Chapter 840 Breaking South Korea’s absolute monopoly
Chen Xiao's visit to BOE this time was not just an inspection, but to bring new technologies and materials to his team to update BOE's technology.
So Chen Xiao came to bring the technical team this time.
After a brief negotiation.
The technical team brought by Chen Xiao immediately contacted BOE's technical team to discuss the replacement of panel materials.
Chen Xiao is very patient.
He and Wang Dong were drinking tea while chatting about market brands and quality issues.
The team is urgently discussing technical matters.
Changtian Technology's technical team is indeed very efficient, and BOE's technical team is not bad either.
The two parties quickly reached an agreement, determined the technical plan, and immediately entered the laboratory to use the carbon crystal material brought by Changtian Technology for the panel.
The laboratory is not intended to make a complete screen, but to conduct some simple performance tests on carbon crystal materials.
If the performance test can meet the requirements of the laboratory, can show better performance, wear resistance, and be lighter than the materials currently used by BOE, and is more suitable for the production and production of wearable smart devices, then such materials can be used.
The technical team of Changtian Technology and the technical team of BOE were busy planning new materials.
Google has also recovered from the extremely embarrassing situation in Wuzhen.
They began to study and analyze this wearable device from Changtian Technology.
In the end, it was discovered that there were several very questionable aspects.
Although Changtian Technology has issued a statement to the outside world, Changtian Technology's wearable devices are not connected to any supercomputers or servers, and rely entirely on their own chip computing capabilities to compete with AlphaGo.
It is seen through the live game screen.
Changtian Technology’s wearable devices are really too light.
Therefore, Google has reason to suspect that the wearable device carried by the little girl named Zhou Yuanyuan is not actually a wearable device, but a Bluetooth headset.
The Bluetooth headset tells the little girl how to go.
On the back of the Bluetooth headset.
Maybe it's because Xia Guo is very good at chess.
Or it could be a super server built by Changtian Technology using a large number of carbon crystal chips.
This seems more reasonable.
Changtian Technology’s external statements did not lie.
Their smart wearable devices are indeed not connected to super servers.
And Bluetooth headsets are controlled by others.
After receiving this analysis, Google's top executives seem to feel a little better.
It also seems to be to save the face he lost in Wuzhen.
Google issued an announcement and sincerely invited Changtian Technology to California to exchange relevant technologies in the field of artificial intelligence and the future gap between the two parties.
This is of course an explicit invitation.
The idea behind it is to find Changtian Technology to come to California, and the two parties will compete on the artificial intelligence system in a real sense.
It's not just Google that thinks this way.
Many Western media and Western technology companies that have come to their senses have also made special analysis reports analyzing the Changtian Technology wearable devices that appeared in Wuzhen.
Many analysts believe that relying on the current technology possessed by Changtian Technology, it should not be able to produce such advanced wearable smart devices.
After all, it is recognized that Changtian Technology’s screen technology is lagging behind.
After the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen.
It's not just companies like Google and Apple that are nervous.
There are also Sony, Samsung and LG companies.
Especially Samsung.
Samsung OEMs the screens for Google wearable smart devices.
Samsung considers itself to be the most powerful company in screen technology in the world.
Changtian Technology also has to admit this.
Moreover, when Changtian Technology had just released the second mobile phone Hanhai, Changtian Technology also approached Sharp to discuss continuing to use the screen, but Sharp refused.
In the end, Changtian Technology had no choice but to use TFT produced by BOE.
The moment the mobile phone came out, Samsung Xia Guo's team immediately bought a Hanhai 2 mobile phone and brought it to Samsung headquarters for research.
Not to mention chips and batteries, Changtian Technology has always maintained an absolute advantage in this aspect.
But Samsung also specifically researched the screen and found that the Hanhai 2 mobile phone does use BOE’s TFT screen.
This screen is a technology that Samsung has eliminated for several years.
It also proves that there is indeed a clear gap between Changtian Technology and Samsung and other companies in screen technology.
