CANON ANNUAL REPORT 201044
Since its release of the world’s fi rst digital X-ray system, CXDI-11, in
1998, Canon has contributed to digital evolution in diagnostic imag-
ing. As X-ray imaging equipment continues to go digital, Canon
launched its fi rst wireless digital radiography system, CXDI-70C
Wireless, in October 2010.
Capable of wireless image transmission, the lightweight CXDI-70C
Wireless provides great portability and fl exible usage. Its outer di-
mension is the same as that of conventional fi lm cassettes, allowing
for an easy conversion of analog systems into digital. A new Canon-
developed glass substrate with a pixel pitch of 125 microns achieves
high-precision, high-resolution imaging. Also, the CXDI-70 Wireless is
equipped with a highly sensitive cesium iodide (CsI) scintillator, which
delivers high-quality images and reduces X-ray exposure to patients.
Focus on Change—CXDI-70C Wireless Digital Radiography System
2010 Review—INDUSTRY AND OTHERS BUSINESS UNIT
Net sales increased
20.9% year on year to
¥433.0 billion. In line with
the recovery in capital
investment by semicon-
ductor and LCD panel
manufacturers, Canon
expanded sales volume.
In semiconductor
lithography equipment,
sales were strong for
products targeting manu-
facturers of memory,
sensor and imaging
devices. In particular,
products based on Canon’s FPA-5500 platform, which
boasts excellent stability and reliability, were received
well in the markets of Japan, Taiwan and South Korea.
In LCD lithography equipment, our ability to install
systems quickly helped customers promote their busi-
ness strategies. Sales of the MPAsp-H700 series for
eighth-generation mirror projection aligners were
particularly robust.
In digital radiography systems, the market for static
X-ray imaging systems expanded, especially in China.
Meanwhile, released in 2009, the CXDI-55C/55G fl at
panel detector saw increased sales in Japan, Europe
and the United States.
In ophthalmic
equipment, sales of
the CX-1 mydriatic/
non-mydriatic two-
in-one digital retinal
camera contributed
to overall segment
performance. Also,
sales of Optical
Coherence Tomog-
raphy (OCT) sys-
tems of Canon subsidiary OPTOPOL Technology S.A.
grew, especially in Europe, pushing up segment sales.
In other categories, the industrial systems of Group
companies performed robustly, including Canon
Machinery Inc.’s BESTEM series of die bonders and
Canon ANELVA Corporation’s semiconductor fi lm
deposition equipment.
