About Ambilight

Ambilight Inc., also known as Guangyi Technology (光羿科技), is a specialty chemical company that develops and manufactures flexible electrochromic (EC) films. Founded in 2017 with operations in Silicon Valley, Shenzhen, and Indiana, the company aims to redefine the way people interact with glass by controlling light and heat through transparent media. The founding team includes experts in the field, such as Chao Wang, who serves as CEO, and individuals with backgrounds from institutions like Stanford University and Tsinghua University.

The company's business model revolves around the research, development, and mass production of its third-generation flexible solid-state electrochromic film technology. This technology represents a significant advancement over previous generations, which were limited by stability issues and production scalability. Ambilight utilizes a proprietary roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing process, enabling the efficient, large-scale production of flexible EC films on a PET substrate. This method allows for the creation of large-area, curved products, a feat that distinguishes Ambilight in the market. Revenue is generated by supplying these advanced films to various industries. The company has successfully raised significant capital through multiple funding rounds, including a Series C in November 2021 that raised hundreds of millions of dollars, with investors like Warburg Pincus, BYD, and NIO Capital.

Ambilight's core product is a flexible EC film that can be integrated into glass or plastic to intelligently regulate light and heat. Key features of this technology include a wide dynamic tinting range, high clarity with low haze (
