This week, KYOCERA AVX and its parent company, Kyocera Corporation, are co-exhibiting at CES 2025 in Las Vegas. Kyocera Corporation and KYOCERA AVX are exhibiting a wide range of highly developed component and device technologies intended to facilitate cutting-edge solutions to the most urgent and widespread problems in the world.
The following innovative products and technologies are being displayed by Kyocera Corporation and are tailored for next-generation, highly reliable automotive, transportation, logistics, industrial automation, communications, and medical applications:
- A state-of-the-art High-Definition Aerial Display that minimizes power consumption and physical space needs while producing realistic, high-resolution floating images using curved mirrors and a range of non-contact sensors. The co-branded exhibit, #4816 in the Vehicle Tech and Advanced Mobility zone, offers CES attendees a futuristic automobile navigation demonstration featuring the new display.
- With a best-in-class resolution that is ten times more accurate than conventional monocular measurements, this innovative AI-based depth sensor helps users better deal with labor shortages and increase productivity by accurately measuring difficult targets, such as minuscule, shiny, and semi-transparent objects. Helping robots sort small parts in industrial manufacturing, precisely measuring human body parts, detecting bright metallic surgical equipment, and allowing for the peripheral monitoring of transportation robots in logistics and retail operations are all examples of ideal uses.
- • The world’s fastest underwater communication speeds, up to 2Gb/s, are made possible by a novel new underwater wireless optical communication technology that combines fast-response, semi-polar gallium nitride (GaN) lasers that improve data communication capabilities by increasing optical bandwidth and special beam shape propagation characteristics. This revolutionary optical communication technique is not only fast but also extremely secure and dependable, able to transmit to specific receivers, and resistant to sunlight.
- A smart, contactless, Millimeter-Wave (mmWave) Sensing System that accurately detects even minute vibrations in vital sensing applications, including autonomous driving and health (e.g., heart rate) monitors.
- • A mmWave Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology that uses 4D imaging radar in favor of mechanical-based LiDAR to offer safer, more precise autonomous driving capabilities—even in inclement weather—while lowering costs.
- The multipurpose new Camera-LiDAR Fusion Sensor — the first LiDAR sensor in the world with an integrated camera, an optical axis, and a special MEMS mirror that offers the highest resolution and durability in the world and makes it possible to superimpose LiDAR distance data and camera image data in real-time for sophisticated object recognition. Ships, heavy machinery, and ADAS are ideal applications.
- A new Bifocal Mirror that uses augmented reality (AR) technology to better support safe driving by instantly displaying information recognized by the rearview camera in the mirror, and that shows enlarged images in the distance, making it easier for farsighted drivers to adjust their focus and see their surroundings clearly.
KYOCERA AVX is exhibiting a range of cutting-edge components intended to facilitate next-generation technology across several industries. Highlighted elements on exhibit at CES 2025 consist of:
- Antennas optimized to facilitate wireless connectivity in a wide variety of applications extending throughout the automotive, industrial, IoT, consumer, medical, transportation, and networking industries, including high-reliability standard and ultra-small chip antennas rigorously tested to AEC-Q200 requirements, such as the A-Series all-in-one (LTE, GNSS, and NTN) embedded automotive broadband antennas and 2.4GHz automotive corner chip antennas.
- Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) that exhibit low parasitics, excellent EMI filtering capabilities, high capacitance values, and various voltage ratings over a wide temperature range and are available in chip, leaded, and stacked configurations in addition to unique geometries.
- The industry’s widest range of high-reliability tantalum capacitors, which includes the smallest case size, highest temperature, and lowest DCL MnO2 solid tantalum technologies available on the market.
- An award-winning portfolio of conductive, low-profile, lead- and halogen-free solid electrolytic polymer capacitors that exhibit excellent stability, high capacitance, low-ESR performance, and a benign failure mode under recommended use conditions — including the smallest, highest-voltage, and highest reliability polymer capacitors available on the market.
- Aluminum electrolytic chip capacitors that deliver high-CV, high endurance, and very low ESR performance in smaller packages than competing can-type aluminum capacitors and specialized conductive polymer and hybrid electrolytic versions that also exhibit higher tolerance for ripple currents, inrush currents, and high temperatures than standard versions.
- Low-, medium-, and high-power dry and oil-impregnated film capacitors based on polyester and polypropylene dielectrics that exhibit controlled self-healing capabilities, are engineered for power electronics applications rated for 75V to 100kV, and are ideal for applications ranging from DC filtering and semiconductor protection and tuning to discharge and high energy storage.
- Supercapacitors or double-layer capacitors that provide a unique combination of characteristics, including very high pulse power and capacitance densities.
- An extensive portfolio of high-quality sensing and control products that make engines more efficient, emissions cleaner, and cars safer and are designed and produced according to the stringent requirements of the global automotive industry.
- A variety of unique connectors based on industry-proven contact technology and proven to provide robust, performance-driven solutions in a wide range of harsh-environment applications, including the industry’s first dual-entry card-edge connectors, which also feature the company’s lowest above-board height profile.
