Rebirth of Northland Technology
Chapter 177: Worthless MEMS
"Yes!"
There is nothing to hesitate about this."I have some ideas about semiconductor light sources."
"Does this idea have a long history, or is it a temporary intention?"
Cheng Yongxing thought for a moment, but did not answer immediately.
This plan, at first, was just a product of pat on the head.But after so long and repeated deduction, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it is thoughtful.
"This question is not important, you don't need to answer it."
Principal Lin skipped this topic directly.
None of the people in the room are fools.
Just answer without speaking!
————————
"Can you tell me, why would you require all the rights to this new project and the control of derivative rights?"
"I've already discussed this with Professor Wang!" Cheng Yongxing looked at Wang Liguo and got a nod in response.
"I hope to use the benefits generated by this project to develop on a rolling basis, use patents to support patents, and gradually embark on a self-sufficient path in the future!"
"As far as we know, the patent of the optical fiber laboratory is still in the application process. It will take at least a year to wait for approval. When they see the benefits, you will soon graduate."
The approval process of international patents is different from domestic patents. The steps are complicated and the process is long. If it enters the national application stage, it will be even more complicated.
"Can you wait for such a long cycle?"
Patent is a very new thing, and many people are also paying attention to the operation of Philip Joint Laboratory.
Not only the teachers in this school are paying attention, but even the Ministry of Education is sending people to collect information on a regular basis.If this laboratory can be successful, it will be a good case for the scientific research and teaching system!
But, at least until now, this is a typical example of spending money, but not gains.Spend money, burn money, and it's foreign exchange!
This kind of gameplay is not something that the stretched education circles can afford!
————————
"This time the patent is different from the past, it won't wait so long!"
Can blue LEDs be the same as cats and dogs?
A surprise in the world!
For ordinary patents, you must wait until the patent certificate, because patents may be rejected.
But blue LED will not.Just publish it and you can sell it!
Of course, how much money can you sell just by selling patents?If you want to maximize the benefits, you still have to industrialize!
The early stage of any new technology is a period of huge profits!Whatever you want to sell, the patent money has long been recovered!
"Huh? Have so much confidence? As far as we know, blue LEDs have already been realized!"
"Yes, but that realization has absolutely no practical significance. Mass production is impossible at all!"
"Your method can be mass-produced?"
The feeling of disobedience came to Lin Shuqiang's heart again.This is the third time that the young man in front of him has plunged into a whole new field without any practical work experience.
"I have confidence!"
Cheng Yongxing couldn't explain it, so he was brief and concise.
The people in the room looked at each other, but their past achievements prevented them from speaking out.
The past two experiences have proved that the young man in front of him is fully capable of quickly opening the situation in a completely unfamiliar field.
They have also done a careful investigation.
Regardless of optical fiber or MEMS, Cheng Yongxing did not have any experience in the early days of contacting experimental equipment.
But that's it, after stumbling, things are still made!Where does this make sense!
"Well, trust you for the time being!"
Lin Shuqiang can only give up on this issue.
————————
"The next question is, why would you stare at the blue LED patent and give up optical fiber and MEMS?"
Lin Shuqiang stared at the young man in front of him curiously.
"Especially MEMS, many people have studied it. It is generally believed that the value of this batch of patents is very great!"
This batch of MEMS results, although the paper has not been published, has attracted a lot of attention!
The competition between the two foreign-funded companies has heated up.Even some school leaders were involved and forced to choose side teams.
Even some foreign and economic forces in the provinces and cities have been involved and acted as lobbyists.
With the intervention of such external forces, the school has paid more and more attention.The school also contacted some propaganda resources and prepared to publicize it.
Everything is ready now, I only owe the paper to be published!
"how to say?"
This is another question that is not easy to answer.
Fortunately, optical fiber sensors have a limited scope of application, after all, they are only suitable for industrial fields or extreme occasions.
And MEMS, it really goes deep into people's lives.It's better not to make up such a lie if you open your mouth and talk nonsense, saying that MEMS is worthless!
————————
But actually?
MEMS sensor related patents are really worthless!
why?
Because of time!
When did MEMS sensors become popular and dominate the world?
It's in the era of smart phones!
Because of the special needs of smart phones, this small and expensive sensor has found a place to be used!
In the era of feature phones, who uses a mobile phone to record the daily movement distance!
When did smart phones rule the world?
After 2010!
With the expansion of market demand and the increase in output, the unit cost of MEMS sensors has been shared equally.
There are not millions, tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of sales bottoming out. The production cost of MEMS sensors is sky-high!
After sales increased, production costs dropped, demand increased, and demand for special production equipment also increased.This has led to a decline in the price of the corresponding equipment, and then a further drop in production costs, and finally, the price of the terminal drops.
But at that point in time, these patents applied for now have passed the deadline!
They are not expired right now, but they can't quickly create profits.
Before the advent of smart phones, where could generate such a large sales volume?
aircraft?How many can there be in a year?
car?The monopoly of the world is over, and there is no more than a tens of millions of market.
Before there is a large enough market, its cost performance is not as good as traditional sensors.
———————
Before the smartphone market started, its application market could only be military, aerospace, and aerospace, niche markets that are not bad for money.
And these markets, small players can't enter!
The best way to realize technology is to industrialize and earn the first pot of gold.
Industrialization of MEMS?How much does the investment cost?
Therefore, it can only sell patent authorization!And patent licensing fees follow sales...
The value of the same patent in the hands of Cheng Yongxing is completely different from that of the doctor.
Therefore, at present, for Cheng Yongxing and for the University of Technology, its academic significance is far greater than its economic significance.Leave a good reputation!
Of course, this is worthless, and it depends on who it is compared with.A lean camel is bigger than a horse.It is still more valuable than ordinary patents.
But compared to LED...
Blue LED, not to mention its value, has exceeded the sum of MEMS patents.More importantly, it does not need to wait!
From the first day it was born, it has been contributing value!
Where is the light source not needed?
Among other things, the huge market display screen hanging in the stock hall is LED!
Train stations and airports all need this kind of big screen!
Traffic lights, signs, where are they not needed?
You might say, traffic lights, how can there be blue?
The first batch of LED traffic lights that can actually be deployed are red and blue lights.Because the green brightness is not enough!
