6971 KYOCERA Business sales/overview by segment
Telecommunications
Smartphones, IoT devices, customized equipment, and related support services and manufacturing. Manufacture of multifunction devices and printers to commercial inkjet printers. Manufacture of electronic and semiconductor-related parts such as ceramic capacitors and tantalum capacitors. Manufacture of fine ceramic parts for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
Automobile related
We have developed an in-vehicle night vision system that highly accurately recognizes and displays objects that can pose a risk, supporting safe driving even in environments with poor visibility such as at night or in rain or fog. The company manufactures camera modules, automotive millimeter-wave radar substrates with antenna functions used for obstacle detection, liquid crystal displays for head-up displays that project onto windshields, heaters for oxygen sensors, and parts for electric vehicles.
Environment/Energy
“Solar cells” generate electricity from sunlight. A storage battery stores electricity and can be used as an emergency power source in the event of a disaster. We manufacture fuel cells that generate electricity using hydrogen and oxygen and also create hot water using the heat generated. The production of “FOREARTH” eliminates processes that use a lot of water, such as pre-treatment, washing, and steaming when printing patterns on fabric, making it possible to significantly reduce water usage. Also manufactures LED and ceramic knives.
Medical/Healthcare
Development of an “AI osteoporosis diagnostic support system” that estimates bone density using AI, manufacturing of medical products such as ceramic artificial joints and dental implants, cell separation and concentration measurement devices, and uniquely designed lenses, lighting, and cameras. Manufacture of combined FA and medical optical units.
Other products/services
Using unique AI technology, we have developed a system that significantly reduces programming work and allows collaborative robots to operate autonomously. Development of GaN (gallium nitride) laser diode products that are used for laser lighting, automobile headlights, optical transmission such as Li-Fi communication and power supply, and sterilization. Manufacture of cutting tools, pneumatic tools, and power tools. Construction and operation of communication infrastructure and solar power generation facilities. Manufacture of jewelry, ceramic kitchen goods, etc.
Research and Development
Development of high-definition aerial displays. The development of GaN-based micro-light sources, such as short-cavity lasers and micro-LEDs, has made it possible to produce high-quality micro-LEDs and semiconductor lasers at low cost.
