TipWhy This Matters

The volume counterweight to OmniVision/SmartSens in domestic CIS — top-4 by unit shipments globally, 1.45 billion CIS units in 2025 — and a live experiment in whether a Chinese design house can run its own 12-inch specialty fab: FY2025 revenue ¥77.82亿 (+21.9%) but net profit collapsed to ¥0.51亿 as the Lingang line absorbed depreciation; a ≤¥42亿 placement for 12-inch CIS capacity expansion was pre-announced 18 September 2026 (exchange acceptance/CSRC registration still pending as of 11 October). H1 2026: revenue ¥41.53亿 (+14.2%), net ¥7.3 million (扣非 -¥31 million), with the Lingang fab running at full capacity and fully converted to the 50MP platform — cumulative 50MP shipments passed 100 million units — and the first domestically-made 12-inch LOFIC automotive sensor (3MP GC3903, 140dB) fabbed in-house in June.

What does this firm design?

Smartphone/IoT automotive CIS and LCD/OLED display driver ICs, increasingly on its own 300mm line.
