Seeing Wu Hao's arrival, everyone who was busy greeted him one after another.
When the two young men who were bent over their work saw him, they immediately came up to him and said, "Mr. Wu."
"Pengfei, Zihua, I heard that your project has made progress." Wu Hao asked with a smile.
These two young men are both around thirty years old. Both have doctorates in optical technology. Both graduated from well-known domestic polytechnics and are engaged in the field of optical technology research.
The shorter one, Sun Pengfei, once worked briefly at a well-known Japanese camera company called Optical Research, but he ultimately chose to resign because he could not accept its special corporate culture.
Yao Zihua, as for Yao Zihua, has been engaged in research work in technical theory at school. After rejecting the invitation to stay at the school to teach, he joined the company and was jointly responsible for the research work of the optical imaging technology laboratory with Sun Pengfei.
In terms of optical imaging technology research, or in terms of cameras, there are too many well-known companies around the world. For example, Leica, which is well-known through mobile phone camera technology, and Suha, Olympus, and Binde, which are not well-known.
, and the well-known names like Jianeng, Soni, Nikkang, Fushi, etc. among our Chinese people.
These companies not only produce cameras, but also produce a variety of lenses, cameras and other photosensitive components.
These cameras, lenses and photosensitive components are also used in a wide range of fields, ranging from remote sensing satellites in the sky, to various cameras, surveillance cameras, and the cameras we all use, as well as various digital products and our mobile phones.
Camera technology, etc., all come from these companies.
Although our country has achieved good technological research results in various fields, in terms of optical imaging technology, it seriously lags behind the world's powerful countries.
Today's optical imaging technology has also become one of the important areas that the West has blocked us, and it has strict restrictions on us to this day. The technical knowledge we can use is ordinary civilian technology on the market, such as some high-end optical imaging technology and equipment products
They are all strictly restricted for us.
Of course, under such a strict blockade, we have also achieved good results in this field. For example, lenses, the high-precision lenses grinded by our domestic lens manufacturers have reached the international leading level and are widely used in
Among the various products of these famous camera companies.
It seems that this market is very prosperous, but in fact this is just the collateral benefit brought by mobile devices, especially mobile phone digital products.
Under the encroachment of these new products, such as smartphones, tablets, web cameras, and Wu Hao’s smart AR glasses, the space for traditional camera products to survive is getting smaller and smaller.
In fact, camera technology has not undergone major changes for many years. The current camera technology is almost the same as it was decades ago. It’s just that with the advancement of technology, there have been iterative upgrades. The technology is still the same as before.
.
Take the most important lens of a camera as an example. What is the difference between the latest lenses today and the lenses from decades or even hundreds of years ago? It’s just that the workmanship is better and more lenses are used.
Take the lenses on smartphones and mobile devices, which are the most obvious lens iterative upgrades at present, and which we are most familiar with. In order to pursue higher shooting quality, major mobile phone manufacturers are racking their brains to continuously improve the camera technology of mobile phones.
The development of mobile phone lenses also began immediately, and new products and technologies continued to emerge. Even the pixels of these mobile phone cameras have increased from hundreds of thousands of pixels to millions of pixels at the beginning, to hundreds of millions of pixels today.
However, the photos taken are still the same, and cannot be compared with a SLR with only 10 or 20 million pixels.
Why can SLRs have such good imaging effects? This is mainly due to the lens, which is the biggest feature that distinguishes them from ordinary digital cameras. Digital cameras that were very popular in the past have gradually disappeared under the huge wave of smart phones, but SLRs are still
Strong and the threshold for professional photography.
It's like if you don't have a SLR camera, you would be embarrassed to tell others that you are a professional photographer.
In order to pursue higher shooting quality, or to catch up with SLRs, smartphones have made a lot of efforts in recent years. One of the biggest breakthroughs or phenomena is that there are more lenses on mobile phones.
One is not enough, two is not enough, two is not enough, four are not enough, and there are even five-camera and six-camera mobile phones. In line with the principle that I have more lenses than you, so I can take better pictures than you, crazy adding cameras to it. Even
Some companies also add some low-end cameras to make up for this.
What about super wide angle, super telephoto, macro, depth of field, black and white, etc., just to show off your own lenses.
If it weren’t for the strong debut of Wu Hao’s smart AR glasses, I’m afraid this smartphone would still have ten cameras. In fact, some mobile phones are almost there, with dual selfie cameras on the front and six cameras on the back, which is already eight cameras.
.
Although everyone is releasing smart AR glasses now, smartphones are not extinct. There are still some new mobile phone routes being released.
Even major manufacturers such as HWei and Blue and Green Factory have not given up on the research and development of mobile phones while developing AR glasses.
Now both Blue and Green Factory and H Wei are staring at Wu Hao’s transparent mobile phone screen, hoping that this transparent screen can be successfully used in mobile phones.
However, the current output of this transparent screen is relatively low, and it can only supply Wu Hao's transparent tablet needs, so he has not agreed to the other party's request for the time being.
It seems that lens technology has stagnated now, and there are only a few changes in how to change it. What major lens manufacturers are doing now is nothing more than brushing up data. There are not many real new technologies, or even none.
Even the latest periscope telephoto lens technology, which H first applied to his mobile phone a few years ago, is actually a very early technology. This technology can be traced back to World War I and World War II, and was used in trenches on the battlefield.
A periscope observation scope for observing the battlefield environment inside.
Later, this technology was also used on submarines, which became the very representative and symbolic periscope on submarines.
The innovation of H Wei is that it uses this technology to successfully enable ultra-long-distance photography on thin and light mobile phones.
Apart from these, there seems to be nothing else. In recent years, mobile phone manufacturers or lens manufacturers have been constantly competing for mobile phone pixels, which is actually in terms of photosensitive components.
Therefore, countless optical technology researchers are thinking about what the next generation of lens technology will be and what changes will occur in lens technology.
Although some theories and opinions have been put forward one after another, until today, there is still no unified consensus.
