Two hands firmly grasp each other, unleashing dynamic power.
HOYA Corporation has built its expertise in advanced optics technologies into a powerful presence in
two main fields of business: Information Technology and Eye Care.
Hoya holds a strong market share in a variety of specialized areas.
In the Information Technology field, the Company manufactures products that are essential to digital consumer
electronics, such as the optical lenses used in digital cameras and the glass disks in hard disk drives (HDDs) found in
personal computers and portable music players. Hoya also produces the mask blanks and photomasks required for
the development of semiconductors and liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
In the Eye Care field, Hoya is widely respected as a manufacturer of eyeglass lenses and contact lenses.
Hoya is devoting all of its energies to continued success in these two fields of business.
