QD Laser（6613 TSE Growth）
＋English Summary on This Page
Future growth driven by eyewear products utilizing retinal projection technology
Tech Venture with High Laser Diode Technology
QD Laser, launched in 2006 as a spin-off venture of Fujitsu Laboratories, develops, manufactures and sells products utilizing laser technologies. Laser is a principle to emit an artificial light with electromagnetic waves amplified in resonators or a light that is emitted using this principle. Lasers are classified into several types in accordance with the medium that emits the laser beam, and QD Laser handles laser diodes as its business field.
QD Laser conducts the laser device business, which manufactures and sells laser diode products, and the laser eyewear business, which develops eyewear products utilizing the world’s first retinal projection technology.
The company has been disclosing its business results since the fiscal year ended March 2016, but with the increasing trend of the investment burden of the laser eyewear business, its ordinary loss is on an increasing trend.
Laser Device Business
For the laser device business, the company conducts manufacturing and sales of laser diode products as well as accepting entrustment of research and development of basic technologies from research institutes and light source development for new applications from manufacturers. The laser device business accounts for 95.7% of the net sales for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2021, and most of the net sales are from manufacturing and sales of laser diode products.
Laser Eyewear Business
The laser eyewear business, which accounts for 4.3% of the net sales for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2021, conducts product development and manufacturing of eyewear type displays utilizing retinal projection technology using a laser (retinal scanning type laser eyewear).
Retinal scanning type laser eyewear is a product that directly projects images from ultrasmall laser projectors built into the eyewear frame to the retina and enables the wearer to view images and digital information. As it enables the wearer to view these without requiring the wearer’s eyesight or ability to adjust focus, it is used as visual aid equipment for people with bad eyesight or some people with social blindness.

概要（レポートから抜粋）
QDレーザ（以下、同社）は、06年に富士通研究所のスピンオフベンチャーとしてスタートし、レーザ技術を用いた製品の開発･製造･販売を行っている。
レーザは共振器を用いて電磁波を増幅して人工的な光を出す原理またはその原理で出される光である。レーザ光を放出する媒体によっていくつかの種類に分類されるが、同社は半導体レーザを事業領域としている。
同社の事業は、半導体レーザ製品の製造･販売を行うレーザデバイス事業と、世界初の網膜投影技術を活用したアイウェア製品の展開を行うレーザアイウェア事業の2つの報告セグメントに分類されている。
16/3期から医療用機器としてのアイウェア製品への開発投資が続き、レーザアイウェア事業のセグメント損失が続いている。そのため、同社全体でも営業損失が続いている。
