2、 Summary of the main questions exchanged and the company's reply

1. What are the competitive advantages of the company's on-board CIS compared with other suppliers? How about the introduction of customers? The company has invested in research and development in the on-board field for more than 16 years, and the products cover the range from VGA to 8 million pixels, which can meet the expansion of product application fields from traditional reversing radar image and tachograph to electronic rear-view mirror, 360 degree panoramic imaging, advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) Driver monitoring (DMS) and other fields. The products sold by the company are more complete than those of its friends, especially the products with a large market share in the range of 1.3 million to 3 million pixels in recent years. As a leading chip design company in China, the company has close cooperation with the world's mainstream wafer factories. The company has sufficient capacity to meet the demand of the company's share growth.

The company's product quality has been recognized by many automobile brands outside China. The company has deep cooperation with foreign manufacturers in China, and has obtained scheme introduction in many model schemes. In the past two years, based on the cooperation of the original mainstream automobile brands in Europe and America, the company has introduced a large number of schemes into Chinese traditional automobile brands and new forces in automobile manufacturing, which will also bring new revenue and profit growth points to the company. At the same time, the company also has a breakthrough in the introduction of schemes in car enterprises such as Japan and South Korea.

The company's on-board CIS will usher in the opportunity of both volume and price.

The company has a product quality system and R & D strength recognized by global automobile brands. Focusing on the automobile market, in addition to image sensors, the company has continued to increase R & D investment in MCU, LVDS, LCOS, power IC, MOS, drive and other fields. It will gradually enter the automobile market in recent one or two years to provide customers with overall solutions. Under the trend of automobile electronization and intellectualization, the company will usher in huge business opportunities.

3. What is the business layout of AR / VR

The company's CMOS image sensor, cameracubechip, LCOS, touch chip, power IC and other products have been used in the AR / VR field, and the value provided by a single machine continues to increase. CMOS image sensor is one of the core chips to realize the application scenarios in the AR / VR field. The company's profound product and technology accumulation has been widely recognized in the industry. The company's industry-leading BSI global shutter and other technologies will provide customers with high-quality eye tracking, facial expression recognition and other solutions to help ar / VR head display equipment customers develop more functions High performance product solutions.

4. Whether the company's image sensors are mainly aimed at high-end models to make high-pixel products in the range of low-end, middle-end and high-end mobile phone shipments in the future
