Top of the big era

It's the end of the year, so busy.

Zhou Buqi definitely picks out the key points to deal with. For companies like Changyou, Ziweixing Global, PayPal, and Ziweixing Digital Media, it is basically enough. He listens to the report, gets the general situation, and then leaves it to professional managers to deal with it.

Whether it was handled well or not, they turned a blind eye.

As long as the general trend is right, that's enough.

If you grasp the general trend and make some mistakes in the details of the business, at most it will cause a certain amount of business waste and will not affect the overall situation.

Zhou Buqi is obviously more concerned about the business of Ziweixing and Ziweixing International.

This is his core territory.

However, Fu Sheng's task is also very important.

The current stage is the best time to acquire OLED display-related patents. If in a year and a half, mobile phones equipped with OLED screens are launched on the market and are well received by the market, then everything will be too late and there will be no qualifications to enter the game.

In the afternoon, Fu Sheng arrived as scheduled.

The dusty man looked very anxious.

Zhou Buqi quickly pulled him to sit down, "What's going on?"

Fu Shengdao: "I found an important patent on OLED screens. If in the future, as you said, high-end smartphones will be equipped with OLED display panels, then this patent is likely to be the most critical. Unless there is a larger There is a technological breakthrough and there are better patents to replace it. But for now, this patent is the best in the market. I have specifically asked several industry experts.”

Zhou Buqi saw that what he said was absurd, so he said categorically: "OLED displays must be the future trend, because in the field of high-end mobile phones, apart from Apple, only Samsung and Asda are playing. Now Samsung is blocked by LG I am betting on OLED, and I also intend to promote OLED. As long as Samsung and Asda join forces, they will soon be able to educate the market, and OLED screens will become a truly high-end screen in public perception, and will be a standard feature of high-end phones. , even the iPhone has to go back to using OLED screens.”

"That's it!"

Fu Sheng clenched his fist.

Zhou Buqi asked: "What kind of patent is it?"

Fu Shengdao: "Patent for pixel arrangement."

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi didn't understand.

Fu Sheng had the obligation to popularize the common sense concept of display panels to the big boss, saying: "In the past display panels, the screen did not emit light, but relied on the backlight panel under the screen to emit light. The screen itself is equivalent to a different material of glass. It only has the function of transmitting light.”

"I know."

Zhou Buqi nodded. This was what Zhang Zetian, the secretary next to him, told him.

Fu Sheng continued: "OLED panels are different. They are diodes made of organic materials...the most important thing is this organic material."

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, organic materials can emit light by themselves, and there is no need for a backlight. Therefore, OLED panels are thinner and more flexible, but they are more expensive, have a shorter lifespan, and are prone to screen burn-in."

"Yes, that's what it means. The organic material of OLED can emit light by itself. Each pixel is composed of different pixels. However, the pixels will have color fringing at different viewing angles, and may even cause screen blur..." Fu Sheng felt that this concept was a bit complicated, and it was somewhat difficult for Boss Zhou to explain it too clearly, so he simply said, "I just said it roughly, it is equivalent to every molecule providing power and emitting light. However, light is propagating When encountering a medium, reflection and refraction will occur.”

"Um."

"The molecules of the screen are all one by one and one on top of the other, which means that when these organic material molecules emit light, the photons will be interfered with each other, ultimately leading to unsatisfactory display effects."

"So it is necessary to arrange these molecules of organic materials more appropriately. Through the best arrangement, we can minimize the photon interference between different molecules, so as to achieve the best presentation effect!"

Zhou Buqi didn't study well in college, but he was half a top student in middle school.

This most basic knowledge of the propagation of light is all knowledge of middle school physics, and he understood the truth as soon as he heard it.

Fu Sheng said happily: "That's probably what it means. The current OLED screen actually has four major technical directions. One is to improve stability and prevent screen burn-in; one is to improve flexibility and can make curved screens; the other is to make curved screens It’s thinner and lighter. Another is to find a better pixel arrangement so that the OLED screen can have better image performance, make the colors more delicate, have higher saturation, and have a better visual experience.”

Zhou Buqi immediately made a judgment, "The arrangement of pixels is the most intuitive, and it is also the technical direction that can directly contact users after the large-scale promotion of OLED screens."

Fu Shengdao: "I also think this technical direction is very important. I checked it in the patent office for two days, and then I really found out some mysteries!"

"What mystery?"

"There is a pixel arrangement patent that is considered by the industry to be the best at present. It was developed by a small American company in 2009 and is called diamond arrangement. In fact, many other arrangement patents have been applied for in the past two years, including seven. There are as many as eight patents. However, I have consulted relevant people and the diamond arrangement is still the most effective arrangement at present.”

"Then do it! Buy it!"

Zhou Buqi must find a way to restrict Samsung's dominance in the display field, otherwise Asda will be restricted by Samsung's supply for a long time.

Fu Sheng shook his head, "There are two troubles now. First, this arrangement patent is not a real hard-core technology. In fact, it is a permutation and combination, to find the best combination from countless permutations and combinations. Diamond arrangement is the most effective Is it a good arrangement? Definitely not. There are also many flaws in diamond arrangement. The effect of diamond arrangement is indeed the best in a year or two, and a better arrangement will be found. "

Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up, "Find the best effect from countless permutations and combinations?"

Fu Sheng said: "Yes, it is to find the combination of materials with the least interference to photons."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better to let artificial intelligence do such a large-scale project? Let AI do it!"

Fu Sheng laughed, "Then I don't know. You have to find the most professional people to do it. In addition to having the best artificial intelligence technology, you also have to have the best optical team to cooperate. This diamond patent is Discovered by a small company working in the field of optics.”

Zhou Buqi sighed. He doesn't have that much power to expand infinitely now. "Artificial intelligence is not that easy. Now I want to do a big project no less than the Manhattan Project, and I'm looking for a leader. The pixel arrangement thing , I don’t have time to do it in a short time.”

"What should we do?"

"Buy it! Buy the diamond patent first and then, no matter if it's US$100 million or US$200 million, it doesn't matter, I'll pay for it!"

"Uh..." Fu Sheng twitched his lips, "It's not that easy."

Zhou Buqi asked: "What's wrong?"

Fu Sheng said: "There is a second problem. Samsung has been paying attention to the OLED field for many years. They paid attention to this field earlier than you."

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was shocked, "Was it taken away by Samsung?"

"yes."

Fu Sheng nodded.

Zhou Buqi was disappointed.

It’s still too late to start!

This is going to be difficult!

Unexpectedly, Fu Sheng immediately shook his head and said, "No."
