SMART GLASSES
Where it fits in smart glasses
Licensed by Lumus (Sept 1, 2026) to manufacture its next-generation Z-30 2.0 and A-Lens (30°/50°) waveguides; long-standing Lumus supply-chain partner and investor since 2016; $20M strategic investment in Vuzix tied to waveguide production (completed Sept 2025).
What the evidence establishes
Smart-glasses evidencePartner-disclosed: Lumus’s release licenses Quanta to manufacture its Z-30 2.0 and A-Lens waveguides; Quanta has been a Lumus investor since 2016 and invested $20M in Vuzix.
An explicit smart-glasses product, design-in, supply role, program, application page or partnership, including wrist or ring input sold with glasses. For a device maker, it means the company’s own glasses, not a supplier relationship. This does not establish revenue, market share, volumes or future sourcing.

Keep in perspective
Waveguides are a small line for a large server and PC contract manufacturer, and its glasses assembly role is press-only and not mapped.
Diversified business exposure. This describes the breadth or role of the business; it is not an investment rating. A smart-glasses product, design-in or partnership does not by itself establish material glasses revenue, market share, or future returns.
Connections to the assembly
This company is mapped at sector level. The reviewed evidence does not establish a direct match to a specific illustrated part. Explore waveguides & lenses for the broader relationship.
AI SERVER RACK
Where it fits in an AI server rack
Its cloud unit QCT made the QuantaGrid D75B-1U compute tray for GB200 NVL72 and had GB300 NVL72 L10 servers and L11 racks in system testing, targeting first shipment in August 2025 (QCT, Aug 25, 2025). Servers were 80% of Q1 2026 revenue, three-quarters of them AI servers, and Quanta plans NT$30 billion of 2026 capex to double AI capacity (Taipei Times, May 15, 2026).
What the evidence establishes
AI-rack evidenceDisclosed: QCT’s own blog describes its GB200 NVL72 compute tray and GB300 NVL72 L10 and L11 production.
An explicit AI-server or AI-rack product, design-in, supply role, program, reference design or partnership, such as a part named for rack-scale AI systems or a product sold for AI data centers. For a rack builder, it means the company’s own AI servers or racks. This does not establish revenue, market share, volumes or future sourcing.
Listed as a rack builder for its own AI servers and racks, not as a supplier of the parts inside.

| Evidence | Disclosed: QCT’s own blog describes its GB200 NVL72 compute tray and GB300 NVL72 L10 and L11 production. |
| How we know | Disclosed The company’s own filing, release, annual report, product page or investor record describes the AI-server or AI-rack role. Where customers are unnamed, the listing says so. |
| Primary source | Quanta Computer — supporting disclosure Company or official disclosure; vendor claims are attributed to their source. |

Keep in perspective
Quanta names no rack customers, and the revenue mix comes from its earnings call as reported by the Taipei Times.
Specialist business exposure. This describes the breadth or role of the business; it is not an investment rating. An AI-server product, design-in or partnership does not by itself establish material AI-rack revenue, market share, or future returns.
