Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION ANADIGICS, Inc. (the “Company”) is an innovator in technology, design, and manufacturing of RF semiconductor solutions for infrastructure and mobile communications and data transmission markets. The Company’s product portfolio includes line amplifiers, reverse path amplifiers, PAs, and FEICs. CATV products provide the critical link within CATV infrastructure communications networks, as well as CPE devices, such as set-top boxes and cable modems. WiFi infrastructure products enable wireless connectivity for infrastructure and multimedia applications, including access points, routers, media gateways, and set-top boxes. Wireless infrastructure products are components in 3G and 4G Small-Cell base stations, including picocells, enterprise-class femtocells, and CPE devices that help carriers expand broadband network coverage and support greater levels of data transmission. Cellular infrastructure products are also used in 3G and 4G IoT applications, including automotive, M2M, and industrial devices. WiFi mobile products are designed to enable WiFi connectivity in smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and portable gaming systems. Cellular mobile products enable 3G and 4G wireless connectivity in mobile handsets, smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. Our Foundry offering provides capacity for large-scale VCSEL wafer processing and testing. The Company designs, develops, and manufactures RFIC’s primarily using GaAs compound semiconductor substrates with various process technologies, including MESFET, pHEMT and HBT. The Company’s patented InGaP- Plus On January 15, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger that was amended on February 1, 2016 and February 26, 2016 (as so amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with II-VI Incorporated, a Pennsylvania corporation (“II-VI”), and Regulus Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of II-VI (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Parent would acquire the Company for a purchase price of $0.85 per share pursuant to a tender offer by Purchaser that commenced on February 2, 2016 and expired on March 11, 2016, under which approximately 53% of the Company’s outstanding shares were tendered and purchased by Purchaser, and which will be followed by a merger of the Purchaser into the Company. As a result of that merger, the Company will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of II-VI. If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, the Purchaser will have acquired all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.85 per share and, after making the required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we would cease to be a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The boards of directors of the Company, II-VI and Purchaser approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the II-VI Merger Agreement. There can be no assurance that a transaction will be consummated or that II-VI will not propose any adjustments to the II-VI Merger Agreement. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has historically operated at a loss and has not consistently generated sufficient cash flows from operations to cover its operating and other cash expenses. In mid-2014, the Company implemented a strategic restructuring plan (Note 2) that the Company believed would place increased emphasis on infrastructure markets, lower operating costs and position the business for improved operating results. However, unexpected declines in revenues resulted in an increase in operating losses. Therefore, the delayed improvement in infrastructure revenue is forecasted to result in operating losses into 2016, larger than those foreseen under the strategic restructuring plan and a continued deterioration in the Company’s liquidity position. Additionally, the Company did not maintain compliance with certain covenants under its revolving credit facility (Note 12). These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. During 2015, the Company explored potential avenues for raising capital through debt or equity, but the limited options that were available would have required the Company to accept unfavorable terms that were costly and highly dilutive to the Company's stockholders. The Company's operating losses, declining cash balance and corresponding need for funding were among the key reasons that the Company's Board of Directors decided to explore the possible sale of the Company in conjunction with its plans to overcome these difficulties. As discussed in the paragraph above, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with II-VI. In conjunction with the Merger Agreement, the Company was able to obtain a loan from II-VI to address the Company's deteriorating liquidity position (see Note 14). There can be no assurance that a transaction will be consummated or that II-VI will not propose any adjustments to the Merger Agreement. The Company will continue to aggressively pursue available sales opportunities, work with distributors and end users to grow future sales, and continue to control costs. However, even after giving consideration to the loan provided by II-VI, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management believes the ability to continue as a going concern through January 1, 2017 is dependent upon increasing infrastructure revenue, continuing to control costs to meet obligations and repay liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to realize revenues, there can be no assurances to that effect. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ANADIGICS, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has evaluated subsequent events and determined that, other than matters outlined in Note 14, there were no subsequent events to recognize or disclose in these consolidated financial statements. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates that affect the financial statements include, but are not limited to: allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability and valuation of inventories, impairment of property and equipment, warranty reserve, valuation of stock-based compensation, reserves for distributor arrangements and returns, useful lives and amortization periods and recoverability of long-lived assets. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company grants trade credit to its customers, who are primarily foreign manufacturers of wireless communication devices, cable and broadcast television receivers and fiber optic communication devices. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Sales and accounts receivable from customers are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has not experienced significant losses related to receivables from these individual customers. Net sales to individual customers and their affiliates who accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales and corresponding end application information are as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 2015 2014 2013 Customer (primary application) $ % $ % $ % Huawei Technologies (Infrastructure / Mobile) 12,077 21 % 18,718 22 % 15,731 12 % Richardson-RFPD (Infrastructure) 9,758 17 % <10 % <10 % <10 % <10 % Alltek Technologies (Infrastructure / Mobile) 7,314 12 % <10 % <10 % <10 % <10 % Samsung Electronics (Mobile) <10 % <10 % 22,479 26 % 54,187 40 % Murata (Mobile) <10 % <10 % <10 % <10 % 14,274 11 % Accounts receivable at December 31, 2015 and 2014 from the greater than 10% customers accounted for 41% and 66% of total accounts receivable, respectively. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue from product sales is recognized when title to the products is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the terms of the sales order. The Company sells to certain distributors who are granted limited contractual rights of return and exchange and certain pre-negotiated individual product-customer price protection. Revenue from sales of products to distributors is recognized, net of allowances, upon shipment of the products to the distributors. At the time of shipment, title transfers to the distributors and payment from the distributors is due on our standard commercial terms; payment terms are not contingent upon resale of the products. Revenue is appropriately reduced for the portion of shipments subject to return, exchange or price protection. Allowances for the distributors are recorded upon shipment and calculated based on the distributors’ indicated intent, historical data, current economic conditions and contractual terms. The Company believes it can reasonably and reliably estimate allowances for credits to distributors in a timely manner. The Company charges customers for the costs of certain contractually-committed inventories that remain at the end of a product's life. Such amounts are recognized as cancellation revenue when cash is received. The value of the inventory related to cancellation revenue may, in some instances, have been reserved during prior periods in accordance with the Company’s inventory obsolescence policy. