Not long ago, there was news that Apple's Vision Pro would use SeeYA Technology and BOE Micro-OLED displays. As far as the public is concerned, BOE is naturally not unfamiliar. However, who is SeeYA Technology?Can he still "compete on the same stage" with BOE?
In fact, compared with BOE, Seeya Technology is very "low-key". But this does not affect his influence in the B-end circle. This semiconductor oledos display manufacturer, which has only been established for seven years, quickly "went out of the circle" as a dark horse.
At present, SeeYA Technology has become the leading supplier of micro-OLED displays of well-known brands such as DJI, Xiaomi, and Tribute to the Unknown. As early as November 2019, Hefei Seeya's silicon-based OLED display screen project was completed and put into operation, which was the world's largest and only R&D and production base focusing on 12-inch wafer silicon-based OLED micro display components at that time.
As everyone knows, there is a huge and powerful shareholder "Tiantuan" behind SeeYA Technology, including state-owned assets, giant-level enterprises, listed companies, etc. Having the "platform" of these well-known institutions may also mean that the development of SeeYA Technology will be smooth.
The boss of the company, Tieer Gu, is quite low-key and mysterious, and in the past two years, there have been few official news developments in public.
It is this inconspicuous and undewy boss who has a legendary existence. Born in 1968, he was a rare high-achieving student in that era. In 1989, he graduated from the Department of Physics, Fudan UniversityHe received his Ph.D. in Engineering from Pennsylvania State University in 1994.
He was involved in the establishment of the first second-generation TFT-LCD production line in the United States, and the development and manufacture of the world's first thoracic digital X-ray machine.
What is particularly noteworthy is that Gu Tie is also the founder and boss of the listed company Yirui Technology, and one of the actual controllers of the company, which currently has a market value of tens of billions. The outside world also calls SeeYA Technology and Yirui Technology brother companies. Not long ago, Yirui Technology replied to investors' questions that the company has not cooperated with SeeYA Technology at present.
Interestingly, although there is no cooperation between the two parties at present, there are also Gu Tie's business partners in Yirui Technology on the surface and behind SeeYA Technology, and they are staging "Old Friends".
For example, standing in front of the stage, Feng Hua, chairman of the board of supervisors of Yirui Technology, is also the senior vice president of SeeYA TechnologyShanghai Kaishan Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), the 13th shareholder of SeeYA Technology, has Yang Weizhen, one of the actual controllers of Yirui Technology.
Even, among the shareholders behind Shanghai Kaishan Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), there is also Chen Xiuying, the mother of Chengbin Qiu, one of the actual controllers of Yirui Technology.
In the future, once Gu Tie leads SeeYA Technology to impact the IPO success like Yirui Technology, these "old friends" may "benefit a lot" from this.
However, whether Gu Tie can tell the story of SeeYA Technology well and whether he can replicate the "myth" of Yirui Technology's successful listing remains to be tested by the future market.
To become a fruit chain?A low-key vision
The end of the year is approaching, and the news about the upcoming Apple Vision Pro early next year is also starting to come alive. One of the news circulating in the market shows that Apple has made certain adjustments to the first supplier of Vision Pro, and decided to stop using Sony's micro-OLED display and use SeeYA Technology and BOE products instead.
In fact, this is not the first time this year that this has been reported. For example, in August this year, there was news in the market that in order to further promote the diversification of the ** chain, Apple is planning to absorb more Chinese companies such as SeeYA Technology (full name "SeeYA Technology Co., Ltd. *** and BOE" to join the ** chain.
As early as May this year, the outside world said that in order to target Apple's Vision Pro, SeeYA Technology had placed an order with display production equipment manufacturer Sunic System to purchase a deposition machine for the production of Oledos.
Prior to this, there was information that SeeYA Technology's silicon-based OLED had sent samples to Apple many times, and Apple's R&D personnel were also working with SeeYA Technology in Hefei to promote silicon-based OLED for XR equipment. SeeYA Technology is expected to become the first supplier of silicon-based OLED for Apple's XR devices.
As far as the public is concerned, BOE, as a domestic semiconductor display giant, is well-known to everyone, but Seeya Technology knows very little, but it can appear in Apple's sight and "compete on the same stage" with BOE.
But what everyone doesn't know is that Seeya Technology has already been a number of well-known brands of micro OLED screens. For example, in July this year, Tribute to Unknown founder and CEO Wu Dezhou held the ARKNOVV brand launch and new product launch conference, announced the new AR brand ARKNOVV, and officially launched two AR glasses products: the first "consumer-grade AR glasses that can be worn out" - ARKNOVV A1, and ARKNOVV A1 HUD.
The ARKNOVV A1 released this time weighs only 68 grams, and it is equipped with a Micro OLED screen with high refresh rate, high resolution and high brightness of SeeYA Technology, breaking the shackles of traditional AR glasses and bringing users an all-weather wearing experience and excellent visual experience.
