Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
In the past few years, Optimax Technology Corporation has experienced the severe economic environment and financial restructuring. With its strong operating resilience, the company has successfully completed the transformation and returned to stable operations from the difficult bailout stage. Since 2023, the company has actively adjusted its product structure and successfully transformed into a professional automotive polarizing plate supplier.
Although in 2025, it faced exchange losses caused by the sharp appreciation of the New Taiwan dollar in the second quarter, which caused the operating net profit to fluctuate compared with the previous year, the profitability of its core business - automotive products remained stable. At the same time, we strictly implement expense control and continue to repay bank borrowings normally to optimize our financial structure. In the future, we will delve deeply into in-vehicle systems, actively expand into niche markets such as VR/AR, and seek cross-field innovation opportunities to create long-term and stable value for shareholders.

| 3. Describe the financial impact of extreme weather events and transformative actions. | Impacts of Extreme Climate Events Based on the identification of climate-related risks, the Company has identified extreme weather events (such as typhoons, heavy rainfall, and high temperatures) as key factors that may impact its operations. From a physical risk perspective, extreme climate events may lead to temporary shutdowns of operational sites, equipment damage, or reduced production efficiency, thereby affecting product delivery schedules and revenue performance. In addition, supply chain disruptions may result in unstable raw material supply or increased costs. Furthermore, high temperatures or abnormal climate conditions may increase demand for air conditioning and electricity consumption, leading to higher energy usage and, consequently, increased operating costs. The Company has incorporated the above climate-related physical risks into its overall risk management framework and mitigates potential impacts through operational management and response measures, thereby enhancing overall operational resilience. |
| Impacts of Transition Actions From a transition risk perspective, as the low-carbon economy develops and climate-related policies continue to evolve, the Company may face impacts from carbon pricing mechanisms, regulatory requirements, and increasing customer demand for sustainability. These transition actions may lead to increased operating costs and capital expenditures. For example, the adoption of energy-efficient equipment, process optimization, and enhanced energy management measures all require corresponding investments. In addition, to meet customer expectations regarding product carbon footprint and sustainability, the Company may incur additional costs related to product design and process adjustments. On the other hand, by promoting energy-saving and carbon reduction measures and improving energy efficiency, the Company can reduce long-term energy costs and enhance operational efficiency. Moreover, as market demand for low-carbon products and sustainability continues to grow, these efforts are expected to strengthen product competitiveness and create new market opportunities. Overall, the financial impact of the Company's climate transition actions is expected to result in increased cost inputs in the short term, while in the long term, it will help reduce operational risks and enhance corporate competitiveness. | |
| 4. Describe how climate risk identification, assessment, and management processes are integrated into the overall risk management system. | Integration of Climate-Related Risk Management The Company has progressively integrated the identification, assessment, and management processes of climate-related risks into its overall risk management framework. The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the overall risk management system, while the Chairman's Office coordinates the direction of sustainability-related management. The Company has established a "Risk Management Procedure" as the foundation for its risk management practices. This document clearly defines the processes for risk identification, assessment, response, and monitoring. Climate-related risks have been incorporated into this framework and are managed alongside other categories of risk, including operational, compliance, and strategic risks. In practice, the identification and assessment of climate-related risks are conducted through the ESG Working Group, which integrates information from various departments. These risks are then incorporated into the Company's existing risk classification structure in accordance with the principles outlined in the Risk Management Procedure, ensuring that climate-related risks are evaluated and managed together with other significant risks. Based on the results of risk identification, the responsible units develop corresponding response measures. These are consolidated and monitored by the ESG Working Group and, when necessary, reported to management for discussion and decision-making, ensuring that climate-related risks are fully incorporated into the Company's overall operational decision-making process. In addition, the Company regularly reviews developments in climate-related regulations, industry trends, and internal risk assessment results. It adopts a rolling approach to adjust its risk management practices, thereby progressively strengthening the integration of climate risk management with the overall risk management framework. |

