The AW21036QPY-Q1 who won the grand prize this time is Ai's "Ai is the Lantern Language"®"One of the core products of the series is specially tailored for on-board scenes such as intelligent cockpit atmosphere lights, dashboard indicators, and central control interactive backlights. The products have passed the AEC-Q100 vehicle gauge level reliability certification, with a cumulative shipment of more than 10 million,It fills the gap of domestic multi-channel, high-precision, low-EMI car gauge-level LED driver chip, and can fully realize the domestic substitution of international mainstream similar products.


It has been applied in batches to scenes such as dashboard indicator lights, door through-type running water lights, central control panel atmosphere lights, vanity mirror lighting, and eye protection reading lights. Smooth access to a number of mainstream car supply chain, after rigorous road testing and market verification, has become the core standard of intelligent cockpit lighting scheme.


The AW21036QPY-Q1 was awarded the "2026 Impact Automotive Chip", which is not only the industry's high recognition of Ai's hard-core research and development strength and product scale landing ability, but also highlights the domestic automotive chip in the sub-sector to achieve a leap-forward breakthrough from running, and running to the lead. Currently,The global automotive industry is accelerating towards electrification and intelligence, and the localization of automotive-grade chips has become the core key to ensure the security of the supply chain of the industrial chain and support the high-quality development of the industry.


In the future, Ai will take this award as an opportunity to continue to increase the code car-level chip research and development investment, deep-cultivated car lighting, car audio, intelligent interaction, power management, signal chain, RF front-end and other sub-areas. Relying on products with higher performance, higher reliability and higher integration, we will join hands with upstream and downstream partners to help the high-quality development of China's automotive chip industry,For the car experience upgrade to contribute "Ai for the core" power!
