OKI’s LED technology is currently used in the print heads as a light source for its non impact printers. The Group also develops “Epi Film Bonding (EFB) technology” in which without the need for adhesives, thin film material is bonded by utilizing the intermolecular bonding force working to hold the film together. OKI was the first in the world to successfully manufacture this technology for commercial use, and expects to deploy it in various applications.The new facility will be acquired under a basic agreement concluded between OKI Data and Renesas Technology Corp., in which OKI Digital Imaging Corp. (ODI) will acquire the land, buildings, and utilities of the former semiconductor front-end process line (Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture) of the Gunma Development Design and Device Division of Renesas Eastern Japan Semiconductor, Inc. ODI will acquire this at the end of November 2009, and operations at the new location are scheduled to start in April 2010, after ODI relocates to Takasaki.
With a clean room that has a high level of cleanliness and which doubles our current capacity, OKI Data expects to boost its LED print head production by fourfold. This will help us double our non impact printer sales by the fiscal year ending March 2012,” said Harushige Sugimoto, President and CEO of OKI Data. “We also expect stronger synergy between the development team and the production team as the new location will be close to OKI Data’s Taksaki plant, which, I believe, will then enhance our product development capabilities.The average annual growth rate of the global non impact printer market for business-use, is said to be 5%, and the market size will increase from 21 million units in 2009 to about 25 million units in 2013.OKI Group aims to increase its market share in this growing market by boosting LED print head production and realizing greater commercial value.
