Chapter 69 The LCD production line of Wanhu
Liu Hongxing crossed half of China and came to Ji (Harmony) Forest. This was his second month of work. He looked up at the fiery "Wanhu" on the stairs and felt warm in his mind.
He is a third-tier scientific and technological worker. In order to resist foreign enemies in the East, Mao Zedong proposed the strategic concept of the construction of the third-tier line, divided the country into front line, middle area and strategic rear, referred to as first line, second line, and major third line.
The people involved in the construction of the third line are mainly soldiers, state-owned enterprises and the vast number of workers.
The unit where Liu Hongxing is located is hidden in the mountains, so that even if the front line encounters a devastating blow from nuclear bombs and the spark of technology is still there, the Chinese can still stand up from the wasteland.
However, reform and opening up, the economy is in charge and economic development is centered on. Large projects that violate economic laws such as third-line construction will inevitably be dismantled across the country.
The unit where Liu Hongxing is located also stopped researching. Some people who have the means to return to first-tier cities, while others only have basic wages, one year or two years, without funds, and the threshold of the research room has grown.
In order to build the motherland, Liu Hongxing's generation can run from all over the world to the north, but when they are really idle, they are still in a state of ease.
Physical discomfort is second. Thinking about this stop, the research that was originally only a few years away from the advanced foreign level, and it was about to be stalked away by big strides. The most important thing is to worry.
However, what can the country do to focus on economic development?
The factory was falling little by little, and the equipment was aging day by day. When Liu Hongxing was almost thinking that he was going to merge with the mountains, a half-grown child named Takahashi found him.
At first he didn't believe what the child said, such as arcades, game consoles, Japan, or China. However, because of his sincere attitude and the sake of being able to come to the mountains, he still promised him that he would go to work there.
After the beginning of spring, Liu Hongxing took the train to the Northeast and saw the Wanhu Building Complex under construction.
He has never been exposed to the technology of making liquid crystals before, but the principle is easy to understand. Liquid crystal is a general term for objects between solid and liquid. When power is applied to the liquid crystal, the liquid crystal molecules will be arranged in an orderly manner, allowing light to pass through and become transparent; when power is not applied, the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules will become chaotic, preventing the passage of light and becoming black.
The Sharp LCD production line introduced by Wanhu belongs to the TN, that is, the twisted nematic monochrome LCD screen production line. There is a layer of liquid crystal sandwiched in the upper and lower layers of sodium-free glass material.
The liquid crystal of sandwich filling is not simply sandwiched in the middle, but wrapped in small grids of different shapes. If you want the machine to display the desired pattern, just turn off the specific LCD block and the block will turn black.
This is the Japanese sample researched by Liu Hongxing. The manufacturer named Nintendo directly made the LCD block into a human shape, with all his arms and legs apart. If you want the screen to display a picture, just turn off the corresponding block.
Although the most advanced LCD display technology now is to make liquid crystals into small dots after small dots, the smaller the dots, the better, let them arrange them densely, control these small dots to connect into lines and surfaces, and can form almost any desired pattern.
However, the screen made using this method is not only costly, but also has low yield. The difficulty of the control circuit and the control chip has increased by many times.
When finished products are made, the price is not the civilian-grade object required above. It can only be placed in the laboratory as a toy.
Therefore, what Liu Hongxing is working in is not to develop fine dot matrix LCDs on ready-made production lines, but also to develop a "large particle dot matrix screen" with low cost and high yield according to the above needs.
"Team leader!" shouted in front of him. Seeing Liu Hongxing ignored him, he looked at the tall building in a daze, and shouted in a stressed tone, "Team leader, Team Leader Liu!"
"Ah? What's wrong?" Liu Hongxing reacted and moved his gaze away from the red ten thousand houses and asked.
"The production line trial production is about to begin, Team Leader Mou asked me to come to you to collect data."
"I started trial production line so early? Let's go now, let's go now, don't let everyone wait for me to waste time." Liu Hongxing said as he speeded up.
After the production line provided by Japanese manufacturers was installed, the production line was smooth under the commissioning of Japanese technicians. However, when tens of thousands of households in China started production on their own, they encountered a problem almost one step at a time.
This is not because no one in China knows Japanese. In fact, there are many people with Japanese attainments and professional qualities in China.
But even if you follow the operating manual and do it meticulously, you will still encounter all kinds of strange problems.
Finally, I had no choice but to ask the Japanese technician. The technician's answer was very simple, "Your materials are not good. If you want to easily produce the products you want, you must use the liquid crystal materials and glass substrates we produce, otherwise you will not be able to get this production line well if you give you ten years."
When everyone in the working group seemed very angry when they heard the words of the Japanese technician. However, even though they were angry, the Japanese technician was right, and the domestic materials were really bad.
Industry has never been a factory or a production line. From the earliest coal-iron community to later refinement to industrial chains in various industries. As long as there is a detail in the industrial chain that cannot be controlled, it means importing from the outside and being subject to others.
All the scientific researchers in the old era who participated in the construction of the third line understood and reported to the above. Takahashi, who was in Japan, gave the highest instructions to produce them themselves.
Of course, he knew that when Sharp and Ricoh sold his production line, they did not intend to do a one-time deal. They thought it was very good, from sales to after-sales, from raw materials to product sales, they planned to pass on. If Takahashi honestly followed their pace, then Wanhu would be just an OEM factory that used cheap labor.
Even if tens of thousands of households use these facilities to produce their own products, if they touch Sharp's interests, Sharp can completely stop production by not supplying raw materials.
No matter what, LCDs must be made all domestically, even if they are of poor quality, high cost, and low yield rate, they must be made in China. Takahashi doesn't believe that with China's decades of industrial foundation, he can't even handle the raw materials of an LCD production line.
When providing massive domestic funding support, Takahashi also pointed out that it is necessary to thoroughly study Sharp LCD production lines, strive to be able to manufacture new production lines by themselves, and focus on technology accumulation to prepare for industrial upgrading.
With the efforts of project participants and the assistance of many old state-owned enterprises with outstanding scientific research capabilities, the source of LCD materials has been solved, and the process has also been modified accordingly for the materials.
The laboratory was successfully manufactured a few days ago, and today it was the production line.
