Ever Researching for a Brighter World

GreetingBrighten the future with “The NICHIA Way”
The origin of Nichia came from the inspiration of Nichia's founder, Nobuo Ogawa, to utilize
limestones in his hometown, Tokushima, for the production of calcium compound used as
pharmaceutical materials. Nichia has strived for monotsukuri* with its originaltechnologies, while expanding its product range from calcium compound to phosphors,LEDs, Laser Diodes, battery materials, and magnet materials. Despite many obstacles
and difficulties, Nichia has succeeded in developing several of the world's best products
based on the unfaltering foundational belief, “creating the world's best products byworking earnestly and utilizing the technology, full of wisdom, and expertise of all Nichia
employees.”
In keeping with this belief, Nichia's monotsukuri is now concentrated in two main fields:
light and energy. Since its successful development of the world's first blue LEDs, Nichia
has been an innovator in the field of LEDs. Nichia believes that the potential for the next
innovation beyond all imagination must include the understanding of the fundamental
nature of light and luminous/optical mechanism, “Light behaves as a particle and as awave at the same time” . With this belief, Nichia has already started developing and selling
new LEDs which pursue the ultimate quality of light.
Nichia's goal is to continue to contribute to society without ever forgetting the spirit thatbrought the company here: “Ever researching for a brighter world.”

only focused on the simple process of manufacturing inside a factory but also include the creation,utilization, and combination of ideas, technologies,
and expertise.

Inspiration from Anti-Tuberculosis Medicine
Nichia's founder Nobuo Ogawa was a graduate of the pharmaceutical chemistry
department of Tokushima Technical High School (the predecessor of Tokushima
University). His hometown, Tokushima, is an area where limestones are mined. Bothstreptomycin, the anti-tuberculosis medicine, and phosphor for fluorescent lamps are
made from the same material, calcium compound obtained from limestones inTokushima. These three coincidental factors determined the future path of Nichia. In
1948, Mr. Ogawa established the “Kyodo Pharmaceutical Laboratory”, the predecessorof Nichia. From this new research institute, he established the production system foranhydrous calcium chloride used for streptomycin, which would lead to thedevelopment of anhydrous calcium phosphate, a raw material of phosphors forfluorescent lamps. In 1956, this small company set sail for the business of phosphor raw
materials with a new name, Nichia Kagaku Kogyo, K.K. (currently Nichia Corporation).

Phosphors for color TVs
The white LEDs that would
eventually change the world
R&D for Gallium Nitride
based LEDs

In 1996, Nichia developed the world's first white LED by combining a
blue LED with yellow phosphor, utilizing the technology and experiencethat Nichia acquired through phosphor manufacturing. LED lighting,stylish LED headlights, full-color LCD display for smartphones, allthese new products were developed and commercialized based onwhite LEDs developed by Nichia.

Challenge and Pursuit of True Nature- That is The NICHIA Way
The blue LED that surprised the world

To be the World’s No.1 Phosphor Manufacturer
In 1966, through significant R&D and the combination of competencies with thephosphor raw materials, production of calcium halophosphate phosphors forfluorescent lamps began. The corporate culture of applying its technicalcompetencies and developing them into a new product began around that timeand has continued to this day.

Nichia succeeded in developing the world's first high luminous blue LED which
was believed to be impossible to achieve within the 20th century and started
the volume production and sales. This blue LED, that was one hundred times
brighter than anything before, surprised the world. In 1994, Nichia succeeded
in developing a high luminous bluish-green LED which led to the LED
conversion of traffic signals.
In 1995, Nichia developed a pure green LED which made it possible to makefull-color displays by combining this green LED with high luminous blue andred LEDs that were already available in the market. Several larger full-color
LED displays were installed around the world.

Nichia will challenge various possibilities in the fields of light and energy.
For LEDs, Nichia is expanding its development of products by focusing on the "quality oflight" and “function of light” as well as pursuing high brightness and low power
consumption. For automotive applications, cutting-edge LEDs for headlights are
expected to improve safety while driving. Laser Diodes are expected soon to be
expanded into other applications such as lighting, processing, and heads-up displays forautomotive.
Cathode materials for Lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs) and high-quality
magnetic materials essential for small high-quality motors are key materials to realize acarbon-neutral society and will create a path towards using clean energy in the future.
Nichia will continue to make innovative products to create a bright future for the earth.
