Growth Strategy Q&A
In the Optics Business, Konica Minolta has two areas where it excels in the field of TAC films, thinner
TAC and extra-wide technologies. Armed with these advantages, we will further fortify our position in VA-
TAC films for increasing viewing angles used in large-screen LCD TVs. Films for IPS panels used in smartphones
and tablet PCs are another area we are targeting for business expansion. In the field of optical units, our goal is to
expand sales of products for mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras and smartphones, since future growth is
expected for both products. In terms of new fields, LED lighting is a next-generation lighting market that continues
to expand at a rapid pace. We plan to release a host of products for this market, accelerating our development of a
viable business that leverages Konica Minolta's strength in optical technologies.
