TEMISH® can be used on the mouthpieces of smartphones and wearable devices.Structural Materials for Optical ProductsWe have a wide lineup of products, such as adhesive sheet, xing optical lm and surface protection materials to prevent scratching.Transparent Conductive FilmELECRYSTA® transparent conductive lm plays the role of a switch in touch panels by allowing in light while conducting electricity.Optical Film for Flat Panel Displays (FPD) On FPD, without optical lm such as polarizing lm, retardation lm or brightness enhancing lm, characters and projected images are not visible. Film with Nitto’s unique optical properties contributes to thinner, higher grade displays with increased energy efciency.Nitto Awarded Display Component of the Year AwardNowadays, thinner and more exible displays are demanded, and it is an important challenge for us to make polarizing lms thinner.In such circumstances, Nitto has succeeded in developing a new, innovative ultra-thin polarizer. As recognition for this achievement, we were awarded a Display Component of the Year Award by the Society for Information Display at the 2016 Display Industry Awards.In this chapter, we introduce our new products and services, and those we aim to commercialize, as well as our existing products and services.Products and services in new domains that Nitto is putting emphasis onProducts and services which we aim to commercialize.Clean2015GreenFineProposals for the Future!Yukihiro Izuka, Director of Information Fine Materials (left) with presenter, Mr. Brian Berkeley