In February this year, Xiaomi officially released the Xiaomi wireless AR glasses exploration version at the Mobile World Congress, which is the first wireless distributed computing AR glasses product launched by Xiaomi, with retina-level light environment adaptation display, and can be connected to the mobile phone at one touch, supporting innovative micro-gesture interaction, complete large-screen application ecology and rich interconnection scenarios and other functions.
The Xiaomi wireless AR glasses also use 0The 49-inch Micro OLED micro display, with a free-form light guide prism, allows the high-definition picture content displayed on the screen to be reflected by the three surfaces in the prism and finally presented in front of the user's eyes.
For another example, in August last year, DJI released a new generation of drones DJI **ATA. At the same time, the world's first consumer-grade FPV goggles with a Micro OLED screen were released: Goggles 2. The Goggles 2 released by DJI this time uses SeeYA to develop and produce micro OLED micro displays.
SeeYA Technology said on its official website that Micro OLED and DJI **ATA have reached a perfect collaboration to perfectly present the cool pictures captured by **ATA in high-speed flight and rotation to users, allowing users to experience the feeling of real flight through Goggles 2.
In this way, compared with the popularity of BOE, Seeya Technology is quite low-key. So why is SeeYA so "out of the circle" in the B-end market?
Strong shareholder Tiantuan state-owned assets blessing
According to the data, Seeya Technology was established in October 2016 with a registered capital of 900 million yuan, the legal representative is Tieer Gu, and its headquarters is located in Hefei, Anhui Province.
SeeYA Technology is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D, design, production and sales of next-generation semiconductor oledos displays. SeeYA is committed to building an OLEDOS display application ecological chain and providing customers with end-to-end microdisplay-related solutions.
In just seven years since its establishment, it has become a leading enterprise in the field of oledos display in China. It is reported that the first phase of the SeeYA factory covers an area of more than 40,000 square meters, which is one of the few industrial bases in the world that focuses on the production of oledos displays on 12-inch wafers.
But what everyone doesn't know is that behind this high-tech enterprise hides as much as 48** East, including many well-known enterprises, listed companies, state-owned assets, head private equity, Japanese-funded enterprises, etc.
Specifically, behind Seeya Technology, there are 48 institutional enterprises and natural persons holding 0., such as Shanghai Jishan Management Consulting, Wuhan Jingce Electronics Group Co., Ltd., Jiaxing Lianyi No. 2 Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), Hubei Changjiang Zhaoyin Growth Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), Guangchi Technology (Shanghai), China Internet Investment (Limited Partnership), etc0347%-15.7104% of the shares.
Among them, the major shareholder Shanghai Jishan Management Consulting holds 157,104% of the shares, which are wholly owned by Tieer Gu;The second shareholder, Wuhan Jingce Electronics Group, holds 66859% shares, he is a company dedicated to semiconductors, display and new energy testing and other fields, and it is also an A-share listed company.
Hubei Changjiang CMB Growth Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), China Internet Investment** (Limited Partnership) and other shareholders are state-ownedThe shareholder, Guangchi Technology (Shanghai), is a Japanese-funded enterprise.
In addition, the shareholder sequence of SeeYA Technology also includes the participation of well-known enterprises such as Shanghai Feilai Information Technology, a subsidiary of DJI, and Hubei Xiaomi Yangtze River Industry ** Partnership (Limited Partnership), a related party of Xiaomi.
At the same time, SeeYA Technology also has a "platform" from Hefei local state-owned assets. For example, Hefei Xinzhan Industrial Investment and Hefei Guoyao Technology Innovation and Venture Capital Partnership (Limited Partnership) hold companies respectively. 7333% shares.
There are many well-known institutions behind SeeYA Technology, such as giant enterprises, state-owned assets, and listed companies. Presumably, with the blessing of these institutions, the development of SeeYA Technology will also be like a fish in water.
At present, there are 7 foreign investment enterprises of Seeya Technology, including Hefei Seeya Display Technology, Shanghai Seeya Technology, Zhaoying (Hubei) Intelligent Manufacturing Industry ** Partnership (Limited Partnership), Shanghai Okra Expansion Instrument, and Hainan Seeya Microelectronics, which are distributed in Shanghai, Anhui, Hainan, Hubei and other places.
Among them, it is worth noting that in addition to its own holding company, Seeya Technology holds 99991% shares. According to the data, Shanghai Guanxian Optoelectronics Technology integrates R&D, manufacturing and sales, and is committed to becoming a leader in LCD OLED new displays, near-eye displays, intelligent displays and IoT solutions. Focus on smart home, smart home appliances, Internet of Things, industrial, medical, military, AR VR and other industry application markets.
At the same time, SeeYA Technology also "bets" on another company that makes optical waveguides, Shanghai Lipai Optocrystal Technology, holding 34286% shares. According to the data, Founded in 2012, LP Optocrystal is the industry's leading supplier of augmented reality (AR) near-eye display modules, and is also a high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production and sales.
