Ensuring Innovation throughAdvancement and Expansion
The Eizo Nanao Group has built up a range of key technologies to advance the company’s core
competences in the development of imaging equipment such as computer monitors.
Our management focus, based on these core competences, involves harnessing the synergies
between our various business units and developing new products to strengthen our product base.
Products such as our FlexScan® high-quality LCD monitors deliver a high degree of added value. To
meet the exacting requirements of the medical market, meanwhile, we have developed RadiForce®
medical display monitors; and for the demanding graphics market, ColorEdge® calibratable LCD
monitors. These examples show how we are able to clearly differentiate EIZO from its competitors.
We have also created visual solutions that integrate hardware and software: two examples are
amusement monitors and home video game software. In the case of our FORIS LCD TVs, we seek
to further develop the products’ high-quality imaging and sound, along with our unique and
sophisticated designs that distinguish them from the competition. In Japan, we have established a
new business model that incorporates a system of direct marketing: EIZO Direct, a web-based store,
and EIZO Galleria, a direct-order shop.
Looking to the future, we will continue to develop our already advanced enterprises and keep
driving them onwards. We aim to consolidate a clear brand identity encompassing technology,
product value, and service. Despite an increasingly competitive business environment, we vow to
create the added value that will deliver true satisfaction to our customers.

Eizo Nanao Corporation is now firmly established as
the world’s leading specialist in high-quality visual
display systems. With the market showing rapid
growth in both size and diversity, we continue to
consolidate our position with products that integrate
excellence in technology with new, cutting-edge
software applications. Such integration inevitably
transcends the traditional boundaries of development,
design and production, and is taking EIZO forward
into exciting and challenging new areas of business.
Supported by an active commitment to the
environment, EIZO quality is increasingly recognized
for offering the best available combinations of
performance, reliability, comfort and service. For
major corporations, research institutes, financial and
medical institutions, as well as professionals in many
other fields, EIZO display systems define the current
industry standards.

Integrating Hardware and Software to Explore New Product Directions
A key factor in EIZO's success is innovation—our
record of introducing products with features and
functions that meet specific user needs, and help to
make work more productive. We are intensifying our
focus into new fields where we can make effective
use of our core technologies. For example, we are
allocating more resources to niche markets, such as
medical, graphics, and air traffic control, where
greater accuracy and reliability are required.
In the on-going digital revolution, computer monitors
can no longer handle still images alone; moving
pictures are a growth field, and our monitor
technologies must handle them well.
We have responded by applying full motion-image
technologies developed in creating and
commercializing the FORIS LCD TV to advances in
other product lines. Imaging and innovation: We are
on the frontier of technology, living up to the
expectation and trust our customers have in EIZO as
a universal brand.

A World of Amusement
Applying our display expertise to the amusement
market, we manufacture a range of LCD-based
simulation monitors, and have developed
customized LSIs for moving images. This hardware
is complemented by a fast-growing inventory of
original software for use in video arcades and
consumer game consoles such as the PlayStation®
range. We have created several successful products
that benefit from our high screen resolutions and
feature original characters and settings developed in
cooperation with our affiliate company, Irem

To create the products of the future, EIZO’s R&D
department pursues two complementary aims:
spearheading the development of new technologies, and
integrating existing ones to meet emerging market needs.
The first of these aims involves advanced research in
fields such as graphics processing; the design of high-
frequency circuits and LSIs; image and voice
compression; and the promising next-generation display
technology of organic electro luminescent devices. The
second seeks new ways of increasing monitor display
areas; more compact and space-efficient product design;
and greater operational flexibility through functions such
as improved color control, multimedia compatibility, and
reduced power consumption.
By enhancing performance and adding value to products
throughout the range, comprehensive research and
development are central to maintaining EIZO’s position as
the leading manufacturer of high-end monitors for
professional and personal use.

We have set up on-site anechoic chambers, which are used for measuring
emission noise. Tests confirm that EIZO products comply with various
international regulations covering electromagnetic interference and
susceptibility, and that compliance is maintained whenever those regulations
are revised. The chambers have been registered as accredited testing sites.

On-site Anechoic Chambers for Emission Testing
Corporate responsibility for environmental protection
demands action, not words. EIZO’s activities include
designing products with ergonomic features to protect
users from emission-induced eyestrain and fatigue;
promoting non-toxicity; cutting industrial waste; saving
energy; and expanding our program of product recycling.
To help users stay healthy, alert, and productive, EIZO
products feature reduced glare and distortion, uniform
brightness across the screen, power management functions
to minimize energy consumption, and the lowest possible
levels of emissions. As a member of Japan’s Green
Purchasing Network, we also work closely with our
suppliers to reduce the volume of harmful substances in
components and materials. Every year we see improved
results from our measures to save resources and reduce
waste. Many employee education programs are conducted,
covering topics such as life-cycle assessment and
environmental accounting.
These actions add up to a comprehensive in-house
environmental management system, which has ISO 14001
certification. Individual products also meet the rigorous
international standards applicable to their respective
markets, which include the EPA Energy Star® Program
(USA), Energy 2000 (Switzerland), TCO ’03 (Sweden),
Nordic Ecolabeling (Northern Europe), TÜV/Ergonomics,
and the CE Mark. We instituted our own environmental
standard, “EIZO Eco Products,” which includes
requirements regarding such issues as the use of recycled
plastics.
Environmental Awareness
ÉiÉiÉIâÔé–àƒì‡.qxdÇÃÉRÉsÅ[ 08.4.15 2:26 PM Page 11
The consistent quality and reliable performance of
EIZO products is directly linked to our concentration of
planning and design operations, as well as component
production, at our central facility in Ishikawa, Japan.
The specific experience and skills of our employees are
indispensable for the standards of craftsmanship our
customers expect, as is the familiarity with processes
and technologies that enables them to quickly master
new training programs and accommodate the frequent
innovations characteristic of our industry. This expertise
also supports our ISO 9001 certification, by which each
manufacturing facility adheres to a detailed and
comprehensive quality control system.
With these resources, EIZO’s Japan-based operations
continue to support the development of safe,
environmentally sound products, without compromising
quality.

EIZO’s marketing has an increasingly global outreach, and we
currently have representation in more than 20 countries
worldwide. The products themselves share a unified concept and
identity, but individual features necessarily show some variation
in line with user needs or regulatory standards prevailing in
different countries. Close cooperation between our technical
support section, domestic service centers, and overseas
distributors enables us to gather market information efficiently
and activate service operations whenever and wherever they are
needed.
With smoothly integrated production from original concept to
final user, EIZO display systems are known and trusted
throughout the world.
