Different mobile multimedia-oriented products are successfully being introduced to the digital consumer-equipment market. These products include portable music players, digital video cameras and cellular phones that connect to various networks, centered around the Internet. In order to respond to these trends and the need for mobile equipment to be smaller, thinner and lower-power, Hitachi is promoting the development of large-capacity flash memory devices, SRAM devices intended for use in mobile equipment that use less power than conventional devices, and space-saving DRAM devices with wider bit configurations. Meanwhile, the high-end information equipment market, typically represented by servers and workstations, is growing significantly in line with the rapid penetration and expansion of the Internet. The capacities of built-in memory are also becoming larger. This is supported by the increased demand for larger built-in memory units. These market situations have led Hitachi to introduce new large-capacity memory modules.
