Toppan Printing Adds Image Sensing Capabilities with Brookman Technology Acquisition

Tokyo-based Toppan Printing is acquiring Brookman Technology Inc. Based in Hamamatsu, Japan, Brookman is a venture company originating from Shizuoka University that develops and provides custom CMOS image sensors and design services and time-of-flight sensor design technology. Toppan said Brookman Technology is scheduled to be made a subsidiary of Toppan by the end of March 2021. Toppan entered into a capital and business agreement with Brookman Technology in 2017.

As independents, the two companies subsequently collaborated on research and development in the field of 3D image sensing. Toppan said the acquisition will enable full-scale entry into the 3D image sensing market. Applications for Brookman’s products include autonomous robotics, test and measurement, and AR/VR.

There are 1718 suppliers of Test & Measurement in the Photonics Marketplace.

Glossary

3d printing: 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), is a manufacturing process that builds three-dimensional objects layer by layer from a digital model. This technology allows the creation of complex and customized structures that would be challenging or impossible with traditional manufacturing methods. The process typically involves the following key steps: Digital design: A three-dimensional digital model of the object is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. This...
time of flight: (TOF) The length of time needed for a signal to arrive at and be reflected from the target. The basis of an active autoranging/autofocus system.
virtual reality: Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment or experience that can be interacted with and explored by an individual using electronic devices, such as a headset with a display. VR aims to create a sense of presence, immersing users in a computer-generated world that can be entirely fictional or a replication of the real world. It often involves the use of specialized hardware and software to provide a fully immersive and interactive experience. ...
