Pioneer Electronic Corporation uses NEC semiconductors in many of its products, including car stereos and navigation systems. In our semiconductor business, the development of increasingly customized large-scale integrated circuits (LSIs) requires a higher level of customer support than ever before, and our development time has a direct effect on our customers' competitiveness. For these reasons, we are constantly working to raise technical and managerial efficiency in LSI development. At NEC, we know the importance of a strong customer focus in all our activities.
