Large-Format Photomask BusinessFor larger, higher-definition FPDs (flat panel displays),
SK-Electronics’ “photomasks” support technologicalevolution.
Today, FPDs are familiar components found in TVs, smartphones,laptops, car navigation systems, and digital cameras as well as
medical equipment, industrial equipment, and gaming equipment.
Development of these products is ever-evolving to meet wide-ranging market needs for higher definition, higher performance,and much more.
SK-Electronics’ “photomasks” support the evolution of theseproducts behind the scenes.
What is a photomask?
It is a high-definition large-sized original plate that is indispensable
to the production processes of LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays),
OLED Displays (Organic LED Displays) and other FPDs, functioning like a photographic negative film.
At panel manufacturer factories, FPDs are developed and mass-produced by photolithographic techniques using SK-Electronics’“photomasks.”
Supporting the evolution of FPDs, SK-Electronics will continue tomeet cutting-edge customer needs.

RFID Field
We aim to provide solutions for various sites with the world’s smallest class of RFID proprietary technology.
Over the past few years, RFID has moved into the spotlight among automatic recognition technologies.
We help to solve various on-site problems in production, logistics, retail, and services through development and provision of distinctive products and solutions, including the world’s smallest class of RF tags, luminescent tags, and tags
that can display text information.

challenges, improving management transparency for stakeholders within and outside of the company such as shareholders,customers, local communities and corporate members, and theimplementation of company management with importanceplaced on compliance, thereby continuously enhancing thevalue of the company.

For the purpose of managing the organization in a sound andefficient manner, we have established and operated an internal
control system across the group to attain four objectives, thatis, reliability of financial reports, compliance with laws and regulations related to business activities, effectiveness and efficiency of business operations, and safeguarding of assets. The
effectiveness of the internal control system is subject to audits
conducted in collaboration with the audit and supervisory committee, accounting auditor, and audit office.

Social Contribution Activities
Cleanup activities in the surrounding environmentsof business entities
As social contribution activities to the local areas where ourbusiness entities are located, we conduct cleanup activities
once a week in an area near our business entities. Our sincere

Ecocap Movement
Caps of plastic bottles are collected at each of our business
entities and sold to recycling companies. Profits obtained byreusing the caps are used to send BCG and polio vaccines tochildren in developing countries. The Ecocap Movement leads
to environmental policies such as recycling of used materials
and reduction of CO2 emissions, in addition to social contributions.

Living things on Earth uniquely evolve and adapt to a variety ofenvironments, and they live in a symbiotic relationship witheach other. The intricate and intertwined biodiversity of living
things supports our lives and livelihoods. As part of our biodiversity conservation activities, we are assisting in efforts to rid
Lake Biwa of invasive foreign fish species in order to conserve
its ecosystem.
