Summary

Koike

Along with the rapid growth 8K/5G technologies, development that would surpass by far the conventional technologies such as high-speed data transmission and high-definition displays, etc. is an urgent need. We are aiming to create a new future by disseminating photonics polymer technologies for the High Speed Graded Index Plastic Optical Fiber (GI POF) and the Ultra High Definition Display that were born in Keio University by collaborating with the industry.
