SHENZHEN, China, April 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Xiaomi's Redmi K40 Gaming Edition is the first mobile phone in the world to incorporate a Wafer Level Glass (WLG) hybrid camera lens.  The K40 Gaming Edition was officially launched on April 27th, 2021. The hybrid camera lens solution includes 1 glass + 5 plastic lens elements provided by AAC Optics, a subsidiary of AAC Technologies.  AAC Optics made their initial investment into WLG 10 years ago and has subsequently developed patented expertise to enable high volume production of Wafer Level Glass (WLG) technology into the Smartphone, Automotive, and IOT (Internet of Things) markets.

The launch represents a milestone in mobile photography. The camera touts a larger aperture and a 15% increase in light reaching the sensor, enabling lower noise and more detail for low light and night photography. The unique lens coating and anti-reflective technologies reduce ghosting and flare in complex light environments. With increased aperture, optical designers have greater design freedom for improved performance and smaller dimensions, making phones lighter and thinner.

Due to the extremely challenging manufacturing process of glass material, all mobile phones currently use plastic lenses. Leveraging semiconductor wafer manufacturing techniques, AAC Optics has demonstrated that glasses lenses can be mass produced for global smartphone supply chains. Due to the highly transferable technology, WLG is suitable for making a variety of high-precision aspheric glass lenses. This will open limitless opportunities for glass lenses to improve the end user experience in applications beyond smartphones, including automotive, AR/VR, drones, smart home devices and wearables.

深圳2021年4月30日 /美通社/ -- 全球首款搭載WLG玻塑混合鏡頭手機 -- Redmi K40 遊戲增強版，於4月27日正式發佈，該手機鏡頭採用1片玻璃鏡片+5片塑膠鏡片的解決方案，由全球唯一擁有WLG晶圓級玻璃技術的瑞聲科技旗下子公司 -- AAC OPTICS誠瑞光學提供。

通過搭載玻璃鏡片，Redmi K40 遊戲增強版的攝像頭光圈更大、進光量提升15%，在拍攝夜景時噪點更低、細節更豐富。同時，通過特有的鏡片噴塗技術和鏡片超低反鍍膜工藝，可在複雜光線下有效抑制鬼影和炫光。

這是手機影像發展史上的一個創舉。由於玻璃鏡片生產工藝難度極高，目前全球手機使用的都是塑膠鏡片，而玻璃鏡片擁有低色散、進光量大、熱穩定性的優勢，可以獲得更大的鏡頭設計自由、更大的光圈及更強的解析力，能夠讓手機攝像頭性能更好的同時變得更薄。

誠瑞光學積累了十餘年WLG技術研發與製造經驗，具備實現玻璃鏡片規模化量產的能力，產能比傳統技術高出數十倍，並可生產多種高精度非球面玻璃鏡片，有望逐步取代塑膠鏡頭，廣泛運用在智慧手機、智慧汽車、AR/VR、可穿戴設備等領域。

Ping An Leading Digital Revolution in Healthcare

Pandemic accelerating shift to online/offline service delivery

HONG KONG and SHANGHAI, April 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd. (hereafter "Ping An" or the "Group", HKEX: 2318; SSE: 601318) is investing in a holistic strategy in digital healthcare to address the challenges of China's rapidly aging population, rising public healthcare costs and a shortage of medical professionals.

Digital healthcare spending last year was about 7% of total healthcare spending in China, but the COVID-19 pandemic has driven wider acceptance of online healthcare services among the government, regulators, health care professionals, consumers and companies, Ping An Group Co-CEO Jessica Tan said on McKinsey's Future of Asia podcast.

"We believe perhaps 20% to 25% [of healthcare services in China] could be online or even part of it can be online, but then the bulk is still going to be offline. You still need to solve the offline problem, and we believe that technology can be used to empower these professionals," Ms Tan said.

Ping An has used its financial and technology expertise to create a closed-loop healthcare ecosystem with 12 Group entities supporting the government, healthcare service providers, medical professionals, social and commercial health insurers, and consumers.

"Healthcare services is a critical and differentiating part of our insurance, so we've bundled our insurance and healthcare services together," Ms Tan said. "We're one of the largest online healthcare providers, and we believe that this digitization of healthcare services is coming, and we would like to be one of the leading players in this area."

China's healthcare market is expected to grow from RMB6 trillion in 2019 to RMB16 trillion in 2030, she said. There is rapid growth in demand from an aging and increasingly affluent population and a supportive policy and regulatory environment in line with the national Healthy China 2030 initiative. However, there are major challenges: with 3.8 million doctors, 4.4 million nurses for population of 1.4 billion, there is a shortfall of as many as 700,000 doctors and millions of nurses, compared to Western countries. Rising costs must also be controlled: Chinese consumers are spending as much as 10% of their disposable income on health expenses, compared with 7% for US consumers. At the same time, government social health insurance expenditures are growing faster than income, so commercial insurance, which only represents about 7% of the payments, can grow to relieve the burden of the out-of-pocket expenditure, Ms Tan said.

Ping An Good Doctor, the first pillar of Ping An's healthcare strategy, is already the leading online healthcare services portal in China, for 24/7 online consultations, health management, prescriptions, second medical opinions and drug delivery. As of December 31, 2020, Ping An Good Doctor had 373 million users, and partnered with more than 3,700 hospitals and 151,000 pharmacies.

The second pillar is to support medical professionals working offline, with tools such as AskBob Doctor, an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven clinical decision support system and AI medical imaging and analysis. AskBob Doctor is already supporting 250,000 medical institutions and 750,000 doctors, for faster, more accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment recommendations. These tools were developed by Ping An Smart Healthcare, affiliated to Group subsidiary Ping An Smart City. Ping An Smart Healthcare supports the development of China's health care system by improving institutional management by health and medical authorities, assisting doctors in diagnosis and treatment, supporting the public health system to manage epidemics and chronic diseases, and facilitating pharmaceutical research.

For the Ping An Group, the healthcare ecosystem plays a key role in growing the Group's core financial business. Each year for the past four years, between 15% and 20% of Ping An's new financial customers were sourced from the health care ecosystem. Those customers held an average of 3.2 financial contracts and RMB39,100 in AUM per capita, compared to an average 2.1 financial contracts and RMB17,300 in AUM per capita for those who did not use the healthcare ecosystem.
