Having "Ever Researching for a Brighter World"​ as our motto, 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.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.We hope that Nichia will continue to be a company that makes contributions to the world by evolving its original and unique technologies in the field of manufacturing.
