Feature

Konoshima's transparent ceramics have several advantages,

(1) Scalability

It can be possible to fabricate large size crystals.

(2) Highly thermal conductivity

Konoshima's ceramic materials have excellent thermal properties.
Especially, the thermal conductivity of MgO is higher than that of sapphire.
