Research and development

Science beyond the needs of the times

With the high technologies and original perspective, which have been refined by the world's leading photosensitive material development,
we are focusing on the evolution of the existing businesses and the expansion of new technologies areas such as the life sciences, nanotechnologies, and energy fields in order to respond to the needs of our customers in detail.
"Our lifeline lies in research and development." Based on this philosophy, we will respond to diversified and sophisticated social needs through the power of chemistry.

Main Organizations and Functions of Corporate technologies Development

Photosensitive Materials Research Center contributing to the new business development and the existing businesses

The Photosensitive Materials Research Center conducts R & D to create new
businesses and strengthen the existing businesses. In advancing R & D, new products and new processes are based on customer needs, market trends, technologies trends, internal needs and etc., Based on organic synthesis technologies and high-purification technologies and evaluation technologies that we have cultivated so far, we have developed the new processing steps and the high-efficiency manufacturing methods

Three initiatives of Photosensitive Materials Research Center to continue to survive in the international market

Tackle issues to be solved straight

In order to overcome the issues needed to create new businesses and strengthen the existing businesses, we also engage in highly academic research. We have built a research network with academia such as universities, national and public research institutes, so we are effectively conducting research activities through making effective use of this network.

Improvement of R & D efficiency

To improve R & D efficiency, we actively incorporate technologies in other technical fields such as spectroscopy, condensed matter physics, IT and simulation technologies.

Market and needs survey by researchers themselves

Researchers themselves actively collect and analyze the information from potential customers and internal and external parties, constantly check the direction of R & D, and work to achieve their goals early.

Production Engineering Department that contributes to industrialization of new products and the improvement of productivity of the existing products

We conduct industrialization research on new products and products requested by the market in cooperation with various researchers. We also conduct research on the existing products to improve productivity and to gain competitiveness. We make full use of experiments and simulations to develop processes, unit operations, and production technologies for the improvement of the rational manufacturing technologies.

Business Planning Department that promotes new business planning, incubation and marketing of research themes

In collaboration with the Photosensitive Materials Research Institute and the Production Engineering Department, we promote new business planning, management of research themes, incubation and marketing, and work on efficient R & D and business development. In addition, as a horizontal skewer function of technologies development, it also plays a role in coordinating future technologies needs and formulating company-wide technologies strategies.
