter declined 0.6% Y/Y to $50.7 million.
The operating&nbsp;income was $10.0 million compared to $17.6 million a year ago, and the margin declined by 240 bps to 4.8%, primarily driven by&nbsp;lower sales.&nbsp;
As of March 31, 2024, the company&#8217;s inventories were $201.9 million, markedly lower than&nbsp;$217.3 million&nbsp;last quarter.
Himax held $261.7 million of cash, cash equivalents, and other financial assets&nbsp;as of March 31, 2024.&nbsp;HIMX generated a positive cash flow of $56.7 million, compared to $66.4 million a year ago.
Dividend:&nbsp;The company declared an annual cash dividend of $0.29 per ADS, payable on July 12, 2024.
&#8220;We believe Q1 will be the low point for this year and see sales starting to&nbsp;pick up&nbsp;in Q2, especially in the automotive sector. With several other upcoming demand catalysts on the horizon, including major sporting events and festival shopping seasons, business momentum&nbsp;is expected&nbsp;to continue&nbsp;to steadily improve throughout the second half,&#8221; said Mr. Jordan Wu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Himax.
&#8220;The automotive display market is experiencing a megatrend of expanding quantities, sizes, and sophistication of displays within vehicles as fancy displays are increasingly becoming a major selling point for car makers. As the leader in the automotive display IC business, Himax&nbsp;is poised&nbsp;to benefit from this trend, which implies higher content value per vehicle for display semiconductor vendors such as us, leading to sustainable growth slated for the next few years,&#8221; concluded Mr. Jordan Wu.
Q2 Guidance:&nbsp;HIMX expects net revenues to grow 8.0%—13.0% sequentially&nbsp;vs. the estimate of $219.75 million. It projects a gross margin of 31.5%—33.5% primarily because of higher sales from automotive and Tcon businesses&nbsp;and EPADS of $0.13 &#8211; $0.17&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">versus&nbsp;the $0.09&nbsp;estimate</a>.
Price Action:&nbsp;HIMX shares traded higher by 10% at $5.74 at&nbsp;the last check Thursday.

The solution incorporates Himax&#39;s leading-edge WiseEye&trade;&nbsp;ultralow power AI sensing technology with E Ink&#39;s signage EPD (&quot;Electronic Paper Display&quot;), featuring industry-leading E Ink&#39;s Kaleido display, and ESL (&quot;Electronic Shelf Label&quot;). Leveraging WiseEye, the smart retail solution deploys context-aware AI in human presence and shopper insight detection while also significantly enhancing the already impressive battery life of an ePaper display and enabling real-time personalized marketing. 
&nbsp;
Himax WiseEye ultralow power AI sensing technology incorporates Himax proprietary ultralow power AI processor, always-on CMOS image sensor, and CNN-based AI algorithm, offering state-of-the-art ultralow power, always-on sensing, on-device context-aware AI and has been widely deployed in consumer electronics and AIoT related applications. In an era where personal data privacy is paramount, WiseEye AI ensures the security of sensitive personal data by conducting AI inferences locally on the endpoint devices. This approach guarantees that no raw images are transmitted outside the device. Instead, only AI-enabled personalized metadata is delivered in byte-level size to the store management system on the cloud. This greatly reduces latency, minimizes power consumption, and ultimately offers users maximum privacy protection for their information.
Amidst the rising popularity of ePaper displays in the smart retail sector already known for their remarkable energy efficiency, the integration of WiseEye technology-enabled smart camera devices into retail environments, utilizing E Ink&#39;s robust ecosystem in E-Signage and ESL, signifies a collaborative effort poised to deliver even greater benefits. These include gaining valuable insights into customer behavior, optimizing inventory management, and delivering personalized marketing messages. By leveraging WiseEye&#39;s ultralow power AI, the deployment of battery-powered devices becomes feasible, facilitating easy installation throughout the store and enabling comprehensive data collection. The rich metadata set collected by WiseEye AI, such as people count, location, and dwell time enhances the analysis of customer foot traffic patterns, popular shopper routes, and demographic information. For example, real-time promotions and discount information could be instantly displayed on ePaper devices, emphasizing key content in areas where shoppers are congregating. Additionally, WiseEye can effectively monitor shelf goods and warehouse inventory in real time, providing a robust mechanism for efficient inventory management. Overall, WiseEye-enabled smart cameras can play a crucial role in helping retailers optimize operations and provide personalized experiences to their customers, ultimately driving business growth and profitability.
Moreover, within the domain of smart signage, Himax WiseEye AI is revolutionizing e-signage, embodied E Ink&#39;s Kaleido display, offering a versatile suite of always-on sensing AI capabilities, including human presence and individual detection. Leveraging Himax&#39;s ultralow power AI for human presence detection, the EPD dynamically adjusts displayed content upon detecting customers approaching, thereby significantly conserving power compared to conventional fixed-interval content changes. For individual detection, the WiseEye-equipped in-store e-signage discerns a viewer&#39;s individual characteristics, such as gender expression, appearance, and age, and displays an individual-correlated and/or personalized advertisement and recommendation of near-by merchants along with relevant product details such as shelf location and manufacturer brands. This creates a real-time enhancement of the shopping experience for customers. Most notably, WiseEye achieves these AI advancements while consuming mere milliwatts of power. When combined with its significant power-saving feature, this results in an extensive battery life for smart e-signage systems.
&quot;The partnership between Himax and E Ink marks a significant evolution from our years of collaboration in the e-reader industry, now venturing into the domain of e-signage and ESL. Leveraging E Ink&#39;s versatile ePaper technologies and extensive industry reach, combined with Himax&#39;s robust AI and ultralow power expertise, our goal is to redefine the possibilities of next-generation e-signage and ESL products, envisioning enhanced precision, privacy, and versatility,&quot; concluded Mr. Mark Chen, Vice President of Smart Sensing business at Himax.
&quot;The synergy of E Ink&#39;s ePaper solutions with Himax WiseEye ultralow power AI solution delivers the ultimate battery-powered smart retail signage and ESL solutions boasting significantly extended battery life,&quot; said Mr. JM Hung, Vice President of Business Center at E Ink. &quot;This collaboration enables us to gain deeper insights into end customers&#39;&nbsp;consumption intentions, facilitating customized product promotions and ultimately driving potential sales growth,&quot; concluded Mr. Hung.

