Chapter 133: Talent Gap
"So...... Can it be used elsewhere? ”
It seems that some people think that it is overkill to use it on the beep boy.
"That's right, theoretically, such panels can reach infinity, and size will not be a problem."
-- Theoretically.
Catherine repeated it silently in her mind.
Catherine struck the snake with the pole.
She added: "Surface conduction electron emission displays (SEDs) and field emission displays (FEDs) can be manufactured from small panels to displays over 100 inches, not only for beep-beep boys, but also for large playback devices. ”
Today's monitors are all big guys, and if it's really as Catherine said, it does seem to be very convenient.
Maybe it could be used in aircraft radar or something.
"But what about the stable dìng performance?"
Suddenly, someone asked again.
"In this regard, I can say that SED and FED are much stronger in terms of display performance than CRT displays, and they are less likely to be affected."
It was Olsen, who came with Catherine, who said this, and this new project was in charge of Apple.
"Yes, if necessary, we were able to change the screen to a touch screen, which greatly increased productivity." Catherine added.
After waiting for the talk about the new technology to end, Catherine returned to ARK's headquarters.
Then, she wrote down two more words in her notebook.
“Matrox,NviDIA。”
Matrox was the leader in 2D display and early TV editing, but it was founded in 1976 and hasn't been around yet, and Catherine is doing it herself.
NviDIA is the most famous graphics card manufacturer, most of the computers will have discrete graphics cards, and among the discrete graphics cards, the largest share is the products of NviDIA company. Without a graphics card, it's impossible to play games and watch HD movies.
For the computer, if the resolution supported by the display is very high, but the computer itself can't keep up, this is really unreasonable, since the Trilon graphics tube has been developed, it is necessary to increase the resolution of the computer.
Unfortunately, Catherine has always wanted to buy some companies, but Fairchild seems to have no intention of selling, because they are the largest semiconductor producers except for Intel. Especially with Catherine's opening up of computer standards, Fairchild's business has also increased dramatically. Although the business volume is completely incomparable with Intel, it is relative to the same period in history. Fairchild is already making a lot of money.
Catherine remembers that Nokia did have it at this time, but it was a pity that when she found out that the company, which would support 30% of the Dutch GDP in the future, they were still producing miners' boots and farm tools......
Nokia plays high-tech, that was in the 80s.
Without talent and technical reserves, Intel can only be brilliant for a while, but it is impossible to laugh until the end, although there are already many technicians to join, compared to the old enterprises, Catherine's background is still too little.
In Catherine's vision, Matrox was for 2D and video editing, NviDIA for 3D and game processing, and ATI for film special effects.
She originally wanted to set up these companies, but the companies simply didn't have enough people.
Another example is American Telecom, although there has been enough progress in optical fiber, Catherine believes that their progress can be faster, but in addition to Charles Kao, Catherine can get the research talent, there are too few. Fortunately, because of his tens of millions of dollars in scientific research funds, Kao Kun was retained, otherwise, things would probably have been a headache.
What was most lacking in the 20th century?
Talent!
But at this time, Catherine suddenly thought of George Lucas.
Isn't it...... Like Lucas, you can sign a contract with a university to train talents who belong to your own company and have enough loyalty to your own company?
With that in mind, Catherine wrote the word "Stanford University" in her notebook.
She thought about it for a moment, then gave Bruce a call.
"This is Edson." As soon as he dialed the phone, Bruce had already picked up the phone.
"Daddy."
"Kate?"
"Dad, I'd like to contact Stanford University so that we can form a cooperative organization to train professionals. So, I want to ask you for help. ”,
The take-off of Stanford University began in the 70s, and before that, they had been working with Silicon Valley, and it was precisely because of this that they had the opportunity to develop.
Choosing to work with Stanford University was a wise choice. In the eyes of the other party, they will not refuse such a favorable thing.
"Actually, I think you can go over and talk to them about it yourself. I think scholars will have more respect for the 'pioneer of the electronics industry' than for a businessman. ”
"A pioneer in the electronics industry?" Catherine was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, don't you know that it's been reported in many newspapers?"
"Uh......" Catherine didn't seem to hear at all.
"It seems that Electronics magazine first reported that they asked Gordon Moore to write a report for them, and then published it, and Moore appreciated your prediction about computers, which is that every one to two years, the number of transistors that can be integrated in integrated circuits will double, and the price will double. And then in the article, Mr. Moore calls you a 'pioneer in the electronics industry,' and that's it. ”
It sounded good, and Catherine's laughter was heard through the microphone.
"What's wrong?"
"No...... I just didn't expect to be so famous in this area......"
Catherine burst into laughter.
How will history evaluate itself in the future?
A pioneer in the electronics industry? The father of modern life...... Belch...... Maybe the "mother of modern life"?
Could it also be that "the initiator and culprit of the rise of modern warfare"?
But suddenly, Catherine came to her senses.
"Dad, how do you know so clearly?"
"Ahem...... Ahem. ”
There was a coughing sound on the other end of the line.
"That...... In fact...... I feel like I need to care for my family...... Ahem. ”
Bruce had apparently done meticulous research.
There have always been people who have been silently caring about themselves, and this is family.
Then Catherine laughed again, and there was a warm feeling in her heart, but it was not the heat of summer, but a feeling that made people feel refreshed.
"Kate, what have you been laughing at?"
He asked again.
"No, nothing."
Catherine hung up. It seems that the next contact with Stanford University will be on its own.
……
Pushed it hard...... Ask for a ticket~
