346 Chapter 338: Glass Substrate (Part 1)

As soon as Liu Jing went to work, she came to the Optoelectronics Research Office to block people.

Philip's semiconductor production line, the renovation of the original internship factory workshop, has been completed.It's time to enter the equipment and install the production line.But recently encountered a big problem, that is, the ordered MOCVD delivery has a problem.

Two days ago, there was news from Keyi that only one of the originally scheduled three MOCVDs could be delivered on time. The second one is estimated to be delayed by half a month, and the third one simply cannot be guaranteed.

After thinking about it, the Philip group suspected that the equipment was cut off by others!

Philip's order was placed relatively early, and there should be no problem with the delivery.However, with the LED industry conference, various manufacturers have started to build new production lines under the optimistic expectation of the future.

As the core machine for blue LED production, MOCVD has become a scarce resource.

The strength of Fengtian Keyi has incurred considerable losses over the years, coupled with the development and commissioning of new models.Demolition of the Eastern Wall and repair of the Western Wall are their only choice.

Cheng Yongxing's mouth soaking skills are not covered.The customer was fooled with the money and found it, but the goods cannot be delivered here!

This is the problem caused by monopoly.The elder of the Science Instrument Factory has a temper.

In addition to MOCVD, there is also a delivery problem for laser cutting machines.

But if you run away from the monk, you can't run to the temple!

"Sister Liu, why are you here?"

As soon as Cheng Yongxing went upstairs, he found the guests waiting outside the office.

"Not here, where are you? I have been looking for you for the past two days, but I can't find you at all!"

Ms. Liu started complaining as soon as they met.After a period of contact, the two people became familiar.

"Yes, but it's really busy these days. And I'm going out soon."

Cheng Yongxing said, opening the office.

"Where are you going? Or you can talk while walking. I have a car, and I will see you off?"

Liu Jing's business background is more likely to come.Now he is asking for others, and his attitude is extremely low.

"You have a car? It's good to have a car."

It is easier for a joint venture to buy a car.They can purchase a car from abroad and import it tax-free, so they don't have to be caught in the immature domestic car market.

"I'm going to the bungalow area, it's farther over there, okay?"

The location of the bungalow area is very remote, and the current bus is also very slow. It takes three hours to go back and forth by bus.Sometimes Cheng Yongxing simply stayed there for one night and returned the next day.

"Okay, what you say is what you say. I will be your driver today."

The two people joked and walked down.

Liu Jing, the bone spirit, used to be customer service.To be honest, she has no experience in business management.Now catch the ducks on the shelves as a last resort.However, she has self-knowledge and will not easily intervene where she does not know.

Philip's structure is also complete. Production, quality, and sales are all handled by dedicated personnel.Her so-called general manager does not need to be involved in too much daily work.Just focus on some important nodes.The important node now is the key equipment!

Her customer service experience helped.During this time, she had a very good relationship with a young man who was nearly 8 years younger than this one.

Due to the time pressure of the node, Cheng Yongxing is so busy these days, he does not pay much attention to his personal image, and often forgets to shave.

The two people walked out side by side, without any obvious sense of disobedience.

"By the way, what are you going to do in the bungalow?"

The problem was brought up when the cars were all started.

"I'm looking for a new base material supplier. As a result, I have searched Bingcheng, that is, Bingfei may provide it."

Cheng Yongxing's energy has been fully transferred to the liquid crystal display project.

The first goal is to find a glass substrate.

The glass substrate is an integral part of the TFT-LCD panel. It does not account for a high proportion of the total cost, but it has a huge impact on product performance. For example, key technical indicators such as resolution, transmittance, weight, and viewing angle are all related to The performance of the glass substrate is closely related.

Glass substrates are no less important to the TFT-LCD industry than silicon wafers are to the semiconductor industry.

It stands to reason that glass is everywhere in real life, so it should be easy to find.But when I actually searched, I discovered that it was far from the case.

There are several glass factories near Bingcheng, but they all produce ordinary civilian glass, which cannot meet the technical requirements.

There is no other way but to expand the scope of the search and go to some larger enterprises to find potential suppliers.Companies at this time have a large and comprehensive approach, or a small and comprehensive approach.The self-use parts factories of these large enterprises often have good strength.

However, in the entire Bingcheng, no similar or even close suppliers were found.

But after all, photoelectric research is famous.After being contacted, an aircraft factory located in the suburbs came into view.

————————

As an aircraft manufacturer, Bingfei has no doubt about its strength.

As the country's overall strategy shrinks, the entire military industry is shrinking, and these major military industrial plants have also begun the journey of military conversion.

Bingfei's cars and vans were still relatively successful.It's a pity that they didn't grasp the context of the market. They only like to make small cars.

In order to help these enterprises successfully transfer from military to civilian, the state has given a lot of matching funds.Therefore, Bingfei has no worries about the current capital and technology.

At this time, the University of Technology still has some majors related to aviation. It is easy to establish contact between the two.

Although the aircraft glass used by Bingfei is a resin material, it does not prevent interest in this project.

The biggest problem encountered by military-industrial enterprises in the process of converting military to civilians is that they cannot find good projects.There are competitors in every market they want to enter.

This is also one of the reasons why these companies get together to enter the car industry.

As for optoelectronic scientific research, after this period of intensive publicity, whether it is forced or the market, it gives people a lot of room for imagination.

The two parties hit it off, and after several contacts, they reached a supporting cooperation agreement.

Cheng Yongxing likes this supplier of dry food.

If Optoelectronics is to be responsible for the cost of developing upstream materials, the investment in this project is far from 100 million US dollars.

————————

The glass industry is simple to say, after all, humans could make glass products thousands of years ago.

But when it comes to complexity, it is also very complicated.

The front and back glass of the mobile phone has a high technical content, which can be regarded as unprecedented.Strange terms such as gorilla glass make people confused at all.

When Cheng Yongxing came up with the technical requirements, Bingfei's technical staff did not take it seriously.They can even build airplanes. Isn't it just a pinch?

Glass substrate, to put it bluntly, is thin glass.Its difficulty, apart from the material, lies in its thinness.

Thin glass is often encountered in the laboratory.When doing biological experiments, the glass sheet supporting the sample is very thin.

But when I studied it seriously, I found that it was not the case at all.

At this time, the mainstream of domestic glass craft is still float craft.But this method is not suitable for liquid crystal displays.

There are several reasons,

The first is excessive waste of capacity.

The float process itself is prepared for large-scale continuous production.Once this kind of production line is started, its output is dozens of tons, hundreds of tons per day.

Sand, this thing is worthless.
