MEMS Flow Sensor
This sensor utilizes the most cutting-edge MEMS device to
detect extremely low flow rates with high precision. It is
expected that MEMS Flow Sensors will be installed in digi-
tal equipment including computers, airconditioners, and a
variety of other equipment, such as fuel cells. (The bottom-
right photo shows a MEMS Flow Chip with a surface area of
1.55mm x 1.55mm and a thickness of 0.4mm.)
LED backlights for large LCD televisions
These backlights utilize durable, energy efficient LEDs as a
light source for large flat-panel LCD televisions. This enables
such televisions to have a thickness of less than 10cm,
while still naturally and reliably reproducing colors on
screen. Commercial production is expected to commence
within FY2005.
OKAO Vision Face Recognition Sensor
This sensor, which can be implemented in mobile devices
with cameras, including mobile phones and PDAs, is capable
of identifying the owner’s face within one second. By dramati-
cally improving the speed and efficiency of algorithms, it has
become possible to install this sensor in mobile devices while
still maintaining high precision.
