30 It s What s Inside that Counts. Think Fujifilm Media, for Today s & Tomorrow s Most Popular Drives! Thank You! FUJIFILM S Advanced super Thin-layer and high- Output Metal Media 30 10/4/99

31 Fujifilm s Coating Technology Creates Breakthrough Products Fujifilm began coating motion picture and photographic film in the mid 1930 s using die coating technology. Simultaneous multi-coating technology was developed in Also in 1960, Fujifilm produced its first magnetic tape products. In 1965, Fujifilm began manufacturing computer tape. Fujifilm s floppy disks (8-inch) were introduced in Fujifilm began manufacturing dual-coated magnetic media in 1989 and Advanced super Thin-layer and high-output Metal Media (ATOMM) dual-coated media in For ATOMM, Fujifilm s special die coating head simultaneously applies two separate and unique layers, one magnetic and one nonmagnetic. It s a dual coating system Fujifilm invented that has allowed us to continually develop the industry s next generation storage products and develop Nano Cubic Technology for future storage products with even greater capacities. 31
