Rebirth of Northland Technology

"As far as we know, some of the equipment on this "Full Color Technology" production line is produced by their affiliated companies, and some are self-produced and cannot be bought at all."

The meeting continues.

"If you can't buy it, you have to buy it. Let's analyze them one by one and see how to deal with them.

The big boss is very determined.With reference design and without reference design, the difficulty is completely different.The gap between the two is sometimes six months or one year.

After such a round of toss, the LCD production technology from China has actually brought a sense of mystery.No one will be at ease without seeing the real thing.In order to save this small amount of money, who can stand this round afterwards?

"First of all, the lithography machine. I think if you can't buy this, you can pass it. Their lithography machine is nothing special."

"try your best."

The position of the lithography machine in the LCD production line is not very high.

"The second is PECVD, but the responsibility for this equipment is not in our hands. This matter should be handled by American Materials. They promised us that new models of equipment will be available around the middle of next year."

"You must make a two-handed plan. But this part can be made by the Chinese government. The government has a share in the "Photoelectric Scientific Instrument". It doesn't matter if you spend more money."

PECVD is the core equipment of LCD production line, which must be bought.

"The rest is the equipment related to the ODF process. These equipment are self-produced by optoelectronics. They are absolutely impossible to sell."

"Think of a way to spend money. Without equipment, you can take a few photos."

Soon, referring to the topic of equipment, the discussion was over.

"In this way, we will not be able to mass-produce TFT-LCD within two years."

There was a wailing in the conference room.

"There is no other way!"

Due to the emergence of new technologies, equipment needs to be redesigned, which takes time.After the equipment comes out, the production line has to be redesigned, plus the construction cycle of the production line.From this perspective, the completion of the new production line is at least after 1995.

————————

Due to the full-color spoiler, the LCD production line construction wave that had already begun or was about to begin in 1992 has all stopped.

These production capacities cannot be put into the market in accordance with history, and it has virtually lengthened the length of the first industrial boom cycle.

TFT-LCD products have been popular, and the final sales price of 10-inch panels has always been maintained at more than one thousand six hundred dollars, and it has lasted for more than two years!

This situation, even Cheng Yongxing did not anticipate.

Therefore, as full-color sellers, Kerui and Yueya, the profit obtained on a single LCD is much higher than the hard work of "Full Color Technology".

But the only advantage is that these manufacturers have invested their funds back to Optoelectronics Technology through the model of cooperative factory building.

The two new joint venture lines of Philip and Yueya are all finalized.

————————

The bottleneck restricting the development of optoelectronics is not capital but factory buildings.

This is totally impossible.The weather is about to enter autumn, and now it is too late to build a new factory.

In order to catch up with this year's hot market, Optoelectronics and several joint ventures have thought of many ways.

First of all, in terms of optoelectronics, optoelectronics still has a factory floor, and part of the space in this floor is occupied by equipment companies.But everything is making room for the LCD production line.This floor of the plant was given over to the joint venture line with Yueya, Line 3.

Philip's joint venture line, there is really no way for the optoelectronics side.

Zhang Yan worked very hard, but only laid down the foundations of the two factories.Waiting for their completion, at least in the spring of 1993, plus equipment installation, the completion of the production line, at least in the summer of 1993.

Faced with this situation, Philip of course was not willing to give up.

The current market is competing for minutes.Everyone understands the profitable period of new products.

The price of LCD panels, as the yield rates of several major Japanese manufacturers increase day by day, the pressure on peers is also increasing.Logically speaking, if production is put into operation one day late, the price will drop by one day.How can this be.

They made an unexpected move, that is to dismantle the LED production line!

In 1991, the Philip joint venture company built a new plant on the original site of the No. 1 Radio Line Factory in the city.

When this came to 1992, the new line should have been under construction.But with the decline of the LED market, Philip's decision-making level has hesitated.The result of this hesitation is that this production line is still far away from completion.

Therefore, this workshop was simply priced and included in the construction cost of the production line.

The production capacity of these two production lines, if all goes well, is estimated to be put on the market around New Year's Day in 1993.

After all, the plant is ready.

In terms of equipment installation and debugging, I have experienced the debugging experience of the first line and the second line, and the third line and the fourth line are really only the equipment installation work.

With the expansion of full-color production, equipment manufacturers and raw material suppliers in the entire LCD industry chain are all busy expanding production to meet the sudden market demand.

Of course, there are no people who are eyeing this cake.If it is the technology of foreigners, everyone has some psychological barriers.But what Chinese people can do, we should be able to do it too.

Some companies and regions that feel they have two brushes have also taken TFT-LCD as a key research object and started tackling key problems.

At this time, you can see the benefits of the three main equipment of photoelectric control.No matter who others do it, it takes at least one year.

————————

With the crazy expansion plan of TFT-LCD production capacity, the shortage of people in full color and even optoelectronics has become more and more obvious.

Including Cheng Yongxing, everyone was busy.

There is no shortage of people working now, but the boss is not enough.An LCD line is an investment scale of 200 million yuan.There are not many people and management teams who can manage this scale project.

In order to solve this problem, internally tapped the potential, LED company personnel, equipment company personnel, began to support full color in batches.

Burning eyebrows, I can't take care of anything.

The personnel of the Optoelectronics Research Headquarters also had to be sent to "Full Color Technology" for support.

After this battle, the Optoelectronics Research Headquarters became an empty shell again.

Optoelectronics' request for human resources support, under this circumstance, was paid more attention than ever before, and a citywide selection began.

Of course, among the booming information, it is not that there is no hidden crisis.

The final failure of the Japanese LCD industry is directly related to the sanctions imposed by the United States on Japan (1994) and the support to South Korea.

As a country, seven or eight companies have shared their firepower, and they have been suppressed.Nowadays, an optoelectronic company has put this industry together. If it is not envied by others, it is simply impossible.

There are still several Japanese manufacturers in the market, and this situation can be maintained.But as long as the development of optoelectronics continues, problems will be exposed sooner or later.

This point in time is gradually approaching.
