Development Capabilities
For EIZO to consistently produce 'the best in the world', we must maintain strong technological capabilities and operate a united, globally integrated R&D organization that consolidates all imaging expertise with a unified vision. Through deep collaboration pushing boundaries, we deliver advanced visual imaging technology, grow our business, and deliver reliable, highquality solutions that create lasting value.
Overwhelming Technological Capabilities to Produce “High-quality, highly reliable” Imaging Hardware
We have developed a diverse range of imaging technologies by adhering to the rigorous standards required by vertical markets such as Healthcare, Creative Work, and V&S (Vertical & Specific), leveraging innovations incorporated into our monitors for the B&P (Business & Plus) segment.
Our approach involves the in-house development of all imaging-related technologies, including electronic circuits core imaging devices, image processors that enable proprietary image processing, display solutions for optimal image presentation, mechanical designs that integrate form and function, and software that enhance these capabilities. This comprehensive in-house development strategy has allowed us to maintain a consistent competitive edge and overwhelming market differentiation.
Additionally, in recent years, we have advanced our computing technologies to support proprietary image processing across various platforms, including FPGA, SoC, GPU, and cloud environments, tailored to specific applications. We have also developed video codecs and intellectual property (IP) technologies to ensure dependable image transmission across diverse network conditions. As a result, we deliver highquality,
reliable imaging hardware not only for monitor products responsible for image display but also spanning the entire imaging workflow, from capture and recording to transmission and display.
Maximizing Image Value by Integrating Hardware and Software
As digital transformation (DX) progresses across society, the scope of imaging applications continues to expand, ranging from telemedicine, remote operations, and remote work, further increasing the importance of the imaging technologies we possess. This is why we have broadened our product development to cover the entire Imaging Chain: 'capture, record, transmit, and display.'
Within this Imaging Chain, it is our software technology that connects imaging hardware and maximizing the value of visual data.
We are building systems that make imaging more convenient and accessible through software technologies such as application software for centralized management of visual data across the Imaging Chain, software for managing the quality and assets of imaging hardware, software that enhances clarity and visibility of image data captured for monitoring and inspection, and cybersecurity technologies that support the safe operation of devices and systems, all while incorporating cloud and AI technologies. Through these efforts, we are linking imaging technology to societal advancement by proposing solutions for advanced medical applications such as diagnostics and operating rooms and addressing social infrastructure challenges such as automation and remote operations.
By integrating high-quality, highly reliable imaging hardware with the software that connects it all, we are further strengthening the Imaging Chain that only EIZO can deliver, while expanding our business domains and evolving our business model.
Developing sustainable products that minimize environmental impact
Product development at the EIZO emphasizes both performance optimization and environmental responsibility throughout the product lifecycle. This approach involves integrating advanced energy-efficient technologies, utilizing recycled materials, and implementing proprietary features designed to reduce energy consumption.
Additionally, we proactively adapt to evolving international environmental standards and are dedicated to producing sustainable products that align with customer expectations for environmentally responsible and user-oriented design.
Further Reinforcement of Global Development System
EIZO operates development and manufacturing facilities worldwide. In our commitment to achieving excellence, we are building a comprehensive global portfolio of imaging technologies by standardizing core processes and leveraging the strengths of each location. This approach allows us to efficiently introduce products to various markets worldwide.
To encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing, we conduct regular virtual meetings and host the annual “EIZO Technology Showcase” in Japan. During this event, teams from each group showcase their technological advancements ensuring a mutual understanding. The showcase serves as a valuable platform for technical teams to exchange information and strategic discussions between group companies’ including
sales, planning and manufacturing teams.
