Chapter 313: Opportunity to overtake in corners
"That's right, that's true," Chang Lingping nodded, agreeing with the boss's evaluation of TFT-1CD, but he also has his own reasons, "But the technical starting point of TFT-1CD is very high, and the FTF-1Net panel used on laptops, if you upgrade to an IPS, PVA or MVA panel with almost full color gamut in the future, will the color STN-1CD display still be useful?" ”
"You are always too careful," Lin Zheng smiled and comforted him, "No matter when it is, high-end LCD monitors have a purpose, and the simplest segment tn-1net-1cd is used in tft-1cd, which is a huge waste of resources, even if tft-1net-1cd has its own use in the future." ”
"But ......" Chang Lingping suddenly became anxious, and he opened his mouth to argue with Lin Zheng.
He is this kind of character, as long as he thinks it is right, he must stick to it.
Lin Zheng smiled and stretched out his hand to press down, and then said, "But Chang your worries are also reasonable, STN-1CD is congenitally inferior to TFT-1CD, which is determined by the innate characteristics of these two liquid crystal display technologies, and it cannot be changed, even if it is extended to the extreme, compared with TFT-1CD, there are also many defects, we can't always only make cheap products, high-end color flat panel display equipment must be done." ”
"That's right, that's what I meant," I heard my boss say. Chang Lingping breathed a sigh of relief, and touched his head embarrassedly and said to Lin Zheng, "We can't just make low-end flat panel displays." It's also easier to be controlled by others, so I thought, should we continue to go up? ”
"It's right to go up, but how?" Lin Zheng's heart moved: I can take this opportunity to talk to Chang Lingping about the future technology exhibition route of the company, "TFT-1CD technology is almost completely monopolized by Japanese companies, and Corning Company occupies 5% of the LCD glass substrate market, so it can be said that the entire TFT-1CD technology is completely mastered by American and Japanese companies." It is absolutely impossible for them to transfer the technology of TFT-1CD to us, and even if they do, it will only be when their technology is exhibited to the fifth or sixth generation. will transfer the first or second generation of liquid crystal technology eliminated by them to us, I am afraid it is still a high price. ”
Seem...... That's really the case.
Chang Lingping had to admit that what the boss said was right, these European, American and Japanese companies would definitely do this, in the current situation. They will definitely not transfer the technology of the TFT-1CD to the republic. Even if it is transferred, it is necessary to wait until they have made enough money on the first and second generation TFT-1CD technology and the technology has reached a newer and higher height, and then sell the first and second generation technology to the Republic at a high price, and take advantage of the last opportunity to make a profit.
But even if we know that we have been cheated, we still have to grit our teeth and buy this technology, there is no way, who makes our own technical strength not work?
But the money came out of the state, and the boss's company was private. That's hundreds of millions of dollars, can the boss afford such a large sum of money?
"That'...... What do you say we should do? Chang Ling Ping said.
"Isn't it okay to get around the TFT?" Lin Zheng said with a smile.
"Bypass TFT-1CD?" Chang Lingping's eyes lit up suddenly.
"That's right. It's to bypass them," Lin Zheng smiled and nodded, "The so-called display, in the final analysis, is to accurately restore the color, as long as this purpose can be achieved, we don't care what technology is used, in the field of flat panel display, in addition to TFT-1CD, whether it is plasma display technology or 1ed display technology, it can be made into a flat panel display similar to a liquid crystal display, this is right?" ”
After a pause, Lin Zheng added, "Well, the 1ED monitor, to be precise, it should be O1ED." ”
Chang Lingping of course knows that plasma display and 1ED display, compared to the TFT-1CD LCD display that is now popular, in fact, plasma display technology has a history of several decades, and even as early as the mid-8O, the American Photonics company has successfully developed a monochrome plasma display with a size of up to 152.4cm and a display capacity of 2O48X2O48 lines.
But this plasma display has a fatal problem: it can only display one color, that is, it is monochrome, this monochrome is not even as good as a black and white TV, black and white TV can still display the finished pattern through different gray scales, but this product is not good, it can only be used as a large monochrome text display, and it does not have too high an advantage in terms of brightness.
