Lens Technology is a high-tech manufacturer specializing in the research, development, and sale of protective glass and other materials for the smart device industry. Founded in 2003 by Zhou Qunfei, the company initially focused on producing glass for watches before pivoting to the burgeoning mobile phone market. Its major breakthrough came from supplying glass screens for the first iPhone in 2007, which established it as a dominant player in the industry.
Zhou Qunfei's journey is a notable rags-to-riches story. Born into a poor rural family in Hunan province, she left school at 15 to work in a watch lens factory in Shenzhen. Through diligent work and self-study in subjects like accounting, she saved up enough to start her own watch lens workshop with relatives in 1993 on a mere HK$20,000. This workshop eventually became Lens Technology. Her hands-on approach and attention to detail were instrumental in securing early contracts and driving the company's growth. Today, she is recognized as one of the world's wealthiest self-made women.
The company's business model is centered on providing high-end glass, metal, ceramic, and sapphire components to leading global consumer electronics brands. Major clients include Apple, Samsung, Huawei, and Tesla. Revenue is generated primarily through the manufacturing and sale of these components, including touch panel cover glass, touch sensor modules, and structural parts. The company operates on a global scale, with nine R&D and production bases in China and Vietnam, and is expanding into Thailand. Lens Technology went public on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2015 and achieved a dual listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2025, creating an "A+H" share structure.
Lens Technology has expanded its product applications beyond smartphones and tablets to include smart wearables, laptops, new energy vehicles, smart homes, and humanoid robots. The company is heavily invested in R&D, focusing on new materials and advanced processing techniques like ultra-thin flexible and laminated glass. It is also innovating in thermal management solutions, such as liquid cooling systems combined with piezoelectric fans, for high-performance computing and AI applications.
