Alps Alpine has outlined a plan to increase production of lenses for co-packaged optics to 10 times current levels, while developments in artificial photosynthesis technology, which uses light energy to produce hydrogen and formic acid, are expected to spread to households and industry in the 2030s. Developments at LENZO, an emerging AI semiconductor company, were also introduced.
Alps Alpine has reportedly announced a policy of increasing production of lenses for co-packaged optics to 10 times current levels. Against the backdrop of reports that only 2 companies worldwide can produce them, attention is focused on accelerating mass-production capabilities.
Artificial photosynthesis technology points to the possibility of producing hydrogen and formic acid using light energy, with applications expected across a broad range of fields, including households and industry, in the 2030s.
In the semiconductor sector, the emerging company LENZO is attracting attention. Domestic developments in AI semiconductors are gaining momentum, including comments from its CEO Fujiwara, a former PlayStation developer, on a policy of staying focused without detours.
