Fiber Optic Communication Devices
Omron’s proprietary fine processing technol-
ogy for fiber optic communication devices has
realized smaller and lower-priced transmission
devices for fiber to home (FTTH), supporting
constant high-capacity and ultra-high speed
network environments.
LCD Backlights
LCD backlights utilize microlens tech-
nology with several million micron-sized
micro lenses to maximize light utilization
efficiency to brighten display screens,
such as on mobile phones, and reduce
power consumption.
Relays and Switches
Relays are composed of electromagnets,
which convert electric signals to mechani-
cal movement, and switches that turn
electricity on and off. Relays and switches
are essentially used in all electric and elec-
tronic devices, including refrigerators,
microwave ovens, and air conditioners.
Global No.1 supplier of small-sized LCD backlights* and leading
provider of cutting-edge technology
ECB offers an integrated manufacturing system for electronic compo-
nents for consumer appliances, telecommunications equipment, mobile
devices, amusement devices, office automation (OA), and other equip-
ment incorporating our proprietary semiconductors and a wide range of
components including all types of relays, switches, connectors, sensors,
and optical fiber communications. In particular, Omron is the global leader
in the development of cutting-edge devices using MEMS technology, and
it holds top global market share in small-sized LCD backlights.

OKAO Vision
OKAO Vision is gaining wide use as
a technology for correcting expo-
sure in digital photography and
brightness in photo printing, and its
face recognition capability is used in
mobile phone user verification as
well as estimating age and deter-
mining sex.
