Adapting the technologies we perfected for photo imaging, Fujifilm provides "highly-functoinal films" used in a wide range of liquid crystal displays, including LCD televisions and smartphones.

Polarizing plates are essential to allowing light to pass through the liquid crystals in LCD displays, and Fujifilm is one of only a few companies with the advanced technolgy required to manufacture a cellulose triacetate film - Fujitac - that protects these vital polarizing plates,

In the 1990s, Fujifilm developed Wide View (WV) film, now widely used in LCD displays and computer monitors. WV film nearly doubles the screen's viewing angle, letting users see clear, beautiful pictures even when viewed diagonally.

We have also developed EXCLEAR touch panel sensor film, which uses silver halide photographic technology. Compared to traditional indium tin oxide (ITO) film, EXCLEAR properties enable quick response time (even on large-sized panels) and three-dimensional processing, while resisting folding or bending.

Fujifilm's image analysis technology uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help engineers detect cracks in vital infrastructure like bridges, tunnels and buildings. These structures age over time, and frequent visual inspections are required by national and local governments to ensure public safety. Traditionally, these inspections have required advanced technologies and highly-experienced and skilled engineers to inspect each structure by eye, and identify each crack by chalking a line beside it. Next, they would sketch each crack or fissure, trace the entire image, and finally make digital images to include in reports.

With a virtually unlimited number of sites to inspect, and less time to inspect them, making the process efficient has become a priority issue.

Fujifilm has applied our medical image analysis technology that detects blood vessels in images to the process of detecting and visualizing cracks in structures. We've traveled to inspection sites, listened to the views of inspectors and construction consultants, and collected an enormous amount of images and data about cracks. Through machine learning, we've continued developing and evolving the technologies that create a safer world.

In the highly-competitive inkjet manufacturing industry, Fujifilm has carved out its place over many decades of innovation. We continue to lead the world in developing inkjet technologies and industrial applications in textile and package printing.

We are one of the few total inkjet manufacturers in the world. developing all aspets of our inkjet technologies in-house, from image processing systems to the inkjet printheads and even the inks themselves.

Inkjet technologies have the potential to revolutionize the future, and there's so much more we want to accomplish in this field. That's why we'll NEVER STOP pursuing further advancements in inkjet technology, and bringing positive changes to the world around us.

Fujifilm has also adapted photo and film technology to create porous yeast filters with holes one-millionth of an inch in diameter. This technology is helping brewers filter more yeast and bacteria... and deliver tastier, high-quality beers.

Better filters make better beer.

Photographic film technologies have always been at the core of our business, and Fujifilm has applied them to a wide range of uses. It shouldn't be a surprise that brewing better beer is yet another example. The microscopic holes in photo film work very well to create filters for yeast. Previously, yeast had to be heat-treated to maintain a brew's quality. But using micro-filters guarantees the complete removal of yeast and bacteria from the beer without the need for heat treatment. This hasn't only helped make draft-quality beer available in cans and bottles, but also helped home brewers enjoy tasty craft beers.

Of course we didn't stop there. This technology, which has the ability to filter the smallest of particles, is being used in various industrial applications such as chemical filtration for plating solutions, and for filtering foreign bodies out of the water used in critical cleaning processes, such as for LCD displays and hard disk drives.

We will NEVER STOP evolving our core technologies to make the world a better place.
