Abstract: Technological learning is an important way for latecomer firms to realize technological catch-up. However, the linear model of knowledge accumulation which means “introduction- study- absorption- recombination- innovation” is unsustainable for that time cost of learning old technology is increasing with the contraction of technology cycle. In such circumstances, the passage selects a firm named Shenzhen China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT) as a case, and describes its process from integrating the product knowledge among module, panel and system, market demand knowledge and external knowledge of upstream and downstream firms to forming the synchronous design capability of product, craft and architecture and the capability to build line, and realizing fast catching-up of LCD panel technology finally. The case that CSOT realizes catching-up by integrating knowledge is a helpful exploring for Chinese local firms. It provides technological catching-up in contemporary China with new means-knowledge integration linking scattered and fragmented knowledge and reconstructing new knowledge as well as unlearns the traditional linear model of knowledge accumulation.
