Chapter 992 - Problems with the Display
In the end, Boss Jia determined the Daqian 2 mobile phone, and then the Daqian 2 will be mass-produced, and then the global press conference will be held in July, and then the global cloth will be delivered.
Boss Jia is still very satisfied with Daqian 2 mobile phone, so can the next new gadget be recognized by Boss Jia?
At this time, what was held in the hands of Boss Jia was Daqian's first independent research and development and production of the game handheld, in fact, Daqian was developed together with the game console and the handheld, but there were some troubles in the console, and the company's engineers were still absorbing experience from Nintendo's people, but the handheld came out faster.
In Boss Jia's original assumption, the handheld produced by Daqian should be used horizontally like a gamepad.
However, in the actual research and development process, the development team found that because the screen is too small, the horizontal screen is not as good as the vertical screen, that is, the appearance of GB, so Daqian's first-generation game handheld is still the appearance of the traditional vertical bricks, which is similar to the length of the mobile phone.
"The biggest breakthrough of this handheld is that we use a color LCD screen, the whole screen has 30,000 color units, can support hundreds of colors, up to 240×160 resolution, screen size is 2.9 inches, to put it mildly, this is the best handheld screen in the world, it can definitely kill the current GB screen, or any handheld game screen!!" Liu Nian said proudly.
"Because until now, there has not been a handheld computer that can use a color screen"
"And where did this screen come from?" Boss Jia asked with some hesitation, for the research and development of handhelds, Boss Jia has actually been paying attention to them, and for a handheld, the most important thing is not only performance, that is, the screen.
Unlike the display effect of the host, all the display effects of the handheld depend on the built-in screen, and the better the screen display, the more it can naturally be loved by players.
So when Boss Jia was developing Daqian's handheld, he gave a dead order, that is, the screen of Daqian's first game handheld must be colored.
But if you want to use a color screen, it's very troublesome.
It's not that there is no color screen technology now, on the contrary, in Fuso, there are already very mature small color displays, that is, LED and TFT screens.
However, TFT is a reflective light, and in the absence of sunlight, it is basically impossible to see clearly, so Daqian chooses to use LED LCD screens for handheld displays.
But there is an important problem with this, and that is that the cost is seriously exceeded.
You know, Nintendo's GBA released in 2001, the color screen used is still a cheap TFT reflective display, and the number of colors and display effects he can bring are not as good as the screen in the hands of Boss Jia now.
So you can imagine how expensive it will be to equip this screen 5 years in advance.
Boss Jia has read the report, whether it is Fuso's Toshiba or Sharp, just such a small screen, the price is about 50 US dollars.
You must know that a GB handheld computer is only 99 US dollars, and this screen will account for half of the selling price, which is obviously a very nonsense thing.
Originally, it was best for Daqian to be able to use his own screen, but Daqian started LCD research for more than a year, and is still in the process of technology research and development.
You know, for LCD screens, in fact, the real difficulty is not in research and development, but in the construction of LCD screen production lines, which is the most difficult place.
Because the LCD screen is an extremely delicate electronic product, the whole process must rely on the production line to execute the production, if there is no production line, then everything is blind.
Moreover, this production line is finalized, according to the size of the glass substrate used in the production line, the higher the size, the higher the algebra, and the higher the resolution that can be supported.
So what kind of first-generation line and second-generation line will the production line be called. In 2020, the world's highest-level production line is the 10.5 generation line, don't ask me where this 0.5 came from, I also checked it in Baidu, anyway, people say it is 10.5 generation.
Fighter jets have 0.5 generations, and it is not uncommon to have one in the production line.
At present, the most advanced in the world is the 5th generation line, in the hands of Sharp, but if it can have a 4th generation line, it is already the world's top screen manufacturer.
And the value retention rate of the LCD screen production line is quite high, once the production line is eliminated, even if it is sold second-hand, it can be sold at a fairly good price.
At that time, the domestic LCD manufacturers, when it was already the 6th generation line in the world, paid a price of 60 million US dollars in order to be able to get a 4th generation LCD screen production line, which was about the same as the price of buying a new 4th generation line.
However, the reason why so much money is spent, in the final analysis, is because of the international blockade, and other countries are not allowed to sell production lines to Huaxia at all.
Well, getting back to the point, although Daqian has launched a comprehensive development of the LCD screen, and because Boss Jia is willing to spend money, and there are already results, Daqian 2 The black and white LED LCD screen used by the mobile phone is made by Daqian's own 3rd generation line.
However, the 4th generation line, with the current strength of Daqian, still needs time, so the external procurement of display screens has become the only choice.
"This screen is from Samsung Electronics!" Liu Nian finally revealed the mystery.
"Samsung's display?" Boss Jia was taken aback, at the beginning when buying the display screen, Boss Jia immediately thought of Samsung, or LG, which is the world's first-class LCD screen manufacturer.
But after Boss Jia's on-the-spot investigation, he learned that these two companies do not have LCD screen business now.
Now LG is currently most famous for their petroleum processing products and chemical products, while Samsung has entered the electronics industry and has a huge accumulation of technology in semiconductors, but people are now mainly selling various home appliances, or insurance, or information closely related to life, and are committed to becoming the shadow of Koreans' lives.
"Has Samsung finally entered the display industry?" Boss Jia asked subconsciously.
"Yes! This is the display produced by Samsung's first fourth-generation line! Liu Nian said.
"You took the initiative to find them?" Boss Jia asked again.
"No, it was Samsung who took the initiative to find us!" Liu Nian said.
"Samsung took the initiative to find us?" Boss Jia was stunned for a moment, although Daqian is now one of the world's top 500, but Samsung is one of the world's top 100, and Koreans are too ruthless because their ancestors were pressed too hard by Huaxia, so they are very rebellious these years, and they are also very disdainful of Huaxia.