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers' failure to make payments, based upon historical experience. WARRANTY COSTS The Company provides, by a current charge to income, an amount it estimates, by examining historical returns and other information it deems critical, will be needed to cover future warranty obligations for products sold during the year. The liability for warranty costs is included in Accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of plant, furniture and equipment has been provided on the straight-line method over 3-7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized and included in depreciation over the useful life of the leasehold or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Long-lived assets used in operations are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. Long-lived assets held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the income tax basis of such assets and liabilities. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a benefit or provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes in income tax expense. No unrecognized tax benefits, interest or penalties were accrued at December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company’s U.S. federal net operating losses have occurred since 1998 and as such, tax years subject to potential tax examination could apply from that date because carrying-back net operating loss opens the relevant year to audit. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS The Company charges all research and development costs associated with the development of new products to expense when incurred. CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid marketable securities with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. INVENTORY Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market ("LCM"), using the first-in, first-out method. The Company capitalizes production overhead costs to inventory on the basis of normal capacity of its production facility and in periods of abnormally low utilization charges the related expenses as a period cost in the statement of operations. In addition to LCM limitations, the Company reserves against inventory items for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory is primarily based upon forecasted short-term demand for the product. Once established, these write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess inventory. If actual demand and market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. In the event the Company sells inventory that had been covered by a specific inventory reserve, the sale is recorded at the actual selling price and the related cost of goods sold at the full inventory cost, net of the reserve. DEFERRED RENT Aggregate rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms of operating leases that contain predetermined increases in rentals payable during the lease term. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The financial statements of subsidiaries outside of the United States are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates. The resultant translation adjustments are included in other accumulated comprehensive income or loss. Income and expense items are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in the determination of net income or loss. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised resulting in the issuance of common stock of the Company. Any dilution arising from the Company's outstanding stock awards will not be included where their effect is anti-dilutive. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value of each of the following instruments approximates their carrying value because of the short maturity of these instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. See Note 4 for additional fair value disclosures. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has various stock-based compensation plans for employees and directors, which are described more fully in Note 10. The Company records stock compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to its employees and directors. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period which in most cases is the vesting period. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of an Entity, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. The ASU became effective January 1, 2015. Adoption of this guidance did not impact our consolidated financial statements. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory. The guidance was issued to simplify the measurement of inventory and changes the measurement from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The guidance states that a performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will replace most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The ASU permits the initial application to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment made at the date of initial application. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of the effective date of this standard to December 15, 2017 and early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the transition methods and the impact of the amended guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

During 2014, the Company implemented a strategic restructuring plan to better address growth opportunities in infrastructure markets and to lower operating costs. The strategy included expanding the Company’s presence in the infrastructure space and reducing fixed costs associated with certain legacy mobile activities through a resizing of staff and manufacturing capability. As a result, the Company implemented workforce reductions that eliminated approximately 150 positions throughout the Company resulting in restructuring charges of $4,199 for severance, related benefits and other costs. During 2015, as an extension of its strategic shift to Infrastructure and migration of its business model, the Company implemented a workforce reduction that eliminated approximately 25 positions throughout the Company and recorded restructuring charges of $611 for severance, related benefits and other costs. Activity and liability balances related to the restructurings were as follows: Workforce-related Lease-related Total December 31, 2013 balance $ 245 $ - $ 245 Restructuring expense 4,002 197 4,199 Payments (3,502 ) (38 ) (3,540 ) December 31, 2014 balance $ 745 $ 159 $ 904 Restructuring expense 611 - 611 Payments (1,356 ) (159 ) (1,515 ) December 31, 201 5 balance $ - $ - $ - As part of the strategic restructuring in 2014, the Company also reviewed and identified certain surplus manufacturing fixed assets and recorded a restructuring charge of $4,201 to write down certain assets to their current market value based on proceeds expected from their sale. During the second half of 2014, the Company subsequently recorded net proceeds of $3,256 on the sale of certain assets held for sale and offset their related $2,302 net gain against Restructuring charges. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded a $50 gain on the sale of an asset classified as held for sale, which was offset against Restructuring charges. The remaining assets previously held for sale were re-classified to fixed assets during the second quarter of 2015, as it was determined that such assets would not be sold in the near future. There was no impact to the results of operations as a result of this re-classification for any period presented. OTHER CHARGES During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $2,080 to Cost of sales for inventory write-downs on certain excess Mobile inventory.

