Creativity and intelligence work together to advance glasstronics technology. NSG developed the unique technology which we call glasstronics through the merging of electronics technology with glass technology the company has formulated over the years. By further melding this technology with innovative creativity and intelligence, the realization of our mission to help build comfortable living spaces for the information-oriented society of the future becomes possible. At the Technical Research Laboratory, simulation and evaluation technologies clarify phenomenon observed in both research and development and during production, helping researchers make quicker decisions in relation to such areas of study as how different types of glass affect interior thermal environments, the visual characteristics of glass coated with optical thin films, and temperature distributions in glass in heating ovens. By using the latest information technology, we are raising the quality of intelligent production in wide range of fields.
New technologies increase the value of glass.
In terms of new glass, we are working to strengthen and expand our business through the development of new glass materials, the primary business of this company. We are furthering our research into and development of new compositions for UV absorbing glass, privacy glass auto-motive glass, magnetic disk substrates, flat display substrate glass, and other new types of glass as well as the precision processing technology required to bring these to commercial production. In the field of optoelectronics, we are actively working on the development of compound semiconductor devices and photoreceptor and emitter devices as well as the study of their integration. Hybrid devices that combine these devices with micro-optical devices are expected to open up new markets. We are developing microlenses and lens arrays based on this material, and these have received high praise as lens elements for optical communication processing.
