Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 636 [Full screen in the true sense]

The hot popularity that was suddenly ignited at the scene once again demonstrated to the outside world its status as the industry leader and the unparalleled appeal of being the first person in the global science and technology community.

Luo Sheng's own legendary halo, the nickname "Archbishop", has now become the faith totem of many admirers. Whether in the consumer group or in the industry, his fanatical "religious followers" continue to grow.

On the stage, Luo Sheng is familiar with such scenes, showing strong field control ability in every move.

But for a moment, I saw him sternly saying: "I won't say that Azure mobile phones are still popular from the applause and cheers at the scene, and I won't say that Azure mobile phones are the most popular and most advanced intelligence in the world. There is not one of the mobile phones, and I will not say that we are still at the peak of the situation..."

"Wow~~"

The enthusiasm that has just retreated has been ignited once again. Only the Côte d'Azur can make the audience's hearts excited by so many manufacturers' press conferences.

Well, this is a serious and expansive remark in calmness and calmness, but no one finds it inappropriate, nor does it think that Luo Sheng's performance is arrogant, but that it is self-confidence.

The difference between conceit and self-confidence is that self-confidence is backed by confidence and hard power. Obviously, no one will doubt this.

If another person can have Luo Sheng's achievements today, I am afraid it will expand to a rhythm that the earth can't bear.

Luo Sheng waved his hand to the audience with a bright smile, and then pressed the gesture to indicate that everyone was sitting down, and the audience took their seats.

After a brief opening, Luo Sheng began to say with a serious attitude: "We always believe that by providing consumers with excellent tools, they can do excellent things. The Blue Coast always puts users at the core, whether it is products, Technology, design, or service are all centered on users. Innovative technology has enriched people’s lives, enabling them to learn, create, work, share and stay healthy."

The scene has been quiet, and only Luo Sheng's hearty voice dominates the audience.

"Through in-depth innovations in software, hardware and services, our products can do incredible things for people. Today's schedule is very rich and there are many important contents to be announced, so we will not routinely show in a few minutes before the opening. Performance and financial report."

When it comes to this, the audience will smile.

But there is no need for a show, because the performance of the Côte d'Azur has been disclosed earlier.

Luo Sheng: "Then let's go directly to today's topic-Azure-5!"

As soon as the voice fell, the company logo on the high-definition giant screen behind it had disappeared, and a picture was replaced, which also straightforwardly lifted the veil of Azure-5.

The screen is three views of the flagship machine, front, side and top.

You can't see much information just from the content of the pictures, but the audience soon noticed what was missing on the front screen of the announced flagship machine.

Yes, the camera hole is out of sight.

The entire front is covered with screens.

"Where's the camera?"

"Yes, where's the front camera?"

Consumers, audiences, and media guests were quite confused. At this moment, Luo Shenglang said:

"The fifth-generation Azure mobile phone flagship product, we successfully hide the camera under the screen, yes, as you can see, full screen, 100% full screen, full screen in the true sense, from Azure-5 At the beginning, smart phones will enter the era of full screens, without notch screens, no water drop screens, and no extreme screens."

The scene was stunned for a few seconds, and it was quiet for a few seconds. The next moment the audience suddenly screamed like a tide, and then immediately detonated the audience again, applause and screams flooded the entire conference scene.

Other manufacturers who are paying attention to the live news of the press conference were stunned. An industry person who attended the conference was shocked: "Under-screen camera? How is this possible? The most excellent panel currently cannot be realized.

As everyone knows, in the past three years, the world's major smartphone manufacturers have worked hard to achieve 100% full screen. How to keep the front camera and make the screen 100% intact is driving one designer and engineer crazy.

There is almost no solution to this problem.

It is impossible to remove the front camera. Now whether it is mobile phone vlog shooting, mobile live broadcast or video communication, you cannot do without the front camera. If you remove it, it means losing consumers.

Extreme screens and Liu Haiping are all reluctant compromises made by manufacturers in pursuit of full screens.

"It is simply the gospel of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Sure enough, 100% full screen has to rely on the blue coast." A consumer off the field said excitedly.

In the end, Luo Sheng on the stage methodically introduced: "Azure-5 has maintained the ultimate industrial design level as always. With regard to its screen size, 6.85 inches, and its thickness has reached an incredible 5.45 mm, the quality is only 147 grams."

what?

