Glossary

B

Biosimilars

This refers to a drug developed by a different manufacturer that is equivalent in quality, safety, and efficacy to a biotechnology-based drug (pioneer biopharmaceutical) that has already been approved in Japan as a drug containing a new active ingredient.

C

Components for X-ray analyzers

An X-ray analytical instrument is a device that uses invisible X-rays to examine the internal structure and composition of materials.
Our company provides key components used in these instruments, including the X-ray source, which generates X-rays; the window, which efficiently emits X-rays; and the detector, which captures transmitted X-rays and converts them into data.

D

Dichotomous colorants

This is a colorant that changes the way light passes through depending on the orientation of the molecules, allowing for adjustments in brightness and color tone. It is used in applications such as dimmable films that can instantly switch between transparent and tinted states. Our dichotomous colorants are resistant to heat and light, delivering stable performance even in harsh environments.

E

Epoxy resins for semiconductors

Epoxy resins that cure when heat is applied are essential materials used to protect semiconductors from external factors such as heat, moisture, and mechanical stress. With their excellent electrical insulation properties and outstanding durability, they support the stable operation of electronic devices.
Our high-purity epoxy resins are used not only in semiconductor encapsulation materials but also in semiconductor package substrates, contributing to enhanced performance and long-term reliability of semiconductors.

G

Generic drugs

This refers to a drug developed after the patent period of the original drug has expired, possessing the same ingredients, dosage, administration, efficacy, and effects.

I

Inlators

This is a gas generator that instantly inflates airbags in the event of a car collision. We manufacture and sell inflators for driver's and passenger's seats, side airbags, and knees.

L

Light-shielding films for head-up displays

A head-up display (HUD) is a device that projects speed and navigation information onto the windshield so that it appears to be “floating” in the air. The sun visor blocks excess light and reduces glare to ensure that sunlight and ambient light from outside do not interfere with the display, thereby keeping the image clear and easy to see. It also protects the device from heat, helping to create a safe and comfortable driving environment.

M

Micro Gas Generators

This device activates a mechanism that instantly retracts the seat belt in the event of a collision. It generates gas, and the resulting pressure provides the force needed to retract the seat belt. By securing the occupant in the proper position, this mechanism enhances the effectiveness of the airbag and improves occupant safety.

P

Plarizers

This is a “filter that aligns the direction of light.” Light emitted by the sun or artificial lighting travels in various directions, but when it passes through a polarizing filter, only light traveling in a specific direction is allowed through, while the rest is blocked. Without polarizing filters, LCD displays—such as those found in smartphones, tablets, in-car displays, and industrial monitors—would be unable to achieve the high-quality images we see today.

S

Seatbelt pretensioners

This mechanism instantly retracts the seatbelt in the event of a collision, securing the occupant in the proper position. A micro gas generator is used to power this retraction, enhancing the effectiveness of the airbag.

Squibs

This is a small ignition device built into inflators and micro-gas generators.
It plays a critical role in receiving electrical signals from impact sensors during a vehicle collision and activating safety devices.

U

Unmet medical needs

This refers to diseases and treatment needs that current medical technologies and drugs are unable to adequately address. In our area of expertise—cancer treatment—we are committed to improving patients’ quality of life and advancing medical care by developing pharmaceuticals that address unmet medical needs.
