Chapter 440 I would rather die as a Taoist friend than die as a poor Taoist

November seems a bit monotonous.

After Catherine sent the script back, she put aside all other things and waited for the world to change.

However, the evidence in the United States seems to be somewhat calm this month. Instead, its own research institutes are busy tinkering with new gadgets.

"This...this...is the fed monitor?"

Catherine looked at the box in her hand, which was about 20 centimeters thick, and her eyes widened.

This is the prototype of the fed.

This big box, about 10 inches, is the Fed that Catherine has always dreamed of.

It's just that...the gap between reality and ideal is a little far.

"This is just a sample. Century's products should be able to be shrunk." The technician's seemingly comforting words could not save Catherine's heart that had been severely hit.

This thing, which is completely black and brown, is just like a large brick. It is the ultimate display that Catherine boasts that there is nothing on the ground or in the sky.

"Connect the power and let me see."

Catherine said weakly.

"OK."

The technician connected the screen to a computer chassis and turned on the switch.

Immediately afterwards, the screen began to light up. It was not like the trembling and shaking way when the CRT TV was first turned on, but it was completely lit up without any distortion in the picture.

Although this big guy really disappointed Catherine, Catherine still looked at the TV picture very seriously. There was no geometric distortion at the edges of the picture, and it was absolutely qualified.

At this time, Catherine took a serious look at this big man.

Although it is twenty centimeters wide, it is not in the shape of a trapezoid like today's televisions, but a complete square shape, just like Catherine's first impression when she saw this thing - it was a

Bricks.

"But this resolution..."

The resolution seems to be very small, so that when Catherine looked at the above question, it was still a little blurry. More importantly, it seemed that this monitor only had two colors: black and white.

"Because we can't find a material that can generate a good electric field, so so far, we are still a little... troubled."

This seems to be an unsolvable problem. Unless a lot of money is invested in research...

Of course, a researcher may have a flash of inspiration and the problem may be solved, but this situation is far more difficult than imagined. The so-called "alternative plan" is another plan chosen only when it is absolutely necessary. The novel

The protagonist came up with a bunch of plans easily, or he made a revolver in the Song Dynasty... Haha, the weather is really nice today.

"Although the display is very thick, in fact it is the driving device that occupies most of the space behind it. If we can find a good material, maybe we can reduce the thickness to one-fifth of what it is now. And at that time, we can also

With better display effects and resolution..."

This sounds good.

"Then when will the picture become colorful?"

This question is very important.

"Uh..." the technician scratched his head: "In fact, after canceling the color è display plan, our research difficulty dropped by more than 70, so researching color è displays will be a little... difficult... maybe five years...

...or longer. However, one day, this can be achieved..."

Catherine opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Catherine studied the fed and had another idea, that is, this kind of ultra-thin monitor can replace the CRT anytime and anywhere, unlike other products that can completely outperform the current TV anytime and anywhere.

People nowadays buy big-butt monitors like CRT, not because such big-butt monitors are liked by people, but simply because it is a choice that people have no choice but to do.

Because apart from this "big butt", there is no other way to spread TV pictures to people - Catherine's LED screen may be able to, but that kind of ultra-high brightness screen is simply annoying when placed indoors.

Blind...

Is it possible for me to go find Robert Cole now?

Just kidding, this guy is only 35 years old now

The discoverers of fullerene are still struggling. As for more cutting-edge carbon nanotubes... well, that will take longer.

Catherine can only make the electronic industry develop ahead of schedule, but compared with history, the pace of its development is only the difference between 100/ and 110/, which is not a big deal at all. However, this has nothing to do with the fed.

help……

Carbon nanotubes, also known as Bucky tubes, are one-dimensional quantum materials with a unique structure and are a type of Fed display technology.

What Robert Cole studied is buckyball, which is fullerene. To put it more informally, it is buckyballene - in the 21st century, this is the chemistry of middle school.

Catherine looked at the big guy in front of her and didn't know what she was thinking.

Generally speaking, CRT monitors have many advantages, such as large viewing angles, no bad pixels, highly uniform color reproduction, adjustable multi-resolution modes, and extremely short response times. Putting these advantages together, they can kill almost all monitors in an instant.

