PRODUCTS & SOLUTIONS

Semiconductor production equipment

Semiconductors are vital to a wide variety of fields, ranging from smartphones, consumer electronics and vehicles to sensing devices, MEMS, power devices and the Internet of Things. In addition to our global number one cleaning systems, we provide a wide range of solutions that underpin semiconductor production, including lithography, annealing and inspection/measurement equipment. We are also ­firmly committed to product and technology development, with our Frontier Project currently leading advances in the new 200 mm market.

Display & Coater

Displays are used in numerous digital devices, from televisions to smartphones. We provide a full range of equipment and support services used in display manufacturing processes, with our coater/developers for large-scale TFT arrays for LCD panels and OLED displays currently holding the top global market share. With industry needs changing so rapidly, we are constantly working to develop a diverse range of new applications. These advances include systems for next-generation displays and lithium-ion batteries using deposition technologies.

PCB-related equipment

The accelerating adoption of information technologies has led to signi­cant growth in the use of PCBs in mobile devices and other applications such as vehicle systems. We have used our core technologies in direct imaging and image processing to develop the exposure and inspection systems plus support services that are essential to manufacturing these boards. PCBs are expected to become increasingly smaller, faster and more integrated, presenting new challenges for manufacturers. As this occurs, we will continue to develop new systems and solutions for cutting-edge mass production facilities, always with the goal of helping our clients to grow their business.

Semiconductor package-related equipment

Semiconductors are continuing to evolve for various applications, including AI.

Packaging technologies, used to protect and integrate these semiconductors into electronic devices, are likewise undergoing major changes in their applications as the industry strives to achieve better system performance, lower manufacturing costs, greater scalability and higher integration density. To meet these needs, we are working to deliver the new technologies and equipment required to produce chiplets such as 2.XD and 3D packages.

Graphic arts equipment

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things has had a major impact on information industries such as the graphic arts ­eld in recent years. Using our considerable expertise in image processing technologies, we have developed an extensive range of cutting-edge digital printing systems as well as CTP devices that have consistently held a top market share since they were ­rst launched. These products are all backed by IoT-based interactive support services, ensuring they continue to operate with exceptional reliability. We have also used our design skills to create Hiragino, a highly ‑exible typeface that is now used as a display font in smartphones and other devices. These are just some of the diverse solutions we have developed to support the stable, high-ef­ciency production of a wide variety of high-resolution printed materials.

Biosciences

Our high-speed 3D cell culture scanners and cell morphology analysis and imaging systems each use our unique proprietary image processing technologies. The devices are able to perform rapid measurement and analysis of the multiplication and morphological changes in cells without using a test reagent. They are already accelerating research related to the development of cancer drugs as well as regenerative medicine. Our optical coherence tomography systems also enable precise observation and measurement of 3D images. Using these systems, it is possible to perform non-invasive observation of live samples from multiple perspectives. The devices have made an important contribution in various areas of research, including regenerative medicine and the functional analysis of structures in biological tissue.

Pharmaceuticals

We have developed inkjet printers that use our cutting-edge direct imaging and image processing technologies to print onto pills and tablets. The systems support a variety of specialized applications such as parallel printing along scored lines on both faces of an item, simultaneous multicolor printing and stealth ink printing. These abilities have helped the pharmaceutical industry to improve the identification of medicines and reduce accidental ingestion and drug counterfeiting. Our UV inkjet systems for aluminum rolls enable variable printing of manufacturing information on the aluminum foil before PTP packaging of pharmaceuticals. The systems improve traceability of the drugs from production to when they are finally dispensed and also help to ensure safe and efficient handling at the dispensing location.

Medical Device-related

We are also involved in the development and sale of medical devices for organ transplantation. The "Organ Pocket" insulates and protects the renal graft during transplant surgery.

Hydrogen

We have successfully launched mass production of high-quality membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) for fuel cells. To contribute to a carbon neutral society, we also focus on joint R&D with other companies in areas such as the construction of a water electrolysis system.

Rechargeable batteries

SCREEN offers coater/dryers for rechargeable battery manufacturing that integrate our coating and drying technologies developed for display production with the substrate transfer technologies used in the roll-to-roll process. We are committed to delivering such solutions to the rechargeable battery industry and are already working on developing next-generation batteries.

A wide range of industries are now seeking new IT solutions that incorporate increasingly specialized software technologies. Over the years, we have built a wealth of expertise in the development of result-driven software for areas such as image processing, big data analysis, IoT, AI and AR. It is this foundation that will enable us to continue delivering highly sophisticated, industry-leading solutions to meet these needs.
