Business Field
Crystal devices play an important role in controlling all inner movements of electronics products to enable the accurate transmission and processing of the vast amounts of information by using signals from accurate and stable vibrations.
NDK crystal devices are used virtually in every type of electronics, especially, automotive market where will be expanded greatly with ADAS related equipment, mobile phones which has high growth potentials for 5G applications, and furthermore, computers, home appliances, game consoles, digital cameras, and medical devices.
Automobile (Automotive)
No.1 global market share in crystal devices contributing to the automobile revolution
NDK is one of the oldest manufacturers of automotive crystal devices. With over 50 years of experience in developing crystal devices for automotive applications since the early 1970s when automotive automation began, NDK has accumulated significant expertise. Beyond the traditional functions of 'driving,' 'turning,' and 'stopping,' NDK's crystal devices play a important role within ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), utilizing cameras and sensors. Our products withstand severe shocks and vibrations, and continue to oscillate frequencies accurately even under extreme temperature changes, significantly supporting the safety of your daily life.
Smartphones / IoT Devices (Mobile Communications)
With NDK's technology, achieving smaller packages and high frequencies, leading to the convenience of your daily life
NDK's technology is integral to the functioning of IoT devices, especially in smartphones and smartwatches that utilize various applications and services. As mobile communication transitions to 5G and communication speeds increase, there is a growing demand for crystal devices that are smaller and support higher frequencies. To meet this demand, NDK has developed crystal devices using photolithography technology. The reliability of these devices has gained the support of many customers, leading to further expansion in demand.
Base Stations / Data Center (Industrial Equipment)
The only Japanese mass-producing OCXOs for 5G base stations towards the world markets. Developed crystal oscillators realized high frequencies, high presicion, low jitter for AI severs.
NDK contributes to important systems as social infrastructure, such as base stations of mobile communication, and data centers, where demand is expanding due to the proliferation of AI servers. For 5G systems, NDK supplies various crystal devices, including high-performance OCXOs (oven-controlled crystal oscillators), to control base stations known as CUs (central units) and DUs (distributed units). Moreover, NDK has developed compact SPXOs (single-ended output crystal oscillators) to capture the growing demand for data centers driven by the proliferation of AI servers.
PCs / TVs / Game Consoles / Cameras / Household Appliances (Consumer Electronics)
The frequencies generated by high-quality crystal devices support various aspects of everyday life.
NDK's crystal devices are used in various products that support your daily life, such as notebook PCs, LCD TVs, game consoles, and household appliances. There is a reason why we can supply mass-produced, high-quality crystal devices for consumer electronics. At NDK's Sayama Plant in Saitama Prefecture, one of the world's largest autoclaves (high-temperature, high-pressure furnaces) for producing synthetic quartz crystal is installed, where about 2 tons of synthetic quartz are produced. Each piece of synthetic quartz crystal produced there is of the same size and quality, and more than 2 million crystal devices can be made from a single piece of synthetic quartz, making it world-class.
Medical Devices
Meeting Demands for High Precision, Miniaturization, Lightweight Design, and Wireless Capability
to Expand Support for Health-Related Applications
NDK has applied its advanced technological expertise to the medical and healthcare fields, addressing increasingly diverse needs. By responding to demands for higher precision, smaller size, and lighter weight, we have contributed to the evolution of many medical devices. In recent years, the need for wireless functionality and remote operation has also grown in medical equipment. NDK's sensing and communication technologies are finding broader applications in these areas. Going forward, NDK will continue to contribute to the medical and healthcare sectors by providing advanced technologies that support people's health and well-being.
Aerospace and Special Equipment / Infrastructure for the Government / Semiconductor Equipment (Frequency Synthesizers / QCM Sensors)
Satellites carrying the dreams of humanity
NDK's products working within them
Equipment installed in satellites and rockets is required to perform under harsh conditions such as shocks and vibrations during launch, severe thermal fluctuations, and high levels of radiation. NDK is designated by JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) as the only domestic certified manufacturer of crystal units and crystal oscillators, demonstrating the superiority of NDK's crystal devices. Additionally, QCM sensors are being explored for use not only in space exploration but also in monitoring semiconductor manufacturing processes.