Audiences inside and outside the field were all rounded when they heard this, and another exclamation came. A reporter present subconsciously surprised and said: "It is only 5.45mm thick but it has a screen as large as 6.85 inches. Now, this is much bigger than Azure-4. If you accidentally break it in your trouser pocket, why don't you cry to death?"

The screen size is 6.85 inches, which is definitely the largest among all smart phone brands on the market, and more importantly, this is a 100% full screen.

Luo Sheng on the stage also saw the audience's doubts, his expression was still determined, and he said methodically:

"With such a lightweight, ultra-thin and large-sized body, many people may be worried about the fragile problem. To solve this problem, we have to mention a new screen material technology adopted by Azure-5. It is the application of this technology that enables the design of the under-screen camera."

Here comes, here comes the black technology.

The audiences off the court suddenly had sharp eyes, which is why the audience like the Côte d’Azur conference, it is always exciting.

Luo Sheng paced aimlessly on the stage, and said eloquently: "At present, the commonly used touch screens on the market are capacitive. The working principle is to use a human finger to touch the touch screen to generate a coupling capacitance. Generally speaking, the transparent electrode material commonly used in touch screens is indium tin oxide, which is ITO material, a conductive oxide film."

"With the advancement of technology and more stringent requirements for new products, ITO materials have become outdated. It makes new products face a bottleneck, so we have to choose new materials."

"ITO material exhibits uneven light absorption in the visible light range, so the color is yellowish, which is not suitable for full-wavelength operation; low conductive efficiency, easy to cause poor product effects, and thicker, not in line with the lighter and thinner touch market Development trend: The material is very brittle and easily damaged in industrial preparation, causing economic loss and waste of resources; its chemical properties are unstable, and its heat dissipation performance is poor, and its application in high-power devices is greatly restricted; it is also toxic, Relatively speaking, it is not conducive to environmental protection. At the same time, indium is a rare element with low reserves and increasing prices, which goes against the inevitable trend of future green energy saving and market economic development."

Friends and businessmen heard Luo Sheng's breakdown of the major pain points of ITO materials, and were immediately unhappy. It is inevitable to scold Luo Sheng behind the scenes. If you find a new material to replace it, you have this attitude towards ITO materials?

Who was blowing ITO back then?When these technical pain points were not mentioned at first, the restrictions changed?

What about the friends who still cannot do without ITO materials?Friends and businessmen have to continue to use ITO materials now!

Luo Sheng didn’t know that friends were spraying him behind his back, and continued to introduce: “Our engineers have been exploring new transparent conductive materials to replace ITO materials. We tested metal grids-metal nanowires, conductive polymers, carbon Nanotubes, etc. Among these materials, the performance of carbon nanotubes is relatively outstanding, but the resistance between different carbon nanotubes is relatively high. The higher density causes the resistance of the entire carbon nanotube film to increase, which limits its electrical conductivity. It is not our solution, and there is an urgent need to find a new type of transparent material with excellent optoelectronic properties."

When Luo Sheng said this, a small group of people had already guessed it vaguely. An industry insider off the court said in astonishment: "Could it be... Fuck, really?"

At this moment, the high-definition situation on the stage released a picture with portraits of two scientists. Most people did not know them, but a few people knew that these two scientists were Nobel physicists. .

When this picture appeared at the press conference, someone already knew the answer.

Luo Sheng glanced back, and then briefly introduced: “These two are physicists Konstantin Novoshof and Andrei Heim from the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. They discovered graphene for the first time in 2004. The material won the Nobel Prize in Physics that year in 2010. The graphene material was pasted with tape by these two scientists, and many people ridiculed that it was the Nobel Prize pasted with tape, the discovery of graphene. It's that simple."

"The discovery of graphene is very simple, but the development of graphene flexible screens is very difficult. The Côte d’Azur laboratory has burned tens of billions of dollars over the years. After years of persistent stumbling, we finally conquered this technology. Because the application of graphene materials can achieve a full screen in the true sense, Azure-5 is available."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar again. This time, it was the media and the people who were shocked. In their eyes, the graphene material is a kind of magical material, and it is almost a omnipotent material.

Did the Côte d'Azur Lab get this technology done silently?Also used on the Azure-5 flagship body?It turned from shock to surprise in an instant.

The scene once again resounded with extremely warm applause and cheers.