How long did it take from the release of the Hanhai 2 mobile phone by Changtian Technology to the World Internet Conference held in Wuzhen this time?
Changtian Technology can use the most rubbish TFT and evolve the screen into a very thin and light super screen that can both display and be used as AR and VR glasses?
This is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, with the support of Samsung technical personnel, the "South Korea Daily" also published research on Changtian Technology's wearable devices in the name of laboratory experts.
And bluntly pointed out that there must be something wrong with the display screen of Changtian Technology's wearable smart device.
It should be just a flat glass or resin material, which cannot really display the screen.
Samsung used other people's words to express its own conclusions. On the one hand, it proved that it is indeed the world's number one in LCD technology and has the world's number one strength. On the other hand, it was for its sponsors and cooperation.
Go down the steps of Fang Google.
Tell the world.
Changtian Technology's wearable smart devices may not be as powerful as he announced.
Some people say so.
Some people really believe it.
Overseas media, led by Wanwan Media, especially Western media, as well as Western technology companies, have spent a lot of time proving that Changtian Technology’s wearable devices are not actually wearable devices.
But a little girl who can play Go wears a Bluetooth headset and accepts the control of others.
The purpose is to make Xia Guo's technology companies appear more powerful at the World Internet Conference hosted by Xia Guo.
The technical teams of BOE and Changtian Technology do not have that much time or leisure to buy overseas newspapers.
During the Spring Festival of 2016, the technical team did not take a break.
Through hard work and the technical support of Changtian Technology, they finally used the special properties of carbon crystal materials to completely produce a set of display screens in the laboratory.
This set of displays ranges from 2.1 inches all the way up to 11 inches.
The display is quite thin and light, and its toughness and wear resistance are very good.
As the technical representative of Changtian Technology, Ke Jiafan, a graduate student from Chang'an Jiaotong University's physics major, led his team to conduct final tests on the produced screens.
The first test is the display effect.
The size of the screen or panel produced this time is relatively small, but its color and brightness, as well as the overall display effect, are very powerful, and the extended resolution can even reach 4K level.
The second test is the wear resistance of the panel.
This test also has a comparison group.
For the comparison group, of course, we tried Samsung’s more advanced display panel products.
The experimenters used razor blades and relatively rough steel balls to rub on Samsung's most advanced Oled screen and on the laboratory samples.
Samsung's panel quickly developed scratches, and these scratches are indelible.
On the laboratory samples, there were no scratches where the steel wool was rubbed, but there were tiny scratches where the blade was scratched. After wiping with a towel, the scratches were almost negligible.
Of course, the panel is a panel after all, not diamond.
After swiping hard with the knife, comparison marks still appeared on the panel of the laboratory.
However, such an anti-friction effect must be much more wear-resistant than high-strength spectacle lenses. In the field of screens, it is definitely ranked first.
The third test is the degree of flexibility and resistance to bending and falling.
Wearable devices are meant to be worn on the eyes at all times.
As a product for external wear, there is a possibility of falling to the ground at any time.
Therefore, the degree of flexibility and resistance to bending and falling must be tested.
This kind of test completely surpassed Samsung's OLED panel.
Samsung's OLED panel shattered when it was dropped tightly to the ground.
It can only be said that the flexible screen can barely reach the level of half bending, but it cannot be fully bent.
The laboratory screen did not break after being dropped from a height of 5 meters to the ground.
Using special means (heating) can also bend the screen to an ideal degree.
After a series of tests.
Ke Jiafan and his team jumped up excitedly.
In fact, the use of carbon crystal materials to produce screens and carbon crystal materials as storage devices are similar.
One is to use lasers to hit electrons in carbon crystal barriers to store information.
One is to use the laser strike to display whether there are electrons in different grilles and whether they emit light.
There is really no problem with performance.
In addition, there are production costs and yield rate.
Changtian Technology has more than 10 years of technology accumulation in the production of carbon crystal storage. The technology for producing carbon crystal materials is already very advanced, the yield is very high, and the cost is very cheap.
This time, the carbon crystal storage process has been improved and changed into a display panel with a flatter crystal structure.
