Let's move on to LED backlights. We had something of a timing issue, which we've already covered, so I won't go into the details here. Some of this year's smartphone models use fewer parts than last year's models, so we lost the added value for those parts.

Sales of motors are expected to reach 200 billion yen this fiscal year. Automotive motors are doing especially well as you can see in more detail on the graph. We are getting an increasing number of orders for actuators and seeing orders for resolvers and other parts for main as well as auxiliary engine motors flooding in. On top of that, sales of PM motors and brushless motors have been upbeat due to the new European auto exhaust emission standards that are slated to go into effect in 2021.
