Recently, the Hay Think team in JSBY Electronic Materials Technology Co., Ltd. saw that the second-phase plant and laboratory are under construction. At the same time, in the first phase of the laboratory, nearly a hundred researchers are simultaneously advancing dozens of research projects…With the help of talent advantages, in 2020, JSBY's total sales are expected to achieve a year-on-year increase of 200%.
JSBY mainly provides photoresist for large-scale panel manufacturers in China. This kind of high-threshold, high-value-added products has long been the core key material in the panel industry with a large amount. But before this, all high-end photoresist products depended on imports. At that time, Zong Jian, CEO of JSBY, set his sights on the field of photoresist, determined to independently develop photoresist materials and master independent intellectual property rights.
But how can companies that are in the stage from 0 to 1 realize the vision of "prying open" the technological blockade of foreign companies in the basically blank areas? Zong Jian clearly recognizes that talent is the foundation of entrepreneurship and technology is the core of entrepreneurship, and he boldly targeted the world's first group of photoresist material development experts. "Once I had a conversation with Mr. Kiyoshi Uchikawa, one of the world’s first photoresist materials scientific research experts in Japan, and I was deeply impressed." Zong Jian recalled that due to the scarcity of experts in related fields in China at that time, he had more than ten times in more than a year. Going to Japan and South Korea to recruit talents, JSBY's CTO Uchikawa Kiyoshi is one of them. Inland River Kiyo is the first group of researchers in the world to develop photoresist products, and has more than 50 international invention patents. Prior to this, he worked in Japan's largest photoresist manufacturer Tokyo Ohka and a chemical company under the South Korean Samsung Group for nearly 30 years. The products he participated in the research and development of the product once reached 50% of the global market. After many times of communication and invitations, Hei Daisi joined JSBY.
Later, as the world’s third batch of industry elites including An Junyuan, who successfully developed the light diffusing agent for LCDTV, joined in, JSBY formed a strong photoresist R&D team, laying a solid foundation for the company’s subsequent research and development of new technologies . In 2019, JSBY also successfully introduced three experts in the field of photoresist from Japan and South Korea. Up to now, the company has 9 foreign experts.
While experts from Japan and South Korea are joining one after another, JSBY also focuses on the cultivation of local talents. “There is no special subject for photoresist in China, so the R&D personnel who come to JSBY basically start from scratch.” said Zeng Liping, general manager of JSBY, “JSBY has a unique advantage in attracting talents. From the beginning of its establishment, Boyan Just invest 100 million yuan to build a high-standard laboratory, and cooperate with China's large-scale panel companies such as BOE, Shanghai INESA, and Huaxing Optoelectronics. We have the best domestic photoresist research and development laboratory and the best training opportunities here." So far, JSBY has trained more than 100 local R&D members.
As a leading company in photoresist, a key material for semiconductor display in China, JSBY has broken through the long-term technical bottleneck of local manufacturing by strengthening the cooperation between industry, university and research and introducing top technical talents at home and abroad, breaking the gap of Chinese companies in the photoresist industry for LCD panels. Promote a major breakthrough in the field of independent controllable integrated semiconductor display materials. At present, the company's photoresist materials have passed the appraisal of scientific and technological achievements, and the main technical indicators of black photoresist have reached or exceeded the level of similar products in the world. The testing, verification and mass production of vinyl products have covered more than 90% of China's LCD panels. Production capacity, becoming the only company in China that has achieved mass production of photoresist and has independent intellectual property rights. At the same time, JSBY has also undertaken a number of scientific and technological talent projects such as the national "13th Five-Year" key research and development plan, and obtained 6 authorized invention patents and 11 authorized utility model patents.
