Load-lock type
Frequency Adjustment Equipment
SFE-B03
Quartz devices, such as crystal units and crystal oscillators, are used to ensure the accurate operation of mechanisms, and piezoelectric effect,
an electrical property of crystals, is used to produce the electrical signals that are then used as the reference for accurate operation.
Quartz devices are incorporated in various electronic devices that can be seen all around us.
Quartz devices are irreplaceable for the electronic devices we use in our daily lives and thus are called "the salt of industry."
The key technology in the production process for quartz devices is vacuum technology.
As a pioneer in this field, Showa Shinku offers a broad lineup of quartz device manufacturing equipment to support electrode formation, frequency adjustment and other processes.
We hold a commanding share in this sector.
We also make a major contribution to increasing customer productivity through our development activities to achieve the higher accuracy,
smaller sizes and lower costs required for quartz devices.
| Quartz devices | An electrical device which is processed from synthetic quartz by utilizing the electrical and optical properties of quartz. |
|---|---|
| Piezoelectric effect | The phenomenon where an electric load is generated by applying pressure to a crystaline material such as quartz. |
Ultra High-performance
Optical Thin-film Evaporation Equipment
Sapio-1300/1550
In recent years, multi-function devices, such as smartphones, have become increasingly smaller, thinner, and use more complexly shaped parts. Showa Shinku utilizes its extensive
experience and proven applications in the opto-electronics field and is actively researching AR coat and IR-cut filters for lens modules. Our products also enjoy a wide
range of application such as in splitters for optical communications.
Based on the keywords of higher density images, smaller size and lower cost, we are ready to meet the needs of customers in this sector while continued business expansion is
expected especially in the overseas market. Showa Shinku provides advantageous products to its customers by soundly identifying market needs and through R&D to provide solutions to those needs.
| Opto-electronics | this is the technology in general that converts light to electrical signals or vice-versa. |
|---|---|
| AR coat | Anti-reflection films that prevent light reflection and reflection images from the background. Adopted when light reflectiion neeeds to be prevented. |
| IR-cut filters | A filter that passes visible light while blocking near infrared (IR) light. This is used in difital cameras and liquid crystal projectors to capture and project the same colors that are seen by human eyes. |