| 5. If scenario analysis is used to assess resilience to climate change risks, the scenarios, parameters, assumptions, analysis factors, and key financial impacts used should be explained. | Climate Scenario Analysis In the process of identifying climate-related risks and opportunities, the Company has referenced internationally recognized climate scenarios, including the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE) published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and scenarios from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), as a basis for assessing climate change trends and industry development directions. Given that the Company's climate-related data infrastructure and analytical models are still under development, a qualitative scenario analysis approach is currently adopted. The Company also references the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) presented in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) to evaluate potential impacts on operations and financial performance under different climate scenarios. The Company primarily considers the following two representative scenarios: 1. Moderate Emissions Scenario (SSP2-4.5) This scenario assumes that global climate policies are progressively implemented, with gradually strengthening carbon pricing and regulatory requirements, requiring enterprises to continuously address transition pressures. 2. Very High Emissions Scenario (SSP5-8.5) This scenario assumes insufficient global mitigation efforts, resulting in continued intensification of climate change and significantly increased physical risks, such as extreme weather events. Financial Impacts of Transition Risks Under the SSP2-4.5 scenario, the Company faces policy and market-driven transition pressures, which may gradually increase operating costs and capital expenditures. These include investments in energy-efficient equipment, process optimization, and energy transition initiatives. At the same time, such actions are expected to enhance product competitiveness and create additional market opportunities. Under the SSP5-8.5 scenario, transition pressures are relatively lower; however, due to delayed global decarbonization progress, the Company may face increased policy uncertainty risks in the future. Overall, transition actions may increase costs in the short term, but are expected to reduce operational risks and strengthen market competitiveness in the long term. Financial Impacts of Physical Risks Under both scenarios, the frequency and severity of extreme climate events are expected to increase. However, under the SSP5-8.5 scenario, the impacts are significantly more severe and may result in operational disruptions, equipment damage, or reduced production efficiency, thereby affecting revenue and cost structures. The Company has implemented operational management and risk response measures to mitigate the impact of such risks on its operations. Overall Assessment Overall, under different climate scenarios, climate-related risks and opportunities may have varying degrees of impact on the Company's operating costs, capital expenditures, and market competitiveness. Looking ahead, the Company will continue to strengthen its climate-related data collection and analytical capabilities, and gradually enhance the quantification of scenario analysis to improve the completeness of climate risk management and financial impact assessment. |
| 6. If there is a transition plan for managing climate-related risks, describe the content of the plan, and the indicators and targets used to identify and manage physical risks and transition risks. | Transition Plan To address climate-related risks and move toward the goal of achieving net-zero emissions in its own operations by 2050, the Company is progressively planning and implementing low-carbon transition actions. These efforts focus primarily on reducing emissions from its own operations, guided by the principle of “reduction first, offsetting second.” In terms of carbon reduction strategy, the Company prioritizes identifying and improving major emission sources within its operations. It seeks to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through measures such as process optimization, enhanced energy efficiency, and improved resource utilization. At the same time, the Company evaluates the feasibility of adopting renewable energy and gradually increases the proportion of low-carbon energy use. For emissions that cannot be avoided, the Company will, after implementing reduction measures, assess the feasibility of carbon offset mechanisms or relevant negative-emission technologies as supplementary approaches to achieve its long-term net-zero target. Metrics and Targets for Identifying and Managing Physical and Transition Risks The Company uses indicators and targets primarily related to GHG emissions and energy management to identify and manage climate-related risks, in |
| Item | Implementation status |
|---|---|
