Chapter 205, Sang: What is your self-developed diamond arrangement?
Chapter 205, Sang: What is your self-developed diamond arrangement?
A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone.
"Chen Mingyong, well done! I'm going right now."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mingyong looked at the engineering machine again, which was currently playing a 4K demo video.
The scene depicts the coast of Sicily, where sunlight illuminates the white houses, and the seawater appears as if a bucket of paint has been overturned...
The image is stunningly clear.
From then on, China possessed screen technology that far surpassed Samsung's.
But before that, I need to give you a little "spoiler"... (Theme promotional page)
…………
Two days later.
At the headquarters of Sansang, in the panel business unit, Jun Ji-hyun stood in front of the whiteboard in the conference room, pointing angrily at all the technical staff present.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
No one in the meeting room dared to utter a sound at that moment.
Jun Ji-hyun, the head of Samson Display, has held this position for six years, personally building Samson's OLED business from scratch to become number one in the world.
He had seen too many challengers—LG, Oriental, AUO, JDI—but none of them could truly threaten Samsung's position. In the end, they obediently returned to the LCD field.
But now, looking at that photo, he felt fear for the first time.
Even though they have acquired all the manufacturers of the most crucial OLED screen vapor deposition machines, they can still cut off Transsion at any time.
But he was still afraid...
"Didn't they say they had at least two more years?" He glared at the head of the intelligence department and cursed, "What did you say last year?"
Do you want me to repeat it for you?
China's OLED technology lags behind ours by at least 5 years.
And now?
The intelligence chief had his head down, sweat beading on his forehead.
"The All-China Federation of Trade Unions, we...we underestimated Transmission."
Although they didn't poach too many engineers from us, they emptied out related industries in the United States, including screen panels.
They directly acquired some of the equipment manufacturers we were using, and they also bought a lot of production equipment. Our vapor deposition machine factory has already received an order for three machines from them.
The key point is... it's already been transported away.
"I don't want to hear explanations," Jun Ji-hyun interrupted him. "What I want to know is, what level are their screens actually at?"
Another technical lead stood up and turned on the projector.
"We obtained a screen they leaked through special channels. After analysis..."
"Get to the point." Jun Ji-hyun rolled her eyes at him. They were already in a dire situation, and he was still spouting nonsense…
When the Transsion Panel becomes number one in the world, and everyone lines up to feed the fish, there won't be a rush.
"...The display effect is close to the level we had two years ago."
And, we...we finally found the mouse.
The screen pixel arrangement appeared on the large screen.
Everyone present recognized it immediately: this was their meticulously prepared, supposedly unavoidable optimal solution—the diamond arrangement…
However, three years ago, it was suddenly registered by a small company, and the proposal submitted by Sansang was directly rejected.
For the past two years, they've been investigating who's behind this company, preparing to acquire them, but now...
Okay, it's telepathy again.
Now it's time to settle both old and new scores.
"Besides the diamond arrangement, their burn-in control is better than our current solution."
Our initial suspicion is that it's due to the arrangement of the diamonds.
Everyone in the conference room frowned, their expressions filled with deep resentment.
It's unforgivable that a thief not only stole their plans but also their future.
"Their burn-in control is better than ours because of the diamond array." Jun Ji-hyun stared at him. "Are you sure?"
"Confirmed." The technical lead said with a forced smile, "The diamond arrangement had this effect in our design goals, and their driving algorithm is also new."
The materials, and some of them were entirely new, so we tried reverse engineering them, but the patent barriers were too high to overcome.
Some materials are also unavailable.
Jun Ji-hyun was completely stumped.
The diamond arrangement is the best solution they've developed in their lab, and there won't be a better alternative for a long time to come.
However, a small company snatched the patent from them, even though they had applied for patent invalidation before.
But the other party actually had a detailed research and development process... The earliest project was initiated in 2002, which was much earlier than theirs.
Upon seeing these technical documents, Jun Ji-hyun suddenly felt frightened.
Sansun's position in the OLED field is now unmatched, but burn-in and display quality issues have always been a major concern for them.
After all, the gap wasn't that large...
but now……
"Notify the Strategic Planning Department," he said, looking at everyone. "Reassess the strategy for the Chinese market. And..."
His gaze lingered on the legal and human resources departments for a few seconds.
"Investigate the source of the technology for the audio transmission panel. If the other party poached our people, then prepare to sue."
If they developed it themselves…”
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew the consequences.
If Transsion developed it themselves, it means the three-party monopoly has ended, and they will have to start catching up with all their might.
I'll try my best to catch up!
To compete for market share, one must resort to any means necessary, even cutting off material supplies or engaging in commercial espionage.
Anything that can disrupt their IPO process is acceptable.
…………
Meanwhile, in Shenzhen, at the headquarters of Huawei.
Ren Zhengfei was also excited as he received the data from the other end of the communication channel.
Another cutting-edge technology has been mastered.
First it was chips, then screens. One after another, foreign technologies have been mastered. It's a wonderful thing. What will be the next product?
The lithography machine... has already started, but there are no results yet in the short term.
Hopefully, we can achieve another breakthrough in storage soon, at which point we can completely close the loop.
He put down the report and asked the person next to him, "Big Mouth, does everyone over there know?"
"I understand, he's already on the phone."
Ren Zhengfei chuckled and put the report aside.
"That big mouth of a man has a quick reaction."
After laughing for only a few seconds, Ren Zhengfei looked at the report very seriously again.
"Sound transmission... Shen Fei..." He looked at the report with curiosity, "Just how much more is this kid hiding?"
Could it be that they've already cracked the storage barrier as well?
…………
A week later, CSOT (China Star Panel Corporation) officially announced:
"TransAsia Panel Company has begun accepting orders for its 5.5-inch 1080p OLED screen."
Below the Weibo post, there were also some data points.
The news quickly became a trending topic.
#Transsion OLED Panel Breakthrough#
#Parameters Surpass Sansang#
"What? Directly accepting orders? This parameter can't be fake, right?"
I don't believe it.
"San Sang didn't believe it either, but the stock price has proven everything."
That afternoon, ZTE, Apple, and OPPO sent representatives to negotiate, and even Lenovo sent someone, but their real intentions were not what they seemed...
Lenovo also wants to enter the American market, and the best way for them to do so is to become a stepfather...
