Hi Linus,

In some internal documentation it says "LCD Driver IC" "HX83112A" and I
don't see any reference to Truly 5P65 anywhere.

On their website they have this sentence:

  Himax offers display drivers for mobile handset displays that combine
  source driver, gate driver, timing controller, frame buffer, and DC to
  DC circuits into a single chip in various display technologies, such
  as TFT-LCD, LTPS, In-Cell Touch and AMOLED.

While I'm not super well versed in panel driver ICs, this sounds like it
should be the one to take the name from?

Regards
Luca
