OKI Printing Solutions Advancement on ''More Than Moore'' at International Nanotechnology Conference (INC4)

TOKYO--(Business Wire)--
OKI Printing Solutions and its LED business company, OKI Digital
Imaging, today announced their participation in the 4th International
Nanotechnology Conference on Communication and Cooperation, to be held
14th-17th April in Tokyo, Japan.

   As the world's first to achieve mass production of advanced-type
LED printheads using nanotechnology for integrating CMOS and LEDs, OKI
Digital Imaging will give an invited lecture in the session of 'More
than Moore - Bridge to Photonics'. The lecture will encompass that EFB
technology will bring breakthrough in "Silicon photonics" and will
view future prospect of EFB technology as a Bridge to Photonics. EFB
technology, which has been applied to OKI Printing Solutions'
printers, is a revolutionary technology specifically developed to
enhance the performance and productivity of its High Definition LED
printheads -- setting OKI Printing Solutions apart from its
competitors.

   The annual International Nanotechnology Conference on
Communication and Cooperation strengthens the dialogue between Japan,
Europe and the United States on nanotechnology. Over 300 global senior
researchers, industry leaders, policy makers and technologists will
highlight nanotechnology's challenges of tomorrow and explore its
links between biotechnology, advanced materials development,
micro-/nano-electro-mechanical-systems and photonics.

   Harushige Sugimoto, President and CEO of OKI Printing Solutions
said: "We are delighted that our original EFB technology is gaining
recognition as a key achievement in 'More than Moore' theory. EFB
technology will create innovative integrated device systems providing
high-functionality through innovation, as opposed to pursuing
advancements along the 'Moore's Law.' We look forward to exchanging
our views on future research priorities and trends in nanotechnology
with global researchers to further contribute to economic growth."

   OKI Printing Solutions' breakthrough EFB is a complex
nanotechnology that works by releasing and bonding thin films onto
dissimilar materials using intermolecular force. EFB enables to
connect integrated devices with monolithic structure of thin film
wirings. This reduces the need for wire bonding and significantly cuts
down on the size of integrated thin film devices. EFB technology has
been recognized with a range of awards and is suitable for various
applications in higher density integration of dissimilar material
devices.

   The technology has improved LED printhead productivity and has
significantly contributed to a more efficient LED printhead
manufacturing process. EFB provides an enhancement to the existing LED
technology, reaffirming OKI Printing Solutions' position as an
innovator and pioneer.
