The DNP Museum Lab initiative waslaunched in 2006, with the goal ofdelivering cutting-edge art-and-culture
viewing experiences for museumgoers. DNP has created more than
100 interactive viewing systems,
some of which have been adopted by
the Louvre Museum.
Interest-sparking space/artifact
viewing tool series represent a rangeof systems developed by drawing
upon the accumulated technologies
and expertise, envisioning diverse
experiential scenarios rooted inculture and the arts.
One of these tools, that allows users
to explore and walk-through virtual
spaces, harnesses “Cross-modalperception,” when two or more
senses interact with each other. DNP
provides new cultural experiences bycreating the feeling of walking
through a virtual environment using
virtual reality (VR) such as the Mazarin
Gallery in the Richelieu site of
Bibliothèque nationale de France.

DNP eco-friendly packaging product lineup

Rendering wireless battery charging
systems thinner and lighter—Making EVs even more convenient—

Developing and providing DNP
eco-friendly packaging

Electric vehicles emit no CO2 whilerunning, can be charged at home,​and users no longer need to fill theirgas tanks. Further, consumers can
now look forward to a future of
wireless charging, which eliminates
the need for a cable to connect thecharger and car body—for evengreater convenience.
The sheet-type coil for wirelesscharging, developed by way of DNP’s
monozukuri manufacturing strengths,
has rendered coils thinner and lighterin contrast to conventional litz wire
coil units. By reducing systeminstallation load between the vehicle(power-receiving side) and the ground(power supply side), we do our part tospeed up the popularization of
wireless charging.
In March 2023, DNP, in collaboration
with Sojitz Corporation and DAIHEN
Corporation, became the first in Japanto obtain registration approval forcommercial EVs equipped withwireless charging capability andbegan on-road performance tests. We
are stepping up development in
anticipation of achieving the capabilityof charging-while-driving.

We at DNP never stop considering
the possibilities for beneficial
coexistence between our businessactivities and our planet’senvironment. In this connection, weare moving ahead with initiatives witha solid focus on the environment
throughout the entire supply chain.
Under the DNP Group Environmental
Vision 2050, we are stepping up
efforts toward a decarbonized society,a recycling-oriented society, and asociety in harmony with nature.
For example, our eco-friendly
packaging offers CO2 reduction,
resource recycling, and preservationof the natural environment. Examples
include replacing some oil-basedmaterials with plant-based materials,
as well as using products featuring
easily recyclable materials andshapes. In addition, our packaging
with better barriers to oxygen,moisture, etc. enables extended
storage of contents, which in turnmeans DNP helps reduce food loss.
Our FY2022 DNP eco-friendly
packaging reduces CO2 by
170,000 tons annually.