Mysterious boss American nationality has money to earn together?
At the helm of this high-tech company focusing on the new generation of semiconductor oledos displays is Tieer Gu, who is also the chairman of SeeYA Technology. Through the penetration of layers of equity, it can be seen that Tieer Gu holds 16 of the ultimate beneficial shares of SeeYA Technology4639%。
Tieer Gu's Chinese name is Gu Tie. He is quite low-key, inconspicuous, and rarely appears in the official news of Seeya Technology, which also puts a veil of mystery on him.
In November 2019, Gu Tie delivered a speech at the launch ceremony of Hefei Seeya silicon-based OLED display screens.
As far as Gu Tie is concerned, Seeya Technology is just a piece of the capital puzzle under him. According to the data, he is also the helmsman of Shanghai Yirui Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., an A-share listed company, and serves as the chairman and general manager of the company.
Not only that, he is also the founder and one of the actual controllers of Yirui Technology, and the actual controller behind Shanghai Yiyuan Herui Investment Consulting, the largest shareholder of Yirui Technology, is Gu Tie.
According to official data, its products are exported to 80+ countries and regions around the world such as the United States and Europe, with a total installed capacity of more than 200,000+ units, and has gradually developed into a representative enterprise of China's flat panel detector manufacturing.
At the same time, Yirui Technology has become one of the few detector companies in the world that has mastered the technology routes of amorphous silicon, oxide, flexible substrate and CMOS at the same time, and can provide hardware, software and complete image chain integrated solutions to meet the diverse needs of customers.
In 2020, under the leadership of Gu Tie, Yirui Technology will land on the science and technology innovation version, and the scenery is unlimited. As of December 20**, Yirui TechnologyThe market value exceeds 28 billion yuan
In fact, there are also Gu Tie's business partners in Yirui Technology on the surface and behind SeeYA Technology, and they are staging "Friends". For example, standing in front of the stage, Feng Hua, chairman of the board of supervisors of Yirui Technology, is also the senior vice president of SeeYA Technology
Zhao Kai, the chief financial officer of Yirui Technology, is also one of the shareholders behind Xiamen Shengshan Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), the seventh largest shareholder of SeeYA Technology.
For another example, Shanghai Kaishan Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), the 13th shareholder of SeeYA Technology, has Yang Weizhen, one of the actual controllers of Yirui Technology.
Not only that, the shareholders behind Shanghai Kaishan Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) even appeared Chen Xiuying, the mother of Chengbin Qiu, one of the actual controllers of Yirui Technology.
According to the data, Shanghai Kaishan Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) was established in July 2014 with a registered capital of 14.7 million yuan, and its main business involves industrial investment, investment management, investment consulting, etc. In March 2018, the original two partners of the company's Beihu partner "big change" all withdrew and were transferred to the current 15 natural persons and institutions to hold shares. At present, the company only invests in SeeYA Technology.
It is enough to see that Gu Tie's business partnership with him is good. As for Gu Tie himself, his past can definitely be called a legendary existence.
Gu Tie, who was born in the summer of 1968, was a rare high-achieving student in that era. In 1989, he graduated from Fudan University with a bachelor's degree in physicsHe graduated from The Pennsylvania State University in 1994 with a Ph.D. in Engineering ScienceFrom 1994 to 1998, he served as Optical Imaging Systems IncR&D engineer and engineering manager of Optical Imaging Systems Company.
From 1998 to 2002, he served as project manager, operations manager, and director of product engineering at GE Healthcare and Perkin Elmer.
From 2003 to 2006, he served as the General Manager of GE Global R&D Center (Shanghai).From 2006 to 2014, he worked in Shanghai Tianma Microelectronics as director and general manager. Since then, he has served as the founder of Yirui Technology.
According to public information, Gu Tie has participated in the establishment of the first second-generation TFT-LCD production line in the United States, as well as the R&D and manufacturing of the world's first thoracic digital X-ray machine. After returning to China, he worked in Tianma, successfully established or acquired a number of TFT-LCD and LTPS-LCD factories, and led Tianma to grow into a global leader in small and medium-sized displays.
It is worth noting that Gu Tie is an American citizen. In addition to SeeYA Technology and Yirui Technology, there is also a ToF chip and solution provider in the 3D field under his rule, Optomicro Technology (full name "Optomicro Information Technology (Hefei)**", etc.
According to the data, Gu Tie has invested in four companies, including Shanghai Chang Ze Investment Consulting Partnership (Limited Partnership), Shanghai Yiyuan Herui Investment Consulting, Shanghai Jishan Management Consulting, and Shanghai Changrui Management Consulting Partnership (Limited Partnership). Among them, Shanghai Jishan Management Consulting, which is wholly owned by Gu Tie, controls as many as 18 enterprises in a state of existence.
The story of Gu Tie and SeeYA Technology continues, and now there is good news about SeeYA Technology on the market. In the future, once the IPO is successful, presumably, Gu Tie and his old friends will benefit a lot.
