Photonics
Hoya’s Photonics division provides a range of optical equipment (incorporating laser and UV
light) based on practical applications of optics technologies. Customers are in such diverse areas
as industry and medical treatment. This division is mainly conducted by two organizations: HOYA
PHOTONICS, INC., which produces and sells laser equipment for medical use, and HOYA
CANDEO OPTRONICS CORPORATION, which was established at the end of 2003 as part of
a restructuring of several diverse companies in the Hoya Group that had been engaged in the
provision of specialized light sources and optics businesses for the electronics industry.
In the area of medical treatment, products include laser scalpels used in surgery and laser
equipment used in dental treatment, dermatology and plastic surgery. In the industrial area,
products include specialized light source equipment using UV and excimer light sources, as well
as laser oscillator and laser marker equipment used in the semiconductor manufacturing process.
All of these industrial products target customers in the semiconductor industries, so we expect
that the recent business restructure will yield powerful synergies.
In Latin, “Candeo” means “to shine.” In the truest sense of the term, the goal is for both
Hoya and its products to “shine” in a unique way.
