Recently, Dongxu Group's "King Panda" second-generation high-end cover glass production line project started construction in Mianyang City, Sichuan Province. The project is a representative project of the Mianyang branch of the "Sichuan Province 2020 Fourth Quarter Major Project Concentration Conference", which will build China's largest secondary reinforced cover glass production base. This project is another major progress after Dongxu Group started the construction of a series of new display key material "largest" localization projects such as Anyang in Henan and Tianshui in Gansu, which will further ensure the security of the domestic new display supply chain.
In recent years, the new display represented by flexible display has developed rapidly, and the global display industry is in a strategic window period for the transformation and iteration of new and old technologies. As a national strategic industry, if the core technology cannot be controlled independently, it is likely to face the survival problem of being surrounded and suppressed by foreign giants. As a leading enterprise in the localization of display materials in China, Dongxu Group has fully implemented the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee, continued to carry out technological innovation and industrial large-scale layout of new display key materials, accelerated the opening up of the display industry "domestic large cycle, domestic and international double cycle", and maintained national industrial security.
Build The largest secondary tempered glass production base in China
It is reported that the second-generation project of "King Panda" is jointly built by Dongxu Optoelectronics, a listed company under Dongxu Group, and the Management Committee of Mianyang Economic Development Zone, which is also another fruitful result of the ten-year government-enterprise cooperation between Dongxu and Mianyang City.
Mianyang City, as the only science and technology city in China approved by the State Council, attaches great importance to the development of high-tech industries, Dongxu Optoelectronics and its subsidiaries are one of the representatives of the local high-tech industry, and also an important part of the development of the new display industry chain, playing the role of "supplementing the chain, strengthening the chain, extending the chain" and enhancing the competitiveness of the display industrial cluster.
The relevant person in charge of the Economic Development Zone of Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, pointed out that in recent years, the Mianyang Economic Development Zone has firmly seized the major opportunity of Mianyang to accelerate the construction of China's science and technology city and the modern and strong city in the western region, giving priority to the development of advanced manufacturing, and the introduction of high-end cover projects will have a positive impact on the high-quality economic development of the economic development zone.
It is understood that the product involved in the construction project "King Panda" second-generation high-end cover glass is one of the core independent innovation products of Dongxu Optoelectronics - "King Panda" cover glass upgrade products, belongs to the secondary reinforced cover glass, compared with the previous generation in flexibility, bending strength, strong scratch resistance, high resistance and other performance is better, especially the fall resistance height is 5 times higher than the previous generation, once again breaking the international technology monopoly, the localization of China's high-end cover glass to another new height.
According to Yuan Tong, vice chairman and secretary general of the China Electronic Materials Industry Association, due to the use of millimeter wave technology in 5G mobile phones, which are greatly affected by obstacles, metal and plastic back covers are very easy to interfere with signals, which will inevitably be eliminated in the 5G era, and will be replaced by a "double glass structure", that is, the front and back covers of mobile phones are made of glass. Therefore, the requirements for the strength of the cover glass will be higher in the future, and the demand for fall-resistant glass will surge.
Therefore, the improvement of the fall resistance of the cover glass has become a strong demand for the 5G mobile phone supply chain. The research and development of the second generation of "King Panda" high-end cover glass successfully solved the pain points of the industry in a timely manner, and was tested and verified by well-known domestic smart phone manufacturers, and the indicators reached the international leading level. According to the person in charge of dongxu optoelectronics related technology, the large-scale industrialization of the product will effectively promote the localization of high-end touch protection glass, break the passive situation of China's mobile phone industry in high-end touch protection glass and 5G back cover materials, and can reduce the cost of the industry by about 30%.
Continue to ensure the security of the new display domestic supply chain
On November 24, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said at the 2020 World Display Industry Conference that with the in-depth development of the new generation of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, the new display, as the information carrier and human-computer interaction window of the digital age, is accelerating the development to intelligence, ubiquity and refinement, and is deeply integrated with emerging industries such as 5G communications, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, intelligent cars, and ultra-high-definition video, which has a profound and extensive impact on the economy and society. At present, the new display industry is becoming an important driving force for upgrading new consumption, strengthening the digital economy, and developing the information industry.
In recent years, under the guidance of policies, capital pursuit and technology, China's new display industry has entered the "100 billion era" and has become an important pole of the global display industry. As a pioneer in the localization of display materials in China, Dongxu Group has repeatedly broken the international monopoly of core technology, and its scientific and technological research and development and production capacity of liquid crystal glass substrate and high-end cover glass rank first in China and the forefront of the world, and has won the first prize and second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award. As early as 4 years ago, Dongxu Group has begun to look forward to the layout of iterative technology in the display industry. In 2020, Dongxu's core industrial technology has made frequent breakthroughs in good news, and has repeatedly broken the international technology monopoly in the fields of key display materials such as OLED carrier plate glass, high-end curved glass, and ultra-thin flexible glass, and the product indicators have reached the international first-class level.
Since August this year, Dongxu Group has accelerated the large-scale industrialization of new display core technologies, and has reached a number of cooperation and started construction with Anyang in Henan and Tianshui in Gansu in promoting the localization of new display materials. A series of major projects such as China's largest OLED plate glass production base jointly built by Dongxu Group and local governments will effectively ensure the localization of upstream display materials after the iteration of new panel technology, and build a solid moat for "China Screen".
Li Zhaoting, chairman of Dongxu Group, said that accelerating the construction of a new development pattern of "taking the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other" is a powerful strategy for China's economy to move towards a key stage of high-quality development. The Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China also proposed that we should adhere to the core position of innovation in the overall situation of China's modernization drive. This makes us enterprises who have the heart of industry to serve the country feel very excited, and strengthen the confidence and courage of independent innovation.
In the current situation of intensifying international trade frictions, the high-tech field has become an important part of international competition, the protection of core industrial technology security and localization of supply chain security has become the key to victory, the improvement of the independent innovation ability of leading enterprises in subdivision fields, as well as the forward-looking layout and landing of new technologies, will provide inexhaustible impetus for the overall development of China's high-tech product industry chain.
Li Zhaoting said that defending the safety of China's national industry is a belief that Dongxu has been adhering to for many years. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Dongxu will continue to pay close attention to cutting-edge technologies, increase independent research and development and continuous innovation, and strive to increase the localization rate of core new display materials to 30% to 40% in 3-5 years, achieve a greater degree of domestic substitution, and contribute to improving national industrial security.