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	3. SEGMENTS The Company has one reportable segment. Its ICs are primarily manufactured using common manufacturing facilities located in the same domestic geographic area. The method for determining what information to report is based on management’s use of financial information for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. All operating expenses and assets of the Company are combined and reviewed by the chief operating decision maker on an enterprise-wide basis, resulting in no additional discrete financial information or operating segment information. The Company’s business units share similar long term business models, research and development expenses and selling and administrative expenses. The Company has concluded at December 31, 2015 that it has only one reportable segment. The Company will re-assess its conclusions at least annually. The Company classifies its revenues based upon the end application of the product in which its ICs are used. Net sales by end application are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Infrastructure $ 42,176 $ 39,161 $ 36,199 Mobile 16,476 47,121 98,043 Total $ 58,652 $ 86,282 $ 134,242 The Company sells to five geographic regions: Asia, Europe, Latin America, USA and Other.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	4. FAIR VALUE Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Inputs used to measure fair value are classified in the following hierarchy: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has no financial instruments to be carried at fair value at December 31, 2015 and 2014. During the first half of 2014, our Level 2 former-auction corporate debt security and our Level 3 preferred equity action rate security (ARS) sold for $2,960 and $568, respectively, resulting in a realized gain of $1,728, which was recorded to Other (expense) income, net. During 2013, two Level 2 and one Level 3 ARS redeemed for $6,739, resulting in a realized gain of $1,684, which was recorded to Other (expense) income, net. The cost of securities sold was based upon the specific identification method.

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	8. INCOME TAXES There were no current and deferred components of income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013. Deferred tax assets require a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. Whereas realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the timing and magnitude of future taxable income prior to the expiration of the deferred tax attributes, management began recording a full valuation allowance in 2001. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could change if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are changed. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred taxes as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: December 31, 2015 2014 Deferred tax balances Accruals/reserves $ 4,975 $ 6,709 Net operating loss carryforwards 219,243 211,749 Research and experimentation credits 14,089 14,089 Deferred rent expense 197 400 Difference in basis of plant and equipment 9,103 9,445 Valuation allowance (247,607 ) (242,392 ) Net deferred tax assets - - As of December 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $640,297 for federal and $255,346 for state tax reporting purposes. The federal carryforward will begin to expire in 2019, and the state carryforwards have begun to expire. A portion of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization against taxable income in future periods due to the “change of ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. A portion of these carryforwards may expire before becoming available to reduce future income tax liabilities. At December 31, 2015, $25,149 of the deferred tax asset related to net operating loss carryforwards and an equivalent amount of deferred tax asset valuation allowance represented tax benefits associated with the exercise of non-qualified stock options and vesting of restricted stock deduction over book. Such benefit, when realized, will be credited to additional paid-in capital. Included within the Company’s net operating loss tax carryforwards at December 31, 2015, the Company has excess tax benefits, related to stock-based compensation of $9,021 which are not recorded as a deferred tax asset as the amounts would not have resulted in a reduction in current taxes payable until all other tax attributes currently available to the Company were utilized. The benefit of these deductions will be recorded to additional paid-in capital at the time the tax deduction results in a reduction of current taxes payable. The earnings associated with the Company’s investment in its foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently invested and no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes on those earnings or translation adjustments has been provided. The reconciliation of income tax expense computed at the U.S. federal statutory rate to the benefit from income taxes is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Tax at U.S. statutory rate $ (8,222 ) (35.0 )% $ (13,612 ) (35.0 )% $ (18,893 ) (35.0 )% Effect of permanent items 3 - 3 - 6 - State and foreign tax (benefit), net of federal tax effect - - (253 ) (0.6 ) (1,754 ) (3.2 ) Research and experimentation tax credits, net - - 325 0.8 (328 ) (0.6 ) Effect of tax rate change 3,404 14.5 15,183 * 39.0 - - Valuation allowance, net 5,215 22.2 (973 ) (2.5 ) 28,118 52.1 Worthless stock deduction - - - - (4,997 ) (9.3 ) Other (400 ) (1.7 ) (673 ) (1.7 ) (2,152 ) (4.0 ) (Benefit from) provision for income taxes $ - - % $ - - % $ - - % * Effect of state tax amendment N.J.S.A. 54:10A-6 which replaced a three-fraction allocation formula of the Corporation Business Tax allocation factor with a single sales fraction formula.

Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]	9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY On December 17, 1998, the Company adopted a Shareholders’ Rights Agreement dated as of December 17, 1998 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of November 30, 2000 and Amendment No. 2 dated as of October 2, 2008), by and between ANADIGICS, Inc. and Computershare, Inc., as the Rights agent (as amended, the “Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, rights were distributed as a dividend at the rate of one right for each share of ANADIGICS, Inc. common stock, par value $0.01 per share, held by stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 31, 1998. The rights were scheduled to expire on December 17, 2018, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged, pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement. On April 24, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to terminate the Rights Agreement by approving an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Rights Agreement to accelerate the final expiration date of the rights (the “Rights”) to April 25, 2014. As a result of the Amendment, as of the close of business on April 25, 2014, the Rights are no longer outstanding nor exercisable, and the Rights Agreement was effectively terminated. NASDAQ LISTING The Company’s common stock currently trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company transferred its common stock from the NASDAQ Global Market to the NASDAQ Capital Market effective December 17, 2015. On June 18, 2015, the Company received a letter from the staff of NASDAQ informing the Company that for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below $1.00, a requirement for listing on NASDAQ. The Company had until December 15, 2015 to regain compliance which would be satisfied if the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. By transferring its common stock listing from the NASDAQ Global Market to the NASDAQ Capital Market, the Company received an additional 180 calendar compliance days, or until June 13, 2016, to regain compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance by June 13, 2016, and the NASDAQ staff could deem that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the NASDAQ staff would notify the Company that its securities would then be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification the Company may appeal the NASDAQ staff’s determination to delist its securities. MERGER AGREEMENT On January 15, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger that was amended on February 1, 2016 and February 26, 2016 (as so amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with II-VI Incorporated, a Pennsylvania corporation (“II-VI”), and Regulus Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of II-VI (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Parent would acquire the Company for a purchase price of $0.85 per share pursuant to a tender offer by Purchaser that commenced on February 2, 2016 and expired on March 11, 2016, under which approximately 53% of the Company’s outstanding shares were tendered and purchased by Purchaser, and which will be followed by a merger of the Purchaser into the Company. As a result of that merger, the Company will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of II-VI. If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, the Purchaser will have acquired all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.85 per share and, after making the required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we would cease to be a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The boards of directors of the Company, II-VI and Purchaser approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the II-VI Merger Agreement. There can be no assurance that a transaction will be consummated or that II-VI will not propose any adjustments to the II-VI Merger Agreement.

Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans [Text Block]	10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company records stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to our employees and directors. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period which in most cases is the vesting period. EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has two active equity compensation plans under which equity securities are authorized for issuance to employees and/or directors and two plans (the 2005 Plan and 2005 ESPP Plan, described below) which have been terminated: ■ The 2015 Long-Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (2015 Plan, collectively with the 2005 Plan, the Plans); ■ The Amended and Restated (as of March 30, 2013) 2005 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (terminated April 6, 2015) (2005 Plan); ■ The 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (2016 ESP Plan, collectively with the 1995 ESP Plan, the ESP Plan); and ■ The 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (terminated December 31, 2015) (1995 ESP Plan). Employees and outside directors have been granted restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of common stock under the Plans. An aggregate 10,000 and 24,850 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan and 2005 Plan, respectively. The Plans provide for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other share based awards to eligible employees and directors, as defined in the Plans. Option grants have terms of 10 years and become exercisable in varying amounts over periods of up to three years. To date, no stock appreciation rights have been granted under the Plans. The Company adopted the ESP Plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. All full-time employees of ANADIGICS, Inc. and part-time employees, as defined in the ESP Plan, are eligible to participate in the ESP Plan. An aggregate of 5,000 shares and 6,694 shares of common stock were reserved for offering under the 2016 ESP Plan and 1995 ESP Plan, respectively. Offerings are made at the commencement of each calendar year and must be purchased by the end of that calendar year. Pursuant to the terms of the 1995 ESP Plan, shares purchased and the applicable per share price were 140 ($0.53), 158 ($0.66) and 271 ($1.64) for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense arises from the amortization of restricted stock units, unamortized stock option grants and from the ESP Plan. The Company uses the straight-line basis in calculating stock-based compensation expense. The table below summarizes stock-based compensation by source and by financial statement line item: For years ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Amortization of restricted stock units $ 3,148 $ 4,528 $ 6,239 Amortization of ESP Plan 54 44 149 Amortization of stock option awards 6 100 128 Total stock-based compensation $ 3,208 $ 4,672 $ 6,516 By Financial Statement line item Cost of sales $ 668 $ 861 $ 1,041 Research and development expenses 1,339 1,744 2,118 Selling and administrative expenses 1,201 2,067 3,428 Restructuring charges - - (71 ) No tax benefits have been recorded due to the Company’s full valuation allowance position. