It has been striving to deepen its cooperation with TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd* (TCL華星光電技術有限公司, together with its subsidiaries, "TCL CSOT") to develop various customised products, including a number of high-end full-screen module products, such as slim bezel modules, high-frame rate screens and 5G. During the Review Period, the Group's full-screen products accounted for approximately 90% of the overall sales volume and the proportion of the sales volume of LTPS products increased from 64% for the same period last year to 87%.

In order to fully optimise production line efficiency and enhance management innovation and decision-making capabilities, the Group has gradually developed its smart factories. The production line renovation in Huizhou has been completed during the Review Period. The Group's overall production capacity for smartphone increased by 38.7% year-on-year. Concurrently, the Group has actively expanded the production line of medium-sized display modules in line with the direction of industry developments. The Group has also capitalised on high-growth market segments such as smart home, high-end laptop, electronic education and automotive to capture the development opportunity in these markets. The shipment volume of smart home-related products in the full year reached 4.5 million units, representing a year-on-year increase of 837%. In the automotive segment, the Group has launched interactive touch automotive display modules with slim bezel in small batches.

Looking ahead, the management of Ch Display Opt said, "Given the country and the world are in a state of high alert to combat and control the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the Group has adopted a series of measures to prevent and control the epidemic. At the same time, the Group has actively negotiated with strategic suppliers and logistics partners to find suitable solutions to reduce related risks. The Group will fully leverage its own advantages in order to reinforce its partnership with first-tier brand customers. In addition, the Group will continue to pay close attention to the medium-sized display markets to further expand its market share horizontally.
