In addition, in view of the incentive issue of core talents that the market is worried about, this incentive program has achieved sufficient incentives in terms of incentive intensity and coverage, including four optical technology / business core backbones, including four vice presidents of optics.

The core talents sharing the company's operating results with the help of the equity incentive plan will further enhance team cohesion and work together to help the company's optical business continue to expand and grow.

The profit of the optical business has increased, consolidating the core position in the field of ADAS cameras: the company continues to expand its market competitiveness and share in products such as in-car cameras and high-definition wide-angle lenses.
