fields of the automobile and parts, agricultural products processing
and others are flourishing in the city. For 8 years from 1996
to 2003, the output value of the high tech industry of Changchun
City has increased 14.4 times. The progress in science and technology
has become the motive force and strong support for the development
of the city¡¯s four major leading industries.
In
the field of photoelectronic information, Changchun has made
a number of achievements in research technology and innovation
such as the optical display series, laser and laser processing
series, medical photoelectronic series and photoelectronic device
series, with the independent intellectual property right and
a broad prospect of application. North Caijing Company is the
largest TFT manufacturer in the country. The STN high resolution
color liquid crystal display developed by Changchun Lianxin,
the LED light emitting screen and back light source developed
by Huayu Optics Valley and others lead in the country. Changchun
First Optical Instrument Factory¡¯s optical electrical encoder
has got a 60% market share in the country. A number of software
companies such as Tsinghua Tongfang, Shenyang Neusoft Co., Ltd.,
JU Zhengyuan, Jilin Hongda, Jinying Computer, FAW Qiming and
Jilian Commercial Software have penetrated into the market.
In
the fields of biology and pharmaceutical, Changchun has made
achievements at advanced national and world levels in the research
on gene engineering, cell engineering, enzyme engineering, tissue
engineering, technology for comprehensive utilization of plasma
and biofermentation technology. The three major classes of medicines,
genetically engineered medicine, vaccine and natural medicine
from animal and plant, take the lead in the country. At present,
Changchun has 10 of the 23 genetically engineered medicines
with production approval in the country. Among them, the 5 new
genetically engineered medicines such as the genetically engineered
interferons ¦Á2a and ¦Á1b and recombinant human growth hormone
came into the world in Changchun. 26 of the 35 vaccine products
in the country are produced in Changchun, so far the largest
vaccine production base in Asia, with the hepatitis A vaccine,
chicken pox vaccine, influenza vaccine and others getting more

will become the largest lysine producer in Asia. A great number
of large high tech projects such as Haoyue Group¡¯s comprehensive
development of beef cattle and Deda Company¡¯s 40000-t/a biological
bacterial fertilizer are also under construction. In the next
a few years, Dacheng, Haoyue, Deda and other leading companies
will continuously extend the industrial chain of deep processing
of corn, soybean and animal products. The projects for the production
of threonine, tryptophan, methionine, soybean peptide, biological
medicine materials will be put into operation successively.

Agricultural University (JAU), Northeast Normal University,
Changchun Biological Products Research Institute, Jilin Province
Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute, Military Supplies
University and other research and educational institutions have
respectively established more than ten research and development
centers jointly with enterprises and have developed nearly 100
biological agriculture projects, and biotechnology has been
widely used in agricultural production. A new series of verities
