    <title>Himax Announces Plans for Dual Listing On Taiwan Stock Exchange</title>
  </head>
  <body><p align="right">EXHIBIT 99.1</p><h3 align="center">Himax Announces Plans for Dual Listing On Taiwan Stock Exchange</h3>
<p>TAINAN, Taiwan, June 11, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:HIMX) today announced its plans for a dual listing on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
</p>
<p>
Himax is a Cayman-incorporated company which has listed its American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, each representing one ordinary share, on the Nasdaq since March 2006. The total number of outstanding shares is approximately 185 million shares, of which approximately half in the form of ADSs are traded on the Nasdaq. Currently, shareholders can freely convert their ordinary shares into ADSs, or vice versa, subject to certain procedures and fees. The Company plans to list all of its ordinary shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, while maintaining its ADS listing on the Nasdaq and maintaining the two-way fungibility between its ordinary shares to be listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange and its ADSs.
</p>
<p>
In less then eight years since our inception in June 2001, Himax has become the world's 11th largest fabless semiconductor company in 2008 according to GSA and Taiwan's second largest fabless semiconductor company, with 2008 consolidated revenues of US$833 million. Furthermore, Himax ranked the world's number one display driver supplier for large panel applications in 2008 according to iSuppli.
</p>
<p>
Jordan Wu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Himax, commented, "Taiwan, in which Himax is based, has played an integral and critical role in the world's semiconductor and TFT-LCD panel supply chains and has numerous up-stream and down-stream companies. And therefore, Taiwan has attracted abundant institutional investment funds focusing on technology investment. Over the past few years, we have been keeping a close dialogue with investors in Taiwan and other parts of Asia, who have expressed strong interest in trading Himax shares within their time-zone. We believe a Taiwan listing would provide a more convenient trading platform for these Asian-based investors and would help our corporate value to be fully reflected through the more active stock trades.
</p>
<p>
Mr. Wu continued, "We aim to become the world's leading semiconductor solution provider for the flat panel display industry. We remain confident in maintaining our worldwide leadership in display drivers and endeavor to grow our non-driver businesses which include timing controllers, LCD TV and monitor chipset solutions, LCOS projector solutions, power management ICs and CMOS image sensors. We believe these products will become our growth drivers in the long term."
</p>
<p>
Yuanta Securities has been appointed as the lead underwriter for Himax's Taiwan listing. The Company expects to list on the Taiwan stock exchange at the end of 2009 or beginning of 2010.
</p>
<p>
