On November 6, BOE HC Semitek’s 20th Anniversary Celebration was grandly held at the Micro LED Intelligent Manufacturing R&D Base in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province.
The founding team of BOE HC Semitek, leaders of the three major shareholders, independent directors, the BOE HC Semitek management team, and representatives of all colleagues and family members gathered together to witness this milestone moment, recall the extraordinary years of the past, and jointly map out a new chapter for future development.
At the celebration, Zhang Zhaohong, Chairman of BOE HC Semitek, delivered an opening speech, reviewing the twenty-year journey with deep emotion. These twenty years have witnessed HC Semitek’s evolution from initial germination and rapid growth to reform and restructuring and high-quality development. Under the guidance of the “1213” strategy, all employees have practiced the spirit of “press, release, explore, and strive,” deeply expanded the market, and honed internal capabilities. Having gone from “full sales and full production” to “increased sales and increased output,” the company is now bravely crossing the threshold of one million units in capacity. Today, BOE HC Semitek’s sales volume ranks firmly among the top three in the industry, its product and technology competitiveness has significantly improved, and its operating performance has improved year by year. He emphasized that every achievement of the company is inseparable from the trust and empowerment of the three major shareholders—BOE, Zhuhai Technology, and IDG—as well as from the recognition and choice of customers and partners, and even more from the dedication and wisdom of every employee and family member. Standing at the new starting point of the 20th anniversary and facing the development opportunities brought by the continuous expansion of the new display industry and the accelerating arrival of the intelligent era of the Internet of Everything, BOE HC Semitek will continue to deepen strategic synergy with BOE, focus on the “dual-wheel drive” of process innovation and technology/product innovation, solidly advance operational improvement, and make “HC Semitek Chip Light” not only illuminate screens but also empower every aspect of smart life and light up infinite future possibilities.
This celebration was not only a retrospect and tribute to the company’s twenty years of hard work and steady growth, but also contained a touching moment of warmth—BOE HC Semitek’s corporate culture IP “Xiaocan” made a grand debut! It conveys the power of “chips” through a symbol of warmth. Xiaocan is a companion who loves innovation, moves forward bravely, and creates value with wisdom and action. With “inheritance, innovation, and development” as its core spirit, it conveys the company’s brand warmth through smiles. The birth of “Xiaocan” is both a tribute to the road of struggle in the past and an expectation for the road of future development. It marks that BOE HC Semitek will take technology as the foundation and culture as the soul, illuminate the way forward with love and persistence, and bloom with even more brilliant radiance.
Zhou Fuyun, representative of BOE HC Semitek’s founders, emotionally reviewed the company’s extraordinary journey of twenty years through thick and thin. In 2005, a group of overseas-educated doctors with the ideal of serving the industry through industry started a journey of seeking light and pursuing dreams from Wuhan. In the early days of the company, facing the dual challenges of funding shortages and talent scarcity, the team overcame difficulties with firm belief and tenacious perseverance. In 2007, HC Semitek’s first LED chip was successfully lit. This glimmer of light not only illuminated hope but also opened a chapter of innovation and breakthrough in the optoelectronics field. From the completion of four major intelligent manufacturing R&D bases in Zhangjiagang, Yiwu, Yuxi, and Zhuhai to the construction of a full-industry-chain layout, the company has accurately grasped market opportunities and continuously expanded its business footprint. In particular, with the collaborative empowerment of the three major shareholders, the team withstood industry competition pressure, broke through development bottlenecks, and achieved steady growth. He stated that BOE HC Semitek’s achievements over the past twenty years embody the hard work and strength of all supporters. Twenty years is a milestone and also a new starting point. Past glory has become the prologue, and an even more magnificent journey is ready to set sail.
Chen Yanshun, Chairman of BOE, attended the celebration and extended best wishes for BOE HC Semitek’s 20th anniversary. He pointed out that BOE’s strategic integration of HC Semitek is an important layout for building the “1+4+N+ecosystem chain” business system under the “Display-based IoT” strategy, and is also high recognition of the HC Semitek team’s strength and technological accumulation. BOE provides HC Semitek with multi-dimensional support ranging from international market resources, supply systems, and lean manufacturing experience to forward-looking technology R&D and brand influence empowerment, helping it deepen and refine its presence in the compound semiconductor field and build a globally competitive technology and product system. At the same time, Chairman Chen Yanshun expressed respect to generations of HC Semitek people who have long stayed at their posts and worked hard with dedication, and expressed gratitude to Zhuhai City and Zhuhai Technology Group for their support for BOE HC Semitek’s development.
The scene was filled with thunderous applause, interwoven with warmth and passion. The twenty-year chapter has concluded, and a new journey sets sail immediately. In the future, BOE HC Semitek will remain true to its original aspiration, move forward courageously, and advance toward the goal of “becoming a global innovation leader in compound semiconductors.” Together with all partners, it will use chips to help customers lead the way, create a better life with heart, and jointly embark on the next even more brilliant twenty years!
