12 JVC 1999
The Components & Devices business has grown to win
the confidence of many clients all over the world through
a history of satisfying the needs of Consumer Electronics
and Professional Electronics markets. JVC is now the
world’s largest manufacturer of deflection yokes, the
essential component of CRTs for computer displays.
Also, unit shipments of our high-precision motors for
floppy and hard disk drives are maintaining double-digit
growth.
With these two product lines forming pillars of the
Components & Devices business, high-density build-
up multilayer PWBs (printed wiring boards) are fast
becoming the third business pillar with the emergence of
the digital-mobile era. JVC is establishing reliability
throughout the world with innovative technologies such
as free inter-layer connection in PWBs, which was
perfected through the development of DVC. Our high-
density build-up multilayer PWBs, well received for their
performance, quality and reliability, will meet the demand
for compactness and high density. World-leading note-
book PC makers are employing JVC’s PWBs as the
motherboards in their products, while the world’s largest
communications equipment manufacturers are using this
product in mobile phones.
The demand for high-density PWBs is steadily ex-
panding as information and communication equipment
require increasingly higher density and frequencies
on an even smaller size. JVC is conducting large-scale
capital investment to consolidate production lines to
strengthen operations as one of the projects to precisely
meet demand. On the other hand, JVC is also looking
into Semiconductor Package Substrates, which con-
nect LSIs and high-density multilayer PWBs, as the next
market with a potential for fast growth.
The information and communications devices market
is bursting with expectations for spectacular growth. In
this field, superior components and devices will enhance
the value of end products. JVC is focusing efforts in this
area and aiming for higher growth backed by market-
leading products.
