Funai Brings Microfluidics Technology to Innovative New P&G Consumer Products atCES 2019Funai will showcase smart microfluidics technologies for the consumer
Aire care and beauty markets.
LAS VEGAS, NV, January 2, 2019 —Funai Electric Co., Ltd., a development partner with Procter& Gamble (P&G), provides engineering and solution development services to help bring new
innovative products to the consumer electronics home fragrance and skincare markets. The newproducts, which utilize Funai’s microfluidics technology, will be on display at CES 2019 in theFunai pavilion in the Renaissance Hotel, Las Vegas and the P&G booth (#42131) at the Sands
Expo Center.
For nearly half a decade, Funai has invested in the research and development, which has
transformed conventional thermal ink-jet technology into a microfluidics solution that can beused in a wide range of consumer and professional applications. “Transforming Funai’s proventhermal printer ink-jet technology into the latest smart consumer microfluidics results in a large
number of new solutions which were not realistic five years ago,” says Hisaharu Oura GM of
Funai’s Microfluidics Business unit.
Funai’s latest smart microfluidics technology has been incorporated into the P&G Opté Beauty
Wand product, which is available today from select retailers, and can be found at the P&G booth(#42131) at Sands Expo Center. The Opté Beauty Wand is the first digital skin care device toinstantly deliver flawless skin. The wand uses a digital camera with blue LED lights to scan anddetect areas of tonal discoloration, and instantly correct imperfections by applying a customserum where it is needed. The serum utilizes a patented blend of mineral pigments and skincare ingredients, which not only makes age spots instantly disappear but also fade over time.
Funai’s microfluidics technology is essential for the beauty wand. After the wand scans anddetects an imperfection, Funai’s microfluidics technology helps release the customized serumfor natural, even coverage on each imperfection.
At the same time Funai has developed a thermal scent-jet technology and scent-jet nozzle
solution for the P&G Airia 4th generation Home Freshener. Funai’s scent-jet technology isdesigned to fire up to 100,000 gravity-defying scent droplets per second that spread with thenatural airflow in the home. Funai’s scent-jet technology enables the Airia to provide a
consistent long-lasting scent experience which can be scheduled and monitored with the free
Airia smartphone app.
These products will be on display at CES 2019 at both the P&G Booth (#42131) at the Sands Expo
Center and at the Funai pavilion at the Renaissance Hotel, Las Vegas.
