Honor Moment | Astrace OMTD Optoelectronic Film Wins the 2025 Gasgoo GoldGear Award for “Best Technical Practice Application”

On October 30, 2025, the 7th “GoldGear Award” ceremony organized by Gasgoo was successfully held in Shanghai.

Initiated by Gasgoo, the “GoldGear Award” aims to “discover outstanding companies, promote advanced technologies, and honor automotive innovators.” Having been successfully held for six consecutive sessions, the award lasts over 200 days each year, attracting the attention and participation of millions of professionals across the automotive industry. More than 1,000 enterprises have applied for awards in the categories of “Influential Figures” and “Innovative Technologies,” with over 2,000 advanced technologies participating in the selection process. Ultimately, the award recognizes outstanding technology innovators and industry leaders, further driving the progress and advancement of the entire automotive sector.

In 2025, as the wave of “intelligent restructuring” accelerates, China’s automotive industry is entering a deep stage of technology-driven transformation. From “concept leadership” to “experience realization,” from “innovative achievements” to “mass production capability,” every technological leap has become a test of the industrial chain’s systematic strength.

Against this backdrop, the results of the 2025 China Automotive New Supply Chain Top 100 Selection organized by Gasgoo were announced. Astrace’s OMTD Optoelectronic Film won the “Best Technical Practice Application Award” at this year’s GoldGear Awards for its leading advantages in personalized pattern display, intelligent control, and automotive-grade mass production implementation.

The “Best Technical Practice Application Award” is not merely a single recognition of innovation but a comprehensive evaluation result that takes into account innovation, scalability, reliability, and market influence.

The award evaluation system focuses on four core dimensions:

1. Technological Innovation and Advancement: Whether it addresses key industry pain points and possesses original value.

2. Commercial Implementation and Market Validation: Whether it has achieved mass production and gained customer recognition.

3. Application Effectiveness and Reliability: The stability and performance demonstrated in real-world scenarios.

4. Differentiated Practical Advantages: Whether it forms competitive barriers in aspects such as safety, integration, and cost-effectiveness.

It can be said that this is not just a “technology award” but also a touchstone for innovation realization.

At the current stage of fierce competition in automotive intelligence, this award represents not only the height of technological innovation but also the validation of its real-world application. Technologies that receive this honor typically demonstrate mature mass-production capability, reliable delivery performance, and strong market reputation, showcasing both innovative strength and industrialization capacity.

Winning this award is not only a recognition of Astrace’s intelligent film technology R&D capabilities but also a strong affirmation of the company’s strategic vision as a “world-class leader in glass aesthetics and innovation.”

Today, Astrace has once again achieved a technological breakthrough in the intelligent film field — launching an integrated dual-technology solution that combines OMTD Optoelectronic Film with 3MDT Dimming Film. This new system merges the OMTD film’s personalized pattern display and ambient-light expression capabilities with the 3MDT film’s intelligent light transmission control performance, enabling automotive glass to seamlessly switch between “light and shadow expression” and “privacy control” under different conditions.

The integration of these two core technologies allows drivers and passengers to enjoy beautiful views and comfortable experiences under any lighting environment, while also achieving an unprecedented balance and leap between functional performance and visual aesthetics in panoramic automotive roofs.

Behind this breakthrough lies Astrace’s years of deep expertise and continuous upgrading in film manufacturing systems.

Founded in 2003, Shanghai Astrace has been focusing on advanced film materials for 22 years, consistently driven by innovation. From high-end window films to intelligent optoelectronic films, Astrace has continuously redefined the boundaries of glass perception. In the intelligent film field, Astrace has established a complete system covering basic material R&D, process development, and automotive-grade manufacturing through forward-looking planning and continuous investment, promoting the evolution of smart glass from conceptual verification to industrial application.

In 2022, the OMTD Optoelectronic Film achieved mass production in the GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard OEM project, becoming the world’s first intelligent film product to reach front-loading cooperation with an automaker. Astrace has since established partnerships with BMW, AITO, BYD, and other OEMs, earning high recognition from both domestic and international automakers and supply chain partners for its stable and reliable performance.

The ultimate meaning of technological innovation lies in creating universal value. From concept to product, from research and development to mass production, Astrace continues to prove through practice that Chinese enterprises are equally capable of driving global industry transformation with original technologies.

Looking ahead, Astrace will continue to deepen its layout in the intelligent film field, injecting new vitality into the development of smart glass with higher technical standards and a more mature industrial system, propelling the industry toward a higher dimension of innovation and aesthetic integration.
