At that time, Xing Baohua bought digital cameras with relevant technology from Kodak. However, Kodak considered them useless and sold them because someone was willing to pay for them.
Their idea was that developing digital cameras would cause traditional film to disappear from the market.
In fact, the research and development costs of digital cameras are extremely high.
Putting everything else aside, the cost of storage alone is beyond what ordinary people can afford.
The camera is convenient and easy to use. When it needs power, it only needs two alkaline batteries at most.
Digital cameras, whether for storing images or developing photos, require specialized equipment.
Traditionally, developing photographs involves using chemicals in a darkroom and then letting them dry.
But if you want to develop photos from a digital camera, you have to print them.
Equipment that can print photos is also not cheap.
Moreover, the most crucial component of digital cameras is the power supply. Although the batteries can be replaced, a considerable number of batteries are used, and they consume a lot of power.
So they sold it as a worthless item.
This thing is a treasure in Xing Baohua's hands. He got it back and had it studied. He was busy doing other things, but now, while working on the LCD, he suddenly thought of photos and videos.
Besides the scanner, which can upload pictures, there's also a digital camera!
What if you need to develop photos? Wang An printer technology is currently only used in office equipment.
Wang An's printing technology was also popular in the United States for a period of time. Some of it used thermal technology, but some used inkjet technology.
Well, it has spurred quite a few derivative technologies.
If we're going to do it, we should do it with a complete set of components. While we're not running around, we should hurry up and develop it.
To support digital cameras, we implemented color printing technology, which wasn't technically difficult and we thoroughly researched it. The only challenge was adding a color inkjet printer; initially, the hardware team's plan was to add one printhead per color.
Why do office or home printers have so many printheads? It's not like we're developing a printing press.
Two nozzles are enough, and that's how it was done in later generations: one nozzle composed of three primary colors and one nozzle composed of pure black.
Once the tone is set, we can begin. The amount of color oil to spray and the combination of different colors all need to be digitally controlled.
Therefore, the software team writes the program for the hardware IC, and the colors displayed by the program that is paired with the display are used to mix colors in a color printer.
Xing Baohua looked at the ugly, bulky digital camera and was still somewhat speechless.
This isn't handheld anymore, it's being carried on your shoulder. With the outer casing on your shoulder, can it just be used to take pictures like a camera?
However, looking at the ugly thing, Xing Baohua had a new idea: what is the resolution of traditional 35mm film?
A roll of film can only be used for a little over four minutes before needing to be replaced. How long can a hard drive last?
Conversion is needed, experiments are needed, and the results...
