My research philosophy
Outcomes of innovative research not only help create new materials and functions but also lead to a paradigm shift from conventional technologies. Research is a rewarding endeavor that is the heart of our corporate philosophy: "Contributing to society through the creation of new value with innovative ideas, technologies and products." It is not at all easy to constantly set, strive toward and achieve higher goals. However, with a frontier spirit we're working tirelessly in our R&D efforts to fulfill the dream of delivering attractive products to the market.