| conjunction with risk assessment results: 1. Transition Risks In response to transition risks such as carbon pricing and regulatory requirements, increasing customer sustainability expectations, and the need for process and equipment transformation, the Company uses GHG emission intensity and total emissions as key management indicators. It has established a medium-term target to reduce emission intensity by 20% by 2030 compared to the baseline year, and a long-term target to achieve net-zero emissions in its own operations by 2050, in alignment with low-carbon transition trends. 2. Physical Risks To address operational risks arising from extreme climate events, the Company manages these risks through operational controls and emergency response mechanisms. It also continuously monitors indicators related to energy usage and operational stability to minimize the impact of climate change on its operations. 3. Climate-Related Opportunities The Company also seeks to capture climate-related opportunities by implementing energy-saving and carbon reduction measures, adopting renewable energy, and optimizing production processes. These actions improve energy and resource efficiency, enabling the Company to enhance overall operational competitiveness while responding to the low-carbon transition. | |
| 7. If internal carbon pricing is used as a planning tool, the basis for setting the price should be stated. | The Company has not yet adopted internal carbon pricing as a tool for climate-related risk management or decision-making. Considering its current scale of operations, management maturity, and internal resource allocation, the Company's climate-related management at this stage primarily focuses on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions control, energy efficiency improvement, and the implementation of carbon reduction initiatives. Internal carbon pricing has not yet been introduced as a basis for investment evaluation or decision-making. In addition, the Company follows the direction of Taiwan's climate policy and adopts the principle of “prioritizing emissions reduction, with offsetting as a supplementary measure” in its GHG management approach. Through substantive carbon reduction actions, the Company aims to reduce emissions and prepare for potential future carbon pricing mechanisms. Looking ahead, the Company will continue to monitor developments in domestic and international carbon pricing mechanisms and relevant regulatory requirements. Depending on business needs and the maturity of its management systems, the Company will evaluate the feasibility of introducing an internal carbon pricing mechanism as a supporting tool for climate-related decision-making. |
| 8. If climate-related targets have been set, the activities covered, the scope of greenhouse gas emissions, the planning horizon, and the progress achieved each year should be specified. If carbon credits or renewable energy certificates (RECs) are used to achieve relevant targets, the source and quantity of carbon credits or RECs to be offset should be specified. | The Company has established climate-related targets, using its own operations as the management boundary, covering Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. Based on its operational characteristics, emissions intensity has been adopted as the primary management indicator. In terms of target planning, the Company has set 2024 (Minguo Year 113) as the base year and established mid- to long-term greenhouse gas reduction targets. It aims to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions intensity per unit of product by 20% by 2030 (Minguo Year 119) compared to the base year, and to achieve net-zero emissions in its own operations by 2050 (Minguo Year 139) as a long-term goal. Regarding the scope of target coverage, the focus is primarily on the Company's own operational activities, including energy use in production processes and related emission sources. In the future, the Company will gradually expand the management boundary based on the completion of greenhouse gas inventories by its subsidiaries. In terms of progress toward target achievement, the Company's total greenhouse gas emissions in 2025 (Minguo Year 114) slightly increased compared to the base year, mainly due to business expansion. However, based on the emissions intensity indicator, emissions per thousand units decreased from 7.45 to 6.57 tCO2e/1000 m2, representing a reduction of approximately 11.8%, indicating that carbon reduction measures have been effective. At present, the Company has not adopted carbon offsets or Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) as primary tools to achieve its carbon reduction targets. The current priority is to enhance energy efficiency and implement substantive emission reduction measures. The feasibility of related mechanisms will be evaluated in the future based on operational needs and external developments. |

1-2 Greenhouse gas reduction goals, strategies and specific action plans
| Describe the greenhouse gas reduction base year and its data, reduction targets, strategies, specific action plans and achievement of reduction targets. |
|---|
| Greenhouse Gas Reduction Base Year and Reduction Targets To develop an effective greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction strategy, the Company completed its GHG inventory for Year 2024 (ROC Year 113) and has designated this year as the baseline for GHG reduction. According to the inventory results, total GHG emissions from the Company's own operations (Scope 1 and Scope 2) amounted to 12,375.0755 tCO2e in 2024. The Company has established mid- to long-term GHG reduction targets, using its own operations as the management boundary. Taking into account future capacity expansion and business growth, the Company adopts emission intensity as the primary management metric to more accurately reflect improvements in operational efficiency. The Company aims to reduce GHG emission intensity per unit of production by 20% by 2030 (ROC Year 119) compared to the baseline year. It will continue to enhance carbon reduction performance through process optimization and energy management. Ultimately, the Company targets achieving net-zero emissions in its own operations by 2050 (ROC Year 139). In addition, the Company plans to complete GHG inventories for its subsidiaries by 2027 (ROC Year 116). Following this, it will expand the management boundary and reassess and optimize the Group's overall baseline year and reduction targets. |