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS Under the Plans, the Company grants restricted stock units to its employees. The value of restricted stock units are fixed upon the date of grant and amortized over the related vesting period, primarily ranging up to three years. Restricted stock units are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. The Company estimates that approximately 2.5% of its restricted stock units and stock option awards are forfeited annually (exclusive of performance-based restricted stock units and performance-based option shares, as described below). Restricted stock units do not carry voting, forfeitable dividend rights, and cannot be traded or transferred prior to vesting. Grant, vest and forfeit activity and related weighted average (WA) price per share for restricted stock units and for stock options during the period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015 is presented in tabular form below: . Restricted Stock Units Stock Options Time-based Performance-based Time-based Units WA price/ unit Units WA price/ unit Issuable upon exercise WA exercise price Outstanding at January 1 , 201 5 2,790 $ 1.58 314 $ 1.87 1,219 $ 4.82 Granted 2,523 1.02 264 1.05 19 0.76 Shares vested/options exercised (2,743 ) 1.36 (37 ) 1.99 - - Forfeited/expired (300 ) 1.38 (154 ) 1.68 (291 ) 5.53 Balance at December 31, 201 5 2,270 $ 1.24 387 $ 1.38 947 $ 4.52 As of December 31, 2015, the weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding and exercisable options was 3.3 and 3.1 years, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the weighted average remaining vest period for outstanding restricted stock was 1.6 years. Exercisable stock options and their related weighted average exercise prices were 926 ($4.60) as of December 31, 2015. The intrinsic value of exercised options during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $0, $1, and $14, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable stock options as of December 31, 2015 was $3 and $0, respectively. In February 2015, the Company awarded 264 restricted stock units to its officers and other key employees which have market performance-based vesting conditions contingent upon the Company’s relative shareholder returns measured against defined peer group companies. The market performance-based awards will be evaluated annually in one-third increments measuring Company shareholder returns during the one, two and three year periods following the award. Company performance within the top 75th percentile tier in a measurement period would result in maximum performance attainment, while performance below the 25th-percentile results in no vesting for that period. These market performance-based restricted stock units have an average fair value of $1.05 calculated using a Monte Carlo Simulation model on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2015, these market performance-based awards were evaluated for their year one performance period, with a 65% performance achievement. As a result, 31 units forfeited, 57 units are scheduled to vest March 2016, and the remaining 176 units pending their year two and year three performance evaluation. The total fair value of restricted stock vested during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $2,184, $3,171 and $3,052, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, there was $1,698 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock awards. Stock options outstanding at December 31, 2015 are summarized as follows: Range of exercise prices Outstanding Options at December 31, 2015 Weighted average remaining contractual life Weighted average exercise price Exercisable at December 31, 2015 Weighted average exercise price $0.22 - $1.93 369 3.3 $ 1.87 348 $ 1.93 $2.00 - $3.24 258 5.5 $ 3.22 258 $ 3.22 $3.65 - $8.79 58 3.3 $ 6.12 58 $ 6.12 $8.84 - $18.98 262 0.9 $ 9.19 262 $ 9.19 VALUATION FOR ESP PLAN AND STOCK OPTION AWARDS The fair value of these equity awards was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average assumptions and fair values for stock-based compensation grants used for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are summarized below. Year ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Stock option awards: Risk-free interest rate 1.3 % 1.7 % 0.8 % Expected volatility 63 % 58 % 72 % Average expected term (in years) 5 5 5 Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % 0 % Weighted average fair value of options granted $ 0.41 $ 0.97 $ 1.36 ESP Plan: Risk-free interest rate 0.7 % 0.3 % 0.1 % Expected volatility 126 % 72 % 51 % Average expected term 1 1 1 Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % 0 % Weighted average fair value of purchase option $ 0.39 $ 0.28 $ 0.55 Restricted Stock Units: Weighted average grant date value, time-based $ 1.02 $ 1.48 $ 2.12 Weighted average grant date value, performance-based $ 1.05 $ 1.84 $ 2.02 The Company regularly assesses the assumptions used in its option valuation. For equity awards with an expected term of one year or less, the assumption for expected volatility is solely based on the Company’s historical volatility. For equity awards with expected terms of greater than one year, the Company used a combination of implied and historical volatility for options granted in the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. The expected term of the stock options is based on historical observations of employee exercise patterns combined with expectations of employee exercise behavior in the future giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards. The risk free interest rate assumption has consistently been based on the yield at the time of grant of a U.S. Treasury security with an equivalent remaining term. The Company has never paid cash dividends and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends and has consistently assumed a 0% dividend yield. The Company also sponsors an Employee Savings and Protection Plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code which is available to all full-time employees. Employees can make voluntary contributions up to limitations prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company previously matched 30% of employee contributions up to 10% of their gross pay; however, as a cost reduction during the second quarter of 2014, the Company discontinued matching 401(k) contributions. The Company recorded expense relating to plan contributions of $0, $220, and $829 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On January 26, 2016, an Anadigics shareholder named Wes Zalewski (the "Plaintiff") filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey (Chancery Division, Somerset County), captioned Zalewski v. Anadigics, Inc., et al., No. C-12005-16 (the "New Jersey State Court Action") alleging breach of fiduciary duty on the part of Anadigics's directors and aiding and abetting of the alleged breach by defendants Anadigics, II-VI Incorporated and Regulus Acquisition Sub., Inc. (the latter two of which are referred to jointly hereinafter as "II-IV") in connection