Chapter 354: The concept of plasma is hot
"Oda-san, your computer looks very advanced, and the picture clarity is almost like a movie theater!" When Sakai visited his colleague Oda's house after work, he found that the viewing experience of his VCR seemed to be completely destroyed by the computer, which inevitably led him to buy the same computer.
"No, the computer is a Pangu 1st generation dual-core that I bought for two years. Xiao Tian has always been a die-hard fan of Pangu Computer, and when he saw that his colleagues were interested in Pangu, he began to free Amway, "If you buy it now, you can start it for about 50,000 yuan, even if you use it as a VCD, you won't lose money." Of course,The screen needs to be bought separately,This is the latest Pangu plasma screen from the new venture electronics,720P resolution,I don't know where to go higher than those TVs and monitors on the market that only 480P,Of course,If you want to experience this picture quality,You can only buy the Pangu host and screen,Other computers,The compatibility is not good,And,You also need an additional optical drive machine,The optical drive on the market needs at least 20,000 yen! My monitor is 19 inches,The price is only 80,000 yen!"
Sakai heard this and said, "It's not too expensive, it only needs half a month's salary!"
"yes! It's so cheap!" the other colleagues said, "80,000 yen is even the same size color TV on the market." Moreover, the display effect cannot be compared with such a screen at all. ”
"Of course, so now I basically watch movies and TV on discs, not on TV. Xiao Tian seemed to have a sense of superiority and said, "I don't know when the TV media will reach this level for 720P quality programs! 480P rises to 720P, that's a qualitative change! Unfortunately, there are not too many film sources that have reached 720P now! However, the new venture electronics company has cooperated with many film and television companies to launch more high-definition film and television CDs!"

"Lao Zhang, bought a new computer?" In a law firm in Hong Kong, when a middle-aged lawyer Lao Li went to work, he was not only a little curious when he saw his colleague Lao Zhang spinning the computer upside down.
"No, just a new screen. I bought the Pangu generation 8 core computer last year, and there is no need to change it at all, but I used to use the screens of other manufacturers, and the shaking was terrible, which hurt my eyes too much. Now the Pangu computer finally has a matching screen, which does not flicker and can protect your eyes!" After Lao Zhang got the computer, he introduced to his colleague Lao Li, "How about looking at this screen?"
"Huh, it really seems to be a little different!" "Nowadays, the computer screen is generally flickering and shaking, and when you look at the computer closely, you will obviously feel that the computer screen is constantly shaking, which is the problem caused by the low refresh rate.
After more than 60 refreshes per second, even if the human eye looks closely, the screen feels like a mirror-like stability, and the fluctuation and instability can no longer be seen.
"Yes, as advertised, I basically don't shake anymore, and my eyes are really much more comfortable than before. Lao Zhang wiped the beads of sweat on his head and said with satisfaction, "It seems that this screen is really the right one, and it's worth the money!"
"I'm going to buy one after work, too!" Lao Li felt more and more that his office computer was very bad.
……
In August 1986, the new start-up electronics company became a trendsetter in the consumer electronics industry with its prescient innovation and correct marketing strategy.
720P resolution and 60 refreshes per second,Originally, these concepts were not valued by the TV industry and display manufacturers at all,With the development of time,It has become an important reference for many consumers to buy display screens。
Of course, the concept of plasma screen has once again become a very hot new technology in the industry.
For example, Steve Jobs told people everywhere: "CRT screens have long been outdated, and plasma will definitely become mainstream in the future, whether it is the TV industry or the display industry." Our NTV is the first promoter of the 720P concept, and without our NTV, there would be no plasma commercialization......"
Of course, Lin Qi did not expose Jobs's bragging, although it was Lin Qi who recommended Jobs to develop plasma TV. However, from the perspective of the shareholders of the new Apple company, the NTV of the new Apple company was able to sell well, and Jobs, a salesman, played a great role. The myth of Jobs is conducive to the sales of NTV and the development of the new Apple company! And Lin Qi himself holds 20% of the equity of the new Apple company, so he is naturally happy to see the rapid development of the new Apple company, the valuation continues to rise, and even, the early landing on the NASDAQ, so that he can cash out and get returns!
