2013 Review
In relation to semiconductor lithography equipment,
capital investment for memory devices was heading for
recovery in the second half of the year after prolonged
weakness. As a result, sales of FPA-5550iZ i-line steppers,
which have been highly trusted for many years for their
stable quality and operating rate, and FPA-6300ES6a KrF
scanners, which have been received well due to high pro-
ductivity, increased.
As for flat panel display (FPD) lithography equipment,
as demand for high-resolution displays was increasing and
the pace of increase in the use of liquid crystal display tele-
visions in emerging economies was accelerating, invest-

sales in both areas increased significantly.
As for network cameras, amid the trend for more
INDUSTRY AND OTHERS BUSINESS UNIT
Canon contributes to raising the bar for ophthalmic diagnosis precision through imaging technologies we have developed over the years. As we continue
to focus on better image quality in a more compact design, we are always expanding our lineup of ophthalmic equipment in areas such as OCT devices
capable of 3D scanning to support the diagnosis of retinal disorders that can lead to vision loss.
