Device Business
This product group reported an increase in sales thanks to
growth in small- and medium-size LCDs for smartphones, tab-
let terminals, and the like. It also returned to profitability, owing
mainly to an improved product mix as we shifted our emphasis to
small- and medium-size LCDs, as well as patent-related income.
We will continue developing new customers while expand-
ing business with existing major clients, in order to increase the
sales ratio for small- and medium-size LCDs. For large-size LCDs,
meanwhile, we will work to stabilize earnings by increasing the
inch size of our offerings to 70-, 80-, and 90-inch classes.

This product group enjoyed increases in both sales and operat-

monitoring devices, in-vehicle devices, and medical devices to
