SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Goodix has launched its new-generation GT9976 series of high-performance touch screen controllers for medium and large displays, targeting premium flexible OLED tablets, foldable smartphone main screens, and other smart devices. Delivering major upgrades in gaming control, touch performance in challenging environments, and active stylus support, the series enables device makers to create differentiated large-screen products for gaming, work, and learning.

As an early commercial deployment of the series, Lenovo’s latest Legion Y700 Wuji gaming flagship tablet and Tab Pen Pro 2 integrate Goodix’s innovative portfolio, including the GT9976N touch screen controller, an active stylus driver chip, and an ultra-narrow side-key capacitive fingerprint sensor, to deliver a more responsive and immersive user experience.

Faster Response for Smoother Large-Screen Interaction

High-refresh-rate displays used in competitive gaming place greater demands on touch response and data processing. The GT9976 series features Goodix’s proprietary full-screen parallel sensing architecture, which achieves a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) within a shorter scan time — significantly accelerating finger-signal capture and processing efficiency.

Supporting 7- to 9.5-inch flexible OLED displays, the new series delivers industry-leading touch report rates and instant sampling rates. From everyday browsing and app switching to sudden stops, sharp turns and rapid multi-taps in high-frame-rate games, the GT9976 series ensures smooth, precise, and highly responsive touch interaction.

Reliable, High-Precision Touch Performance in Demanding Conditions

To address the noise interference from flexible OLED panels under heavy system loads, the GT9976 series adopts an industry-leading high-noise-suppression analog front end (AFE) sampling architecture that doubles SNR over the previous generation. Combined with Goodix’s proprietary gaming algorithms, the controllers accurately identify valid touch signals even in complex noise environments, delivering stable, precise coordinate data at all times.

In demanding scenarios such as FPS, MOBA and rhythm games, the GT9976 series combines a higher SNR, high-speed scanning and sampling, and enhanced real-time noise monitoring with frequency-hopping technology to enable faster tap response and stable multi-finger control without jitter or drift. This improves responsiveness and tracking accuracy for pixel-level actions such as flick aiming, recoil control, combo execution and movement.

The series also integrates advanced dual-mode self- and mutual-capacitance sensing with complementary algorithms to improve palm rejection, effectively reducing false touches caused by grip and edge contact. Dedicated optimization for sweaty hands, wet fingers and gaming finger sleeves helps maintain sensitive and stable touch performance under challenging real-world conditions.

Enhanced Active Stylus Support for Productivity and Creativity

For mobile productivity, education and professional drawing, the GT9976 series also delivers significantly enhanced active stylus performance. When paired with Goodix active stylus driver chip, the solution supports a 360Hz pen report rate. Together with Goodix’s proprietary stylus anti-interference algorithm, it achieves outstanding linearity and precision — accurately reproducing every stroke for tasks such as note-taking, fine annotation, sketching, and handwriting practice.

For flagship OLED tablets with large screens, Goodix also offers the GT7A series, which supports display sizes ranging from 10 to 14 inches while delivering the same high overall performance, further strengthening its portfolio for mid- to large-size touch applications. Both the GT9976 and GT7A series have been validated by leading device brands and display panel manufacturers, and are set to be adopted in foldable smartphones, gaming tablets, and slim flagship tablets — enabling smoother, more precise, and more reliable large-screen interaction.

Institutional acquisition of 12 million shares signals market confidence in Oiltek’s transformational SAF growth trajectory and long-term value creation potential

SINGAPORE and HONG KONG, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mr. Richard Chee, Managing Partner of Sky Ventures Capital Pte. Ltd. (“Sky Ventures”), as Advisor to the Global SAF and Energy Fund (the “Fund”) managed by Bank of China Asset Management (Singapore), is pleased to announce the Fund’s acquisition of 12,000,000 ordinary shares in Oiltek International Limited (SGX Mainboard: HQU) (“Oiltek”), representing approximately 2.797% of the Company’s total issued share capital.

An Institutional Vote of Confidence in Oiltek The Fund’s acquisition of a strategic shareholding in Oiltek reflects considered institutional confidence in the Company’s business fundamentals, its leadership position in the global vegetable oil engineering sector, and — critically — its first-mover positioning in the rapidly developing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) value chain across Asia-Pacific.

Oiltek has delivered a remarkable financial track record: a +24% net profit CAGR from FY2019 to FY2025, zero debt, RM99.7 million in cash, and a consistent dividend payout of ~52.5% of profit after tax. Its share price has delivered a 1,625% gain over five years, making Oiltek one of the standout performers on the SGX.

Further growth catalysts include an active pipeline of SAF project opportunities across the region, a proposed secondary listing on the Bursa Malaysia Main Market, and recognition as the 2025 Edge Singapore Centurion Club winner for Highest Returns to Shareholders and Highest Weighted ROE in the Industrials sector.

