Back to Financial Results (FY3/2018)

Investor Conference Call for 1Q FY 3/2018 held on August 4, 2017

Let's now move on to look at the status of our LED backlight business.
Production of LED backlights for our major customers got off to a smooth start this first quarter as demand remained within the usual range of ups and downs unlike last fiscal year. Boasting high quality and low cost, orders for our LED backlights maintain steady. Also, we are going to finish the accelerated depreciation for production equipment of LED backlights by the end of this fiscal year. This means that the financial impact has been minimized even if we see a decline in the future.
Although we assume it should be a bit too premature to decide how the trend of smartphone display in the future would be, we will prioritize on expanding sales of LED backlights mostly for high-end automobiles even further. Toward the smartphone market, at the same time, we keep developing the full-screen type of LED backlights since we assume there could be demands for LED backlights to some extent in the next year as well.
