digitization and larger numbers of pixels and corre-
sponding market expansion, we streamlined our busi-
ness organization to enable us to speedily respond to
such developments, while promoting the sales particu-
larly those of full HD compatible products. As a result, in
the area of high image quality products, our sales grew at
a higher pace than the market.
Sales of document scanners manufactured by Canon
Electronics Inc. increased, helped by brisk sales in the
Americas and Europe.
Sales of semiconductor film deposition equipment
manufactured by Canon ANELVA Corporation, organic
LED (OLED) panel manufacturing equipment manufac-
tured by Canon Tokki Corporation, and FA systems and
semiconductor manufacturing equipment manufactured
by Canon Machinery Inc. were all sluggish due to the weak
appetite for capital investment by corporate customers.
As a result of the above, sales for this business unit
decreased by 8.1% on a consolidated basis to ¥374.9 billion.
2014 Initiatives
Canon will strive to establish a solid foundation for its
medical equipment business. In digital radiography
INDUSTRY AND OTHERS BUSINESS UNIT
The FPA-5550iZ is an i-line stepper employ-
ing the FPA-5500 platform with proven
high performance and reliability, which
enables high throughput such as short
exposure time through a high-acceleration
wafer stage.
The CR-2 Plus AF is a digital non-mydriatic
retinal camera with fundus auto-fl uorescence
photography mode, and features four auto-
matic functions, auto-fundus, auto-focus,
auto-capture and automatic exposure func-
tion, for easier and faster eye examinations.
The Network Camera lineup offers advanced-
function models, capable in various situa-
tions, including a palm-sized full HD-model
and a model for low-light conditions,
which demonstrates its ability to monitor
at night.
systems, we will emphasize wireless connectivity and
dynamic imaging, and in ophthalmic equipment we
will focus on high-value-added offerings, such as optical
coherence tomography (OCT) devices.
In addition, Canon will target mass production of DNA
diagnostic systems. We will also promote clinical evalu-
ation into photoacoustic mammography technologies to
enable swifter detection and more accurate diagnoses of
breast cancer than before.
In the optical product field, Canon will work to
enhance its technological capabilities in next-generation
semiconductor lithography equipment in order to cap-
ture a large market share in the future. We will also target
the No. 1 market position in FPD lithography equipment
by launching new products to follow our high-definition
two-micron models.
The market for network cameras is expected to grow
20% or higher annually in the future. In response, Canon
will seek the most effective customers among the broad
range of potential users, from governments to conve-
nience stores, with the aim of building a solid track
record of our solutions.