Photonics' large-size monochrome plasma display was a sensation for a while, but when the first generation of TFT-1CD LCD was introduced, the relentless market immediately shifted its attention to the lighter and more convenient TFT-1NetBSP; Although after Photonics, Japan's Fujitsu launched a 21-inch color plasma display with a resolution of 64ox48o pixels in 1993, and this plasma display that can display 260,000 colors was even selected by the New York Stock Exchange as a real-time information display in the lobby, and was hailed as the first step towards large-scale commercialization of plasma at the time, but the same, when the larger TFT-1CD LCD display appeared, People quickly forgot about the plasma of this poor child.
As for the O1ED display that can be used for close-up display? I'm sorry, Chang Lingping hadn't heard of it before.
Chang Ling usually also boasts of a very deep understanding of LCD flat panel technology, and knows the trend of LCD technology exhibitions and the situation of international LCD technology exhibitions, but today I know that he is just a frog at the bottom of the well who has been sitting in the well and watching the sky, but he still thinks that he has mastered everything, and he has a deep sense of frustration when he thinks that he is similar to the frog sitting in the well and watching the sky.
"Okay, don't blame yourself," Lin Zheng patted Chang Lingping's shoulder, "Our country does not pay enough attention to plasma display technology and O1ED display technology, and the relevant information is not even visible in China." ”
"TFT-1CD is not easy for us to follow, the United States and Japan related companies have established a complete patent group, we have no way to bypass these patents, compared to TFT-1CD, we have a greater chance of making a breakthrough in plasma and O1ED, in this way, I asked foreign colleagues to help you find some technical information on plasma and O1ED, you analyze it, see which road we take is more appropriate."
"Hmm!" Chang Lingping nodded heavily, paused slightly, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss, then which path do you think is more appropriate for us to take?" ”
"Me? If it were me, I personally felt that O1ED was more suitable. ”
"Why? Because O1ED technology can be seen from its English name,Anic1IGHT-E fan T is quite diode organic call light display technology,First O1ED This thing is a self-light material that does not need to use a backlight board,Compared with 1CD,O1ED has a wide viewing angle、Uniform image quality、Fast response,It is very simple to achieve colorization,The most important thing is that the driving circuit is very simple,Only a simple circuit is needed to achieve the requirements of light,Compared with the TFT-1CD production process, The O1ED process is simpler, and the viewing angle range is larger, which is much faster than the responsiveness of 1CD; Because it is self-lighting, not only the image is stable, but also the brightness is higher, the color is richer, and the resolution can also be very high, if necessary, you can even use flexible materials as a substrate to make a foldable display, how about it? Doesn't that sound sci-fi? ”
It's not just science fiction, Chang Lingping's saliva couldn't help but drool when he heard it, especially what Lin Zheng said at the end that the screen can be folded, which Chang Lingping couldn't imagine before: Can you imagine folding a TV set like folding clothes?
No! This absolutely can't! But now, it is possible with O1ED technology.
"I don't think I need to think about it, let's do this o1ed!" Wiping a handful of saliva from the corner of his mouth, Chang Lingping said to Lin Zheng with wide eyes.
"Don't be so excited, Chang, do you think O1ED has so many advantages, don't you see Sharp, Panasonic, Toshiba, Sony and other display giants? But why didn't they choose O1ED, but TFT-1netbsp; yes, why? Chang Lingping was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized the problem: I'm afraid that compared with TFT-1CD, the technical difficulty of O1ED is much greater.
"Did you think of it? Although the prospects of O1ED are very good, the technical difficulties to achieve are very difficult, and the amount of money required to make this project happen is not affordable for ordinary people. Lin Zheng sighed: It doesn't seem that he can afford it now.
"What then? Are we going to give up? "I just heard Lin Zheng say that O1ED has so many advantages and benefits, and now you want to give up? Chang Lingping was unwilling.
"Give up, how is it possible?" Dude finally showed up a chance to turn a corner, how could he give up so lightly? "Lao Chang, although our funds are insufficient, it does not prevent us from doing some preliminary work first, after you understand the O1ED technology, first go to build the research shelf, and then ...... Hey? Who is that guy? (To be continued!)