| GHG Reduction Strategy and Specific Action Plans The Company's carbon reduction strategy aligns with Taiwan's Climate Change Response Act and relevant policy directions. It adopts the principle of "reduction first, offsetting second" as the core approach to GHG management. The Company believes that carbon reduction should focus on reviewing and improving its own operational activities, achieving actual emission reductions rather than relying primarily on external offset mechanisms. Strategically, the Company prioritizes identifying emission sources across its operations and reducing GHG emissions through measures such as improving energy efficiency, optimizing production processes, and enhancing resource utilization efficiency. At the same time, it evaluates the feasibility of introducing renewable energy and gradually increases the proportion of low-carbon energy use. Only after implementing reduction measures will the Company assess the use of carbon offset mechanisms to address unavoidable emissions as a supplementary approach. Looking ahead, the Company will continue to strengthen its GHG management systems and data infrastructure, and will regularly review and refine its reduction strategies and action plans in response to operational developments and evolving regulatory trends, thereby progressively improving overall carbon reduction performance. |
| Progress Toward Reduction Targets Our company's greenhouse gas emissions in 2025 increased slightly compared to 2024, primarily due to the expansion of operational scale. However, an analysis of the emissions structure shows that Scope 2 emissions (purchased electricity) decreased compared to the previous year, indicating that energy-saving measures have been effective. With a production area increase of approximately 14.7%, the emissions intensity per thousand units decreased from 7.45 to 6.57 tCO2e/1000 m2, representing a reduction of about 11.8%. This demonstrates that the company has effectively reduced the carbon emission intensity per unit of production activity. GHG Emissions and Intensity Trends |

Operational Highlights
Business Content
(1) Business Scope
-
The main content of the business and its operating proportion:
The company's business is mainly divided into two parts, one is that the sales proportion of polarizers is 97%. The other part is for the sales of sunglasses, touch controls and related optical materials, accounting for 3% of revenue. -
The company's current product (service) projects and planned new products (services):
The company currently manufactures and sells important raw material polarizers for LCD/OLED (including TN, STN, TFT, PM-OLED, AM-OLED, etc.), lenses for sunglasses and some touch-related materials. At present, it is planned to cut into the production and sales of more optoelectronic peripheral raw materials products.
(2) Industry Overview
- Industry status and development
Polarizers are mainly used in liquid crystal displays (Liquid Crystal Display, referred to as LCD), which are upstream components of the LCD industry, and their sales are greatly affected by overall LCD demand.
Comparison table of TN, STN and TFT-LCD
| LCD | Theory | Characteristic | Angle of view | Panel size | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TN | Liquid crystal molecules (twisted 90 degrees) | Black and white, monochrome low contrast(20:1) | narrow (Below 30 degrees) | Below 6” | Electronic watches, computers, simple palm-sized game consoles, etc. |
| STN | Liquid crystal molecules (twisted 180~270 degrees) | Black and white, color (260,000 colors), low contrast is better than TN (50:1) | narrow (Below 40 degrees) | Below 10” | Electronic dictionary, mobile phone, stock machine, etc. |
| TFT | Liquid crystal molecules (twisted 90 degrees) | Color (16.78 million colors), high contrast TN 500:1~1000:1 MVA 1500:1~3000:1 IPS 1000:1~2000:1 | Wider TN:80 degrees MVA: 88 degrees IPS: 88 degrees | 1.5~65” | Digital cameras, digital frames, personal digital assistants, mobile phones, LCD projectors, notebook computers, liquid crystal monitors, color TVs (Full HD), and car navigation systems, etc. |
The above data shows that the applications of liquid crystal displays include business, information, communications, consumer electronics, transportation and entertainment applications, and various types of LCD have different applications under different terminal product specifications. The polarizing plate is the key component of the above three types of LCD. Its function is mainly used to control the polarization direction of specific light waves, so that light can pass or shield, and provide the necessary display characteristics. Because the liquid crystal itself does not have the ability to pass or shield light, and the control function requires the use of a polarizer to achieve related functions, so the polarizer is of great importance to LCD.
Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) take advantage of their small size, light weight, low power consumption, full-plane display and low radiation, from general-purpose electronic products such as watches and computers to high-end electronic product displays such as mobile phones and tablets. Computers, laptops, LCD screens, LCD TVs, etc. are quite high market share.
The investment boom in my country's liquid crystal display industry has continued in recent years. Although the investment in super-twisted liquid crystal displays (STN-LCD) has stopped, a series of eye-catching large-size thin film transistor displays (TFT-LCD) and AM-OLED continues to invest. At present, Taiwan is already the world's TFT-LCD production center, and TN-LCD and STN-LCD are mostly transferred to mainland China due to low prices and profits. In recent years, domestic investment has set off next-generation large-size TFT-LCD and AM-OLED. The upsurge of new technology, and the gradual implementation of independent technology development, coupled with the opening of the panel factory in 2010, the conditional landing of these hundreds of billions of new Taiwan dollars of investment, compared with the semiconductor industry has a tendency to come from behind.
Polarizers are materials required for the production of LCD/OLED, and the LCD industry is divided into TN, STN, OLED industry is divided into two categories: PM-OLED and AM-OLED. Although other flat-panel displays use polarizing plates, their individual application products, production centers, industrial characteristics and production technologies are different. Optimax will position the main marketing markets in Taiwan, mainland China, Japan and South Korea, but it is still regarded as the polarizer supplier with the highest market share in both Taiwan and mainland China is the goal.
2. Industrial connection

3. Industry development trends and competition
(1) Product development trend
Polarizers are classified according to their optical functions, which can be divided into general use, high contrast, ultra-high contrast, ultra-high contrast, high durability, color, whitening, IPS and VA polarizers. Recently, product development is trending towards thinness, high transmittance, high resolution and high brightness. To meet the requirements of panel lightweight and environmental protection and energy saving. Polarizing plates are classified according to the production materials, which can be divided into iodine series and dye series. The difference is that the weather resistance of the dye-based polarizer is better than that of the iodine series. Therefore, dye-based polarizers are often used under high temperature conditions such as automotive, industrial control and LCD projectors, but the iodine series is used for the optical properties of polarization and transmittance. Polarizers are better. Therefore, iodine series polarizers are completely used in products that require high optical properties such as notebook computers, desktop PC monitors and LCD TVs. The company's product classification is as follows:
| Optical function | General purpose | High contrast type | Ultra-high contrast type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category | TN Polarizers | STN/PM-OLED Polarizers | TFT /AM-OLED Polarizers |
| Iodine series (I2) | Computer, Watch, Sun glasses, Game | PDA · Mobile phone | Laptops, Smart phones, Digital photography, Camera, Tablet PC, Desktop PC monitor, LCD TV |
| Dye series (dye) | For vehicles, ships, Low-level displays | Car navigator | Projector, Car navigator |
Since LCD products have special and strict requirements in terms of brightness, visibility, weather resistance, ease of use, and light weight, in order to meet the needs of LCD manufacturers for the quality and characteristics
of polarizers, the company should improve and develop the polarizer, each composite film, adhesion, processing, and interact with LCD customers to fully understand customer needs as a product development reference.
The development trend of polarizing plate required by LCD is as follows:
| LCD demand for polarizing plate characteristics | Demand type | Polarizer products development direction | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visual effect | High brightness High contrast No color shift Anti-reflection Wide viewing angle characteristics | Improved characteristics of polarizer | Transmittance, polarizer performance, surface reflection prevention (AGLR, AGAR, HCLR HCAR) |
| Reflection, semi-transmission | Whiteness, reflectivity, semi-transmission, viewing angle characteristics | ||
| Retardation film | Retardation film difference value control, wavelength dispersion characteristics, · temperature dependent film, Liquid crystal coating film | ||
| Portable type with high weather resistance, thin and light weight | Thin Durability | Improve durability of Dye and Iodine product Thin product Introduction | Thinner, high durability and medium durability |
| Ease of processing | Flatness Easy to tear release film an protect film | Process improvement, raw material selection | Correct use of polarizer materials and adhesives |

As mainland panel manufacturers have continued to invest in next-generation panels and acquire Japanese & Korean panel factories in recent years, mainland LCD production capacity will account for nearly $80\%$ of the world's production capacity in 2025, and OLED production capacity will also account for nearly $50\%$ of global production capacity. In view of this, although mainland China's polarizing plate manufacturers previously focused on mid-to-low-end products such as TN/STN/PM-OLED, in recent years, in addition to accelerating the introduction of high-end TFT/AM-OLED products, they have also actively acquired polarizing plate factories in South Korea and Japan to rapidly increase product competitiveness and overall market share. Taiwan's polarizing plate factories mainly include OPTIMAX TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, BenQ Materials and Chengmei Materials. In response to the competition from polarizing plate manufacturers in mainland China and Taiwan, the company has been actively developing non-consumer products two years ago, including: Automobile LCDs, Sunglasses and polarizing plates for VR/AR/AI. It has also actively entered the automotive market in mainland China and improved all-round services to customers, in order to widen the gap with competitors and maintain a high degree of competitiveness.

