Staff dressed in aseptic clothes took inspections at Huaxing Optoelectronics Workshop
Huaxing Optoelectronics staff is randomly detecting panels.
On May 28th, Changjiang Daily (Reported by Changjiang Daily reporter Wen Tao) When General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Hubei Province in April 2018, he suggested that the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt requires the correct understanding of the five relationships, and proposes that the correct removal of old kinetic energy and the cultivation of new kinetic energy be proposed. relationship.
On the afternoon of May 16, Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. t3 array factory, nearly 60,000 square meters of factory buildings, put film, cleaning, baking, coating, exposure machine and many other units in order. Although it is running at full capacity, The huge workshop was empty. Occasionally, one or two patrol officers wearing a full set of clean clothes could be seen walking through. The corridor on the second floor was very quiet and only sounded from the ventilator.
At 14:00 on the 16th, the Changjiang Daily reporter met the Wuhan CPPCC member at the appointed time, Zhao Yong, general manager of Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics.
Talking about the spirit of Xi Jinping’s important speech inspecting Hubei last month, Zhao Yong said: 'Wuhan enterprises are very encouraged, and we have more confidence in the future development of Wuhan. ' Zhao Yong is full of confidence: 'We are the new kinetic energy. The introduction of China Star Optronics is also A practical move to cultivate new momentum in Wuhan. '

Convinced that folding screen is the future main battlefield
Make new products with higher added value
Zhao Yong’s confidence and confidence came from the huge investment of Huaxing Optoelectronics in Wuhan. He explained that the 6th generation low-temperature polysilicon liquid crystal display panel production line project with investment of 16 billion yuan (internal number t3 in China Star Optoelectronics) started in September 2014. By the end of this month, total investment of RMB 16 billion will have been fully invested and all equipment will be ready. It will officially begin to climb, and it is expected that the annual output value will reach RMB 10 billion.
At the end of March 2017, the 6th generation flexible LTPS-AMOLED display panel production line project of China Star Optoelectronics (t4) was contracted and settled in Wuhan with a total investment of 35 billion yuan. The t4 project was started after two and a half months, and the factory building was capped at the end of December. Currently, outside the t4 project The wall decoration has been completed nearly 80%. The internal cleansing project is nearing the end. It is necessary to change shoes when going in and change the clean clothes.
Folding screen is the upstart in the flexible panel, is the commanding height, and is also the main direction of the t4 project. 'The same mobile phone, people hold in their hands, the bigger the better the screen, the smaller the better when putting the bag. The folding screen is very good. Solved this pain point. 'In view of Zhao Yong, the commercial value of this pain point will be huge, may trigger the fourth wave of mobile phone replacement.
People often say that 'the boat is better off turning around'. The 'big ship' that has invested 35 billion yuan like the t4 project must choose the direction before starting. New things often take a long incubation period, there is no folding mobile phone on the market, t4 Why should the project go straight to the folding screen? Zhao Yong's answer is: 'The reason is to lay out in advance. Otherwise, wait for others to have it, and when we come out, it becomes backward production capacity.'
Zhao Yong said that at present, only global production of flexible panels in the Samsung family. Wuhan Huaxing Photoelectric started relatively late, but the gap with the previous is not large. 'If you do something like Samsung, we can only get close to them, not to mention Transcendence. We firmly believe that folding screen is the main battlefield in the future, so we dare to shout out boldly, concentrate on superior firepower, and focus on folding screens. From a strategic point of view, we have the opportunity to lead.
The t4 project will begin the import of key equipment in July this year and plans to put into production in the first half of 2019. Zhao Yong expects that Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics will start providing folding screens for mobile phone factories in 2020.
After 40 years of reform and opening up, overcapacity has occurred in many industries. Zhao Yong said that as in many industries, the panel industry is also low-end surplus and high-end.
He believes that supply-side structural reforms are actually adjusting factor allocations and increasing the proportion of innovation capabilities. Something with higher added value should be done. Do not fight in the low-priced Red Sea. Huaxing Optoelectronics is in this concept. Guide the layout of the entire product line.
The t4 project took only 199 days from the first pile to the top of 600,000 square meters. It refreshed the record of the same-scale factory building in the industry and created new 'Optical Valley Speed' and 'China Star Efficiency'. Light up in February next year, try to make the first flexible screen. This speed will be the fastest in the industry.
'Say, do it and do it, do it dry, dry quickly, and do it with high quality.' Zhao Yong concluded.
Secret
Talent, Technology, Intellectual Property
How can not be overemphasized
During his visit to Hubei, general secretary Xi Jinping stressed the need to promote structural reforms on the supply side, and to work on both 'broken' and 'statutory' forces to accelerate the upgrading and upgrading of traditional industries, accelerate the development of new industries, and increase new economic development momentum.
Zhao Yong said that China Star Optoelectronics is a good example of supply-side structural reforms. There are three major new elements in supply-side structural reforms that are important: talent, technology, and intellectual property. 'These new elements were not valued enough in the past. But points'.
Talent: More than 80 doctors in Wuhan have more headquarters than Shenzhen
Zhao Yong said that Huaxing Optoelectronics chose to fall to Wuhan. One of the important reasons is talent. Wuhan is located in the center of China and has abundant human resources. In 2014, he heard that there are more than 1 million college students in Wuhan, the first in the world. It was shocked.
