Himax to Showcase WiseEye Palm Vein Authentication Featuring On-Device AI and GDPR-Compliant Privacy at Sectech Sweden 2025

Featuring Privacy-first, Ultralow Power AI Biometric Innovations to Enable Secure, Contactless, High-Speed Authentication for Next-Generation Access Control Applications

TAINAN, Taiwan, Oct. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Himax Technologies, Inc. (“Himax” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: HIMX), a leading provider of fabless display driver ICs and other semiconductor solutions, has announced it will showcase its WiseEye ultralow power AI technology spotlighting its palm vein authentication capabilities at Sectech Sweden 2025, an exhibition event focused on security solutions, taking place from Oct. 14 -15, 2025 in Sweden.

WiseEye palm vein authentication delivers a contactless and hygienic user experience, enabling rapid identity verification in under 100 milliseconds. It features industry-leading performance with a False Acceptance Rate (FAR) below 1% and superior liveness detection accuracy, making it ideal for seamless integration into diverse access control environments. Built on a privacy-first architecture, WiseEye employs on-device AI to perform real-time palm vein recognition entirely on endpoint devices, eliminating biometric data storage and ensuring maximum privacy and user trust. Moreover, Himax’s biometric authentication portfolio complies with Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), one of the world’s most stringent data privacy laws, ensuring strong privacy protection and enabling adoption in highly regulated markets. Proven in mass production across a wide range of access control devices, the WiseEye PalmVein Module offers a compact, lightweight, and secure embedded biometric solution with strong privacy protection. The module is certified to PSA (Platform Security Architecture) Level 2, attesting to its compliance with rigorous industry security standards.

During the event, Himax will also unveil its expanded biometric suite, a bimodal authentication solution combining palm vein and facial recognition, meticulously designed to meet customer demand for greater flexibility in smart door locks under all environmental conditions. By integrating two biometric modalities, it enhances both security and user convenience, representing a significant breakthrough in biometric technology for battery-powered smart devices.

Himax invites all interested parties to stop by our exhibition booth at C6:47 (Stockholmsmässan, Älvsjö, Sweden) to experience the future of biometric authentication firsthand. To schedule a meeting or booth tour, please contact Himax at [e-mail].