(4)Long-term and short-term business development plans
1. Short-term development plan:
(1) Marketing strategy
A. Market:
Due to the lack of significant growth in global demand for LCD panels, the company has adjusted its overall marketing strategy for 2026 to focus on high-margin products and maintaining reasonable economic scales. In addition, the company will actively leverage the certifications it has obtained from major manufacturers to increase product revenue and continue to strengthen relationships with key customers and suppliers.
B. Customers:
In addition to continuously strengthening relationships with existing major customers, the company is actively expanding its customer base in regions such as Mainland China, South Korea, and Japan.
C. Product range:
Continuously reduce the proportion of consumer products and strive to secure orders for niche products (such as automotive and industrial control). Additionally, continuously strengthen the inventory of raw materials/semi-finished products and finished products to increase flexibility in delivery times, facilitating the response to urgent orders from customers in the market.
D. Service:
To implement Total Solution, the company has divided its customer base by region and integrated the functions of product development and marketing personnel to provide comprehensive and in-depth customer service in the local area.
(2) Production strategy
A. Centralize personnel management and production lines to cope with the overall unfavorable environment; maximize the utilization of manpower and resources to achieve optimal production efficiency and minimize costs.
B. Temporarily halt production of surplus production lines due to declining market demand to achieve effective management and improve effective production yield and utilization rate based on actual conditions.
C. Increase machine speed, inspect production equipment, and carry out equipment upgrades based on demand to enhance production efficiency.
(3) Product research and development
The product development direction focuses primarily on automotive applications and AR/VR products. For automotive applications, the main objectives are to improve reliability, develop IPS wide-viewing-angle compensation films, and support larger panel sizes.
In terms of panel size, the mainstream size has increased from the original 8–10 inches to 14–17 inches this year, with some models exceeding 20 inches. Regarding reliability, a high-temperature tolerance of 95°C is now a basic requirement, with future targets moving toward 105°C. For high-temperature and high-humidity conditions, due to customer demand for exports to Europe and the United States, a requirement of 85°C/85% RH must be met. Therefore, it is necessary to develop products with higher reliability to meet these demands.
For wide-viewing-angle compensation films, current material costs remain high, resulting in insufficient competitiveness. Identifying more cost-competitive suppliers is a key focus. In addition, panel customers continue to demand price reductions. This can be addressed through polarizer improvements that enable cost reductions for panel manufacturers while increasing the value of the polarizer itself.
For example, the development of low-impedance polarizers aims to replace high-resistance films in response to customer demand for cost reduction. If panel manufacturers can replace existing high-resistance films, it will significantly reduce their costs. At the same time, for polarizer manufacturers, developing low-impedance polarizers can help increase pricing and profit margins.
Similarly, the development of polarizers integrated with OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive) can help panel manufacturers eliminate the OCA lamination process and avoid the high cost of purchasing OCA materials, thereby reducing overall costs. Meanwhile, for polarizer manufacturers, the added functionality increases both product value and profit margins.
In the AR/VR segment, current demand for VR is relatively low, so development is mainly focused on AR. Existing collaborations are with well-known domestic customers, whose end clients are globally recognized brands. As market demand grows, this is expected to contribute significantly to Lite-On Technology’s revenue.
