The analysis is based on patent data from China\u2019s A-share listed companies from 2012 to 2021. The results show a continuous increase in network scale and structural complexity, with intensified cross-domain interactions. The company collaboration subnetwork evolved from decentralization to a more centralized structure, while the technology convergence subnetwork expanded and became increasingly complex. Core technologies maintained dominant positions, and the co-evolution between companies and technologies showed sustained development. This study reveals intricate interdependencies between technological convergence and company collaboration, providing theoretical insights and practical implications for digital technology innovation and strategic decision-making.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems12100421","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,9]],"date-time":"2024-10-09T12:22:48Z","timestamp":1728476568000},"page":"421","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Dynamic Evolution Analysis of Digital Technology Multilayer Convergence Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Qianying","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The College of Economics and Management, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tingli","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The College of Economics and Management, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-0353-3010","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tingyang","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The College of Economics and Management, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qingqing","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The College of Economics and Management, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"75","article-title":"Research on Innovation Network Evolution of OLED Technology Based on Patent Information","volume":"38","author":"Chunlin","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
