「Products for AI data centers ～≪High-tech products≫」
The plan positions glass polarizers and heat-dissipation substrates primarily as products for thermal management and optical communications in AI data centers, rather than continuing to center on the previously identified fields of 5G/6G communications, semiconductor inspection equipment and generative-AI data centers. - FY2025RaisedAnnual report
「The Group conducts research and development activities focused on developing new products in fields expected to grow, including lenses for solid-state light sources, materials for 5G/6G communications, materials for semiconductor inspection equipment, and products for generative-AI data centers, drawing on its core competencies in glass-material development, precision molding and thin-film vapor deposition.」
The Company has expanded the target applications for glass frit and other products from 5G to 5G/6G communications, semiconductor inspection equipment and products for generative-AI data centers, broadening the fields targeted for new product development. - FY2023-Q3RestatedAnnual report
「Decorative vapor deposition on glass containers has become a new core business, while the company will further expand businesses including automotive components for next-generation vehicles, glass frit for 5G communications components, the free-fall deep-sea exploration vehicle “Edo-kko 1,” and pressure-resistant glass spheres.」
The Company has reaffirmed its policy of expanding new businesses, including glass frit for 5G communications components. No new mass-production or sales milestones are disclosed. - FY2023-Q2RestatedAnnual report

「The Company will work to expand new businesses, including sales of reflective films for deep-ultraviolet applications and glass frits for 5G communications components. It will restore revenue by developing band-pass filters for deep-ultraviolet applications and reliably capturing the expected recovery in demand for projector components, while improving profitability by reducing fixed costs through measures such as restraining capital investment.」
The Company has progressed from its previous development policy for glass frit for 5G high-speed communications to explicitly stating that it will sell glass frit for 5G communications components. - FY2020First statedAnnual report
「The Company is focusing on developing phosphor-dispersed glass products used in solid-state light sources, as well as glass frit used in LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) multilayer circuit boards for 5G high-speed communications.」
The disclosure describes a development policy to expand applications for glass frit from solid-state light sources to LTCC for 5G high-speed communications. It also states that the Company is working on frit for all-solid-state batteries for automobiles.