Current AR development efforts are aligned with customer requirements. In addition to microfabrication processes, new developments include anti-reflective coatings and ink printing. However, as there is currently no in-house equipment for these processes, efforts are underway to evaluate outsourcing partners capable of performing the required processing on optical films.
- Long-term plan
(1) Marketing strategy
A. Strengthen the sales of superior products (high durability, optical films, self-made coating) and adjust the product portfolio to ensure increased profitability and increase product differentiation with
62
competitors.
B. Become a professional polarizing plate design and production factory, cooperate with market development, strengthen negotiation with customers, have achieved mutual benefits, profit sharing, and continue to strive for more international cooperation.
C. In recent years, there has been significant oversupply in TV, monitors, notebooks, tablet PCs, and other small and medium consumer products, leading to intense price competition. As a result, these products will only maintain a very small share of shipments. The company will focus its efforts on developing niche products such as automotive, industrial control, VR/AR, and sunglasses.
(2) Production strategy
A. Introduce production integration automation and AOI automatic detection system one after another to increase production efficiency.
B. Strengthen the line change speed, concentrate production, and flexibly schedule production capacity in order to properly arrange urgent order production.
C. Strengthen the interaction with suppliers to stabilize the adequate supply of raw materials and reduce production costs.
D. Analyze the amount of production of drugs and consumables, and adjust the frequency reasonably to reduce production costs Use and cost.
E. Optimize automotive production processes to improve yield.
(3) Product development
- We will continue the development of automotive products. In the short term, the focus will be on LCD-related applications, emphasizing high reliability, wide viewing angles, and larger panel sizes. In the long term, development will shift toward polarizers for OLED applications. Currently, mass production demand remains limited; therefore, we will continue to evaluate suppliers for quarter-wave plate ( $\lambda/4$ plate) development, with the goal of confirming sample suppliers within this year and beginning small-volume sample shipments next year.
- For AR/VR products, the main focus is on evaluating and introducing new equipment. At present, some equipment gaps are addressed through outsourcing. Going forward, to increase production capacity, it will be necessary to evaluate and procure in-house equipment.

<2023-2028 Global Vehicle-mounted TFT LCD Market Demand>

Source: Omida 2026
From the charts illustrating the global demand for TFT LCD from 2022 to 2031, it is clearly evident that, due to the gradual recovery of the global market economy and the complex interplay of geopolitical factors, compared to the shipment volumes in 2023, shipments in 2024 for most products, including TV, MNT, Notebook, and Tablet PC, are expected to increase, except for Mobile Phones, which will see a decline. As for 2025, with the global economy continuing to stabilize and the Chinese government launching new stimulus programs such as trade-in schemes for home appliances and automobiles, demand for related products, including TV, MNT, Notebook, Tablet PC, Automobiles, Public Displays, and Head Mount Displays (Metaverse - VR/AR), is anticipated to grow.
The chart detailing the global AM-OLED market demand from 2022 to 2031 clearly shows that regardless of large or mid-small size AM-OLED products, the overall shipment volume decreased in 2022 compared to 2021 due to the impact of the pandemic and poor global economic conditions. However, from 2023 to 2031, the overall demand for shipments is anticipated to grow steadily.
Additionally, the chart showing the global automotive TFT LCD market demand from 2023 to 2028 clearly indicates that automotive panels, whether for automobile monitors, center stack displays, instrument clusters, e-mirrors, or HUDs, are expected to see continuous stable growth during this period.
In summary, the data from the aforementioned three charts suggest that apart from the five main products (LCD TVs, monitors, notebooks, tablet PCs, and smartphones), the development of applications for automobile LCDs, public displays, smartwatches, head-mount displays (Metaverse—VR/AR), and AM-OLED (rigid & flexible) products will undoubtedly remain fiercely
3. Favorable factors for competitive niche and development prospects and corresponding strategies
(1) Favorable factors for competitive niche and development prospects
A. Utilize existing customer service personnel in Suzhou and Shenzhen to provide more timely and comprehensive services to customers in East and South China.
