Revenue for the "Others" segment shown in the lower part of the graph fell 20% year on year. Lenses for digital compact cameras and lens units for mobile phones continued to shrink, but the Company had naturally anticipated this contraction in the market and is dealing with it accordingly. Revenue from pickup lenses for Blu-ray DiscTM players used in the home video game consoles also shrank.
On the other hand, revenue of lenses for industrial and professional use rose by 16%, with lenses for high-brightness projectors expanding steadily.
As for measuring instruments, the recently announced acquisition of US-headquartered Radiant Vision Systems LLC should close in the early part of this month and begin contributing to results in the second half of 2Q.
