Chapter 128: Chapter 128: The 8th Generation Flexible LCD Screen R&D and Manufacturing Center!
Jiang Cheng imagined the probing effect, and it didn’t take long to arrive.
Worldwide, as everyone discussed how Jade Island’s technology would cause a huge impact on Samsung Electronics, Samsung Electronics Company just casually responded on their official account with two words: "Arrogant!"
Clearly, they fundamentally don’t believe in Jade Island’s technology!
As a technology company that has delved deep into the display screen field for more than a decade, Samsung has this confidence. Regarding flexible technology, they have actually started research in recent years.
However, bending the screen is not difficult; the real challenge is that after repeated bending, a significant impact on the phone’s display performance occurs. This is why flexible screens have never been widely adopted.
And Jade Island, which has never made any impact in this field, suddenly claims to fabricate ultra-flexible screens with memory function, making it impossible for Samsung Company to believe.
Jiang Cheng clearly saw Samsung Company’s reply on the internet, but he simply shook his head speechlessly at their provocative words.
"Looks like they really have a short-term memory,"
In response, Jiang Cheng decided not to reply. He didn’t have time to engage in a verbal battle with Samsung; the most important task now was to create a factory to produce flexible screens.
Opening the tycoon building system, he called up the black technology factory module. After some searching, a stunning foam-like structure appeared, which brightened Jiang Cheng’s eyes!
[Name]: Eighth-generation Flexible Liquid Crystal Screen R&D Manufacturing Center!
[Parameters]: Research Center X1, Mask Process Workshop X1, Vacuum Evaporation Workshop X1, Cutting Workshop X1, Packaging Workshop X1, Other Supporting Facilities X1
[Area]: 5.6 square kilometers
[Cost]: 4.2 billion USD
[Duration]: 60 days
"Build!"
With almost no hesitation, Jiang Cheng directly pressed the construction button and placed it in the Future Technology Industrial Park north of Laputa City.
The current Future Technology Industrial Park has already taken on considerable scale, with all of Jade Island’s most advanced technology research centers, gathering a large number of high-tech talents.
Most of the talents in the technology field who immigrated to Jade Island work here, delivering the most advanced tech products for Jade Island and the world.
Watching the liquid crystal screen factory enter the construction phase, Jiang Cheng prepared to continue his plan to defeat Samsung Electronics Company.
The emergence of flexible liquid crystal screens will undoubtedly impact the entire industry, but this alone is not enough to shake Samsung Electronics to its core.
Jiang Cheng knows that in the smartphone field, Samsung’s sales volume has always dominated, even Apple cannot compete with it. No matter how many mobile manufacturers rise and fall over the years, Samsung phones steadily occupy the top position.
This, from another perspective, shows just how powerful Samsung Electronics Company is.
To defeat such a powerful opponent in all smartphone production phases, relying solely on Jiang Cheng is truly daunting.
Therefore, the best strategy is to collaborate with Samsung’s competitors.
Presumably, those global smartphone manufacturers, always suppressed by Samsung phones, would be happy to see this giant fall.
...
Online discussions about the intelligent ultra-flexible liquid crystal display are ongoing and intense.
Among them, many hold trust in Jade Island’s technological prowess, of course, also including some skepticism, but regardless, the news has stirred major smartphone manufacturers into action.
The smartphone screen, being the most direct display part, is the most visually impactful. Additionally, its display function affects the phone’s user experience.
A smartphone with a powerful core processor, without a super LCD screen, surely cannot perform its mighty functions.
Thus, the LCD screen is absolutely a core part of a smartphone. Regarding customer usage effects, its importance is no less than the core processor.
That’s why, upon hearing of a new generation of liquid crystal display technology about to emerge, major smartphone manufacturers couldn’t sit still!
If they could be the first to use this new screen in their produced phones, they would surely seize a large market share.
It’s known that today’s smartphone industry, after nearly a decade of rapid progress, has started encountering innovation fatigue, with manufacturers straining to develop functions that meet user requirements, yet often yielding little effect.
A big part of this is due to the slowing pace of hardware upgrades.
Without a powerful hardware system, it’s impossible to create functions satisfying users. All major manufacturers are very aware of this.
However, hardware system upgrades are generally relatively slow.
In recent years, as the market gradually saturates, mobile manufacturers increasingly feel that company operations face the risk of constraint. If this continues, they will inevitably undergo a reshuffle and ultimately become a casualty of the tides of time.
With this backdrop, the advent of a new generation of flexible screens can be imagined, the surprise it will bring them!
Shortly after the news spread, major global smartphone manufacturers, such as the United States’ Apple, Huawei, Mi, OPPO, VIVO, and others from Hua Country, through various means, sought insider news from Jade Island, eager to seize the opportunity before this industry-changing storm arrives.
...
Jade Island.
Laputa City, the private office at the top of the Vertical Forest.
"Island Master sir, this is the list of mobile manufacturers who previously expressed cooperation intent with us, there are a total of 28 mobile manufacturers globally, among them 7 have expressed willingness to fully use our LCD screens on their future phones."
"Oh?"
Reaching out to take the list handed over by Monica, Jiang Cheng glanced over it briefly.
Indeed, since the flexible liquid crystal screen news was announced, besides the arrogant Samsung Electronics, nearly all global phone manufacturers have sent collaboration intent applications to Jade Island.
It seems the plan has worked, as the smartphone industry is already brewing a new wave of reform.
However, Jiang Cheng’s focus at the moment was entirely on the final seven mobile manufacturers listed.
The world’s second-largest phone producer Apple, the four giants from Hua Country, and two companies from Japan.
Seeing this list, Jiang Cheng slightly curled his lips into a meaningful smile.
Indeed, the mobile manufacturers on this list have been suppressed by Samsung, presumably they’ve been eyeing Samsung Electronics’ position for a long time.
"Just these four giants then; tell their CEOs to come to Jade Island tomorrow, saying I have a major opportunity for them,"
Jiang Cheng glanced at the Hua Country’s four phone giants on the list and addressed Monica.
