Sometimes referred to as the "Age of Light, " the 21st century has seen a significant increase in the use of optical technology in our daily lives, with fiber optic-based broadband, LCD TVs, optical disks, illuminations, laser therapy, solar cells and more. In fact, optics contributes greatly to making our lifestyles more convenient and comfortable.

Microphotonics, a light wave control technology designed to maximize the potential qualities of light such as brightness, speed and energy, is a key driving force for the advancement of optical technology. At OMRON, we combine microphotonics with our proprietary micro-nano processing technology such as MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems), to create a diversity of highly miniaturized optical devices. With these innovative products, OMRON aims to become a next-generation leader in the highly promising fields of optical communications and optical displays.