The SAF Opportunity in Asia-Pacific The global transition towards sustainable aviation fuel is underpinned by evolving regulatory frameworks, growing airline decarbonisation commitments, and accelerating investment across the aviation and energy sectors. SAF development requires the convergence of capital, engineering expertise, feedstock solutions, processing infrastructure, and project execution capabilities — areas in which the company has accumulated over years of operational experience.

Asia-Pacific occupies a strategically important position in this transition. The region represents one of the fastest-growing aviation markets globally, is home to established vegetable oil and agricultural industries that provide relevant feedstock infrastructure, and is experiencing rapidly growing policy and investment interest in renewable fuels and the broader clean energy transition. The Fund’s investment in Oiltek reflects this regional conviction, positioning it to participate in what is expected to be a significant and multi-year development of the SAF value chain across the region.

Strategic Synergy and Business Expansion Potential Beyond the financial merits of the investment, the Fund and Sky Ventures see meaningful strategic alignment between the Fund’s regional SAF project pipeline and Oiltek’s established engineering and project execution capabilities. As the Fund develops and co-develops SAF and clean energy projects across Asia-Pacific, Oiltek’s integrated process technology expertise, spanning feedstock pretreatment, oil refining, HVO, biodiesel, and biogas, positions it as a potential value proposition within the Fund’s portfolio. This creates a potential pathway for Oiltek to expand its project footprint in tandem with the Fund’s investment activities in the region.

In line with this regional expansion strategy, the Fund is currently looking into investing in Sarawak for SAF development.

Richard Chee, Managing Partner of Sky Ventures Capital Pte. Ltd. and Advisor to the Global SAF and Energy Fund, commented:

“We are extremely pleased to welcome Oiltek International into the Global SAF and Energy Fund’s investment portfolio. This acquisition reflects our deep conviction in Oiltek’s exceptional fundamentals and its unique, strategically important positioning at the intersection of vegetable oil engineering and the global SAF megatrend. Oiltek has demonstrated remarkable financial discipline — zero debt, a robust cash position, consistent profitability, and industry-leading shareholder returns. The recent development of the company in the SAF segment is transformational — it has the potential to multiply Oiltek’s earnings base in the future and represents just the beginning of what we believe will be a significant, multi-year SAF project pipeline for the Company. The Fund’s strategic stake in Oiltek is a direct expression of our confidence in the management team, the Company’s capabilities, and the extraordinary long-term opportunity that the global SAF transition represents across Asia-Pacific.”

The Los Angeles Publicity Firm Eyes the Wider Entertainment Industry as Roster of Breakout Artists and Label Partners Soars

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Lewis Line, the Gen-Z-owned public relations firm based in LA, announces the appointment of Jackie Trimble as Director of Entertainment, where she will lead strategy and execution as the firm expands from music into the wider entertainment industry.

In the role, Trimble will oversee talent campaigns, media relations, and press strategy while helping guide the continued growth of Lewis Line’s entertainment division across music and film. Her appointment comes as the agency continues to scale a roster of emerging and established talent working alongside partners including MDDN Records, Atlantic Records, AWAL, and Giant Music.

Lewis Line put itself on the map with its breakout campaign for ADÉLA, shortly following the release of Netflix’s Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE. Spearheaded by Lewis, the campaign secured foundational interviews with Teen Vogue, J-14, and Out, generating more than 458 million in reach. That added credibility helped secure ADÉLA her first major label deal with Capitol Records, and an O-1 visa just in time for her 2025 tour, The Provocateur.

“Jackie embodies the tenacity that Lewis Line has been built upon,” says Charlie Lewis, Founder of Lewis Line. “She is relentless and genuinely cares about the clients we work with. Bringing her onto our leadership team during this expansion is critical to our ability to continue to deliver consistent and exceptional results across all our accounts.”

Trimble joins Lewis Line from Lucky Break Public Relations, the PRSA Los Angeles Agency of the Year, where she built her career executing press strategy, media relations, and event publicity across national entertainment, consumer, and advocacy campaigns. Over the last half decade the UCLA alum has worked across campaigns for OUTLOUD Music Festival, the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA), WorldPride, the TikTok Awards, Out100, Duetti, and Von Dutch, among others.

Trimble’s appointment marks a full-circle moment for the agency. She and Lewis first crossed paths at the start of their careers at Fingerprint Communications, the boutique firm led by Jessica Meisels, a protégé of prominent publicist Lizzie Grubman. One of Lewis Line’s founding clients was the daughter of Paul Schindler, the entertainment attorney who co-founded Grubman Indursky & Schindler, P.C. alongside Lizzie’s father, Allen Grubman. For Lewis, bringing Trimble on to direct the entertainment practice is both a professional milestone and a return to the connections that shaped where it all began.

“I’ve always been drawn to work where clear storytelling and strong execution come together to create real impact,” said Jackie Trimble. “Charlie has created something bold and genuinely client-first, and I’m excited to bring my experience across music, the creator economy, and live events to the team as we continue growing the agency’s entertainment practice.”
