Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (DNP) is pleased to announce the September operational launch of a coating device compatible with 2,500 mm-width high-functional optical film at our Mihara Plant in Hiroshima Prefecture.
The operational launch of the second wide coating device comes in response to market and consumer needs, and will boost production capacity by more than 15% on an area basis. With the increased capacity, DNP will accommodate the demand for high-functional optical film for 65-inch large-screen TVs, with horizontal and vertical dimensions of 1,436.4 mm x 809.0 mm, which are expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 6% between 2025 and 2030 on an area basis.
Features
- Facilitates the efficient manufacture or imposition of high-function optical film for 65-inch large screen displays.
- Designed to facilitate in-line multi-layer coating for the needs of high-end TV models, it enables the reduction of reflected light and improves visibility compared to single-layer products.
- By introducing new technologies that reduce power consumption and innovating production processes, the introduction of the new line is expected to reduce annual CO₂ emissions by approximately 30% compared to devices in current use.
Looking Ahead
DNP will expand its supply of high functional optical film to polarizer manufacturers in China, along with other countries and regions, aiming for annual sales of approximately 110 billion yen in FY 2026.