Today's plasma displays are indeed much more advanced than traditional CRT displays. The traditional CRT display is completely crushed by plasma in various data indicators.
In terms of cost, plasma is not very different from traditional CRT. Essentially, plasma can be seen as an upgraded version of CRT technology. Compared with liquid crystal display technology, plasma is far lower than liquid crystal technology in terms of process difficulty and cost. Moreover, the current effect of plasma display is not comparable to that of liquid crystals.
Later generations of plasma and liquid crystal market competition did not begin to divide the winners and losers until the 21st century. Because, at the beginning of the 21st century, the resolution of the LCD panel and other core indicators quickly surpassed the plasma screen. After the plasma screen reaches 1080P, it is difficult to go further in the index. However, LCD panels have broken through 1080P, and continue to challenge 2K, 4K, and 8K......
Well, there is also the application range of the panel, the plasma screen is under the condition of 1080P resolution, and the color, saturation and other indicators are even ahead of the LCD panel of the same resolution. But so what? The plasma screen is too bulky to be applied to laptops, handhelds and mobile terminals, so in terms of application range, it is much narrower than LCD panels. Just the mobile terminal market is enough to make the LCD camp invincible.
In addition, in terms of environmental protection policies, countries around the world have increased their environmental skills measures after the 21st century. The heat and energy consumption of plasma screens are far from being comparable to LCD screens. If the energy consumption is not up to standard, it will not enjoy many policy subsidies, one has subsidies, one has no subsidies, and the original plasma cost advantage is naturally gone.
It is difficult to have long-term non-eliminated scientific and technological products in the world, Lin Qi can see the future clearly, knowing that plasma leading is temporary, and the future should still be the era of liquid crystal displays. Therefore, he is ready to beat the time difference and sell the plasma technology at a good price. After taking a large number of benefits, Lin Qi used the money earned by the plasma industry to develop the technology and production capacity of the LCD industry, and in the future, he will use more advanced LCD to harvest the market!
Under the influence of Lin Qi, the development of plasma screens is much faster than in history. In the arcade field, a large 40-inch plasma screen has appeared. This kind of 40-inch plasma high-definition large screen arcade machine has become a new favorite in the arcade market, and the cumulative shipments have even exceeded 300,000 units.
In the TV market, there is also NTV, which Jobs strongly promoted, and now the cumulative sales of NTV have even reached 1 million units.
And now the Pangu camp has begun to launch plasma displays as the standard display of Pangu computers, which has stimulated the bullish market of plasma technology!
As a result, a small company with a market value of only 20 million in the Hong Kong stock market suddenly changed its name and added the word plasma to the name, and in just a few days, the market value rose tenfold, and the next year will rise to 150 times, and the market value bubble noodles have blown up to 3 billion yuan, but in fact, this inexplicable company is only a part of the plastic packaging bags supplied to the new entrepreneurial department, and the annual business transactions involve less than one million yuan.
In addition, the markets of the United States, Europe, Japan and South Korea and other countries have also appeared a bunch of plasma concepts, and some listed companies even need to swear that they are developing more advanced plasma technology than the new entrepreneurial department, and the stock price will increase.
Of course,TV manufacturers and display manufacturers all over the world,Have begun to look at Hong Kong,The TV industry seems to be because of the emergence of strong competitors,There are some signs of tandem。
In this regard, Lin Qi used a very simple method to resolve it - two peaches kill three soldiers!
On August 22, 1986, Xinchuang Electronics announced that more than 5,000 basic patented technologies for plasma display held by Xinchuang Electronics, if manufacturers in the TV industry or display industry are willing to pay 2.5% of the retail price of the whole machine as a patent fee, then Xinchuang Electronics can consider sharing the technology with the industry. Of course, for the orderly development of the industry, only 5 companies are ready to be authorized at the initial stage!
The criteria for the eligibility of the five companies will depend on the amount of royalty funds in advance.
After this news broke, the entire TV industry could not take it lightly...... Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, RCA, Philips, basically, a bit of status in the industry, all carry a lot of money, ready to win the license of plasma technology!
Because, the quota is only five, and getting this patent authorization is equivalent to seizing the future! And if you can't get this patent authorization, you can only watch the CRT display technology be defeated by more advanced plasma technology!
