Our company has been engaged in the raw materials for organic photoconductors (OPC) used in multifunction devices and laser beam printers, accumulating over 30 years of technological expertise and stable production. In particular, we boast world-class production achievements in charge generation materials and hole transport materials necessary for exhibiting photoelectric conversion functions. Additionally, for organic EL (OLED) materials that require higher purity, we produce various materials tailored to specific applications and characteristics. We actively apply the material technology, manufacturing methods, and mass production techniques developed through OPC and organic EL materials to materials for perovskite solar cells, which have a high degree of technological affinity, and are engaged in contract manufacturing.

Our company has developed and produced nanosized metal oxide sol particles for optical material applications using a unique sol synthesis technology based on metal alkoxides. To achieve optimal film-forming properties, film characteristics, and film durability, we track and precisely control the hydrolysis and condensation reactions of metal alkoxides using measurements such as kinematic viscosity, particle size distribution, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). This control technology enables the synthesis of sol particles with single nanosized microparticles for certain metal species. Additionally, leveraging the know-how of reaction factors obtained from years of research, we can design optimal processes for stable production, which is a significant strength. The nanosized metal oxide sol particles synthesized using our sol synthesis technology are characterized by high transparency due to their highly dispersed nature with minimal aggregation or precipitation. It is possible to form transparent and uniform thin films on substrates where transparency is emphasized, with thicknesses on the order of several tens of nanometers.

A transparent paint using porous structure technology can achieve a low refractive index surface. By suppressing reflected light, it prevents light reflection on glass surfaces and reduces glare. Additionally, it can improve the light transmission rate. Since the porous structure anti-reflective material is made of inorganic substances, it can minimize aging deterioration.

Our company is developing a hydrophilic coating material using a titania sol liquid in which titanium dioxide (TiO2) is dispersed as nanoparticles. Our hydrophilic coating material excels in hydrophilicity, transparency, and self-cleaning functionality. The superhydrophilicity of titanium dioxide refers to the phenomenon where the surface of titanium dioxide becomes highly compatible with water when exposed to ultraviolet light, causing water droplets to spread thinly and form a film. This allows water droplets to spread across the surface, encapsulating dirt and washing it away, thereby exhibiting a self-cleaning effect. Our titania sol liquid can be applied in various applications such as high refractive index materials, anti-fogging materials, photocatalysts, and anti-reflective materials. By using a single nano-sized titania sol liquid manufactured through our unique sol-gel synthesis technology, it is possible to form transparent and uniform thin films on the order of several tens of nanometers. Since it can form a highly transparent thin film on substrates, it demonstrates anti-fogging performance due to superhydrophilicity and self-cleaning performance due to photocatalytic functionality when applied to automotive mirrors, building glass, outdoor cameras, and more.

Our organic EL materials are primarily used as key components in the emission panels (μOLED) of Canon cameras' EVF (electronic viewfinder), specifically in the three layers: "hole transport layer, emission layer, and electron transport layer." Due to our production of small quantities of a wide variety of products, we are able to mass-produce various organic EL materials to meet diverse needs and characteristics or applications. To accommodate the synthesis of organic EL materials that require high purity, we carry out production using the following processes.
