The super-smart society is expected to transform our quality of life and work by utilizing IoT, AI, robotics, and information and communications technology. Flat-panel displays (FPDs), including LCDs (liquid-crystal displays) and OLEDs (organic LEDs), as well as semiconductors are indispensable for realizing such a society. Nikon makes the lithography systems that expose circuit patterns for such components, covering development, design, production, sales and service. FPD lithography systems featuring a unique multi-lens system for handling large panels used in TVs, as well as a system for producing small- and medium-sized panels used in smart devices. Semiconductor lithography systems are often called “the most precise machines in history,” requiring extreme precision down to around 1 nm*. And their high productivity is able to satisfy a variety of demands, such as for miniaturization and higher integration. With these and other systems, Nikon’s Precision Equipment Business contributes to the realization of a super-smart society.

Supporting the manufacture of digital and smart devices that enrich people’s lives.

Contributing to the realization of a super-smart society by providing FPD lithography systems and semiconductor lithography systems.
