Many thanks to you
— for 50 years of support
How much do you know about the semiconductor chips and displays all around you? These electronic devices are indispensable to life in our modern world. Semiconductor chips and displays enable smartphones, PCs, digital cameras, game devices, and automobiles; they also support social infrastructure, including traffic, communications, and other social systems. In fact, Canon makes lithography equipment that produces semiconductor PPC-1chips and displays. We’ve been developing this technology for 50 years,
since the 1970 introduction of PPC-1 — Japan’s first semiconductor lithography equipment.
We’d like to express heartfelt gratitude to our customers and supporters over the past 50 years. We also hope to continue contributing to society and open new opportunities for prosperity over the next 50 years — through lithography innovation designed to match digital ingenuity. Look forward to the future with Canon.
