NICHIA
The invention of these Nitride-based LED and laser diodes causes the technological innovation of light source in the field of display, general lighting, automotive, industrial equipment, and medical care & measurement. Nichia has been taking the lead to develop and manufacture LEDs, LD (Laser Diodes) and semiconductor materials based on the technology cultivated since its foundation. As an innovator of the light, Nichia will continue to make contributions to the further improvement of life and industry in the years to come.
Nichia also strives to develop the unique chemical products such as cathode materials for Lithium-ion batteries which are the key materials in the fields of energy, phosphors, magnetic materials, vacuum evaporation materials, organometallic compounds, and medical materials. These chemical products are based on the core technologies in powder synthesis Nichia has built up during its many years.
By maintaining a consistent quality management system through product planning, development, design, prototype production, mass production, sales, and logistics, Nichia will continue to explore the world’s best monotsukuri* that is environmentally-friendly and enhance its services to make customers satisfied.

Nichia is creating, manufacturing, and developing that are not only focused on the simple process of manufacturing inside a factory but also include the creation, utilization, and combination of ideas, technologies, and expertise. Nichia has grown in the field of development, manufacturing and sales of fine chemicals, particularly inorganic luminescent materials (phosphors). In the process of the challenging pursuit of brighter luminescent and light-emitting materials, we succeeded in developing and commercializing the super high brightness Blue LED in 1993, which greatly impressed the world. Since the first introduction of the Blue LED in 1993, we succeeded in developing the world’s first white LED by combining yellow phosphor and blue LED, followed by the successful development of practical level of blue-violet semiconductor laser for the first time in the world.
