SDK is sampling a novel high-performance aluminium reflector for crystal liquid displays for use in personal computers and television sets.
In June 2005, SDK became the world's first company to use the perpendicular magnetic recording technology on a commercial scale when it started production of 1.89in HD media based on the technology.
Demand for HD media is growing rapidly for such consumer electronics applications as HDD recorders and mobile music players.
Furthermore, there is an increasing demand for notebook PCs with large-capacity HDDs to enable the storage and editing of pictures recorded from TV programs or taken with video cameras.
The new 2.5in HD media to be produced by SDK will be used mainly in such notebook PCs.
An HDD containing two SDK disks will have a total capacity of 200Gbyte.
With the spread of digital terrestrial broadcasting and provision of moving pictures via the Internet, there will be a growing demand for mobile music players and cellular phones having the capability to handle moving pictures.
SDK will continue to meet customer requirements by further developing advanced HD media, including the world's smallest 0.85in disk based on the perpendicular magnetic recording technology, and expanding production capacity in a timely manner.
