Established in Kyoto, Japan, in 1958, ROHM designs and manufactures integrated circuits and other electronic components. ROHM’s product line includes monolithic ICs, power modules, transistors, LED lamps, LED displays, laser diodes, LCDs, printheads, contact image sensors, photo link modules, resistors and capacitors. ROHM’s LED product line includes an ultra bright LED series that incorporates an original four-element (AlGaInP) compound. ROHM’s latest full-color dot matrix LED units take advantage of an exclusive potting lens development technology that results in greater readability and viewing contrast. Incorporating a 1,024-level grayscale driver for each color (red, green, blue), these modules are capable of producing up to a billion colors - producing the highest quality color expressions in a variety of visual formats. ROHM has manufacturing plants in seven countries and a global sales operation from the Far East to North America and is among the top twenty semiconductor manufacturers worldwide. For more than forty years, ROHM has stayed focused on the fundamental philosophy of customization. The company has worked closely with equipment manufacturers to develop next generation equipment and use the technology acquired through these efforts to propose system solutions to its customers and continually provide them with high added values. The majority of ROHM’s manufacturing equipment has been developed in-house, giving ROHM the ability to respond immediately to changing market needs. The extent of ROHM products is a result of innovations and the capability to adjust to market demands. Automotive, telecommunication, computer and consumer OEMs are the leading end users of ROHM products.
