Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 204 The Stolen Diamonds

The current OLED screen market is not like the LCD screen market, where multiple companies vie for dominance.

The market structure is very clear, and Sansang has an absolute dominant position in this market due to its first-mover advantage.

Third-party survey results show that Sanson has a 99% market share in screen panels, and any mobile phone manufacturer that wants to make OLED screens cannot bypass Sanson's supply system.

In this market situation, a new premise arises: that Sansang is willing to sell to you.

After all, Shenfei knew that both the Huawei and the rice companies had suffered from this kind of hardship in the future.

Of course, this applies not only to the future but also to the present. HTC's phones have already been put at a disadvantage because of their OLED screens.

However, since Shen Fei's rebirth, this situation has been rewritten.

Back when he was first reborn, he had already had someone apply for a patent related to the diamond arrangement.

This is the key reason why Sansang leads in OLED screens. By preemptively registering the technology, Sansang directly broke its absolute monopoly in the OLED field.

After all, we have this opportunity; wouldn't it be a waste not to use it?

In the future, they can only use alternative solutions like internal drilling and the arrangement of Zhou Dongyu's image. Therefore, the screen from the Transsion panel factory is not that simple...

Besides the diamond arrangement, the corresponding vapor deposition and encapsulation processes were also all completed in-house…

According to the normal plan, as long as this screen can light up, it will be considered a success if it surpasses the performance of ordinary panels from Samsung.

But Chen Mingyong's goal was to surpass Samsung's flagship screen for it to be considered a success.

After all, this is a product that's practically cheating.

But Chen Mingyong was still surprised when the results came out on the screen.

"Bring over that Samsung S2 screen and retest it in the same environment..."

Half an hour later, the data was on the table again.

Brightness: Transsion's screen reaches 550 nits, while Samsung's top-of-the-line screen only reaches 420 nits. At its maximum brightness, Transsion can reach 850 nits, while Samsung only reaches 760 nits.

In terms of color gamut, this screen achieves 102% DCI-P3, while Samsung only has about 97%.

While both OLED displays theoretically have infinite contrast ratios, Transsion's display shows significantly better preservation of dark details in grayscale performance.

In terms of even more critical uniformity, TransSound is far ahead.

The biggest headache with OLED screens is that they are easy to wipe clean.

The main issue is uneven brightness distribution, a problem even found on flagship products from top-tier manufacturers like Samsung. However, this is almost invisible on Transsion's screen.

Chen Mingyong could hardly believe the result.

"Old Zhou, this result..." Chen Mingyong personally calibrated the instrument again, "Increase the sampling points for current and voltage, lengthen the integration time, and check the instantaneous stability."

In OLED production testing, measurement errors often arise from transient interference.

To obtain stable and repeatable data, the settings for signal source delay and integration period are crucial.

Old Zhou adjusted the testing time, preferring to sacrifice speed in order to ensure absolute accuracy.

This screen is crucial for sound transmission; there can be no errors.

Even after doing all that, the data remained unchanged.

The engineer in charge of driver design uploaded a test video to the screen engineering sample.

This is a night scene video that puts a lot of strain on the screen.

The scene is mostly black, with a faint streetlight in the corner.

But the result...

At first glance, on San Sang's screen, there was a faint halo around the street lamp, and on the audio screen, the lamp was the lamp and the night was the night, clearly separated.

"This..." The engineer looked at Chen Mingyong, "Did we get the instrument upside down?"

Chen Mingyong ignored him, and Lao Zhou patted his little head.

"What are you thinking? This is the technology the boss gave us. If we can't surpass San Sang's skills, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?"

Chen Mingyong then pulled up another video, BBC's Pulse Earth, which they often use to examine the quality of a screen.

Sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a vibrant yet luminous green that is not glaring, resulting in a clear and bright scene.

It seems you can feel the dampness in the picture through this screen.

"The result is obvious. Just notify the boss to come over." Chen Mingyong turned off the equipment, as if the outcome was already decided, but his fingers lingered on the keyboard for a long time.

"Our screen is better than Samsung's in every aspect, including brightness, uniformity, and detail in dark areas. It's not just close, it surpasses it."

"Isn't it a bit early to give the notification now? We're still one quota short."

"No need to wait, I believe it will far surpass others in terms of screen burn-in."

"Then let... never mind, I'll make the call myself," Chen Mingyong said excitedly.

Everyone nodded excitedly.

They knew what this result meant; mobile phone screens are now one of the core selling points, and OLED screens are the crown jewel.

With its "S-class" screen, Galaxy S series dominated its competitors in terms of display quality, but now Transsion has also reached a level that can challenge it.

More than an hour later, the head of the second group of engineers ran off excitedly with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Mr. Chen, the aging test data is in, and the results are also leading."

Chen Mingyong took the report and read it line by line.

Burn-in rate is a very important metric, and it is the biggest pain point of OLED screens, as well as the key reason why it cannot be widely adopted.

OLED screens can leave permanent image burn-in after prolonged periods of stillness. Sansang's solution is to reduce the burn-in probability to the industry average, but it still cannot completely eliminate the problem.

As for other manufacturers, a 15% risk of screen burn-in is simply unbearable. And this is only for one year. With prolonged use, almost every screen will inevitably be affected by this curse.

Transsion's screen, thanks to its pre-registered diamond arrangement and modified drivers, has a 250% lower burn-in probability compared to Samsung's solution.

250% means that the probability of screen burn-in is extremely low, and it already has the foundation for large-scale use.

…………

Chen Mingyong's hands trembled slightly, and the trembling intensified the moment he found Shen Fei's phone number.

"Boss, it's done."

"It's done?" Shen Fei asked excitedly.

"How's the data?"

"Perfect." Chen Mingyong's tone revealed a hint of pride. "Five-inch screen, 1080p, OLED, the display effect is absolutely top-tier."

No, it should be considered top-tier level.

The burn-in probability is 150% lower than that of the previous three, the lifespan is 35% longer, and the power consumption is 15% lower.

"Boss, the solution you provided is simply brilliant!"

Shen Fei ignored Chen Mingyong's praise; this was something he had redeemed from a street vendor's exchange center.

And this is still the worst screen in the database, otherwise...

"What's the current yield rate?"

"Currently, our small-batch trial production data is at 73%, and we are still ramping up."

We expect to reach 85% within three months, and aim for 90% by the end of the year.

"Is the solution for handling defective products ready?"

Chen Mingyong smiled knowingly.

"Boss, don't worry, even defective products are useful."

Those with minor flaws can be used on the Honor series.

Honor focuses on cost-effectiveness, and its users are more tolerant of screen quality issues than high-end users.

We've calculated that even if the yield rate is only 70%, using the remaining 30% of defective products with Honor will still minimize costs.