with the then proposed merger between Anadigics and II-VI at a per-share offer price of $0.66, as described in their January 15, 2016 merger agreement (the "January 15, 2016 II-VI Merger Agreement"). On February 4, 2016, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint in the New Jersey State Court Action. On February 8, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion for expedited discovery in the New Jersey State Court Action ("Plaintiff's Discovery Motion") and Anadigics and the Anadigics directors (collectively, the "Anadigics Defendants") moved for an order declaring that Plaintiff was not permitted to prosecute the New Jersey State Court Action in light of an Anadigics by-law that designates the exclusive forum for such claims a state or federal court located in the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Forum By-Law Motion"). Instead of ruling on Plaintiff's Discovery Motion or the Delaware Forum By-Law Motion, the New Jersey Superior Court scheduled a conference for February 24, 2016. On February 23, 2016, II-VI removed the New Jersey State Court Action to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the "New Jersey Federal Court") pursuant to the Class Action Fairness Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(2). There, the case was assigned Civil Action No. 3:16-cv-01019-MAS-TJB. On February 24, 2016, Plaintiff filed a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order with the New Jersey Federal Court (the "TRO Motion") seeking to enjoin II-VI's then pending tender offer for Anadigics's stock. On February 26, 2016, the last day of the publicly-announced auction process that the Anadigics Board of Directors had been conducting since November 12, 2015 (the day after Anadigics had executed a merger agreement with a bidder at a per-share offer price of $0.35), Anadigics executed an amended merger agreement with II-VI (the "February 26, 2016 II-VI Merger Agreement") at a per-share offer price of $0.85. On March 2, 2016, the Anadigics Defendants filed a brief and a supporting affidavit in opposition to Plaintiff's TRO Motion. On that same date, II-VI filed a brief in opposition to Plaintiff's TRO Motion. Also on March 2, 2016, Plaintiff filed a brief in opposition to the Delaware Forum By-Law Motion. On March 3, 2016, Plaintiff's counsel notified respective counsel for the defendants that Plaintiff had decided to withdraw his pending TRO Motion, withdraw his opposition to the Delaware Forum By-Law Motion, and consent to the transfer of the action to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the "Delaware Federal Court"). Plaintiff's counsel also indicated Plaintiff intended to seek a so-called "mootness fee" based on the disclosure made by Anadigics in Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company on February 29, 2016. On March 4, 2016, the parties submitted to the New Jersey Federal Court a Stipulation and Proposed Order that, among other things, memorialized the concessions made by Plaintiff on March 3, 2016, including Plaintiff's agreement to forgo seeking to enjoin the merger transaction contemplated in the February 26, 2016 II-VI Merger Agreement or the tender offer in connection therewith. The New Jersey Federal Court adopted and entered the Stipulation and Order on March 4, 2016 and transferred the action to the Delaware Federal Court, where it has been currently assigned Civil Action No. 16-cv-136 (UNA). Pursuant to the March 4, 2016 Order, defendants have until April 15, 2016 to respond to Plaintiff's Amended Complaint. Because the aforementioned litigation, which is in a preliminary stage, does not specify alleged monetary damages, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate any possible range of loss, if any, to the Company in connection therewith. The Company is also a party to ordinary course litigation arising out of the operation of our business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of such ordinary course litigation should not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Subsequent Events [Text Block]	14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On January 15, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger that was amended on February 1, 2016 and February 26, 2016 (as so amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with II-VI Incorporated, a Pennsylvania corporation (“II-VI”), and Regulus Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of II-VI (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Parent would acquire the Company for a purchase price of $0.85 per share pursuant to a tender offer by Purchaser that commenced on February 2, 2016 and expired on March 11, 2016, under which approximately 53% of the Company’s outstanding shares were tendered and purchased by Purchaser, and which will be followed by a merger of the Purchaser into the Company. As a result of that merger, the Company will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of II-VI. If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, the Purchaser will have acquired all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.85 per share and, after making the required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we would cease to be a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The boards of directors of the Company, II-VI and Purchaser approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the II-VI Merger Agreement. There can be no assurance that a transaction will be consummated or that II-VI will not propose any adjustments to the II-VI Merger Agreement. In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company’s existing equity compensation plans discussed in Note 10 will be terminated. On February 26, 2016, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Parent (the “II-VI Loan Agreement”). The II-VI Loan Agreement provides the Company with a one-year credit facility of $10,000 that expires on February 26, 2017, unless the maturity is accelerated due to the closing of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement in a circumstance that requires payment of the Termination Fee. The II-VI Loan Agreement enables initial borrowings of $3,500 and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The II-VI Loan Agreement requires compliance with certain covenants, in addition to certain capital expenditure limits. The interest rate on the outstanding balance under the II-VI Loan Agreement is 95% of the sum of (a) the Prime Rate plus (b) 0.5%. On February 29, 2016, in conjunction with its entry into the II-VI Loan Agreement, the Company and Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) terminated the Loan and Security Agreement dated October 24, 2014 between the Company and SVB by mutual agreement and all outstanding amounts due under the SVB Loan and Security Agreement were satisfied in full.