Chapter 396 Full preparation

"Professor Hongkawa and Professor Hoshino, their current STN and TFT screens are roughly outside the range of production costs?"

The two LCD technologies have just been put into commercial use. To be honest, the ex-factory price sold to Casio was abruptly seen after seeing them.

The TFT screen, which is larger than the electronic watch, is as high as 30,000 yuan per month.

Just that small piece is more expensive than the high-end walkman of Hongchuan Electric. No wonder the sales volume has not reached 10,000 for more than a month.

Of course, the 30,000-month yuan includes the driver IC, so is it calculated that the packaged selling price of the SIC?

"The cost of TFT screens is about 7,000 yuan due to yield issues.

The external calculation cost of driver IC is no 2,000 monthly yuan, and the two can basically be controlled outside 10,000 monthly yuan after matching."

The yield rate of less than 30% is too low, which has more than doubled the production cost of LCD factories.

Of course, Hideki Hongkawa and Hideo Hono have been constantly improving their processes, and it is expected that they will increase by about 7 or 8% in a few months.

The process of TFT using photolithography technology on glass substrates is very immature in terms of phase errors.

If you want to improve the yield, you can get it bit by bit. Of course, in addition to the equipment, if the process can make greater progress, the yield will also increase faster.

Hongchuan Feng silently calculated one east, if calculated at a cost of 10,000 yuan.

The ex-factory price of 30,000 yuan should also be 15,000 yuan in initial profit.

Tsk, although the things are not big, the profit is considerable.

If there is a strife, the shipment volume is really small, otherwise it can be said that it is a gold medal.

"Where is the STN screen? Is there any way to improve its yield?" If Hongchuan Kai remembers correctly, the STN screen technology is much simpler.

"They are confident that they will increase the yield to 60% in half a year."

STN does not involve lithography technology, and this alone destined to make its process improvement much simpler than TFT.

But whether it is to improve its response speed and increase the pixel magnification, the process is much more complicated than when it was first shown to Hongchuan Feng.

Not to mention various polarizers and filters, the driving IC performance is not much different from that of TFTs.

However, the cost of No. 1 is much lower than the latter, which is about 2,000 yuan, which is less than 5,000 yuan in total.

The shipment price of STN to Casio is 14,000 yuan per month, and the SIC can make a profit of about 8,000 yuan per month.

If shipments are coming, it is not difficult to make the initial profit exceeding the former.

"Their main efforts in the East are to improve yields and save costs.

As for the research and development of larger TFT screens, you can just follow the steps and don’t need to rush it.”

"Hai" Hongkawa Hideki and Hono Hideo both nodded to express Akira.

At the same time, they also admire Hongchuan Kaishi's rationality. Their boss did not invest in the research and development of the Dongyi phase regardless of cost because of the hot speculation of TFT screens in the outside world.

The technical difficulty of TFT is much more complicated than expected. Materials and equipment restrict its technological progress.

It is not undeniable that those problems can be solved by spending money. If you want to achieve a relatively large breakthrough, you need to make progress in the entire industrial chain.

Hongchuan Feng was also not sure what was going on, so he didn't rush to develop a larger-sized TFT screen.

If the problem is so easy to solve, it would not be until the millennium that it began to apply TFT technology on a large scale.

Now that Toshiba companies are rushing into the TFT-LCD field, they are developing large 14-inch displays.

Because of their ambitions, Hongchuan Kai is really not optimistic.

If nothing unexpected happens, after investing in Zibo for several consecutive years, there are few companies that can really stick to Donglai Coco.

After discussing the future LCD development plan with Hideki Hongkawa and others, Kaedawa again found Masato Shima and Hitaro Nakajima.

Regarding the reminder that Prince Akihito was wrong, Hongchuan Kaishi also told them the general situation.

Of course, there is no need to mention the source of the news in such detail, he is not clear about the truth.

"Senior Brother Nakajima, Shimasan, is the situation probably like that? Do we have any ideas?"

To brainstorm, Hongchuan Kaede also wants to hear their opinions.

As expected, regardless of whether Nakajima Hitaro or Masaki Shima, they all fell into deep thought with a serious expression.

They are very clear-headed. If the Ministry of Trade and Industry forced the SIC to disclose chip architecture technology, then the latter would really have no good idea.

Ten years ago, the province of Tong Industry could organize several semiconductor companies to jointly overcome DRAM technology, and it was not entirely up to the interests to maintain it.

