The new line will produce large-scale metal masks compatible with 8th-generation glass substrates, greatly improving the production efficiency of OLED displays for tablets and notebooks. Our Mihara plant in Hiroshima Prefecture is also an important center for the production of metal masks, and by working to back up this plant we aim to strengthen our Business Continuity Plan (BCP) responses.
By establishing the new production line, DNP plans to more than double its metal mask production capacity. We aim to further expand our business to tablets and notebooks by taking advantage of our superior position in maintaining the top global market share in the production of metal masks for smartphones.

The Outcome Economy at Work – New Research From Vertage15.10.2026 16:01:00 EEST | Press release
Three in four enterprises (74%) define significant work around outcomes, but only 15% are ready to deliver it consistently, according to new global research from HR tech leader Vertage. These ‘outcome-ready’ enterprises report higher customer satisfaction (91% vs. 67%), stronger delivery of strategic goals (86% vs. 65%) and faster conversion of opportunities into value (85% vs. 64%). They also have a cultural edge: 69% of their employees understand their contribution and can adapt how they work, compared with 34% elsewhere.

"The strongest businesses organize people, partners and AI around a clear result, and they keep human judgment at the center." The study, The Outcome Economy at Work, draws on 800 enterprise decision-makers and 1,200 workers across six markets, plus in-depth interviews with senior leaders. Its central finding is clear: outcome-based