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION ANADIGICS, Inc. (the “Company”) is an innovator in technology, design, and manufacturing of RF semiconductor solutions for infrastructure and mobile communications and data transmission markets. The Company’s product portfolio includes line amplifiers, reverse path amplifiers, PAs, and FEICs. CATV products provide the critical link within CATV infrastructure communications networks, as well as CPE devices, such as set-top boxes and cable modems. WiFi infrastructure products enable wireless connectivity for infrastructure and multimedia applications, including access points, routers, media gateways, and set-top boxes. Wireless infrastructure products are components in 3G and 4G Small-Cell base stations, including picocells, enterprise-class femtocells, and CPE devices that help carriers expand broadband network coverage and support greater levels of data transmission. Cellular infrastructure products are also used in 3G and 4G IoT applications, including automotive, M2M, and industrial devices. WiFi mobile products are designed to enable WiFi connectivity in smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and portable gaming systems. Cellular mobile products enable 3G and 4G wireless connectivity in mobile handsets, smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. Our Foundry offering provides capacity for large-scale VCSEL wafer processing and testing. The Company designs, develops, and manufactures RFIC’s primarily using GaAs compound semiconductor substrates with various process technologies, including MESFET, pHEMT and HBT. The Company’s patented InGaP- Plus On January 15, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger that was amended on February 1, 2016 and February 26, 2016 (as so amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with II-VI Incorporated, a Pennsylvania corporation (“II-VI”), and Regulus Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of II-VI (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Parent would acquire the Company for a purchase price of $0.85 per share pursuant to a tender offer by Purchaser that commenced on February 2, 2016 and expired on March 11, 2016, under which approximately 53% of the Company’s outstanding shares were tendered and purchased by Purchaser, and which will be followed by a merger of the Purchaser into the Company. As a result of that merger, the Company will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of II-VI. If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, the Purchaser will have acquired all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.85 per share and, after making the required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we would cease to be a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The boards of directors of the Company, II-VI and Purchaser approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the II-VI Merger Agreement. There can be no assurance that a transaction will be consummated or that II-VI will not propose any adjustments to the II-VI Merger Agreement. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has historically operated at a loss and has not consistently generated sufficient cash flows from operations to cover its operating and other cash expenses. In mid-2014, the Company implemented a strategic restructuring plan (Note 2) that the Company believed would place increased emphasis on infrastructure markets, lower operating costs and position the business for improved operating results. However, unexpected declines in revenues resulted in an increase in operating losses. Therefore, the delayed improvement in infrastructure revenue is forecasted to result in operating losses into 2016, larger than those foreseen under the strategic restructuring plan and a continued deterioration in the Company’s liquidity position. Additionally, the Company did not maintain compliance with certain covenants under its revolving credit facility (Note 12). These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. During 2015, the Company explored potential avenues for raising capital through debt or equity, but the limited options that were available would have required the Company to accept unfavorable terms that were costly and highly dilutive to the Company's stockholders. The Company's operating losses, declining cash balance and corresponding need for funding were among the key reasons that the Company's Board of Directors decided to explore the possible sale of the Company in conjunction with its plans to overcome these difficulties. As discussed in the paragraph above, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with II-VI. In conjunction with the Merger Agreement, the Company was able to obtain a loan from II-VI to address the Company's deteriorating liquidity position (see Note 14). There can be no assurance that a transaction will be consummated or that II-VI will not propose any adjustments to the Merger Agreement. The Company will continue to aggressively pursue available sales opportunities, work with distributors and end users to grow future sales, and continue to control costs. However, even after giving consideration to the loan provided by II-VI, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management believes the ability to continue as a going concern through January 1, 2017 is dependent upon increasing infrastructure revenue, continuing to control costs to meet obligations and repay liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to realize revenues, there can be no assurances to that effect. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ANADIGICS, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has evaluated subsequent events and determined that, other than matters outlined in Note 14, there were no subsequent events to recognize or disclose in these consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates that affect the financial statements include, but are not limited to: allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability and valuation of inventories, impairment of property and equipment, warranty reserve, valuation of stock-based compensation, reserves for distributor arrangements and returns, useful lives and amortization periods and recoverability of long-lived assets.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]	CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company grants trade credit to its customers, who are primarily foreign manufacturers of wireless communication devices, cable and broadcast television receivers and fiber optic communication devices. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Sales and accounts receivable from customers are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has not experienced significant losses related to receivables from these individual customers. Net sales to individual customers and their affiliates who accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales and corresponding end application information are as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 2015 2014 2013 Customer (primary application) $ % $ % $ % Huawei Technologies (Infrastructure / Mobile) 12,077 21 % 18,718 22 % 15,731 12 % Richardson-RFPD (Infrastructure) 9,758 17 % <10 % <10 % <10 % <10 % Alltek Technologies (Infrastructure / Mobile) 7,314 12 % <10 % <10 % <10 % <10 % Samsung Electronics (Mobile) <10 % <10 % 22,479 26 % 54,187 40 % Murata (Mobile) <10 % <10 % <10 % <10 % 14,274 11 % Accounts receivable at December 31, 2015 and 2014 from the greater than 10% customers accounted for 41% and 66% of total accounts receivable, respectively.