Zhou Qunfei did not invent a technology per se, but she manufactures the best in her field. When she started her first company, it was successful due to promises of “better quality” lenses. These promises were not unfounded as she has been known to always deliver quality work. What Lens Technology does is provides an essential component to the modern mobile phone. ,  The company makes the glass screens through which touch technology is enabled. While glass manufacturing may not seems like a terribly important part of this technology, one must ask: What is a smartphone without the glass? A high quality glass screen can allow for better visuals, better usage of the touch sensitivity, and protection of the inner hardware. While Zhou Qunfei did not invent the technology, she did create a scratch resistant coating that is used on the devices she manufactures. This coating was inspired by rain falling on lotus leaves that fascinated her as a child. She said that she used to watch as “droplets of water would roll around the surface of a lotus leaf and not leave any trace.” (O’Flynn, 2015)

The purpose of Lens Technology’s craft is to create and manufacture the glass on smartphones so that the visuals stay crystal clear and so that the user has the ability to use their screen with finger touch, as well as maintain a long lasting durability of the product. Zhou aims to have each and every product able to endure the typical demands of a constantly used technology such as a smartphone or tablet.
