Exploring new businesses
centered around FPDs

The Information & Electronics Division I provides services to a wide array of customers all over the world with a global supply chain it has built through its business in the flat panel display (FPD) industry dealing mainly in LCDs and organic LEDs (OLEDs), as well as the LED-related industry.

Our major strengths are our capability to propose ideas that leverage our global network based on our highly specialized knowledge, in addition to building processing and distribution networks for supply of competitive materials and other products.

Keeping business with existing customers at our core, we seek to expand into new fields, such as semiconductors and electronics components along with FPDs, by strengthening relations with clients in Japan and other countries.

Topics

  • LED encapsulant business - from product development, manufacturing, and inspection to customer support

    Since LED encapsulant manufacturing and sales business was acquired from Henkel Japan Ltd., Information & Electronics Division I has been responsible for IK-brand product development, manufacturing, quality control, and customer service, all under one roof.
    In 2017, Inabata Optech Co., Ltd. was founded as a 100% subsidiary for product development and quality control. New products are being developed with a focus on encapsulant resins and adhesives for opto semiconductors.
    Inabata’s encapsulant materials have been well-received for LED full-color display applications.