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue from product sales is recognized when title to the products is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the terms of the sales order. The Company sells to certain distributors who are granted limited contractual rights of return and exchange and certain pre-negotiated individual product-customer price protection. Revenue from sales of products to distributors is recognized, net of allowances, upon shipment of the products to the distributors. At the time of shipment, title transfers to the distributors and payment from the distributors is due on our standard commercial terms; payment terms are not contingent upon resale of the products. Revenue is appropriately reduced for the portion of shipments subject to return, exchange or price protection. Allowances for the distributors are recorded upon shipment and calculated based on the distributors’ indicated intent, historical data, current economic conditions and contractual terms. The Company believes it can reasonably and reliably estimate allowances for credits to distributors in a timely manner. The Company charges customers for the costs of certain contractually-committed inventories that remain at the end of a product's life. Such amounts are recognized as cancellation revenue when cash is received. The value of the inventory related to cancellation revenue may, in some instances, have been reserved during prior periods in accordance with the Company’s inventory obsolescence policy.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts [Policy Text Block]	ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers' failure to make payments, based upon historical experience.
Standard Product Warranty, Policy [Policy Text Block]	WARRANTY COSTS The Company provides, by a current charge to income, an amount it estimates, by examining historical returns and other information it deems critical, will be needed to cover future warranty obligations for products sold during the year. The liability for warranty costs is included in Accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of plant, furniture and equipment has been provided on the straight-line method over 3-7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized and included in depreciation over the useful life of the leasehold or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Long-lived assets used in operations are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. Long-lived assets held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the income tax basis of such assets and liabilities. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a benefit or provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes in income tax expense. No unrecognized tax benefits, interest or penalties were accrued at December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company’s U.S. federal net operating losses have occurred since 1998 and as such, tax years subject to potential tax examination could apply from that date because carrying-back net operating loss opens the relevant year to audit.
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS The Company charges all research and development costs associated with the development of new products to expense when incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid marketable securities with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	INVENTORY Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market ("LCM"), using the first-in, first-out method. The Company capitalizes production overhead costs to inventory on the basis of normal capacity of its production facility and in periods of abnormally low utilization charges the related expenses as a period cost in the statement of operations. In addition to LCM limitations, the Company reserves against inventory items for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory is primarily based upon forecasted short-term demand for the product. Once established, these write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess inventory. If actual demand and market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. In the event the Company sells inventory that had been covered by a specific inventory reserve, the sale is recorded at the actual selling price and the related cost of goods sold at the full inventory cost, net of the reserve.
Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]	DEFERRED RENT Aggregate rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms of operating leases that contain predetermined increases in rentals payable during the lease term.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The financial statements of subsidiaries outside of the United States are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates. The resultant translation adjustments are included in other accumulated comprehensive income or loss. Income and expense items are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in the determination of net income or loss.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised resulting in the issuance of common stock of the Company. Any dilution arising from the Company's outstanding stock awards will not be included where their effect is anti-dilutive.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value of each of the following instruments approximates their carrying value because of the short maturity of these instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. See Note 4 for additional fair value disclosures.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has various stock-based compensation plans for employees and directors, which are described more fully in Note 10. The Company records stock compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to its employees and directors. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period which in most cases is the vesting period.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of an Entity, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. The ASU became effective January 1, 2015. Adoption of this guidance did not impact our consolidated financial statements. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory. The guidance was issued to simplify the measurement of inventory and changes the measurement from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The guidance states that a performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will replace most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The ASU permits the initial application to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment made at the date of initial application. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of the effective date of this standard to December 15, 2017 and early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the transition methods and the impact of the amended guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
