Chapter 2907 Single Sided Screen

Xiao Qi's shoulder injury was actually almost healed after a week.

It was all thanks to Lu Qin's brothers who took out the plaster handed down from the Lu family and applied it to Xiao Qi, and because he was young and strong, he recovered very well.

Just to be on the safe side, Xiao Qi still can't move his shoulders much, but apart from not using too much force, it's nothing to eat and sleep on weekdays.

Of course, this will not affect Xiao Qi's work.

However, seeing the little boss come to work in the company with a bandage, a group of little beautiful secretaries felt distressed and funny.

They had never seen Xiao Qi in such a mess.

But they are generally one or two years older than Xiao Qi, so this has aroused their motherhood, and they are willing to take care of Xiao Qi more.

In fact, if it wasn't for Xiao Qi's strong request, they would all feed Xiao Qi.

Regardless of these things, when Xiao Qi's injury was almost healed, another good news came from the laboratory.

With the efforts of dozens of research talents, another achievement of DreamStars3 - the single side screen, has finally been matched with the mobile phone!

Speaking of which, the general engineering machine of DreamStars3 is almost finished.

On DreamStars3, in addition to the upgrade and innovation of the software system, Xiao Qi also arranged two major highlights for it. The first is the sapphire screen that can smash ordinary walnuts, and the other is the single-sided screen.

The so-called side screen refers to the two vertical sections on the side of the phone. Now Xiao Qi has made the right vertical section into a single side screen.

In the past, it was just a metal frame, which belonged to the bracket structure of the whole mobile phone. Now Xiao Qi has pasted a layer of touch screen on the outside of the right frame, as if the two sides of the mobile phone are wrapped by the screen.

Of course, there is an unconventional mobile phone in Russia, which also makes the back of the mobile phone a screen. If it can be unfolded into a complete screen, there are many technical things involved, and it may not be completed within three to five years.

If there is no breakthrough in OLED foldable LCD screens, there is still no way to complete such a foldable LCD screen.

For now, the most distinctive feature is naturally the single-curved LCD screen of DreamSnow2. This curved screen brings surprises to people and is called a perfect breakthrough, so DreamSnow2 is also selling very well. , 60 million units a month is simply not enough to sell.

It's not that Xiao Qi didn't think about whether to make a hyperboloid screen on DreamStars3, like Samsung's Galaxy S6.

But hyperboloids and single-curved surfaces are actually a concept, usually a little bit more technically difficult, but it is not the kind of innovation that surprises people again, and DreamStars3 will not be different from DreamSnow2 because of this—just like them The price is the same!

So Xiao Qi finally decided to make the hyperboloid screen an innovation of DreamSnow3 or DreamSnow4, and regard the single-sided screen as a highlight of DreamStars3.

Compared with the technology on the single curved surface, the technology on the single side is more difficult. In terms of aesthetics and generosity, the single side is also superior.

The single-side screen is naturally easier than the double-side screen, because there are several buttons on the side screen, such as volume adjustment, power switch, etc., which cannot be eliminated temporarily, and it seems nondescript to move to the upper and lower vertical sections. Some, so the other side is used as the location of the function keys.

Of course, with the current Fairy Lab technology, it’s not impossible to make double-sided screens, but good things can’t be given away at once, can they? So let's wait for the future DreamStars series products to realize the double-sided screen!

One big advantage of the single-sided screen is that you don’t have to worry about your fingers touching the wrong screen, which will cause misoperation.

Because the single-sided screen is in the vertical section, it is a separate screen.

Moreover, the function of a single-sided screen is actually different from that of a single-curved screen.

The single-curved screen is a derivative of the main screen, while the single-sided screen can exist completely independently.

For example, if the phone is locked, the main screen will have no power, and the single-curved screen cannot be used anymore.

However, because the single-side screen is not the same screen as the main screen, it can use its own functions independently even after the main screen is locked.

For example, you can turn on the ambient light to make the side flash with fluorescent colors, and you can also set the date, time, temperature and other displays that will never be black, so that you can see these information at any time.

