“Industrialization project of new inorganic dispersion for display” won the first place in the competition enterprise group

According to the news of Shandong new material industry association on December 9, 2021, in the final of the second Shandong new material industry innovation and entrepreneurship competition, Shandong Sinocera Functional Material Co.Ltd(300285) won the first place in the enterprise group by virtue of the industrialization project of new inorganic dispersion for display. The research and development of the project is mainly aimed at the physical harm of the display screen to the majority of the audience and the problem of large power consumption. By adding inorganic dispersion functional layer, the refractive index can be adjusted to reduce eye damage and greatly reduce energy consumption. The key to the successful R & D of this new material lies in the accumulation of core technology for Shandong Sinocera Functional Material Co.Ltd(300285) years, which has solved the “neck sticking” problem of China in this field, filled the technical gap, broken the foreign monopoly and effectively promoted the development of the industry.

Based on the company’s deep cultivation achievements in hydrothermal technology and the independently developed inorganic powder surface modification technology, the project develops the product BPMA (biphenyl methanol acrylate) zirconia dispersion, benchmarking the Japanese catalyst product BZA (benzyl acrylate) zirconia dispersion and the Korean KPX product PBA (3-phenylbenzylacrylate) zirconia dispersion. The refractive index of the product is as high as 1.70. The core index of the product is higher than that of similar foreign products. At the same time, it also performs well in other performance indexes such as light transmittance, viscosity and stability. The research and development of product dispersion of this project breaks the monopoly pattern of Japanese and Korean enterprises on key raw materials of new display, fills the technical gap of key optical materials in the field of new display in China, solves the key “neck” technology applied by Chinese new display enterprises, and is conducive to promoting the comprehensive localization and substitution of key technologies of new display in China.
