NEWS RELEASE

Tenax™ TPCL and Teijin's Panlite® Sheet are used for thehousing of the world's lightest (*) portable displays VAIO
Vision+™ developed by VAIOTokyo, Japan, July 29, 2024: Teijin Limited announced today that Teijin’s Tenax™ TPCL,a carbon fiber intermediate material, and its Panlite® Sheet, a polycarbonate (PC)product, the housing of the world's lightest (*) portable displays developed by VAIO
Corporation (hereinafter VAIO). The VAIO Vision+™ 14 and the VAIO Vision+™ 14P,
subsequently referred to collectively as VAIO Vision+™ were launched by the VAIO inJapan early July.
The characteristics of the Teijin materials have made it possible to achieve the world'slightest weight portable display, weighing approximately 325g, and with its thinnest point
being approximately 3.9mm.

VAIO Vision+™, is a portable display that uses a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin housing.

Tenax™ TPCL intermediate, used for the VAIO Vision+™ housing’s top and bottom
layers of the sandwich construction, is a sheet-like material made of woven carbon fiber
impregnated with thermoplastic resin. It is lightweight, resistant to heat and impact,strong and rigid, and also meets flame retardancy requirements for electrical products.
In addition, Panlite® Sheet, made from PC resin and used for the middle layer, has
excellent dimensional stability, light weight and impact resistance.

Complex, three-dimensional shape of the
housing achieved without metal parts

Tenax™ TPCL is used for the housing (top & bottom layers)
and Panlite® Sheet for the middle layer

Reduced CO2 and easier manufacturing
Conventional housings use metal parts for assembly, which need to be installed during
the manufacturing process. However, the housing of the new displays, which has astructure that sandwiches Panlite® Sheet between Tenax™ TPCL layers, achieves theshape and strength of the connections necessary for assembly without the need formetal parts. This material solution makes it possible to manufacture complex, threedimensional shapes in a single molding step, which helps reduce the number of steps
required to manufacture the housing, and also cuts CO2 emissions.
The Teijin Group aims to become a "a company that protects the global environment,"
embodying its long-term vision of becoming "a company that supports the society of thefuture," and will continue to utilize a wide range of highly functional materials to provide
solutions in a variety of fields.
