KONICA MINOLTA HOLDINGS, INC. 2004
Konica Minolta continued to maintain a strong performance in its core
optical pickup lens operations on the strength of unparalleled techno-
logical capabilities, market position, and the wide range of its prod-
ucts. In addition, the Company’s strategic components business, which
is driven by optics technologies, a field in which we excel, and
includes such products as lens units for digital cameras and microlens-
es for camera-equipped mobile phones, benefited from vigorous mar-
ket growth and expanded sales.
Furthermore, Konica Minolta worked to expand sales of TAC film
and other high-value-added products to capitalize on the strong growth
in LCD-related markets, including large-scale monitors and LCD televi-
sion sets, and achieved substantial sales growth.
