Taipei – September 09, 2026 -- A new DIGITIMES Intelligence report finds that BYD's Xuanji A3 smart-driving system-on-chip has entered scaled production on a 4nm automotive-grade process, marking the culmination of a semiconductor strategy the company began building more than two decades ago.

BYD's chip roadmap moved from power devices to 4nm smart-driving silicon

BYD's semiconductor efforts started with IGBT and silicon carbide (SiC) power devices for electric-vehicle control systems, according to the report. That foundation has since expanded into higher-compute automotive SoCs, positioning the Xuanji A3 as a flagship product of a vertically integrated manufacturing model spanning chip design, wafer fabrication and mass production across multiple in-house fabs.

Shenzhen – September 09, 2026 -- INFiLED completed a new digital wayfinding installation at Shenzhen North Railway Station in June 2026, deploying its GeminiLED Series at key passenger circulation points as the company expands LED display deployment across China's rail network.

Dual-sided display targets converging passenger flows at major interchange

Shenzhen North combines high-speed rail with three metro lines, generating passenger flows that converge, divide and change direction throughout the hub. INFiLED's GeminiLED Series addresses this with a dual-sided structure that integrates two independently controlled display faces within a single suspended unit, allowing content to address passengers approaching from opposite directions simultaneously. The unit carries a 25.5 mm ultra-slim profile, a design constraint aimed at operating stations where structural loading, available space and short installation windows limit refurbishment work.