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
<a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/semiconductor/">Semiconductor stocks</a> represent one of the most powerful investment categories as the central asset undergirds myriad digital innovations. Without the most advanced computer chips, none of the innovations that we take for granted &ndash; especially artificial intelligence &ndash; would be possible. Thanks to the tech sector fallout, many (if not most) of these enterprises are now on sale.



Of course, you want to be selective with your wish list. Not every semiconductor firm will enjoy resounding success. And some may have even further to drop before they truly look enticing. Still, other entities have become so cheapened that they&rsquo;re worth taking a bet on. At the very least, you should keep your watch list warmed up.



Ultimately, in less than a decade from now, the semiconductor market <a href="https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/semiconductor-market-102365">could become a $2 trillion-plus ecosystem</a>. That&rsquo;s the narrative you want to focus on. With that, below are smart semiconductor stocks that are now trading at more attractive prices.



<h2>Qualcomm (QCOM)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/qcom-stock-9-300x169.jpg" alt="Qualcomm (QCOM) logo on an outdoor sign"><div>Source: Akshdeep Kaur Raked / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Back in the latter half of July, I stated that I supported the bullish case for wireless semiconductor specialist Qualcomm (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/qcom-stock-quote/">QCOM</a>). However, I wasn&rsquo;t exactly enamored with the price. QCOM stock had gained a considerable amount of value. Yet there were also signs of weakness that suggested that shares had further to fall. I went on record to state that <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/07/qcom-outlook-love-qualcomm-stock-consider-waiting-for-140/">waiting for $140 would be ideal</a>.



Keep in mind that at the time, QCOM stock was trading hands for around $193. Following Monday&rsquo;s close, shares ended the session just south of $158. That&rsquo;s a significant decline. And yes, it&rsquo;s possible that QCOM could still have more to drop until $140. The thing is, that number isn&rsquo;t guaranteed. If you want to nibble at the chipmaker now, it&rsquo;s arguably not the worst idea in the world.



Right now, shares trade hands at 4.82X trailing-year sales. Considering that analysts believe fiscal 2024 revenue <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/qcom/analysis">could land at $38.58 billion</a> &ndash; and thus an increase of 22.9% from the prior year&rsquo;s tally &ndash; shares are trading at 4.54X projected revenue (assuming a shares outstanding count of 1.11 billion). That makes QCOM one of the more attractive semiconductor stocks out right now.



<h2>Texas Instruments (TXN)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/txn-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="Texas Instruments logo on its world headquarters located in Dallas, Texas."><div>Source: Katherine Welles / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/txn-stock-quote/">TXN</a>) represents another attractive idea for semiconductor stocks on discount. For one thing, the company offers myriad relevant products. It makes analog and embedded processing chips, which represent the backbone of the semiconductor ecosystem. Second, the tech giant has been <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/intel-pausing-dividend-dividend-paying-220036127.html">paying a dividend for 20 years</a>. Right now, the forward dividend yield stands at 2.87%.



Another attractive element is the consistent financial performances. In the past year since the second quarter, Texas has posted an average earnings per share of $1.44. This figure exceeded the collective consensus view of $1.38, thus yielding an earnings surprise of 4.85%. Even better, the print has been stronger in recent quarters.



Right now, shares trade hands at 10.68X sales. Granted, that&rsquo;s a premium over the past year&rsquo;s average metric of 9.03X. Following some projected choppy weather in fiscal 2024, the following year could see revenue of $17.95 billion. The high-side estimate calls for $21.09 billion. Last year, the company generated sales of $17.52 billion.



Combined with the passive income, TXN makes for an intriguing case for semiconductor stocks on sale.



<h2>Himax Technologies (HIMX)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/himx-1600-300x169.png" alt="Shipping label of a box from Himax. HIMX stock."><div>Source: Mamat Suryadi / Shutterstock</div></div>One of the lesser-appreciated semiconductor stocks, Himax Technologies (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/himx-stock-quote/">HIMX</a>) is a fabless chip manufacturer. Primarily, the company specializes in image-processing technologies. It serves multiple sectors, including consumer electronics (televisions, PC monitors, laptops), mobile devices (phones and tablets) and automotive. Considering that these sectors aren&rsquo;t projected to fade out anytime soon, Himax represents one of the more relevant entities.



Now, what makes HIMX stock attractive is the recent tech sector fallout. Prior to the implosion of red ink, Himax really started to gain traction. From late April to late June, shares moved up from under $5 to just under $9. However, July weakness compounded with the August selloff has turned HIMX negative for the year.



That could be an opportunity for contrarians. Right now, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/himx/key-statistics">HIMX stock trades at 1.09X sales</a>. In the past year, the metric stood at an average 1.12X. About one year ago, the average multiple was 1.14X. Now, it&rsquo;s true that sales may take a slight dip this year. However, a sizable recovery could take place in fiscal 2025, making HIMX one of the semiconductor stocks to buy on the dip.
