Industrial Business results for the nine-month period show significant sales growth in the field of optical systems for industrial use. The business as a whole recorded increasing revenue and increasing profits.
For the 3Q summary, I will reiterate that measuring instruments are showing steady expansion of sales volume, not only in the light source color area, but also in the object color area. This is yielding a significant increase in revenue.
In the materials and components field, performance materials have accelerated the shift to sales of higher value-added TAC film products, in the context of increasing LCD TV screen sizes. Despite being placed under price pressures, the previous year’s level of revenue has been maintained. In optical components, year-on-year revenue has declined slightly due to contracting customer demand for end products. Inkjet (IJ) component sales in Europe and Asia in the present fiscal year have driven the increase in revenue.
