Our NRP^® was published in the Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Japan Economic News post) dated 21 July 2014.

Our previous processing of lens material (RP, reheat-pressed product) was molded to a predetermined size that included a flap zone, has been used over the years for spherical glass lenses and was manufactured through the process of grinding and polishing.

The NRP^® process that we developed produces lens material shape accuracy improvement (three times higher precision of RP), surface defects less than 1/3 and thickness variation accuracy improvement (5 times over the current company standard) which could significantly reduce the allowance of polishing lens and reduce the processing fluctuation.

The currently recommended glass FDS90, is widely use as a typical high refractive optical glass with high dispersion.　However, this glass type has its specific coloration, many of our customers requested the improvement of its transmission.

In order to response the request of our valuable customers, HOYA was devoted to investigate, and finally come to the result　of establishing the stablized production technology of the following high transmission optical glass.
