Himax Technologies has launched its versatile OLED automotive show driver and timing controller for BOE Technology, based on the Taiwan-based fabless chipmaker.
Using chip-on-film (COF) packaging, Himax’s versatile OLED show driver expertise is featured in BOE’s 12.3-inch three-unit curved versatile OLED automotive shows for cockpit areas with solely 0.99 mm bezels. In addition to its OLED driver, Himax has additionally developed a personalized timing controller for BOE to fabricate its curved versatile OLED automotive shows thinner and lighter.
