Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements |
9 Months Ended |

Sep. 30, 2018 | |
| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
| Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements | Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal Year 2018 Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method as applied to customer contracts that were not completed as January 1, 2018. As a result, financial information for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while comparative financial information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy for revenue recognition prior to the adoption of ASC 606. This guidance supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 requires certain additional disclosures around the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company has documented its accounting policy for the new standard based on a detailed review of its business and contracts. Based on the new guidance, the Company continues to recognize revenue at a particular point in time for the majority of its contracts with customers, which is generally when products are either shipped or delivered, as customer contracts did not meet the criteria in ASC 606 for over-time revenue recognition, specifically the over-time revenue recognition criteria of creating an asset with no alternative use and having an enforceable right to payment for progress towards completion. Therefore, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company has expanded its consolidated financial statement disclosures in order to comply with the disclosure requirements of the ASU. See Note 14 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosures regarding the Company’s revenue. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The most significant impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements relates to the recognition and measurement of equity investments at fair value with changes recognized in net income. The amendment also updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements. The Company had a cumulative-effect adjustment in the first quarter of 2018 of approximately $6.6 million related to the reclassification of the net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities as of January 1, 2018 from other comprehensive income to retained earnings due to the adoption of this guidance. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which provides guidance for lease accounting. The new guidance contained in the ASU stipulates that lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for substantially all leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. Treatment in the consolidated statements of income will be similar to the current treatment of operating and capital leases. The new guidance is effective on a modified retrospective basis for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements, including reviewing all of the available practical expedients for transition. Upon adoption, the Company does not anticipate a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

| Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the cost of an acquisition in excess of the fair values assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. The Company recorded Goodwill of $307.4 million as part of the HomeLink® acquisition. The carrying value of Goodwill as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018 was $307.4 million. In addition to annual impairment testing, which is performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter, the Company continuously monitors for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions in determining fair value thus resulting in the need for interim impairment testing, including long-term revenue growth projections, profitability, discount rates, recent market valuations from transactions by comparable companies, volatility in the Company's market capitalization, and general industry, market and macroeconomic conditions. No such events or circumstances in the most recently completed quarter indicated the need for interim impairment testing. The patents and intangible assets and related change in carrying values are set forth in the tables below: As of September 30, 2018:
As of December 31, 2017:
Amortization expense on patents and intangible assets was approximately $5.6 million and $16.9 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to approximately $5.6 million and $16.9 million for the same periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions, the Company continues to estimate amortization expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 to be approximately $22 million annually.

| Investments | The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for its financial assets and liabilities, and for its non-financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards that permit, or in some cases, require estimates of fair-market value. This standard also expanded financial statement disclosure requirements about a company’s use of fair-value measurements, including the effect of such measurement on earnings. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The Company’s investments in common stock are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices, and as such are classified as Level 1 assets. The Company determines the fair value of its government securities and corporate bonds by utilizing monthly valuation statements that are provided by its broker. The broker determines the investment valuation by utilizing the bid price in the market and also refers to third party sources to validate valuations, and as such are classified as Level 2 assets. The Company's certificates of deposit have remaining maturities of less than one year and are considered as Level 1 assets. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company made technology investments in certain non-consolidated third- parties for ownership interests of less than 20%. These investments do not have readily determinable fair values, and the Company has not identified any observable events that would cause adjustment of the valuation to date, and therefore these investments are held at cost at a total of $3.2 million as of September 30, 2018. These investments are classified within Long-Term Investments in the consolidated balance sheet. Assets or liabilities that have recurring fair value measurements are shown below as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017: As of September 30, 2018

No investment losses were considered to be other than temporary during the periods presented.

