New Projects
Short overview of the development and improvement of new products.

Ceramic Displays

The world’s first piezoelectric ceramic displays:

  • Higher resolution than LED, full colours, extremely slim, wide viewing angle.
  • Easy input by simple connection with the computer, no screen memory effect.
  • Flexible screen size and shape available due to tiled structure of 9 cm2 panels.

Suitable for displays of advertisement / information at indoor facilities : e.g. railway stations, airports, shopping malls and factories.

Ceramic Components for Semi-Conductor Production Equipment

Mainly for the etching process where extremely high temperatures and corrosive gases are applied.
High performance ceramics from AlN (aluminum nitride) tremendously extend the life of components:

  • Heat resistance.
  • Corrosion resistance.
Micro Ceramic Actuators for Color Printers

Super-fine ink jet printing method that facilitates photo-equivalent quality for desktop-printers.

DNA Micro Arrays

Realizing mass-production of DNA Micro Arrays for gene analysis, using MC actuator technology. Being adopted among various DNA researchers both in industrial & academic fields
Huge potential market expected in future, the arrays to be used also in gene diagnosis.
Fluorescence patterns show whether each gene is functioning properly.

  • Yellow / white spots: Genes acting properly.
  • Green / blue spots: Genes inactive.
