Seeing Wu Hao's arrival, everyone who was busy greeted him one after another. When the two young men who were bent over their work saw him, they immediately came up to him and said, "Mr. Wu."
Pengfei, Zihua, I heard that your project has made progress. Wu Hao asked with a smile.
These two young men are both around thirty years old. Both have doctorates in optical technology. Both graduated from famous domestic polytechnics and are engaged in the field of optical technology research.
The shorter one, Sun Pengfei, also briefly worked for a famous Japanese camera company, Optical Research Bubuy, but eventually chose to resign because he could not accept its special corporate culture.
Yao Zihua, as for Yao Zihua, has been engaged in technical theoretical research at the school. After rejecting the invitation to stay at the school to teach, he joined the company and was jointly responsible for the research work of the optical imaging technology laboratory with Sun Pengfei.
In terms of optical imaging technology research, or in terms of cameras, there are too many well-known companies around the world, such as Leica, Suha, Olympus, Binde, which are well-known through mobile phone camera technology, as well as Jade, which is well-known to our Chinese people. neng, soni, nikang, rich shi and so on.
These companies not only produce cameras, but also produce a variety of lenses, cameras and other photosensitive components.
These cameras, lenses and photosensitive components are also used in a wide range of fields, ranging from remote sensing satellites in the sky, to various cameras, surveillance cameras, and the cameras we all use, as well as various digital products and our mobile phones. camera technology, etc., all come from these companies.
Although our country has achieved good technological research results in various fields, in terms of optical imaging technology, it seriously lags behind the world powers.
Today's optical imaging technology has also become one of the important areas that the West has blocked from us, and it has strict restrictions on us to this day. The technical knowledge we can use is strictly restricted to civilian technologies on the ordinary market, including some high-end optical imaging technologies and equipment products.
Of course, under such a strict blockade, we have also achieved good results in this field, such as lenses. The high-precision lenses grinded by our domestic lens manufacturers have reached the international leading level and are widely used in Among the various products of these famous camera companies.
It seems that this market is very prosperous, but in fact this is just the benefit brought by mobile devices, especially mobile phone digital products.
Under the encroachment of these new products, such as smartphones, tablets, webcams, and Wu Hao’s smart AR glasses, the space for traditional camera products to survive is getting smaller and smaller.
In fact, camera technology has not undergone major changes for many years. The current camera technology is similar to that of the prosecution decades ago. It is just that with the advancement of technology, there have been iterative upgrades. The technology is still the original technology. .
Take the most important lens of a camera, what is the difference between the latest lens now and the lens from decades or even hundreds of years ago. It's just that the workmanship is better and more lenses are used.
Take the most obvious iterative upgrade of lenses at present, the lenses on smartphones and mobile devices that we are most familiar with. In order to pursue higher shooting quality, major mobile phone manufacturers are racking their brains to continuously improve the camera technology of mobile phones.
The development of mobile phone lenses also began immediately, and new products and technologies continued to emerge. Even the pixels of these mobile phone cameras have increased from hundreds of thousands of pixels to millions of pixels at the beginning, to hundreds of millions of pixels today.
However, the photos taken are still the same, and they are incomparable to a SLR worth 10 to 20 million yuan.
Why do SLRs have such good imaging effects? This is mainly due to the lens. This is the biggest feature that distinguishes it from ordinary digital cameras. Digital cameras, which were very popular in the past, have gradually disappeared under the huge wave of smartphones, but SLRs are still strong and are the threshold for professional photography.
It's like if you don't have a SLR camera, you'd be embarrassed to tell others that you are a professional photographer.
In order to pursue higher shooting quality, or to catch up with SLRs, smartphones have made a lot of efforts in recent years. One of the biggest breakthroughs or phenomena is that there are more lenses on mobile phones.
One is not enough, two is not enough, two is not enough and four is not enough, and there are even mobile phones with five and six cameras. Based on the principle that I have more lenses than you, so I can take better photos than you, I added cameras to it like crazy. Some companies even add some low-end cameras to make up for this.
There are many lenses such as super wide angle, super telephoto, macro, depth of field, black and white, etc. just to show off your own.
If it weren’t for the strong debut of Wu Hao’s smart AR glasses, I’m afraid this smartphone would still be running for ten cameras. In fact, some mobile phones have already achieved this, with dual cameras for selfies on the front and six cameras on the back, which is already eight cameras.
Nowadays, everyone is releasing smart AR glasses, but smartphones are not extinct. There are still some new mobile phone lines being released.
In fact, even major manufacturers such as H Wei and Blue and Green Factory have not given up on the research and development of mobile phones while developing AR glasses.
Now both Blue and Green Factory and H Wei are staring at Wu Hao’s transparent mobile phone screen, hoping that this transparent screen can be successfully used in mobile phones.
However, the current output of this transparent screen is relatively low, and it can only supply Wu Hao's transparent tablet needs, so he has not agreed to the other party's request for the time being.
It seems that lens technology has stagnated now. There are only a few changes in how to change. What major lens manufacturers are doing now is nothing more than brushing up data. There are not many real new technologies, or even none.
Even the latest periscope telephoto lens technology, which H was the first to apply to his mobile phone a few years ago, is actually a very early technology. This technology can be traced back to World War I and World War II, and was used in trenches on the battlefield. A periscope observation scope for observing the battlefield environment.
Later, this technology was also used on submarines. This is the very representative and symbolic periscope on submarines.
The innovation of H Wei is that it uses this technology to successfully achieve ultra-long-distance camera functions on thin and light mobile phones.
Apart from these, there seems to be nothing else. In recent years, mobile phone manufacturers or lens manufacturers have been constantly competing for mobile phone pixels, which is actually in terms of photosensitive components.
Therefore, countless optical technology researchers are thinking about what the next generation of lens technology will be and what changes will occur in lens technology.
Everyone is thinking about it and constantly exploring it. Although some theories and opinions have been put forward one after another, until today, there is no unified consensus.