| Stock-Based Compensation Plans | Stock-Based Compensation Plans As of September 30, 2018, the Company had four equity incentive plans which include two stock option plans, a restricted stock plan and an employee stock purchase plan. All plans and any prior material amendments thereto have previously been approved by shareholders. Readers should refer to Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the calendar year ended December 31, 2017, for additional information related to these stock-based compensation plans. The Company recognized compensation expense for share-based payments of $4,829,463 and $13,196,413 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $3,067,076 and $9,957,687 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Compensation cost for share based payment awards capitalized as part of inventory as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $224,025 and $279,102, respectively. Employee Stock Option Plan The Company has an employee stock option plan covering 24,000,000 shares of common stock. The purpose of the plan is to provide an opportunity to use stock options as a means of recruiting new managerial and technical personnel and as a means for retaining certain employees of the Company by allowing them to purchase shares of common stock of the Corporation and thereby having an additional incentive to contribute to the prosperity of the Company. The fair value of each option grant in the employee stock option plan was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the indicated periods:
1. Represents the Company’s estimated cash dividend yield over the expected term of option grant. 2. Amount is determined based on analysis of historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected volatility is based on the daily percentage change in the price of the stock over a period equal to the expected term of the option grant. 3. Represents the U.S. Treasury yield over the expected term of the option grant. 4. Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Based on analysis of historical option exercise activity, the Company has determined that all employee groups exhibit similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. Under the employee stock option plan, the option exercise price equals the stock’s market price on date of grant. The options vest after one to five years, and expire after five to ten years. As of September 30, 2018, there was $9,600,422 of unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based payments which is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting periods. Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan The Company has a non-employee director stock option plan covering 1,000,000 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2018, there was $87,458 of unrecognized compensation cost under the non-employee director plan related to share-based payments. The Company has granted options on 480,430 shares under the non-employee director plan through September 30, 2018. Under the non-employee director plan, the option exercise price equals the stock’s market price on the date of grant. The options vest after six months, and expire after ten years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company has an employee stock purchase plan covering 2,000,000 shares of common stock. Under the plan, the Company sells shares at 85% of the stock’s market price at date of purchase. Under ASC 718, the 15% discounted value is recognized as compensation expense. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has granted 924,878 shares under this plan. Restricted Stock Plan The Company has a restricted stock plan covering 9,000,000 shares of common stock. The purpose of the restricted stock plan is to permit grants of shares, subject to restrictions, to employees of the Company as a means of retaining and rewarding them for performance and to increase their ownership in the Company. Shares awarded under the restricted stock plan entitle the shareholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that the shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged or otherwise disposed of during the restriction period. The restriction period is determined by the Compensation Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors, but may not exceed ten years under the terms of the plan. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had unearned stock-based compensation of $33,559,239 associated with these restricted stock grants. The unearned stock-based compensation related to these grants is being amortized to compensation expense over the applicable restriction periods. Amortization expense from restricted stock grants in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $2,480,911 and $6,314,544, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $1,788,162 and $4,014,820, respectively.

Sep. 30, 2018 | |
| Equity [Abstract] | |
| Equity | Equity The decrease in common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was primarily due to the repurchases of 23.1 million shares, of which 17.6 million shares were acquired pursuant to the Company's previously announced share repurchase plan. In addition, 5.5 million shares were repurchased from the former CEO and subsequently retired, pursuant to his previously disclosed retirement agreement, at a price of $20.98 per share. As previously announced, these share repurchases were separately approved by the Company's Board of Directors and were not repurchased as part of the Company’s existing share repurchase plan. The share repurchases for the first nine months of 2018 were partially offset by the issuance of 4.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. The total net decrease was 18.2 million shares. The Company announced a $0.01 per share increase in its quarterly cash dividend rate during the first quarter of 2018. As such, the Company recorded a cash dividend of $0.11 during the third quarter of 2018 as compared to a cash dividend of $0.10 per share during the third quarter of 2017. The third quarter 2018 dividend of $28.8 million was declared on August 29, 2018, and was paid on October 17, 2018.

Income Taxes |

| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The effective tax rate was 15.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 29.8% for the same period in 2017. Generally, effective tax rates for these periods differ from statutory federal income tax rates, due to provisions for state and local income taxes, permanent tax differences, and the foreign-derived intangible income tax deduction during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period of 2017 was due to the reduction of the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Act"), as well as R&D tax credits, discrete tax benefits related to equity compensation, and the foreign-derived intangible income tax deduction. Pursuant to the guidance within SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), the Company has continued to analyze certain aspects of the Act and refine its application to the Company. Although the Company has not completed its accounting for the income tax effects of certain elements of the Act, during the third quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a total provisional expense of $3.3 million related to the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company has continued to recognize provisional effects of the Act for which measurement could be reasonably estimated. The ultimate impact of the Act may differ from these estimates due to its continued analysis or further regulatory guidance that may be issued pursuant to the Act. The Company evaluates the impact of the Act as additional clarification and implementation guidance related to the Act is released. Under SAB 118, adjustments to the provisional amounts recorded by the Company as of September 30, 2018 that are identified within a subsequent measurement period of up to one year from the enactment date will be included as an adjustment to tax expense from continuing operations in the period such provisional amounts are actually determined. The Company anticipates the remaining estimates will be finalized in the fourth quarter 2018.

| Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue | RevenueThe following table shows the Company’s Automotive and Other Products revenue disaggregated by geographical location for Automotive Products for the three and Nine month periods ended September 30, 2018:
Revenue by geographic area may fluctuate based on many factors, including exposure to local economic, political and labor conditions; unexpected changes in laws, regulations, trade or monetary or fiscal policy, including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and changes in the rate of inflation in the U.S. and other foreign countries; and tariffs, quotas, customs and other import or export restrictions and other trade barriers. The following table disaggregates the Company’s Automotive and Other revenue by major source for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018:
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Such recognition generally occurs with the transfer of control of the products at a point in time. OEM contracts generally include Long Term Supply Agreements ("LTSA") and Purchase Orders ("PO") whereby the LTSA sometimes stipulates the pricing and delivery terms and is evaluated together with a PO, which identifies the quantity, timing, and the type of product to be transferred. Certain customer contracts do not always have an LTSA, in which case, the contracts are governed by the PO from the customer in conjunction with other mutually agreed upon terms and conditions. The Company does not generate revenue from arrangements with multiple deliverables. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods excluding revenue amounts that are transferred to third parties, such as sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrently with revenue-producing activities. The Company does not incur any incremental cost to obtain contracts. Costs are incurred to fulfill contracts with the OEM. However, such costs are accounted for under ASC 340-10, and are not treated as fulfillment costs under ASC 340-40. Automotive Products Segment Automotive Rearview Mirrors and Electronics The Company manufactures interior electrochromic automatic-dimming rearview mirrors that darken to reduce glare and improve visibility for the driver. These electronic interior mirrors can also include additional electronic features such as compass, microphones, HomeLink®, lighting assist and driver assist forward safety camera systems, various lighting systems, various telematics systems, ITM® systems, and a wide variety of displays. The Company also ships interior non-automatic-dimming rearview mirrors with features. The Company’s interior electrochromic automatic-dimming rearview mirrors also power the application of the Company’s exterior electrochromic automatic-dimming rearview mirrors that darken to reduce glare and improve visibility for the driver. These electronic exterior mirrors typically range in size and shape per automaker specification, but also include additional features such as turn signal indicators, side blind zone indicators, and courtesy lighting. The Company also ships exterior non-automatic-dimming rearview mirrors with similar electronic features as what is available in its automatic-dimming applications. The Company manufactures other automotive electronics products both inside and outside of the rearview mirror through HomeLink® applications in the vehicle including the rearview mirror, interior visor, overhead console, or center console. For the majority of automotive products, transfer of control and revenue recognition occurs when the Company ships the product from the manufacturing facility to the customer. The Company receives cash equal to the price at the time of invoice for most automotive product sales. For any shipments of product that may be subject to retroactive price adjustments that are then being negotiated, the Company records revenue based on the Company’s best estimate of the amount of consideration to which the entity will be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods to the customer. The Company's approach is to consider these adjustments to the contract price as variable consideration which is estimated based on the then most likely price amount. Payment terms on automotive part sales to customers range from 15 days to 90 days. Estimated revenue is adjusted at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. HomeLink® Modules The Company manufactures and sells HomeLink® Modules individually, as well as in combination with the automotive mirrors and other advanced features, as described above. For the majority of automotive products, transfer of control and revenue recognition occurs when the Company ships the product from the manufacturing facility to the customer. Other Segment Dimmable Aircraft Windows The Company supplies variable dimmable windows for the passenger compartment on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner Series of Aircraft. For dimmable aircraft windows, transfer of control and revenue recognition occurs when the Company ships the product from the manufacturing facility to the customer. Payment terms on dimmable aircraft window sales range from 30 days to 45 days. Fire Protection Products The Company manufactures photoelectric smoke detectors and alarms, visual signaling alarms, electrochemical carbon monoxide detectors and alarms, audible and visual signaling alarms, and bells and speakers for use in fire detection systems in office buildings, hotels, and other commercial and residential buildings. For fire protection parts, transfer of control and revenue recognition occurs when the Company ships the product from the manufacturing facility to the customer. Payment terms on fire protection part sales to customers range from 30 days to 75 days.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements (Policies) |
9 Months Ended |
|---|---|
Sep. 30, 2018 | |
| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
| Adoption of new Accounting Standards | New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal Year 2018 Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method as applied to customer contracts that were not completed as January 1, 2018. As a result, financial information for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while comparative financial information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy for revenue recognition prior to the adoption of ASC 606. This guidance supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 requires certain additional disclosures around the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company has documented its accounting policy for the new standard based on a detailed review of its business and contracts. Based on the new guidance, the Company continues to recognize revenue at a particular point in time for the majority of its contracts with customers, which is generally when products are either shipped or delivered, as customer contracts did not meet the criteria in ASC 606 for over-time revenue recognition, specifically the over-time revenue recognition criteria of creating an asset with no alternative use and having an enforceable right to payment for progress towards completion. Therefore, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company has expanded its consolidated financial statement disclosures in order to comply with the disclosure requirements of the ASU. See Note 14 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosures regarding the Company’s revenue. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The most significant impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements relates to the recognition and measurement of equity investments at fair value with changes recognized in net income. The amendment also updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements. The Company had a cumulative-effect adjustment in the first quarter of 2018 of approximately $6.6 million related to the reclassification of the net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities as of January 1, 2018 from other comprehensive income to retained earnings due to the adoption of this guidance. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which provides guidance for lease accounting. The new guidance contained in the ASU stipulates that lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for substantially all leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. Treatment in the consolidated statements of income will be similar to the current treatment of operating and capital leases. The new guidance is effective on a modified retrospective basis for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements, including reviewing all of the available practical expedients for transition. Upon adoption, the Company does not anticipate a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

1. Represents the Company’s estimated cash dividend yield over the expected term of option grant. 2. Amount is determined based on analysis of historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected volatility is based on the daily percentage change in the price of the stock over a period equal to the expected term of the option grant. 3. Represents the U.S. Treasury yield over the expected term of the option grant. 4. Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Based on analysis of historical option exercise activity, the Company has determined that all employee groups exhibit similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.