I would like to say that I didn’t use any leg segments, but Hongkawa Kaede doesn’t believe it. Otherwise, NEC wouldn’t have taken out his own technology and contributed it to the VLSI Institute.

No, there is no need for any special leg section. Just need to go to the industry and the province, and I believe there is no need to let the nuclear disease move the casket and the sket and the sket and the sket and the sket and the sket and the sket and the sket and the sket and the sket and the sket and the sket and the sket and the sket and the sket and the

In the face of the state machine, any resistance is not enough to be a chariot.

By asking for policies that are slightly tilted, or just a few tickets are issued, a company can slowly die.

There are too many articles to do. Even if you are a NEC, you have to bow your head, not to mention the SIC that has not grown up now.

Seeing that they all looked serious but had no constructive suggestions, Hongkawa Kaede sighed secretly.

That was not beyond his expectations. If ordinary people hear such news, they may not even have the intention to resist.

They can keep calm, which is pretty good.

"That's it." Hongchuan Feng knocked on the table and attracted their attention. "Nakashima Shixin Tuoyumiya, mobilized all our connections to go to Tongsheng and ask for information.

If you can put some pressure on Tongsheng Savings, it is best to have a good time.

Is it the same there? He will contact all those who can speak and go to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to lobby.

Their purpose is to dispel the production and the province of production and the idea of ​​letting SICs disclose technology. Their purpose is one, so why not delay it!”

"Drag?" Nakajima Heitaro and Masatoshima looked at Hongkawa Kaedi in surprise.

"If you are right, do you delay it. Compared to forcing the Ministry of Industry and Industry to give up its original idea, the goal of "dragging" is easier to achieve.

In addition, things were not so bad. As far as he knew, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce was considering it, and he did not really intend to let them disclose their technology."

Is that the only good news now? Otherwise, Dongda would have really ordered like that. Hongchuan Kaishi no longer needs to discuss it now, just execute it obediently.

I heard that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is very researching, and the eyes of Hitaro Nakajima and others lit up.

If they can really give it a try if they are going to interfere with their decision and delay progress.

After all, such a decision cannot be decided by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. It is necessary to get a meeting to discuss whether it is necessary.

If you ask for a meeting to discuss, there is a way. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to find a few congressmen as messengers.

In short, it’s best to make that matter look bad. If it doesn’t make it bad for a year or two, it can be considered as a goal.

Hongchuan Feng didn’t have the same idea. Hongchuan Electric has given so many benefits in those years. Now those members who have taken the money should contribute Yidong’s own influence.

"In addition to those measures, in the matter of Sinarod Semiconductor, do you think it is feasible?"

There is no way to drag it out, but in other aspects, Hongchuan Kai is also actively seeking a way out.

"In terms of principle, there is no problem. Especially in terms of property rights protection, it is more reliable than Neon."

As for technical authorization, Shimama Li has seen more in Silicon Valley. It is very common in Beimi, and it will become more and more common in the international community in the future.

"Okay, then contact the wrong party immediately and reach the contract as soon as possible." Hongchuan Kaido decided to make the decision, and it would not be too late.

"In addition to Arnold, if there are other Beimi companies consulting, they will also actively contact you."

Why did Hongchuan Feng change his previous hesitation and began to consider relaxing his authorization?

Then why is he considering the worst plan?

If the Ministry of Trade and Industry Orders, it will mean that the SIC cannot protect its own technology.

Since that’s the case, just license the chip to other companies before that and earn the licensing fee first.

If the operation is good, maybe SIC will earn the authorization fee in the future.

Otherwise, once the technology is lost, it will be difficult to talk about authorization at that time.

There are a few potential competition in Neon instantly. Can they be indifferent to watching SIC make money?

Hongchuan Kaishi was wrong about their moral integrity and expressed doubts.

Of course, everything we have done is not auxiliary work. Neon, Hongkawa Kaede is very prepared to visit the two semiconductor giants, Ichito Tsukiri and Toshiba.

He has some big business and wants to talk to them.

Everyone will contribute to Neon's economy. Isn't it bad to make such a big deal?

In addition to the shock caused by the TV leg watch in July, Neon in July also released its new generation of audio-visual products at the end of that month.

For example, the improved portable CD machine, as expected at the beginning of the year, had disappeared.

Not only that, the thickness is in the case of the portable CD machine, but it is only 27mm away.

At the same time, compared with the weight of 600g in the first generation, the new generation D-02 has about 500g.
