Preserving both human safety and structural material that may be compromised from radiation exposure are vital concerns, as well as tungsten alloy radiation wall, such as electronic devices and photographic film in tungsten alloy radiation wall.
Due to rapid digitization, the Fujifilm Group once faced a dramatic reduction of the market demand for our main products, photosensitive materials including photographic film and color photographic paper. After overcoming such a drastic change in the operating environment, the entire company has united its efforts to reform our business structure and realize a robust corporate constitution throughout the Group.
One focus of our research is using advanced technologies developed in the photographic film business, such as nano-dispersion technology, to deliver the right amount of drug to the right part of the body.
Depending on the device dimensions, required resolution and budget, these masks could be fabricated in chrome(highest resolution, high cost), created on photographic film, or even printed directly on an overhead transparency using a high resolution printer.
Konica Minolta addressed these problems by applying techniques used in its own silver halide particle development technologies fostered for photographic films. The company has successfully developed fluorescent nanoparticles that are both approximately 30,000 times as bright as conventional fluorescent dyes and highly photostable.
By means of patents, Konica Minolta protects its core technologies in the fields of materials, optics, nano-fabrication and imaging, which the company has accumulated through the development and manufacture of cameras and photo films. The company is implementing intellectual property strategies established for respective business sectors and creating new products and businesses by leveraging these core technologies.
In the field of healthcare, not only Fujifilm, which selected as one of its focus fields to replace photographic films, but also other companies are entering the market from various industries in anticipation of market growth on the back of the aging society. This situation may lead to the formation of a new industry inclusive of pharmaceuticals, equipment and materials, services, etc.
In recent years, in the photographic film industry whose markets sharply shrank on the back of the prevalence of digital cameras, the US company Eastman Kodak(ranked 467th in the world by market capitalization in 2000) filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and downsized its operations. On the contrary, Fujifilm in Japan symbolically maintained its operations by making a shift to printing equipment and materials, recording media, and medical equipment and pharmaceuticals businesses.
Specifically, the company's nanotechnology and fine chemical technology that have emerged and evolved from the development of photographic films make chemical reactions highly controllable, and allow target antibodies to be detected with high sensitivity at the molecular level. In addition, the lens design know-how and light-guiding technology honed through the development of cameras are expected to be particularly useful in the detection of weak light and fluorescence, as well as other situations, thus improving the performance of such tests.
