Chapter 211 Testing the Water Drop Screen

The engineering prototype with a water-drop full-screen display in front of me, except for the external earpiece and sensors that are unsightly, is very close to the shape of mainstream mobile phones of later generations, and its functions are similar. What is missing is nothing more than an under-screen fingerprint recognition module, but that needs to be combined with an OLED self-luminous screen to be effective. Now this barely processed water-drop perforated LCD full screen cannot be achieved no matter what. Of course, due to the backwardness of the chip manufacturing process and the old architecture, the performance of this engineering machine is still far behind that of later generations of smartphones. After all, it is not from the same era.

Qiao Ruida pressed the power button with excitement, wanting to see how the display effect of this water drop screen would be. After a few seconds, the screen lights up, and a familiar startup animation flashes away, and soon enters the mobile phone desktop. What disappoints Qiao Ruida is that only about 90% of the bottom part of the screen is lit, and the small strip at the top near the water drop opening is still dark.

"What's going on? Why is there no image in the area at the top of the screen? Could it be that the screens sent by BOE are defective?"

Jamel Xiao took the engineering machine, held it in his hand, operated it a few times, and then explained: "It should be a problem with the resolution. The resolution of these water drop full-screen displays provided by BOE is 2312x1080, which is longer than the normal 1080p mobile phone screen. This caused the top area not to be displayed. Readjusting the resolution of the system should solve the problem."

As he spoke, Xiao Jamsheng operated his mobile phone, called up the engineering mode, and adjusted the system's resolution. As he pressed the OK button, the settings took effect. The image on the screen went dark for a moment, then lit up again. At this time, the entire screen was fully lit.

"Boss, look, the screen is all lit up now. Don't tell me, this water drop full screen is indeed very beautiful, and the screen-to-body ratio has increased significantly. It can display more content without increasing the size of the phone. .With this kind of water drop full screen and Kyushu first-generation main control SOC, our Ruida second-generation mobile phone can open a clear gap with smartphones produced by other manufacturers."

Qiao Ruida took the engineering prototype again and tested it. He found that the display effect of this screen is still very good. The maximum brightness is very high, the colors are bright, the picture is delicate, the display angle is also large, and the frame is slightly wider, but it is still acceptable. , it can be regarded as a pretty good mobile phone screen. The only flaw is that there is obvious darkening near the edge of the waterdrop camera opening. This is also a common defect of water droplets or perforated LCD screens. It can only be optimized and reduced, but it is difficult to completely eliminate it. It was not until the later popularization of OLED screens that this problem was completely solved. In addition, the Kaitian system also has problems with screen adaptation. When there are too many icons displayed on the top information bar, it will not avoid the location of the water drop opening.

"The water drop full-screen display is already very good to this extent. You can place bulk orders now. In addition, the Kaitian system must adapt to the water drop screen as soon as possible, and the information strip at the top must avoid the water drop opening. Now that the front screen is used, the three physical function buttons at the bottom are gone. The virtual buttons and gesture operations I told you last time can be added. An option can be added to the settings to let the user choose. There is also the front I redesigned the camera, proximity sensor, earpiece, etc., and stuffed them all into the phone. It’s nothing to connect them externally.”

Jamel Xiao nodded and said: "Okay, boss, I will contact my colleagues in the purchasing department and ask them to discuss screen procurement with BOE. What about the purchase quantity? How many screens should we purchase in the first batch?"

Qiao Ruida pondered for a while and said: "We will purchase 500 million screens in the first batch. If it is not enough, we will add more. In addition, we will inform Ruida Electronics Factory and the several electronic factories that OEM mobile phones for us until this batch of spare parts is used up. , stop producing the first generation of Reda mobile phones. If there is no problem with the Jiuzhou No. chip test, you can notify the Reda Electronics Factory and let them carry out mass production. The first generation of Reda mobile phones have been sold for more than half a year, and it is time to update them."

After explaining the follow-up matters to Jamel Xiao, Qiao Ruida left the R&D department and returned to the general manager's office on the 16th floor. In the afternoon, Zhao Hongcai, the newly appointed deputy general manager, found Qiao Ruida and said, "Mr. Qiao, news just came from the R&D department that the Jiuzhou No. chip has passed all tests and is ready for mass production. But Ruida Electronics There are only two experimental chip production lines in the factory, and the production capacity is very limited. I am afraid that it cannot meet our needs."

Hearing this, Qiao Ruida couldn't help but frowned, "I was negligent. The production capacity of the two production lines of Ruida Electronics Factory is indeed not enough. Are there any other domestic foundries that can produce 28nm chips?"

Zhao Hongcai shook his head and said: "According to the information I got, only TSMC has achieved commercial mass production of 28nm chips in the world. The 28nm process at Four Star has just begun to show some signs, and Lin Mengsong, who is in charge of the research and development, was intercepted by Mr. Qiao. SMIC has just achieved mass production of the 40nm process. 28nm is still in the research and development process, and mass production will be at least a few years away."

Qiao Ruida thought for a while and then said: "Should we cooperate with TSMC? I really don't want to take advantage of that white-eyed wolf. Let's do this. Let Ruida Electronics Factory produce it first. I will go back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year. Let’s see how the construction of the Rockchip factory we invested in is going. If the progress is in time, we will hand over the production business of Jiuzhou No. 1 chip to them. By the way, how are the preparations for the annual meeting, a large-scale event with more than 10,000 people? The party must not be careless.”

"As for the annual meeting, Mr. Qiao, you can rest assured. We have already negotiated the venue and hired a professional service company to be fully responsible for our company's annual meeting. There will definitely be nothing wrong. Invited celebrities, and the party process Everything has been arranged, and the total cost is about 400 million."

"Okay then, go ahead and do your work. I'll be looking for you if I need anything."

After sending Zhao Hongcai away, Qiao Ruida sat back at her desk, turned on her computer, and opened a design drawing that had been dusty for a long time. The next moment, a brand new smartphone appeared on the screen. The front of the phone was a 6-inch full-screen water droplet. The frame was made of metal, with a shiny surface turned by turning, and the four corners were rounded and trimmed. The back is still the same as the first generation mobile phone of Reda, with a glass frame, but the number of cameras has been increased to two, located in the upper left corner of the fuselage. In addition, there is a circular opening in the middle and upper part for installing the fingerprint recognition module.
