Countercurrent 1982

During the exchange with Ni Guangnan, Duan Yun learned about the current progress of each R&D department in detail. "This is a new generation of s tn LCD screen developed by our company based on Toshiba's LCD technology." In the laboratory, Ni Guangnan picked up an LCD screen on the experimental bench and said to Duan Yun: "At present, this This kind of LCD display has reached the final testing stage, and the overall technology is still very good. It can be used on car GPS displays, small game consoles, and mobile phone screens. The power consumption is also very small, and the resolution is among similar

Leading position in the product..."

"Good stuff!" Seeing this LCD screen, Duan Yun's eyes suddenly brightened.The so-called STN display is the abbreviation of Super Twisted ic. In the later generations, it was mostly used on mobile phones, and later it was also widely used in MP3 and MP4. However, because of its relatively few display colors,

And gradually replaced by TFT. STN is also known as super twisted nematic liquid crystal display screen.A color filter is added to the traditional monochrome liquid crystal display, and each pixel in the monochrome display matrix is ​​divided into three pixels, and the three primary colors of red, green and blue are displayed through the color filter, so as to achieve the display of color. Function, the color is mainly light green and orange. The STN screen is a reflective LCD. Its advantage is that it consumes less power, but it is clearer in a darker environment.

Poor.

Although this kind of LCD screen was gradually eliminated in later generations, it can be regarded as the most excellent LCD screen in this era.

Duan Yun has been improving this patented technology ever since he obtained the patented technology of liquid crystal display from Sharp Corporation.In fact, according to Sharp's plan, they want to use this night scene detection technology to launch a brand new LCD color TV, but because of the high price and the related technology is not mature enough, so after it is launched in China and the United States, the sales volume is not counted. Well, because of this, they finally decided to use the liquid crystal display technology in exchange for the VCD patent of Tianyin Group, but what Sharp did not expect was that before they got the VCD patent

How long has Tianyin Group started to vigorously promote DVD players in the United States? It can be said that Sharp was really tricked by Duan Yun.LCD color TV is currently a relatively popular household appliance product, but compared with traditional color TV sets, the video clarity has not been greatly improved, and the price is still very high, so there is no domestic market.
Not widespread.Considering that the current domestic LCD color TV market is limited and the technology is not yet mature enough, Duan Yun does not intend to use this technology to open up the domestic color TV market, but wants to use this technology in other areas, such as mobile phones
Handheld game consoles and on-board displays, and a special project team has been set up to deeply cultivate and improve LCD technology.After two or three years of hard work, the liquid crystal display technology of Today Audio Group has made a lot of breakthroughs. The research and development of related products such as mobile phone display screens and car display screens has entered the most advanced stage.
In the later stage, it is expected to be applied in large quantities in the middle of this year.

But apart from these products, Duan Yun has other ideas. "...Related products will be mass-produced this year, but I have always felt that we have such advanced LCD technology, we can develop LCD TVs with excellent performance, and there will definitely be very good sales...

"Ni Guangnan said. "There are already many color TV companies in China, and they are desperately cutting prices in order to survive. If we push LCD color TVs to the market, there will definitely be no price advantage. Let's leave something for others..." Duan Yun smiled, and then said: "It's not that the more projects you do, the more money you make. You may not know the cruelty of the home appliance market. In fact, I don't know much about our LCD display. technology also
I have other ideas, such as using this technology to develop an MP4 player, if this thing can be made, it will definitely make more money than LCD TVs..."

"MP4 player?" Hearing what Duan Yun said, Ni Guangnan was stunned for a moment.

Ni Guangnan obviously has never heard of the MP4 product, because MP4 has not yet appeared in this era.

MP4 is a pocket-sized digital entertainment product that is compatible with MP3 technology and based on "MEGP-4" dynamic image decoding technology, and can be "watched with you" on a high-fidelity color TFT screen. The volume of MP4 is only the size of a cigarette case, and it integrates functions such as audio playback, playback, recording, e-books, and electronic photo albums. It can also download TV programs, movies, etc., without being limited by time and place. This is MP4
In 2002, the French ARCHOS (Archos) company launched the world's first MP4 media player, and officially named it MP4 Pocket Cinema, since then MP4 has entered the attention of consumers.

The portability, large capacity and visual function of MP4 are the foundations for it to occupy the future market.

Moreover, MP4 is a substitute product of MP3 to a certain extent, and this will also become a product project that Duan Yun will focus on in the next few years.In fact, in the previous life, after a period of explosive growth, MP3 has begun to develop in the direction of large capacity, color screen, and multi-function. Color screen MP3, hard disk MP3, etc. have appeared.

Selling is a prime example.

Therefore, MP4 will definitely become a substitute for MP3 in the future, and the scale of this industry is also quite huge.In his previous life, Duan Yun had an MP4 player when he was in college. This small player can listen to songs, watch movies, and read books. It has very powerful functions. He also bought an MP4 player for his girlfriend.

put it as a birthday present.

So Duan Yun is still very impressed with the product of MP4 player, so that he has been wanting to make this product for many years after his rebirth.It's just that the MP4 product looks very ordinary in later generations, but it actually integrates a lot of top technologies in this era. If it was placed five years ago, or even two years ago, this product could only stay in Duan Yun's category. print

Now, with the continuous breakthrough of new storage chips, MP3 and liquid crystal display technology, Duan Yun finally has the ability to copy this classic product. "In fact, the concept of MP4 player is very simple. Its size is about the same as MP3, but it can listen to music, watch movies, and have other reading functions. You can call it handheld multimedia." Duan Yun smiled.

said.

"How is this possible?" Hearing Duan Yun's description of the product, Ni Guangnan was in disbelief. "Technology is used to realize dreams. Ten years ago, you would not have imagined that there would be a product like DVD MP3, right? So for generations, the birth of a great product must first have a rich imagination, and the other is to dare to Try it, we can take it step by step, and one day we will make such a product." Duan Yun said.
