Television screens continue to grow larger alongside the accelerating shift to 4K. Supporting this advancement are the flat-panel display (FPD) lithography systems used to manufacture large, high-resolution LCD and organic LED (OLED) panels. In this video, we introduce the Canon technology helping to improve efficiency in panel manufacturing ― including an FPD lithography system that supports one-shot exposure of six 55-inch panels with thin-film transistor (TFT) circuitry capable of resolving Line/Space (L/S) features of 2.0 μm (approximately 1/50 the width of a human hair).

Equipped with OLED displays, smartphones are becoming more and more sophisticated and achieving higher and higher resolutions. FPD (flat-panel display) lithography equipment supports the production of these high-resolution displays. Canon’s FPD lithography equipment utilizes a concave mirror measuring 1.5 meters in diameter ― developed in-house ― that can expose circuits with a linewidth of 1.5 micrometers (about 1/60 the width of a human hair) onto large glass substrates. Making possible the on-shot exposure of 200 six-inch smartphone displays, this equipment contributes to increased productivity for display production.

The Subaru Telescope scans the cosmos from the peak of Mauna Kea, Hawaii, 4,200 m above sea level.
As the only 8-meter class telescope equipped with an observation system at prime focus, the Subaru Telescope has been used since 1999 in the search for answers to the mysteries surrounding the origin and structure of the universe. In addition, a new prime-focus camera, the Hyper Suprime-Cam, was developed to make possible an even wider field of view. The camera is equipped with a prime-focus corrector optical system, a high-performance lens unit that was developed and manufactured by Canon to help advance studies in the field of space science.

The last challenge in lens design is the pair of phenomena known as ghosting and flare. Using a completely-new coating technology, SWC, Canon succeeded in overcoming those phenomena. By taking a cue from insect eyes and other mechanisms existing in nature and applying leading-edge nanotechnology, Canon realized the creation of a non-reflective structure.

Fluorite is the ideal mineral for correcting chromatic aberration. However, no naturally occurring fluorite can meet all the requirements for a camera lens. Based on our belief in making use of its own abilities to create whatever is necessary, Canon overcame the numerous barriers that stood before us to successfully realize the mass production of fluorite lenses. Canon is now the only manufacturer to incorporate fluorite in its auto-focus lenses for SLR cameras.

An image processor is the brain of a digital camera. Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor offers ultra-high-speed image processing capabilities to enable a whole new world of photographic expression. DIGIC 4 includes such functions as Face Detection technology, Full HD video recording, and servo auto-focus for continuous subject focus and exposure. The image processor also incorporates neural-network technology that recognizes facial expressions and instantly detects whether or not a subject's eyes are closed.
