Core Competences
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.

Environmental Awareness
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
These actions add up to a comprehensive in-house

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.
