Power devices are used in fields that require even greater power, current, and voltage control, as exemplified by electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid vehicles, autonomous driving technologies, and renewable energy such as solar power. It is expected that the substrate material for semiconductors will move from silicon (Si) toward the adoption of silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), and even higher performance and efficiency will be required.

Besides augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and other extended reality (XR) devices represented by head mounted displays used in the metaverse, micro displays have expanding applications in in-vehicle displays due to the spread of autonomous driving and wearable devices. Using minute structures, they are small in size, lightweight, and offer excellent power efficiency.

Waveguides combine digital images and real-world scenery, delivering them as images to a person's field of view. Unlike head mounted displays of the past, it is possible to make devices smaller and lighter, as represented by augmented reality (AR) glasses.

High radio frequency (RF) application devices that enable telecommunication frameworks with low impact on the environment and greater power efficiency are indispensable for expanding the uses of wearable devices and wireless communication devices. They have a wide range of applications, from personal computers and smartphones to audio-visual equipment, automobiles, factory automation equipment, telecommunications, and social infrastructure.

A low-power image sensor based on complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) sensor technology, a CMOS image sensor (CIS) consumes only about 1/10 of the power needed for a charge-coupled device (CCD), operates with a single voltage supply, and can integrate peripheral circuits on the same chip. However, it is generally said to be difficult to achieve high resolution levels using such sensors. They are therefore often relegated to use in relatively affordable digital cameras such as mobile phones and webcams.

As a technology that responds to increasing communication data volume and power consumption around the world, silicon (Si) photonics can process data at high speeds, enable smaller devices, and reduce power consumption by transmitting information using light.

Displays are found in all kinds of electronic devices indispensable in daily life, including television sets, personal computers, smartphones, and portable music players. Technology evolves endlessly, making devices slimmer and achieving other advancements such as higher resolution, higher luminosity, and better color reproducibility.