B. In addition to actively collaborating with major LCD and Tier 1 manufacturers on existing automotive products, we are accelerating the development and certification of polarizers and optical films with features such as low shrinkage, higher durability, high precision, high brightness, low reflection, low impedance, and reflective properties to meet future trends in automotive product development.
C. Developing high-value-added precision coating products using optical film production and surface coating technology.
(2) Unfavorable factors in the development prospects and countermeasures
A. Intense downstream customer competition leads to strong pricing pressure.
Due to the emergence of new generation production lines (such as G8.5/G10) among TFT-LCD/AM-OLED panel manufacturers from 2011 to 2024, panel supply will increase significantly, leading to a decrease in selling prices. As a result, raw material prices will inevitably face downward pressure.
(a) Continuously research and develop high-functionality, high-quality, and high-profit products to mitigate pricing pressures, and develop towards high-gross-margin small and medium-sized, industrial control, automotive, and Metaverse-related products.
(b) Continuously improve the production process, increase machine speed, utilization rate, and cutting utilization rate, reduce internal losses, and accelerate the localization of major raw materials to reduce overall costs.
(c) Deepen the production lines of existing professional TN/STN, dye-based and TFT products, further cultivate new products and expand market share to create greater profits.
B. There are many potential competitors
As market demand grows, panel manufacturers adopt the In-House strategy for polarizers, leading to increasingly intense competition.
(a) Adjust product portfolio in a timely manner and implement differentiated market strategies to overcome potential threats.
(b) Continuously and rapidly develop and improve products to lead market demand, extend the learning curve for potential competitors, and establish a patent portfolio to create a competitive advantage.
(2) Important uses of major products and production process
The company's main products are polarizers for the production of LCD/OLED. LCD is classified as TN/STN/TFT and OLED is classified as PM-OLED/AM-OLED.

(3) Supply status of main raw material
This year, the overall operation will continue to advance based on the existing foundation. The product layout will focus on in-vehicle and high value-added applications. Structural optimization will drive profits to maintain stable performance. However, as the focus of development has gradually shifted from medium and large sizes to smaller products such as automotive, the material requirements and production area corresponding to unit output
have simultaneously shrunk, resulting in a decrease in procurement scale and facing higher challenges in price negotiation and material preparation flexibility.
In addition, the international situation has undergone major changes this year. The conflict between the United States and Iran has actually broken out and its duration is unknown, which has had a significant impact on the global energy market and supply system. The sharp fluctuations in crude oil prices have also pushed up the cost of petrochemical-related raw materials, further affecting transportation costs and delivery stability. Recently, upstream material manufacturers have also successively issued letters informing that due to the impact of the war in the Middle East, they have faced difficulties in obtaining raw materials and cost control. In the future, they will switch to a rolling quotation mechanism, and even if they accept price increases, they cannot guarantee full supply. For industries that are highly dependent on imported energy, this situation has been directly reflected in material security and cost pressures. Procurement operations must immediately adjust response strategies to reduce the impact of external risks.
In terms of the supply system, international material factories with existing cooperation are still an important support for stable quality and technology. However, the connection between the terminal and the material end has deepened, and market competition pressure continues to increase. Our company will continue to use its existing process experience and flexible advantages to focus on diversified and customized needs and steadily deepen the niche application market.
As for procurement operations, in addition to maintaining existing cooperative relationships with manufacturers, we also continue to simultaneously expand alternative sources, and strengthen the depth of cooperation with third parties through information sharing and technical exchanges to improve development efficiency and market response speed. At the same time, we continue to promote supply dispersion and inventory adjustment to cope with price fluctuations and supply uncertainty.

Explanation of reasons for changes in main materials in 2025:
For fiscal year 2025 and Q1 of 2026, the primary sources of materials are Japanese and Taiwanese suppliers. In consideration of cost and material allocation risks, the policy of material diversification continues to be implemented. Amid the depreciation of the Japanese yen, it is possible to source materials with relatively advantageous costs. Furthermore, starting from the second half of 2023, in response to adjustments in the order structure, the proportion of products with excessively high material cost ratios has been significantly reduced. Efforts have been focused on increasing the share of automotive, industrial control, and HUD products, as well as developing an automotive customer base. As a result, dependence on Japanese materials remains significant.
