Construction of Basic Patent Network for the Double-Layered Anisotropic Conductive Films by Hitachi Chemical
Hitachi Chemical has announced the construction of basic patent network for double-layered anisotropic conductive films. The new conductive films are ideal for connection with circuits formed on different types of adherents. Typically, the anisotropic conductive films are used for circuit connection in flat panel displays such as liquid crystal displays, in mobile handsets. It is a core technology for connecting multiple microcircuits. Read more
Construction of World’s Tallest Elevator Research Tower by HITACHI
Hitachi made an announcement that it will complete the construction of “G1TOWER”, a research elevator tower that is currently under construction at an elevator R&D and manufacturing base in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki Prefecture. The new tower measuring 213 meters will be the tallest elevator research facility in the world. The tower is designed to be used for verification tests on the world’s fastest elevator, with a speed of 1,080m/min, as well as product development targeting the world’s largest, high speed, high capacity elevator capable of carrying a five tone load with a speed of 600 m/min. Furthermore, the new tower will be used for development of vibration suppression control devices as well as internal air pressure adjustment devices to improve riding comfort during high-speed operations.
