Chapter 418 Another Year
As the year draws to a close, Xing Baohua's factory and company are filled with joy.
Get into the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year early.
It's said that the benefits for full-time employees are good this year, and temporary workers also have benefits, though fewer.
Dami Electronics Factory offers the best wages and benefits among all companies in central Shandong, bar none.
Workers here earn one to one and a half times more than those in other companies.
With enough hard work, you can earn a very high salary.
All the workers received more than 300 yuan.
Keep in mind that wages have only recently increased, with most people only seeing their monthly salary rise from 80 or 90 yuan to over 100 yuan.
The average salary for rice farmers is around 200.
Everyone was envious and wanted to work in the rice factory on a piece-rate basis.
When the workers at the Luzhong TV Factory learned that the rice had been purchased, a third of them rushed back to work, even if there was no work available, they just waited for a chance to get a job.
Are more than half of them lost and confused? It's because the TV factory is not doing well. After taking unpaid leave, they went to work in other factories, which are also related to rice, such as Motorola and Samsung.
Should I continue working here, or go back to my original job?
They're all affiliated rice mills! I wonder if the pay will be high? I've been asking around for information.
I couldn't find out anything clearly. I only heard that the new factory is in the High-Tech Zone, not near the old factory.
Therefore, the workers who were still with the joint venture that owned the rice did not return.
When Su Ya returned from winter break, she saw Xing Baohua busy but didn't disturb him. During the day, she took Xing's mother shopping and even took the initiative to help the two elderly people cook.
She has the demeanor of the female lead in the Xing family.
Since I'm not married, I'm afraid of gossip, so I can only go home at night.
Actually, he occasionally goes to the large suites of city hotels to hang out.
After the graphics core was developed, Xing Baohua and his R&D team continued to conduct experiments in order to maximize the performance of the graphics card.
To this end, they also brought in the hardware team from Hong Kong to jointly develop and conduct public relations.
Whether it's the development of graphics cards or the matching monitors.
In terms of approach, Xing Baohua skipped over LCD technology on fluorescent screens altogether.
He was already more than a decade behind others in terms of technological accumulation, so although it was a bit late to start now, the people he recruited through headhunting firms were quite capable, and he was also generous with his money as a reward.
Many technologies that required gradual mastery have yielded results very quickly.
It must be said that as long as enough money is provided, sufficient experimental materials are provided, and the right people are selected, it is basically possible to overcome the difficulties by focusing on a few technologies that are not too difficult.
With Xing Baohua occasionally providing references and procuring reference materials, the research and development direction was correct, which accelerated the process.
The most expensive part of an LCD screen is the LCD panel technology, which Changhong has already solved. The remaining issue is the main control circuit board.
Although some things are cheap, making them is a different story.
Previously, for the sake of hype, they promoted ultra-thin monochrome LCD screens, mainly to reduce the footprint and eye strain.
The most fundamental reason is to save costs. Black and white is so much easier to do! Just a white backlight and black text. We're not processing any images or videos, just text, black and white or other monochrome will do.
It's not that I don't want to use color, but that my skill level isn't up to par.
Now, research and development is no longer possible; at least 256 true-color dishes are needed. This way, they can be displayed on a 14-inch LCD screen.
256 color depth is just about enough for a small 2.4 or 3.2-inch screen to be usable. When watching a short video or taking a photo, at least you can make out the face of the person and know who they are.
If you zoom in on a 14-inch monitor, you'll see small squares that look like a mosaic, but those are actually pixels.
How much you can see on a small screen is obvious, but it becomes clear when you zoom in.
But so what? Being able to make you see an image, that's high technology.
Of course, monitors that come with a graphics card should be sold to professional teams, such as graphics production companies, film studios, and game companies. After all, these are the types of companies that are willing to spend money to try new things.
Selling them a 256-color display would be worse than not selling it at all.
Then let's continue to increase it to 16-bit color.
This was called true color back then. It meant that 16-bit color was used in the same image, with each pixel displaying a different color.
Currently, the only LCD panel that can be paired with a 16-bit display is a TFT-LCD panel, which, combined with the backlight, can achieve the desired fine detail.
It's easier said than done. The technical difficulty lies in the combination of circuit boards and numerous chips.
Therefore, the burden of the task fell on Xing Baohua's hardware team.
Another issue is the level of LCD panel cutting technology.
This brings up the issue of yield rate.
LCD panels are produced as very large sheets, which are then laser-cut into the desired size.
This is similar to a wafer, which contains hundreds of chips. These chips also need to be cut out, and during the cutting process, chipping often occurs, damaging the internal circuitry.
Only the best and most usable products are allowed to leave the factory.
Therefore, on average, this also increases the cost.
In the early days, due to the lack of precision in laser technology or production line processes, many panels were defective.
The most common approach is categorization, such as "perfect screen," "A+ screen," "A screen," "B screen," and so on.
Aside from perfect screens, A+ or A screens are generally usable. B screens are a no-go; they're bad for your eyes and can be blindingly bright.
Display screens are made up of individual pixels, and each pixel is a transistor that controls brightness and color.
