Luminit LLC Announces Joint Venture with RiT Display for Next-Gen

Automotive Optics

Taiwan-based Luminit Automotive Technologies will develop and manufacture optical solutions for
automotive taillights and next-generation light sources for LiDAR and HUD applications.

Torrance, CA, January 24, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Luminit LLC, a privately-held high technology company
specializing in thin-film optics, will embark on a joint venture with RiT Display, a Ritek Group
Company, to provide lighting and driver assistance solutions for US-, Europe- and Asia-based
automakers. The newly-formed JV, Luminit Automotive Technologies (LAT), will develop and produce
curved injection molded diffusers for automotive taillights, as well as diffusers for LiDAR and HUD
applications.

“Luminit is a leader in microstructure mastering and the Ritek team are experts in the field of
microstructure fabrication,” notes Luminit Automotive Technology's President and CEO, Stanley Kao.
“Combining both areas of expertise with the global logistics that Ritek will make LAT a major player in
automotive lighting and driver assistance technologies.”

According to Kao, the joint venture is the result of years of collaboration between RiT Displays and
Luminit Light Shaping Diffuser technologies. RiT Display's advanced optical manufacturing facilities
will produce Luminit's proprietary Curved Injection Molding (CIM) process, a 2.5D and 3D injection
molded Light Shaping Diffuser with superior transmission efficiency for smooth, bright and homogenized
LED taillights. Luminit diffusers are currently designed into several automotive taillights and are gaining
popularity with designers and engineers who prefer the highly efficient properties of surface relief
diffusion over standard bulk diffusion.

Luminit's Light Shaping Diffusers also enable HUD Tier 1 manufacturers in the automotive market to
produce sharp and bright image-based TFT and projector-based units and allow designers to customize
the field of view of the display and de-speckle images for laser-based systems. Light Shaping Diffusers
for LiDAR beam shaping provide high quality homogenized light or custom light profiles with 92%
transmission efficiency and controlled extreme elliptical beam angle divergence as well as laser speckle
reduction.

Based in Taiwan, RiT Display Corporation is a subsidiary of Ritek Group, pioneers in optical fabrication
and nanotechnology with global facilities worldwide. RiT Display will be listed on the Taiwan Stock
Exchange in the first quarter of 2019.

Leveraging RiT Display's global manufacturing and warehouse facilities, Luminit Automotive
Technologies (LAT) will develop next-generation light sources for automotive lamps, LiDAR and HUD.
“Luminit has unique diffusion technology,” concludes Kao, “and this joint venture allows us to design
and mass produce parts for the automotive market on a global scale.”
