The main products in this division include mask blanks and photomasks used in the
production of semiconductors, photomasks for the manufacture of LCD panels, glass
disks used in hard disk drives, and optical lenses for digital cameras. Functional
standards continue to rise for the end products made with these components, which
include semiconductors, LCD televisions, personal computers and digital cameras.
Hoya’s products, which are intimately involved in the production of these goods, are
expected to have ever-higher product quality and functionality. Hoya enjoys the top
market share for its flagship products in these fields. The Electro-Optics Division is a
major driver of both overall sales and profitability for the group thanks to its ability to
accurately assess the wide-ranging needs of the market and to respond to them with
the requisite high technical standards and production systems.
The Vision Care Division is engaged in the manufacture and sale of eyeglass lenses in
global markets with a focus on four regions: Japan, Europe, North America, and
Asia-Pacific. Hoya develops its businesses in this field in ways that best reflect the
varying commercial practices, laws, government regulations and consumer
preferences in each region. The company holds the top market share in Japan, and
the high quality and unquestionable value of its products continue to enhance the
presence of the Hoya brand. In Europe, and also in the Asia-Pacific region where
consumer purchasing power has grown, both sales and profits are continuing to rise
thanks to increasing demand for high-value-added products such as Hoya’s excellent
progressive and high index lenses.
●Eyeglass lenses
The Health Care Division is responsible for the development of the Eye City chain of
directly managed contact lens specialty stores, and it also produces and sells intraocular
lenses (IOLs) used in the treatment of cataracts. Eye City’s sales in Japan are the largest in
its market segment. The Eye City business continues to grow, thanks to the broad range of
excellent products sourced from Japan and overseas to meet the needs of its diverse
customers, not to mention its superior client consultation service and full range of
after-sales services. Against a background of an aging global society, Hoya continues to
invest in the development of IOL markets both in Japan and other countries. These steady
efforts are generating a good deal of success.
●Contact lenses ●Intraocular lenses (IOLs)
The Photonics Division is engaged in the development and sale of devices and
equipment that utilize lasers and UV. This industrial equipment is used to manufacture
semiconductors, LCD panels and digital cameras, and Hoya anticipates that the
Division’s business will benefit from positive synergies with the Electro-Optics
Division. Medical equipment is used in the fields of dentistry, dermatology, and plastic
and reconstructive surgery.
●UV light sources and excimer light sources
●Industrial and medical laser oscillators
Under a new concept, the Crystal Division is in the process of developing new
markets. The Service Division is mainly engaged in the development and operation of
information systems for the companies in the Hoya Group.
