Himax to Display WiseEye Palm Vein Authentication, Incorporating On-Device AI and GDPR-Compliant Privacy, at Sectech Sweden 2025

Posted on by

Highlighting biometric advancements in ultra-low power AI that prioritize privacy, designed for secure, contactless, high-speed authentication in modern access control systems.

TAINAN, Taiwan, October 14, 2025 – Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX), also referred to as “Himax” or “the Company,” a prominent supplier of fabless display driver integrated circuits and diverse semiconductor products, has revealed plans to exhibit its WiseEye™ ultra-low power AI technology. The showcase will focus on its palm vein authentication features at Sectech Sweden 2025, a security solutions exhibition held in Sweden from October 14-15, 2025.

The WiseEye™ palm vein authentication system provides a contactless and sanitary user interaction, facilitating swift identity checks in less than 100 milliseconds. It boasts top-tier performance, with a False Acceptance Rate (FAR) under 1% and exceptional liveness detection precision, rendering it perfectly suited for effortless integration across various access control setups. Designed with a privacy-first approach, WiseEye leverages on-device AI to conduct real-time palm vein recognition exclusively on the end devices, thereby avoiding the storage of biometric data and guaranteeing utmost privacy and user confidence. Furthermore, Himax’s range of biometric authentication offerings adheres to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of Europe, recognized as one of the globe’s strictest data privacy statutes. This compliance ensures robust privacy safeguards and enables its deployment in heavily regulated sectors. Already deployed in mass production for numerous access control devices, the WiseEye PalmVein Module presents a compact, lightweight, and secure embedded biometric solution backed by robust privacy features. The module holds a PSA (Platform Security Architecture) Level 2 certification, confirming its adherence to stringent industry security benchmarks.

At the event, Himax intends to introduce its enhanced biometric suite, a dual-mode authentication system that merges palm vein and facial recognition. This solution has been carefully developed to address client needs for increased versatility in smart door locks, adaptable to all environmental scenarios. By incorporating two biometric methods, it elevates both security and user ease, marking a notable advancement in biometric technology for smart devices powered by batteries.

Himax extends an invitation to all interested individuals to visit its exhibition booth, located at C6:47 (Stockholmsmässan, Älvsjö, Sweden), to personally witness the innovations in biometric authentication. For scheduling appointments or booth tours, please reach out to Himax via .
