Himax Reports Q1 Results

Himax reports its Q1 2012 results. Its CEO, Jordan Wu, says few words about the image sensor business: "In our CMOS image sensor product line, we have successfully penetrated several top-tier customers in the notebook/PC markets with some shipments already started at the end of the first quarter. In 2012, we expect to see significant shipments of our HD720p sensors, which are used by many customers to replace the older VGA sensors with the proliferation of Windows 8. We are also seeing rapid growth and promising opportunities in China for our new sensor products used in both the smartphone and automotive/surveillance product segments."
