In the end, Boss Jia confirmed the Daqian 2 handset. Then, the Daqian 2 would be mass-produced. Then, it would be released worldwide in July. After that, it would be distributed worldwide.
Boss Jia was very satisfied with the Daqian 2 handset. Would the next new gadget be approved by Boss Jia?
The handset that Boss Jia was holding in his hands was the Daqian's first self-developed handset. In fact, the Daqian was developed by both the console and the handset. It was just that the console was a little troublesome. The company's engineers were still learning from Nintendo's people, so the handset was developed much faster.
Boss Jia's original plan was that the Daqian handset would be like a game controller, with a horizontal screen.
However, during the actual research and development process, the development team discovered that because the screen was too small, the horizontal screen was not as good as the vertical screen, which was the GB screen. Therefore, the first generation of Da Qian's gaming handheld still had the traditional vertical brick shape, which was about the same size as a mobile phone.
"The biggest breakthrough in this handset is that we used a color LCD screen. The entire screen has 30000 color cells, and it can support hundreds of colors. It can support a maximum of 240 × 160 resolution, and the screen size is 2.9 inches. To put it bluntly, this is the best handset screen in the world. It can definitely beat the current GB screen, or any other handset gaming screen!" Liu Nian said proudly.
"Because until now, there hasn't been a single handset that can use a color screen."
"Then, where did this screen come from?" Boss Jia asked hesitantly. Boss Jia had been paying attention to the development of the handset. For a handset, the most important thing besides the performance was the screen.
The display of the console was different from the TV. The display of the handset depended on the screen. The better the display, the more players would like it.
Therefore, when Boss Jia was developing the Daqian handset, he gave a strict order that the screen of the Daqian's first handset must be colored.
But if he wanted to use a color screen, it would be very troublesome.
It was not that there was no technology for color screens. On the contrary, in Fusang, there were already very mature small color screens, which were LED and TFT screens.
However, the TFT was a reflective type of light. In the absence of the sun, it was basically impossible to see anything clearly. Therefore, Daqian chose to use the LED LCD screen for the handheld display.
However, there was an important problem with this, and that was the cost.
When Nintendo released the GBA in 2001, it used a cheap TFT reflective display. The amount of colors and display effects it could bring was not as good as the one in Boss Jia's hands.
Therefore, one could imagine how expensive it would be to equip this screen five years in advance.
Boss Jia had read the report. Whether it was Fusang's Toshiba or Sharp, such a small screen would cost around 50 USD.
One had to know that a GB handheld was only 99 USD. This screen would take up half of the price. This was obviously a very ridiculous thing.
Originally, the best Daqian could use its own screen. However, Daqian had only started LCD research for more than a year. Currently, it was still in the process of developing the technology. It was obviously impossible for them to have the world's top LED LCD screen, let alone build a production line and mass produce this screen.
For LCD screens, the real difficulty was not in the research and development, but in the construction of the LCD screen production line. This was the most difficult part.
Because LCD screens were a very delicate electronic product, the whole process had to be carried out by the production line. Without the production line, everything would be at a loss.
Moreover, the production line was finalized. It was expressed according to the size of the glass substrate used in the production line. The higher the size, the higher the algebra, and naturally, the higher the resolution it could support.
Therefore, the production line was called the first generation line, the second generation line. In 2020, the world's highest level production line was the 10.5 generation line. Don't ask me where the 0.5 came from. I also looked it up on Baidu. Anyway, it was the 10.5 generation line.
There were even 0.5 generation fighter jets, so it was not strange to have a production line.
Currently, the world's most advanced line was the 5th generation line. In Sharp's hands, they were already the world's top screen manufacturer if they could own a 4th generation line.
Moreover, the LCD screen production line's retention rate was quite high. Once the production line was eliminated, even if it was sold second-hand, it could still be sold at a very good price.
Back then, when the LCD screen manufacturer in China was already the 6th generation line internationally, in order to get a 4th generation LCD screen production line, they paid a total of 60 million USD. The price was almost the same as buying a new 4th generation line.
However, the reason why they spent so much money was because of the international blockade. The United States did not allow other countries to sell production lines to Hua Xia.
Okay, back to the topic. Although Daqian had already started the full development of LCD screens, and because Boss Jia was willing to spend money, there were already results. The black and white LED LCD screens used in Daqian 2 mobile phones were made by Daqian using their own 3rd generation line.
However, with Daqian's current strength, they still needed time to develop the 4th generation line. Therefore, purchasing a display screen was their only choice.
"This screen is from Samsung Electronics!" Liu Nian finally revealed the mystery.
"Samsung's display screen?" Boss Jia was shocked. When he first bought the display screen, Boss Jia immediately thought of Samsung or LG. Samsung was the world's top LCD screen manufacturer.
However, after Boss Jia did an on-site investigation, he found out that these two companies did not have any LCD screen business.
Currently, LG was most famous for their oil processing products and chemical products. Although Samsung had entered the electronics industry and had accumulated a lot of technology in the semiconductor industry, they mainly sold various kinds of home appliances, or insurance, or information related to life. They were committed to becoming the shadow of the Korean people's life.
"Has Samsung finally entered the display industry?" Boss Jia asked subconsciously.
"Yes! This is the display screen produced by Samsung's first 4th generation line! "Liu Nian said.
"Did you take the initiative to look for them?" Boss Jia asked again.
"No, Samsung took the initiative to look for us!" Liu Nian said.
"Samsung took the initiative to look for us?" Boss Jia was stunned. Although Daqian was now the world's top 500, Samsung was the world's top 100. Moreover, because Koreans were suppressed by Hua Xia, they were very rebellious and disdainful of Hua Xia. Boss Jia did not expect Samsung to take the initiative to look for Daqian.
