Outline of Business
Thermal media, optical equipments,
semiconductors, electronic component,
measuring equipment, etc.
Performance
Sales of thermal business and electronic
component business increased, and demand
appears to be recovering in the
semiconductor business. On the other hand,
sales of optical equipment business declined
due to sluggish demand. As a result, sales of
this segment increased by 1.0% from the
previous year to ¥120.6 billion ($1,031
million) .
Outline of Business
Optical discs and digital cameras, etc.
Performance
While sales of digital cameras remained firm,
the optical discs business experienced
reduced sales, particularly overseas, as such
key modules other than media as self-
developed drives and parts were withdrawn
last year. In addition, sale of non-core
business in Japan affected sales. As a result,
sales of this segment fell by 3.7% from the
previous fiscal year to ¥157.2 billion ($1,343
million).
