Optics Business Strategy Going Forward
In the Optics Business we have continued to position
the TAC film business as our main revenue base for
the next three years. For other business units we will
firmly grasp growth opportunities, with a view to
establishing secondary and tertiary pillars of revenue.
Our quantitative targets for this Business are for sales
of ¥200 billion by FY March 2014.
In terms of growth drivers, we will focus on thinner
TAC films, growth areas in optical units, and new
fields.
In TAC films, we will launch new VA-TAC products
that adapt to new technologies such as LED
backlights, 3D, and other advances in large-screen
LCD televisions, taking advantage of our strength in thin and extra-wide films. We also intend to develop new
customers by launching products for IPS panels, and to expand our customer base by meeting prices in the
Chinese market.
In the optical unit field, over the next three years we plan to expand our business scale in growth areas, namely
lens units for smartphones and digital cinemas, and interchangeable lenses for digital single-lens reflex
cameras.
In new fields, we will accelerate the commercialization of LED lighting components so that these can contribute
to earnings. In three years time, we aim to raise their share of sales to around 10% of the total for the Optics
Business.