In addition, the quality of Wuhan's talents is also high. Huazhong University of Science and Technology majors in photonics and mechanics are among the best in the country, and these two professions exactly match the needs of Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics.
Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics currently employs more than 5,000 people and has a very high proportion of technical personnel. Among them, there are more than 80 Ph.Ds from all over the world. There are more than the number of Huaxing Opto-electronics headquarters in Shenzhen. This is due to the abundant talent resources in Wuhan and Wuhan Huaxing as the second. Mobile phone panel, mobile phone panel technology content is higher, the difficulty is also much greater.
Technology: Guardian 'Vision Health' Innovation 'Circular Polarization' and 'Good Blu-ray'
Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics Phase 1 Project (t3) The production of LCD screens for mobile phones. When it comes to screens, the world is measuring them with such indicators as brightness, contrast, and resolution. Zhao Yong and his colleagues are pondering: 'If you want to catch up Super advanced international level, there is no other dimension?'
They found a dimension called 'visual health'. Modern people see too many electronic displays, which hurt the eyes more. In order to protect the vision of mobile phone users, Wuhan Huaxing has developed a number of unique technologies.
One is circular polarized light technology. After we read a book for a period of time, our vision will be reduced. Usually we can take a rest and we can recover. However, if it is so frequent, it will take too long and the eyes will not rest. The vision will not be restored.
Studies have found that the display screen is much more harmful to eyes than books. One of the important reasons is that natural light is scattered and disorderly, and the monitor has a polarizer that turns the light into the same direction. There are many photoreceptors, which are responsible for receiving light in different directions. For example, if light enters the human eye from the same direction for a long time, it will cause half of the cells to be overworked and the other half idle.
Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronic Co., Ltd. invented the CPLP technology. The light emitted by the screen is circularly distributed in all directions, simulating natural light. The effect is very close to the book.
There is also a nice blue technology. Many mobile phones have an eye-protection mode. When they are turned on, the phone's image will turn into a haze of yellow. Blu-ray will hurt people's eyes. The eye protection mode is to use software directly. Half of the blue light is lost. At this time, the blue complementary color, yellow light, will increase. This is a last resort for the whole plant.
Experts have found that the short-wavelength part of the blue light (closer to the ultraviolet light) is more damaging to the eyes. Therefore, Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics adds a filter at the position where the blue light is emitted, and filters the short-wavelength part.
In addition, the research and development team of Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics is still studying some new areas and new directions. For example, now the mobile phone is full of screens. When the full screen is as large as the size of the mobile phone, the front camera has no place to place. Adding 'bangs' is acceptable, but not perfect. The idea of Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics is to make a screen camera, use the small holes between the pixels on the screen of the mobile phone, and collect the light in front of it to the back camera.
'We thought many people did not think of in the past, we through technological innovation, to cultivate new consumer demand, cultivate new energy and new competitiveness.' Zhao Yong said.
Intellectual Property: The number of invention patent applications was the first in the province for three consecutive years
Zhao Yong said that this element of intellectual property represents the company’s understanding of innovation and the protection of newly developed things.
In 2014, the construction of China Star Optoelectronics Wuhan Plant started. Shenzhen headquarters only came over 100 people.
In 2015, over 500 people came to Shenzhen and Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics began to apply for a patent. Taking the invention patent with the highest gold content as an example, this year, Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics applied for a total of 597 patents, more than a few old companies, ranking first in the province. one.
In 2016, Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics applied for 1062 invention patents and continued to be the first in the province. This is also the first time that a company has applied for over a thousand applications in Hubei.
In 2017, in the “Top 20 Enterprises in Hubei Invention Patent Application” list, Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics took the first place (Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., t3) and the third (Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics Semiconductor Display Technology Co., Ltd., t4 The total number of applications for these two seats is 1483.
So far this year, Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics has continued to lead. Its annual target is 1,800.
Outlook
Wuhan will become China's largest panel industry
'Zuoling Avenue, we didn't see anybody when we first arrived in 2014. At the peak of commutes, there are sometimes traffic jams. ' Zhao Yong's banned words reflect the enterprises with such a large body as Huaxing Optoelectronics, for regional development. Pulling power.
What makes Wuhan people happy is that several heavyweight peers of Huaxing Optoelectronics have also come.
'Tianma Microelectronics originally had a panel production line at Buddha Ridge and later built a new one at Zuoling; BOE also has a line at Dongxi Lake; Huaxing Optoelectronics does not rule out continuing additional investment. ' Zhao Yong said, 'Wuhan is very precise in this piece. The future is likely to become the most concentrated area of China's panel industry. Just now these projects are done, Wuhan's panel industry density is already the first in the country.
In 2009, China’s imported product list ranked first on integrated circuits and fourth on the panel. In less than 10 years, the panel has not only disappeared from the list of imported products, but China’s panels have also been exported.
Zhao Yong believes that in the panel area, China as a whole has not lost abroad. Now it is only behind South Korea. It will be a big chance to surpass South Korea in the next 3 to 5 years.