From a practical point of view, the side screen does not have much effect, and the vertical section with a width of less than one centimeter cannot carry too many functions at all.

In order to make the vertical section more convenient to watch and not too flat, the width of DreamStars3 is increased by 0.2 cm.

Such changes are usually invisible, but once the side screen function is turned on, it is really beautiful and dazzling.

The colorful light that can be set by oneself, in a dark room, is like the light of meteors, just looking at it like this makes me like it.

The display function of those side screens saves people from grabbing their phones and turning on the screen to see them. Whether they are lying or sitting, they can see them by turning their heads.

When Xiao Qi saw the results of the laboratory, he couldn't help admiring. This kind of industrial aesthetics really makes people fascinated. No wonder Apple can be sold all over the country just because of the word "beautiful".

To make a product, there are two most important things.

The first is quality and the second is cost.

Quality includes all aspects, including appearance, hardware, software, etc. Only when these aspects are done well can people buy it.

Whether there is sincerity can be known from the appearance first.

For example, when comparing the smartphones of Fairy and Apple with the smartphones of Nokia and Motorola, everyone can see the difference.

The so-called feelings can make people buy one or two such mobile phones, but if there are too many, they will definitely not buy it, especially when the competitors are so powerful.

This is not the same as looking for a store when eating. You can eat the same thing repeatedly, but you can’t maintain long-term interest in consumer electronics products. It’s normal to like the new and dislike the old.

Otherwise, with Nokia's 11 consecutive years as the world's No. 1 mobile phone sales record, it is impossible to be acquired by Microsoft in just a few years.

Under the premise of quality first, the second cost is also very important.

In the previous life, Apple's cost control was very good. Even after adding the cost of hardware and software, plus marketing and other expenses, the profit is usually more than 38%, which is very high.

It is precisely because of such a high profit that Apple can invest more in various aspects of research and development, such as smart watches, smart TVs, smart cars, etc., to enrich its product lineup; To better provide developers with an APP development platform, so that millions of software companies and designers can continue to enrich the camp of APPSTORE.

If it is a company with lower profits, such as Xiaomi, you can always see that they have not made much progress in the development of product quality. The progress from Xiaomi 1 to Xiaomi 3 is just an improvement in hardware standards. It doesn't matter much to develop your own product technology.

As for the appearance and other designs, there is nothing to say.

Another example is Samsung, which once occupied 60% of the global smartphone market with its smartphone-sea tactics, earning huge profits.

And the huge profits can also allow Samsung to spend more money on promotion and marketing, and advertisements for their mobile phones are everywhere. This is one of the reasons why consumers have a good impression of Samsung, and it is also one of the reasons why they can continue to attract people's attention. one.

In retrospect, Fairy Company is the same.

To be able to develop all kinds of new technologies, it is all by spending money to win!

Without the support of ultra-high profits, Fairy Lab would not be able to spend more than 300 billion yuan a year, and there is no fear of further additions.

Therefore, Fairy Company must also control the cost of its products.

The cost of the same electronic component is constantly decreasing with the development of technology.

Although there will be a certain increase in cost due to the replacement of parts and components, this can just be neutralized so that the overall cost will not increase.

What has been mentioned above is only the natural adjustment of costs, and there is another way to actively adjust them.

Now DreamStars3, the increased cost can be quite a lot, that is, the sapphire screen and the single-sided screen, which have increased by 10% compared to the original cost.

In order to reduce this increased cost, Fairy Lab has conducted various experiments.

In the end, the costs of DreamStars3 and DreamStars2 were finally equalized through cost reduction in the four aspects of LCD panels, flash memory chips, sensor components, and wireless modules.

It is so simple to say, but for these costs, Fairy Lab has put in a lot of effort.

Their hard work is of course worthwhile. On the basis of not increasing the cost, adding the two functions of sapphire screen and single-side screen, DreamStars3 must be a top-notch mobile phone again! (To be continued ~^~.)
