Chapter 18 Domestic LCD Screen(1/2)

 Li Sanbiao took the letter of introduction, but it was not enough.

In order to do things smoothly, I took the initiative to come to the cafeteria to find Sun Xiaohong.

He called Sun Xiaohong out of the pig pen, asked her to take a bath, and treated her to a meal of stir-fried vegetables.

But he didn't appreciate it, so Sun Xiaohong angrily slapped him on the forehead, which hurt so much that stars appeared in his eyes.

Because I was asking for help, I could only endure it and keep smiling.

"Biaozi, why did you call me again?"

"Well, Xiaohong, do you recognize the leaders of 774?"

"Of course, they respect my father!"

"Then you take me there, in the name of your father..."

Sun Xiaohong immediately puffed up her chest and said proudly: "Haha, you still remember my identity, then I will take you there!"

Factory 774 is one of the largest factories in the electronics city, also known as Sijiucheng Electronic Tube Factory. Like 789, it belongs to the 156 Project in 1956.

Their direction is mainly in display equipment, including LCD, LED,

Counterattack and created a display called Sijiucheng Oriental AOC.

It can succeed in the harsh environment surrounded by giants,

Li Sanbiao naturally believes in their strength.

This time, Li Sanbiao was shocked when he saw the shipment volume of 50 million copies of Xiangjiang electronic watches.

If I don't make strides forward, the market will belong to UMC, and I can no longer reverse it by quietly growing.

He even felt that his time travel was a step too late after all.

It is impossible and too late for Factory 878 to compete with UMC for orders of 50 million chips now!

It seems that UMC's rise is unstoppable.

But not necessarily!

Because, those 50 million electronic watches that are still on order still have chips,

You have to be able to sell it!

If it cannot be sold, the order will be nothing.

As long as you launch a batch of electronic watches yourself, the price will be lower than those in Xiangjiang.

The news will soon reach Xiangjiang, which will immediately make the manufacturers in Xiangjiang retreat!

Then it is entirely possible that UMC’s order will be cancelled, and at least half of it will be lost!

Therefore, he did not go to any lengths to try to steal the LCD screen.

This time, as the acting director of the factory office, he took the factory director's daughter and went directly to the person in charge of Factory 774.

Unexpectedly, except for the deputy director of production, everyone also had a meeting behind closed doors.

Fortunately, Deputy Director Jiang is very familiar with Director Sun and recognizes Sun Xiaohong.

"Xiaohong, why do you have time to come to our place?"

"Uncle Jiang, my father called and asked me to come to your place to get some LCD screens."

Deputy Director Jiang said: "No problem, seven or eight yuan is enough, right?"

"Uncle Jiang, I want one thousand yuan!"

Deputy Factory Director Jiang said: "Xiaohong, you want to use it for production? This is not possible!"

"Let me give you a solid foundation. We still have shortcomings. The production technology is not mature enough and we do not have large-scale mass production."

Li Sanbiao asked, isn't there a celebration party this year, with many big leaders attending?

The first domestically successful news story was published in the newspapers.

Deputy Director Jiang was a little embarrassed and didn't speak.

This kind of thing happens a lot in China. Many products that have been successfully developed cannot be mass-produced.

Sun Xiaohong was a little disappointed.

Li Sanbiao would not give up and shamelessly insisted on Deputy Director Jiang taking him to see the production line.

He believed that as long as he saw the production line, artificial intelligence would be able to find the crux of the problem.

Soon, they arrived at the workshop.

What they developed is the simplest segmented LCD screen.

The structure of this screen is liquid crystal particles sandwiched between two pieces of glass.

The principle is very simple. The liquid crystal particles are long and usually stand upright. When a call comes in, they will be pushed down by the electric field, and the screen will appear transparent.

The manufacturing method seems easy. It is to coat two pieces of glass with a conductive film. This kind of glass is called conductive glass.

Then use a photolithography machine to carve transistors on the conductive glass surface.

Different from the chip, the transistors here do not form a circuit diagram that can be calculated. They are just used as current switches. They just need to be neat and evenly carved.

By pouring liquid crystal between two pieces of glass and soldering the pins, you can control the angle of the liquid crystal particles through transistor switches.

Of course, the segmented LCD screen is the simplest one, with only two colors: black and white.

This kind of screen was originally invented by RCA, a TV giant in China.

I don’t know what’s going on, it’s only three million dollars,

RCA transferred the technology to Sharp and did its best to provide training.

The English name Sharp means sharp.

The name was given because this company originally sold automatic pencils, highlighting the fact that they never need to be sharpened.

Since then, this half-dead stationery company has become a top electronic technology company in Japan.

Three months after it was put into operation, RCA's own LCD factory was forced to close down by Sharp.

This kind of mysterious operation in the beautiful country is impossible to figure out even if you don't have any brain power.

Sharp almost woke up laughing, and then used the LCD screen in its own calculator.

In 1980, it became a calculator giant, with sharp-pointed Sharp calculators now only selling for $23.

All calculator manufacturers in Europe and America were involved again.

Toyo's Seiko watches also obtained liquid crystal technology and invented the first liquid crystal electronic watch. They also harvested the world for a while and made a lot of wealth.

These were all things in the early to mid-1970s. Nowadays, Toyo Corporation has great momentum in the electronics industry, and venture capital has overshadowed Niuli.

Most of the 50 million electronic watches in Xiangjiang are manufactured by Toyo, and the LCD screens are all from Toyo.

Therefore, Li Sanbiao doesn’t have any psychological burden if he wants to get involved in the field of electronic watches.

In China, the 774 factory has only been researching in the past few years.

After dismantling several electronic screens, based on foreign technical data, I have basically independently mastered the mainstream LCD technology.

The LCD screen production line is not complicated. The conductive glass is provided by the glass factory, and the lithography equipment is developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Although the LCD screen still has some flaws, it is completely domestically produced.

He picked up an LCD screen, which was exactly the same size as an electronic watch, because the object of imitation was an electronic watch.

"Flawed LCD screen found...analyzing..."

"Dust is mixed into the production process, and the liquid crystal particles contain impurities..."

"The etching position is not accurate..."

"Solution: Optimize the production environment and screen raw materials!"

Li Sanbiao breathed a sigh of relief, there was no big problem.

Deputy Factory Director Jiang thought he was just taking a look and said: "Let's go, we are still in the exploratory stage, and we estimate that we will definitely be able to produce it within half a year."

Li Sanbiao was silent, indeed, mass production would be possible at that time.

Unfortunately, he can't wait any longer,

Because he has already remembered what kind of meeting the factory director went to.

The future economic center is adjusting to civilian use, and allocations to the electronics industry will be reduced.

New projects are basically no longer being constructed. If there are, they will provide supporting services for home TVs and so on.

This LCD screen will never be mass-produced until we give up production and keep researching.

Li Sanbiao definitely couldn't accept this ending, and his tone was very sure:

"Director Jiang, there is no problem with your LCD screen. It just needs a slight improvement in the production process. I have found a solution!"

Then, he explained his thoughts again.
