Cctv news(Reporter Li Wenliang Li Wenxue) "As a science and technology worker, I pay more attention to scientific and technological innovation. In this year’s government work report, ‘ Innovation ’ The word appeared 55 times, "said Peng Shou, deputy to the National People’s Congress and president of Bengbu Glass Industry Design and Research Institute of China National Building Materials, in an interview with reporters on March 15th.
Peng Shou’s Bengbu Glass Industry Design and Research Institute mainly develops "three new" industries, namely, new glass, new materials and new energy. The 0.15mm ultra-thin touch glass developed by him leads the world in technology, relying on constant innovation.
Innovation is the first driving force to lead the development. When talking about the development of the glass industry, Peng Shou said that through scientific and technological innovation, china glass’s industry is striding from following and running to leading.
As an important field of strategic emerging industries, China’s information display material technology has been monopolized by Corning of the United States and Asahi Glass of Japan for a long time. Under the leadership of scientific research institutes and innovative enterprises, a number of high-end products such as the world’s thinnest 0.15mm touch glass and 8.5-generation TFT glass substrates with independent intellectual property rights have emerged continuously, greatly enhancing China’s economic innovation vitality and core competitiveness.
At present, many industries in china glass have been in the leading position in the world, such as float glass and photovoltaic glass, and information display glass and special glass have also reached the advanced level in the world, making it the only industry in China with independent intellectual property rights that does not need to pay patent fees abroad. In the past, all our small and medium-sized glass was imported, and now it has become a big exporter with a market share of more than 50%.

The government work report proposes to speed up the construction of an innovative country and implement the innovation-driven strategy in depth. Focusing on his own industry, Peng Shou brought four suggestions at this year’s meeting, one of which is to focus on the construction of enterprise innovation system.
Peng Shou believes that the future development will be from high speed to high quality, and from whether it is good or not, we need to pay attention to two aspects: first, structural adjustment and speeding up product upgrading; The second is to make up the shortcomings with innovation and produce more products that meet the needs of the people.
He told reporters that glass is not only the window glass we see in our lives, but also has a wide range of applications, such as information industry and automobile industry. Glass is essential, and now there are special glass and power generation glass. In Chengdu and other places, the glass curtain wall is replaced by power generation glass for the external wall of the whole factory, which is used for building integration and has become a good new energy source.
However, at present, many people don’t know enough about domestic brands and quality. Needless to say, there is still a certain gap between products that meet the daily needs of the masses. For example, in the field of display glass, the prices of mobile phones, computers and televisions are much cheaper than before. An important reason is that the cost of display glass has decreased. Therefore, it is very important to make up the shortcomings in the supply-side reform through innovation, and to produce more products that benefit ordinary people. More and more innovative achievements will make the people more sense of acquisition and happiness.
