20Nitto Group Report 2016 AutomobilesFor ExampleOptical Transmission CablesNew Type of Neodymium MagnetNew Marketing Base in Munich, GermanyWe have achieved high-quality bulk data transmission by combining our newly-developed lm transmitting light signals (optical waveguide) with electrical circuit boards. Electrical signals have become more commonplace in automobiles to improve safety and comfort. Nitto’s optical transmission cables make it possible to carry signals for such applications at high data rate. The neodymium magnet is used in motors, such as in automobiles, trains and mobile phones. By applying our organic/inorganic hybrid technology*1, we successfully developed a unique type of neodymium magnet featuring orientation control capability*2, which enables improvement in motor performance by 20 to 30 % compared to conventional motors, while also contributing to the miniaturization and lightweight manufacture of motors.*1Technology combining organic and inorganic elements at the nano and molecular levels*2Manipulating unidirectionally-aligned magnetic crystalsIn order to advance the development of electronics and IT in automobiles and to swiftly meet the needs of the global market, we newly established a marketing base with the main focus on automobiles in Munich, Germany in July 2015.Name: Nitto Deutschland GmbH Munich Ofce Location: 11 Parkring, 85748 Garching bei Munich, GermanyRoll to Panel®In the past, we delivered optical lm for FPD manufactured and processed at Nitto to customers, before customers assembled the FPD panels. In our new business model Roll to Panel®, we install equipment at customer plants, cutting and attaching optical lm to FPD panels for our customers. This leads not only to reduction of processing and transportation costs, but also improvement of production efciency.In addition, we protect our business using the Roll to Panel® system by promptly acquiring the relevant patents globally and establishing a platform of patents.
