Outstanding optical technologies
for the industrial and medical fields
Hoya’s photonics business develops practical applications for the
optical technologies that the company has amassed over the
years, mostly for equipment such as laser oscillators and UV light
source devices. These devices are used in the production of
digital equipment and in dental and dermatological treatment.
In the industrial field, the Photonics Division offers products
such as defect correction equipment used in the production of flat
panel displays and laser oscillators used in highly precise
processing, such as analysis aid processing, in semiconductor
production. Other key products include the ultraviolet light
sources used to cure UV resins in the bonding of optical parts,
such as those found in optical pickups and camera modules.
Additional products include glass for electronic materials,
such as the color filters and other specialty glasses used in a wide
variety of products and fields—cameras, optical parts, industrial
production, medical equipment and instructional materials. Hoya
provides many kinds of specialty glasses for different applications.
Hoya seeks to boost the competitive standing of each of
its products through its technological development efforts, and
also devotes its energies to market research that allows the
company to offer appropriate solutions to each and every
client. Hoya has established a local subsidiary in South Korea
and a branch office in Taiwan as part of its strategy to build
capacity to offer thoroughgoing after-sales support near clients
with Asian production bases. Hoya is also working to develop
products that even more precisely meet these users’ needs.
Into the future, Hoya will continue to offer its clients greater
value by improving equipment functionality, and introducing
new, client-driven products.
The equipment that Hoya supplies for medical use includes a
laser device that permits dental treatment with little pain, and
another laser device that is used by dermatologists and plastic
surgeons to remove birthmarks and spots. Hoya strives to
develop minimally invasive laser-based medical equipment, with
the objectives of facilitating major progress in medical treatment
and an improvement in the quality of life of those being treated.
