Chapter 923: Jinli Electronics
Shen Lang's investment was not empty words, and soon Jinli began to set up a project team, began to inspect the plot, and prepared to invest in the construction of factories and the introduction of production lines.
The development prospect of OLED screens is very large, and in the market share of small and medium-sized mobile phone screens, Samsung has always firmly grasped the absolute leading position in this market.
The proportion has been as high as more than 96%, and all other brands can only get a market share of about 4%.
Samsung's investment in this area is also quite huge, the introduction and incentive of talents, coupled with the early investment in the island country companies to complete the technology monopoly.
For mobile phone screens, OLED is thinner, consumes less power, has stronger color expression, and has a higher refresh rate than LCD screens.
And crucially, OLED screens can be made flexible, so it's only a matter of time before OLED screens replace LCD screens.
Even Apple has taken advantage of this trend and abandoned the traditional LCD screen that has always been.
However, the most embarrassing thing is that the only one in the world who has mastered mass production technology is Samsung Electronics.
Even if BOE, which has the highest voice in China, is struggling to catch up with the support of a group of domestic mobile phone brands, the gap can make people desperate.
In order to maintain its dominance, Samsung does not know how much painstaking work has been wasted.
The first is card capacity, and the most important process in OLED display production is evaporation.
In order to complete this process, it can only be completed by using an evaporation machine produced by Canon Tokki in Japan.
And because when the OLED evaporation process was developed, the yield was too low due to the complexity of the process.
Dozens of manufacturers that invested at the beginning withdrew one after another and continued the development of LCD screens, causing Canon Tokki to almost go bankrupt.
At that time, only Samsung gritted its teeth and continued to place orders to help Canon Tokki continue its life.
When the company overcomes the difficulties, it can only provide seven evaporation machines a year, and Samsung takes at least five, and BOE alone can't compare to Samsung.
Secondly, in the evaporation process, in addition to the evaporation machine, an evaporation mask is also needed.
Don't underestimate this part, it directly determines the yield of the production of OLED panels, as well as the resolution of the final panel.
The smaller the holes in this mask and the denser the density, the higher the resolution of the OLED panel produced.
The only company in the world to provide such evaporation masks is also the only company in the island nation, and it was not until last year that the cooperation with Samsung ended.
But as the original investor, Samsung has always gotten the top 10~20 micron mask.
Competitors such as BOE can only buy a maximum of 30 micron grades, and the benign rate is far worse than that of Samsung.
You think that's the end of it?
Miss by a mile.
Shen Lang learned about these information, and mourned for a minute in the heart of BOE, a highly anticipated company, Samsung's sticks can disgust people to death.
Because to produce maskants, a special metal raw material, super invar boards, is required.
And this super intile board material can only be used as a high-definition screen if the thinness is below 20 microns.
And this material unfortunately can only be produced by a Japanese company, Hitachi Metals.
Similarly, Hitachi Metals has signed an exclusive supply agreement with Samsung for its products.
This means that other display manufacturers, such as BOE, have bought masks even if they have bought evaporators.
However, due to the inability to buy a 20-micron super-intile board, the final display produced by BOE will be one level lower than the resolution of the Samsung screen.
A true high-end flagship like Apple will definitely only opt for Samsung's OLED screen.
It took a lot of obstacles for Samsung to establish its hegemony with peace of mind.
Shen Lang glanced at Krypton Gold Mall, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy, what BOE can't buy doesn't mean that Shen Lang can't buy it.
Evaporation machines and evaporation masks and super invar boards are all present in the Krypton Gold Mall.
As long as Shen Lang spends the game credit, he can buy it directly, which appears in reality.
Among them, only the evaporator is the most expensive, selling for as much as 150 million US dollars.
The evaporation machines that Samsung buys from Canon Tokki are generally $120 million per unit.
However, due to the company's limited production capacity, it is only seven units a year.
Shen Lang directly purchased ten evaporation machines at one time, and other materials are very cheap, and the core is still on the evaporator.
With these ten evaporation machines, coupled with a comprehensive range of materials, it will not take long to mass produce qualified OLED screens after the completion of the factory and production line in Jinli Industrial Park in Qindao.
The site selection of the factory has been completed, and all that remains is to wait for construction, and the establishment of two factories in Kotojima at the same time will also greatly promote the electronics industry in Kotoshima.
The industrial chain that can be formed by the two factories with huge investment alone is enough for these leaders to pay attention to.
There have been many companies that have heard the wind and hope to become suppliers of Titan Wafer Factory and Jinli Electronics.
Titan Wafer Factory invested 10 billion US dollars in chip foundry, and Jinli Electronics invested 5 billion US dollars in OLED screens.
Both of these are promising and lucrative areas where a few giants used to eat alone.
Although the news that Shen Lang invested 5 billion US dollars again to establish Jinli Electronics caused many people to be amazed, it was not very optimistic.
After all, BOE has been developing for so many years, and even the tail of Samsung Electronics has not been chased, where can Shen Lang get the technology?
The core evaporation machine cannot be bought, which is the reason why many people are not optimistic about Jinli Electronics.
BOE has also waited for many years, until Samsung can not eat the annual output of the evaporator, before it has the opportunity to buy one and start the production of OLED screens.
But there is still a long way to go before catching up with Samsung, and only domestic mobile phone brands will choose BOE.
After all, the price can be favorable, and as for the quality, it is certainly not flattering.
Just a few evaporation machines, the evaporation mask is not as good as Samsung Electronics', and the benign rate is even more if you think about it.
But OLED screens are the future development trend, and these domestic brands can only reluctantly accept it.
After all, Samsung's OLED screen is good, and the price is really black, even Apple can't hold on to asking for a discount, not to mention their manufacturers.
BOE can also be regarded as carrying the high hopes of many manufacturers, and has been working hard to achieve mass production to improve its benign rate.
Shen Lang will not ignore these domestic mobile phone manufacturers, and the OLED screens produced by Jinli Electronics in the future will not only ensure the supply of their own flagship mobile phones.
You can also come up with some help to help these peers, but the price must make them feel painful.
Basically, the domestic mobile phones except for Huawei are all large assembly factories, and the investment in scientific research does not exist.
If you have that time to engage in scientific research, it is better to engage in hunger marketing to increase sales, or it is also quite good to advertise.
Shen Lang looks down on these mobile phone brands in his heart, not to mention anything else, the core technology is always controlled by others.
Including OLED screens, as long as Samsung's face is not good, these mobile phone manufacturers can only buy BOE's defective products.
Not to mention that Samsung also has exclusive foundry of all Qualcomm chips, and the top chips are directly used in its own brands to achieve strong cooperation.
This is the development model of mobile phone manufacturers recognized by Shen Lang, but there is no need to think about it without money.
Samsung's investment has already reached tens of billions of dollars, even if it sells these domestic mobile phone manufacturers, it is not worth the price.