LED and LCD displays - as long as the problems of geometric distortion and bulk are solved.

Although the Fed does not have an adjustable resolution mode, it has inherited all the other advantages of the CRT, and the problems of geometric distortion and bulk are not a problem for the Fed - because the Fed can be thinner than LCD.

"Carbon nanotubes, you can use these as materials." Catherine looked at the other party with hopeful eyes.

"Carbon...nanotubes?"

The technician hit 100,000+ critical hits and killed Catherine instantly.

"But...Ms. Edson, we feel that ED technology seems to be more promising, and ED technology is less difficult. Although compared with our initial expectations, the production cost of ED may be higher, but the R&D cost of ED is definitely higher than that of Fed

Cheap."

The technician cast a +1 resurrection spell on Catherine again, and Catherine was resurrected.

Suddenly hearing this technology that she had once relegated to the cold palace, Catherine screamed in surprise.

Then, she suddenly realized.

The display uses surface conduction electron emission display technology, which is also a field emission display and is an active light-emitting display technology.

But unlike Fed, ED does not need high-end gadgets like carbon nanotubes. ED displays only need to coat the front glass substrate with red, green, and blue phosphors, and add thousands of phosphors as anodes to the rear glass substrate.

volts of high voltage. Gold corresponding to each pixel is made on the back glass substrate through screen printing.

metal electrodes, and used inkjet printing to create a palladium oxide film electron emitter between the metal electrodes. The distance between the metal electrodes that formed the palladium oxide film was only 4-6 nanometers. When a voltage of more than 10 volts was applied between the metal electrodes, the extremely

An ultra-high electric field will be formed during the period, and the electrons in the palladium oxide film will be pulled out, forming an electron emission

Since the metal electrodes are arranged along the same glass substrate, the newly emitted electrons are conducted on the surface of the glass substrate. This is the reason why this device is named a surface conduction electron display. This is also why ED is different from other field-induced electron emission displays.

What is the difference between hair monitors?

The technical content of the palladium oxide film sprayed by inkjet printing is far lower than that of the Fed's carbon nanotubes. Although the cost of this thing is higher, it seems that in the 1960s, the cost was even lower.

"Hmm... to what extent have you developed your ED monitor?"

Catherine asked again.

"Uh... we just completed the demonstration, and the actual product has not been developed."

Catherine, who had just been resurrected, was hit by an arrow in the knee again and fell down.

"You... show me the information." If Catherine feels that there is indeed a problem, she should quickly correct it and make amends before it is too late.

"Hell, who said that time travelers all have the halo of protagonists... Damn it." After the other party left, Catherine continued scrolling on the keyboard, "When I know that guy said that the things that time travelers do will definitely be successful, I will definitely put this

Kill this guy..."

Catherine didn't understand why she could still have an impression of the useless online novels from her previous life, but it was obvious that the impression was not very good.

The bottleneck of fed was something that Catherine had not considered. She originally thought that she only needed a substitute product to develop such a display. But the reality was cruel.

The company has now invested more than 300 million in the Fed. If an ordinary company - even Sony now - encounters this situation, I am afraid that it will go bankrupt. Even if it does not go bankrupt, the company will probably go bankrupt.

Unsustainable.

The only thing Catherine is thankful for is that all these mistakes were paid for by the Pentagon.

"Also prepare a set of excuses..."

Catherine began to think.

A Pentagon supplier who does not cheat the Pentagon is definitely not a good Pentagon supplier.

Although ED is different from the Fed, in fact, ED is also a type of Fed. Some studies do not need to be overturned and started again. Catherine once told the other party that the cost advantage of the Fed exceeds that of the Fed, but this statement must be made now

It needs to be changed, for example... starting from the research fee side.

I believe those Pentagon officials who, although generous, consider themselves stingy, will be tempted by this idea.

"I just don't know what kind of bottleneck ed will encounter... and about this matter, let's wait until the Republican Party comes to power..."

Catherine made a plan next.

"I would rather die as a Taoist friend than die as a poor Taoist. I'm really sorry to trouble you to help pay the bill..."

There are two more updates~f@.
