Sunny Optical

Sunny Optical is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Sunny Optical rather than just read about it. In short: Sunny Optical Technology (Group) Company Limited, known as Sunny Optical or just Sunny is a Chinese civilian-run enterprise and listed company that produces optical lenses. Headquartered in Yuyao, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, Sunny Optical Technology designs, manufactures, and sells optical devices, including lens modules, camera modules, photoelectric vision products, microscopic, analytical and surveying instruments.

Key takeaways

Sunny Optical belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Sunny Optical to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Sunny Optical from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Sunny Optical Technology (Group) Company Limited, known as Sunny Optical or just Sunny is a Chinese civilian-run enterprise and listed company that produces optical lenses. Headquartered in Yuyao, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, Sunny Optical Technology designs, manufactures, and sells optical devices, including lens modules, camera modules, photoelectric vision products, microscopic, analytical and surveying instruments. It is a leading supplier to major smartphone brands including Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo. Besides, Sunny Optical is also the global leader in automotive optical lenses, consistently ranking No.1 in market share for many years, with approximately 30–35% global share.

History

Predecessors According to the company itself, the predecessor of Sunny Optical was founded in October 1984 as Yuyao County Second Optical Instruments Factory (Chinese: 余姚县第二光学仪器厂) in Yuyao County, Zhejiang Province. Since 1985 Yuyao became a county-level city, thus the factory was renamed to Yuyao City Second Optical Instrument Factory . The factory started its partnership with the Zhejiang University in 1988, and renamed as Yuyao City Second Optical Instrument Factory Zhejiang University Optical Instrument Faculty Yuayo Optoelectronic Instrument Factory (Chinese: 余姚市第二光学仪器厂浙江大学光仪系余姚光电仪器厂) in 1989. It was also known as Yuyao Optoelectronic (Chinese: 余姚光电). At that time, the university designed the optics and the factory manufactured them. In 1993, Yuyao Optoelectronic and other co-founders, incorporated Yuyao City Zhonglida Optoelectronic Company (Chinese: 余姚市众利达光电公司). At that time, Zhonglida was a village collective enterprise. Out of 118 natural person shareholders, only Wang Wenjian (Chinese: 王文鉴) and Lu Benxu (Chinese: 鲁本绪; pinyin: Lǔ Běnxù) owned more than 3% stakes at that time. While Yuyao Optoelectronic, owned one-fifth of the share capital of Zhonglida. In 1994 Yuyao Optoelectronic was converted into a joint-stock limited company. The employees of the factory, presented by the staff shareholding committee, owned 52.28% shares of Yuyao Optoelectronic at that time. A subsidiary of the Zhejiang University: Zhejiang University Optoelectronic Technology Development Company (Chinese: 浙大光电技术开发公司), was the second largest shareholder, for 19.44% stake. After 1996 capital increase, Yuyao Optoelectronic owned 51.06% shares of Zhonglida. Zhonglida was renamed to Zhejiang Sunny Limited (Chinese: 浙江舜宇有限公司; pinyin: Zhèjiāng shùnyǔ yǒuxiàn gōngsī) in April 2000. Yuyao Optoelectronic ceased to be the parent company of Zhejiang Sunny in April 2000, sold 51.06% shares of Zhejiang Sunny to the aforementioned Staff Shareholding Committee. Zhejiang Sunny was renamed to Sunny Group Limited (Chinese: 舜宇集团有限公司) in May 2000. According to media, Wang Wenjian was the founder of the factory in 1984. As of 2018, Wang Wenjian was a Non-Executive Director and the Honorary Chairman of the listed company. Wang Wenjian has no relation to Wang Wenjie (Chinese: 王文杰), an executive director and Standing Vice-president of the company.

Sunny Optical Technology (Group) The current holding company of the group, Sunny Optical Technology (Group) Company Limited, was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 21 September 2006, as an exempted company. Sunny Optical became a listed company in 2007. It became a component of the blue-chip index the Hang Seng Index in 2017. As of 2019, Citigroup analysts stated that Sunny Optical was not interested in joining Apple's supply chain, "given its focus on China brands and Samsung so far[.]". It was rumoured that Sunny passed the qualification to be Apple's supplier for 2020. Sunny was listed on Apple's supplier list for 2022.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Sunny Optical

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Sunny Optical claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Sunny Optical before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Sunny Optical ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Sunny Optical

In research: Sunny Optical appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Sunny Optical in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Sunny Optical is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2007 initial public offerings, Chinese companies established in 2006, Civilian-run enterprises of China, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Sunny Optical outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
