NEW
BUSINESSES
Solar Tech Business:
“Photovoltaic Power Conditioner”
This DSP*1control technology to main-
tain high power conversion efficiency
even when electricity generation from
a solar battery is low.
LED applied technology
Applying LED technologies amassed in
its printer business, OKI is developing
ultrasmall displays and other new busi-
nesses slated for future growth.
Targeting renewed growth,
OKI actively pursues
new business opportunities
based on unique
technologies amassed
within the Group.
Tapping new businesses focusing
on energy and the environment
Today, OKI is bringing together its technological expertise and know-how
to pursue new businesses in energy- and environment-related fields with
the potential of becoming future growth pillars of the Group. Three areas
of current focus are the chemical substances in products management
systems business, the solar tech business, and the LED applied business.
With respect to the chemical substances in products management sys-
tems business, we address the increasing “Green Procurement” needs of
customers amid heightened concerns about the environment. We provide
packaged information on chemical substances management and data col-
lection system, originally designed for the OKI Group, to unaffiliated
customers. Our offerings extend beyond provision of systems to include
consulting services related to chemical substance information manage-
ment. In addition to these in-house initiatives, we are working to expand
our business utilizing collaborating channels.
In the solar tech business, we offer power conditioners for use in pho-
tovoltaic power generation systems. We are providing products for
thin-film panels, where future growth is expected, using our technological
strengths in high-frequency insulation type and DSP full digital control.
In the LED applied business, we deploy LED and Epi Film Bonding
technology*2, cultivated by the printer business, to new areas including
displays. As the first step in display devices, we have successfully devel-
oped a 1.1-inch QVGA high-brightness LED display with low power
consumption. Going forward, we plan to enter the market for head-up dis-
plays and use that field as a springboard for further business expansion.
