Foshan NationStar Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. (shortened to NationStar Opto) is a listed company controlled by Guangdong Rising Holding Group, a key state-owned enterprise directly supervised by the Guangdong provincial government (Stock Code: 002449). The company specializes in the research and development, production, and sales of LED products and their applications. Established in 1969, NationStar Opto was the first enterprise in China to go public with LED as its core business, and it is also one of the earliest LED manufacturers. After 57 years of reform and development, NationStar Opto has secured a significant position in the global LED packaging industry. Its high-definition display devices rank among the top in the global market, while its white light devices hold a leading position in high-end application fields within China. Its component products have been integrated into the supply chains of internationally renowned home appliance companies. Furthermore, its optoelectronic LED and automotive LED products have entered the supply systems of leading enterprises in industries such as communication equipment and smart vehicles.
The company has established 15 provincial-level research platforms, including a postdoctoral research workstation and the National-Local Joint Engineering Laboratory for Semiconductor Lighting Materials and Devices, with over 30 national-level research projects along with more than 100 provincial/municipal-level projects implemented. By focusing on core technologies in areas such as Mini & Micro LED, automotive LEDs, and smart wearables, NATIONSTAR has seen its products deployed in major global and national events, including the 15th National Games, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, and the gala performance celebrating the centenary of the CPA.
To date, NATIONSTAR has built a robust intellectual property portfolio with over 1,100 patent applications and 800 grants, while contributing to the formulation and implementation of 100 industry standards. Its technological excellence has earned it top national honors such as the National Science and Technology Progress Award (First Class) and the China Patent Gold Award. Additionally, further affirming its leadership, NATIONSTAR was included in the list of Benchmark Enterprises from the 2022-annual assessment for local "Double-Hundred Initiative" Enterprises and "Sci-Tech Reform Demonstration Enterprises" issued by SASAC in 2023, named a National Manufacturing Single Champion in 2024, and a recipient of the 25th China Patent Excellence Award in 2025.
Looking ahead, NationStar Opto will continue to regard serving national strategies, supporting national construction, and leading industry development as its mission, firmly pursuing the vision of "becoming a world-leading innovator in the LED industry." The company will focus on developing three major industrial sectors-core industries, foundational industries, and emerging industries-accelerate the formation of new quality productive forces, actively build a modern industrial system, support Guangsheng Holding Group in accelerating the construction of world-class enterprises, and make new and greater contributions to cultivating world-class electronic information industry clusters in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Moving forward, NationStar Opto will continue to take serving national strategies, supporting national development, and leading industry progress as its mission. Anchored by the vision of "becoming a world-class innovation leader in the LED industry", the company will focus on building a "3+2" industrial system. It will consolidate and develop its three pillar businesses-high-definition displays, optoelectronic sensors, and display control modules-while cultivating and expanding two emerging businesses: automotive electronics and advanced semiconductor packaging and testing. In doing so, NationStar Opto aims to support Guangdong Rising Holding Group in accelerating its journey to become a world-class enterprise, and to make new and greater contributions to the development of a world-class electronic information industry cluster in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