The technical difficulty has increased somewhat, and the production cost has also increased somewhat.
But the cost is still within controllable range.
And the yield is also relatively high.
This is the advantage of technology accumulation.
Based on the results of current experiments, panels based on carbon crystal structures will be produced.
Its comprehensive cost is not even as high as re-development and production of OLED.
The overall cost rate is even lower than Samsung's panel production.
Ke Jiafan saw his team was so excited, he pressed his hands to keep everyone calm.
A test is just a test.
But adding a panel and turning the application into a real screen on the device still requires a certain process.
The technical team immediately became quiet.
Because this time the team came to BOE for technical support and the time was quite rushed.
So they don't have wearable devices in their hands.
The only wearable device was given to Guo Hongtao.
With no other choice, the laboratory had to dismantle Hanhai's second-hand mobile phone and install a custom-made screen according to the screen size of Hanhai's second-hand mobile phone.
After a week of polishing, the carbon crystal display screen adapted to Hanhai’s second mobile phone was installed on the mobile phone.
Mobile phone screens are still different from the screens of current devices.
So this time the laboratory made some technical improvements.
After installation, the phone was successfully lit.
The display effect of Hanhai second-hand mobile phone is very delicate and the light is very soft, not as dazzling as TFT.
At this time, the second Hanhai mobile phone with a carbon crystal screen was placed in front of everyone. It was not just a mobile phone, but more like a perfect piece of art.
Many technicians couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "If Hanhai's second mobile phone launch conference last year had used such a screen, and the price of the mobile phone had increased by several thousand yuan, there would have been people rushing to buy it!"
After replacing the display panel.
The display effect of the entire mobile phone has been completely improved.
Let’s compare the displays of Samsung Galaxy’s latest series of mobile phones.
It is obvious that the display effect of Hanhai's second mobile phone is better, the picture is soft, the clarity is high, and the colors are closer to reality.
Ke Jiafan immediately arranged for his team to form a corresponding report on all the procedures and technical data of the carbon crystal screen from design, development to production, and immediately sent it to Changtian Technology headquarters.
And apply for the headquarters to send samples of wearable devices.
The laboratory will test the effectiveness of carbon crystal flexible screens on wearable devices.
It seems that he is too excited, or he may hope to never see the research results here.
When sending the report, Ke Jiafan also sent Hanhai's second-hand mobile phone with a carbon crystal screen to the headquarters of Changtian Technology.
In spring, Changzezhou is full of greenery and the air is clear.
The salty smell of the sea breeze is even more refreshing.
Chen Xiao, Wang Xiang and others are discussing the construction of a group school from kindergarten to high school on the vacant land in the south of Changtian Technology to meet the educational needs of the children of Changtian Technology employees.
With the improvement of the industrial chain of Changzezhou Changtian Science and Technology Park, the number of employees is also increasing.
The Suhang Science and Technology New District where Changzezhou is located has increasingly larger companies and resident population.
There has never been a relatively high-quality school with supporting facilities.
Chen Xiao hopes that such a school can be built in Changzezhou, which will not only provide convenience for the employees of Changtian Technology, but also provide convenience for other people living and working in the New Science and Technology Zone.
Song Yi sent the BOE laboratory report and the Hanhai mobile phone to Chen Xiao.
After Chen Xiao saw the title and table of contents of the report, he knew that the team should have achieved breakthrough scientific research results.
Chen Xiao smiled and handed the report to Wang Xiang, "Can you tell me what other advantages Samsung has now?"
Wang Xiang thought for a while and said seriously: "Semiconductors are gone, and so is Samsung Chemical. Screens still have some advantages."
Wang Xiang was happy when he saw the research report handed over by Chen Xiao again, "There is good news from BOE's laboratory?"
Chen Xiao nodded and said: "Now their screens and panels have no advantages."
"Let us personally sweep Samsung into the dustbin of history."
Although the mass production of Jinghong chips is still difficult, after today, Changtian Technology should be able to establish an absolute advantage in the mobile Internet terminal field.
