Because Lin Chen from his previous life knows that the fourth generation IPS-Pro screen is not the final destination. There are still many areas for improvement in this fourth generation IPS-Pro screen.
In the previous generation of IPS screens, in addition to the fourth-generation IPS-Pro screen, there were actually other Nano IPS improved models, Fast IPS improved models, IPS Black improved models, etc.
Since Lin Chen from the previous life knew how others reached the end, he naturally would not pretend not to know.
Although Lin Chen didn't know much about the technical details, but with the R&D ideas and the direction of progress, everything would be easy to say.
Therefore, Lin Chen, who knew the future, also directly followed the direction that others had succeeded in, and eventually developed a new IPS screen technology that knew the way forward.
As for the way forward, Sugon Technology directly chose to develop its own screen by combining the advantages of the previous Nano IPS screen and Fast IPS screen.
Among them, the advantage of Fast IPS screen is that the response speed is super fast. The response speed can reach more than 4 times that of ordinary IPS. In theory, it can even achieve a delay speed of 1ms!
The principle of the Fast IPS screen has been improved through process improvements to make the panel thinner and lighter. At the same time, through improvements in the panel voltage operating machine, the response speed is faster.
As for another advantage of the Nano IPS screen, it has better color performance and wider color gamut coverage.
In short, the Fast IPS screen responds quickly, and the Nano IPS screen has better color performance.
Among them, the Nano IPS screen that pursues better color performance and the Fast IPS screen that pursues faster response are not incompatible.
The reason why the Nano IPS screen can perform such brilliant colors is that a layer of new DE nanoparticles is added to the backlight.
This new layer of DE nanoparticles can absorb excessive light waves, forming a gb-r-led light source effect. The final screen color performance is so vivid and beautiful that it is eye-catching.
So one is to improve the panel to make it thinner, and the other is to add new DE nanoparticles to the backlight. There is actually no serious conflict between the two.
The reason why the advantages of the two were not summarized in the previous life is that first of all, these improved IPS screen technologies were born in 2017 and 2019.
This is quite close to the time when Lin Chen traveled through his previous life. It is not easy to combine the advantages of the two technologies to form a more powerful screen. After all, research and development also takes time.
Secondly, these two improved IPS screen technologies come from different manufacturers. They are competitors themselves. How can they let their opponents use their own exclusive technology?
Without their own unique technical selling point, why should they defeat others? Why should consumers choose their screens?
So it is really difficult for them to unite. After all, if they unite, they will not have their own unique technical selling points.
Lin Chen naturally doesn't have such troubles now. These technologies probably don't even have theoretical ideas now, so why talk about technology patents.
Therefore, Lin Chen naturally accepted the R&D breakthrough ideas of his previous life without hesitation.
Under this circumstance, it took less than half a year to develop a new IPS screen that combines the two improved technologies of Nano IPS screen and Fast IPS screen. It was naturally developed by Sugon Technology.
This new IPS screen is called "Sugon Super IPS screen technology" by Sugon Technology. Because it inherits the advantages of both, its fastest response speed can reach 4ms.
Although the response speed can theoretically reach 1ms, the theory is theory and the reality is that the current screen technology is not up to standard. It can achieve 4ms which is actually quite good.
Of course, in this era, the screen response speed of 4ms is actually quite amazing. Not to mention this era, even if you get the previous version, it is still a good response speed level.
As for colors, Sugon Technology doesn’t compete with those mobile phone manufacturers to play with 65,000 colors. Now the standards are different. Who can’t achieve the 65,000 colors now?
If you want to compare, compare the more important screen resolution, compare the response speed, compare the contrast, compare the brightness, compare the wide color gamut...
Among them, in terms of response speed, brightness, contrast, and bright colors, Sugon Technology can claim that there is no one in the world that can match whether it is a mobile phone screen or a computer monitor.
Of course, let’s not mention parameters such as wide-area color and contrast that are not obvious to consumers. Let’s take the pixel resolution, which is the most intuitive way for consumers to see whether it is good or not in actual use.
Sugon Technology currently uses 3.5-inch screens in mid-range and high-end mobile phones. Sugon Technology’s super IPS screen has 960x640 pixels!
This pixel resolution was nothing compared to 1080p or 2k and 4k pixel mobile phones in previous generations, but it is quite terrifying in this era.
You must know that the screen of the previous iPhone E 4S mobile phone was 3.5 inches, and the pixel resolution of the 3.5-inch screen was only 960x640.
In other words, the super IPS screen developed by Sugon Technology at this time can actually be used by Pingguo iPhoneE 4S mobile phone in the previous life.
Among them, the Sugon Super IPS screen has advantages in response speed, bright colors, and high contrast.
If the Pingguo mobile phone company in the previous life saw such an excellent Sugon Super IPS screen, they would definitely list the Sugon Super IPS screen as the only supply screen for the iPhone E 4S!
As for the iPhone 4S mobile phone using a capacitive screen, with the good foundation of Sugon Super IPS screen, it will naturally be easier for Sugon Technology to develop capacitive screens.
Under this circumstance, Sugon Technology naturally now has Sugon Super IPS capacitive screen, which is why it can claim to be able to supply mobile phone screens for iPhone 4S mobile phones.
This is the advantage and power of Sugon Technology on mobile phone screens!
At this time, Sugon Technology is increasing the volume without increasing the price, replacing the original backward TFT screen with Sugon Super IPS screen, which is a good thing and a huge surprise for consumers.
Sugon Technology's Sugon Super IPS screen has faster response speed, higher contrast, and higher wide-area colors. Consumers will surely be ecstatic by then.
Of course, this is also a pleasant surprise for Sugon Technology. Although this Sugon Super IPS screen is a new technology, the production cost is very high.
It is also necessary to pay a small patent fee to Hitachi, the patentee of the IPS screen, because after all, its basic IPS patent is used.
But because Jingdongfang also has TFT patents, the number of TFT patents still ranks fifth in the world.
Therefore, the actual patent fees Sugon Technology has to pay to Hitachi are not high. In this case, the current larger cost is mainly the production cost.
In the final summary, although Sugon Technology did not save money on the screen due to the current ultra-high production costs, it did not lose additional money.
In the future, as Jingdongfang mass-produces Sugon Super IPS screens and Sugon Super IPS capacitive screens, the production process technology will definitely continue to improve. As the output increases, the production cost will become lower and lower.
So in half a year or a year, Sugon Technology may be able to save dozens of dollars on screens and increase profits by dozens of dollars in disguise.
And if you can have your own screen production line in the future, it will be a matter of left hand to right hand, and the actual money earned will be more than dozens of dollars, and this is also the benefit of having your own screen technology and screen production capabilities.
However, this benefit is destined to not be solved in the short term. After all, if you want to build your own fifth-generation screen production line, you will have to start with at least tens of billions of Xia Yuan.
Therefore, it is not that Sugon Technology cannot build at this time, but it will take a certain amount of time to prepare funds, and whether it can prepare funds will depend on the next high-end mobile phone, the Sugon S2 smartphone. (End of chapter)
