Where are we now?
Creative display line-up offers more
options to fit your lifestyle choices
Wacom launched the “Cintiq 24HD touch” with
24.1-inch LCD, high-precision color management
and multi-touch capabilities as well as the “Cintiq
22 HD” with 21.5-inch full HD wider LCD and pen
input in July 2012. Both models boast a wide
viewing angle display and answer various require-
ments by professional users.
In March 2013, Wacom announced the “Cintiq
13HD” with full HD 13.3-inch display and thin,
compact design with 14mm height. Bundled with
a dedicated “quick-to-connect” PC cable and a
detachable stand capable of adjusting inclination
angles in varying degrees which suit work styles,
this is an ideal tool for users as they concentrate
on highly professional creative works while
extracting the best work efficiency.
Wacom firmly supports mobile device innovation
with its digital pen sensor system
The digital pen sensor system by Wacom’s Component business
group “Wacom® feel IT technologies” has been adopted by Sam-
sung Electronics Co., Ltd for its GALAXY Note II, GALAXY Note
10.1 and GALAXY Note 8.0 and rolled out globally. The Wacom®
feel IT technologies have been widely adopted by various tablets
powered by Windows 8 and spread its scope to smartphones, tab-
lets, personal computers as well as e-book terminals. The wacom
feel IT technologies are expected to be embraced by an increasing
number of mobile products. Wacom transferred 4.97% of its stock
to Samsung Electronics to ensure its medium delete the dash after
"medium" and long-term growth by forming a capital alliance with
Samsung Electronics.
Each model of “Bamboo Stylus” is very comfortable for
writing or drawing on smartphones and tablets and feels
good in the hand thanks to its ideal gravity balance. Since
its launch two years ago, Bamboo Stylus has been selling
well and Wacom is planning to reinforce the line-up as
“digital stationary.”
Wacom was awarded with “Best IR Award for Small &
Medium Cap. Companies” by the Japan Investor Relations
Association, which is given to small and medium-size com-
panies within 10 years after listing to the Tokyo Stock
Exchange. Wacom top management’ s commitment to IR
activities and business consistency were quoted as rea-
sons for the award. We have also been receiving positive
comments from analysts such as “financial results briefing
materials are detailed and easy to understand.”
