"Of the nearly $1 billion Blue Synopsys hopes to raise approximately $549 million will be invested in sapphire panel production. The planned investment will give the Chinese manufacturer the yearly capacity to produce 30 million sapphire camera lenses, 24 million panels for fingerprint sensors, and 30 million smartwatch panels. A smaller portion of the capital raised, approximately $262 million, will be invested in the production of curved 3D glass, resulting in a yearly capacity of 27 million panels"

It says that Lens reported that its sapphire screen cover had passed the drop test and met a customer's specification requirements. No mention to who the customer was.

Found another source of this news and here is that translation,

"Panorama News Network on interactive platform that the company 3D curved glass and sapphire products have been verified by the customer realized quantities.
Company 3D curved glass and sapphire products have been verified by the customer, to achieve a bulk supplier"

Could this be the end of the testing process for the yield of the two furnaces? Taking it through the full production cycle?

Found the origin of the "news". It came from a social media Q&A on p5w.net. An interested Lens investor asked about the solution to the brittle issue of the sapphire screen. Lens replied with that information.
