It is characterized by its high sensitivity to slight deformations and a flexible structure that can be installed in curved forms even in small spaces. The Picoleaf™ material is made of plant-derived polylactic acid (raw material: starch), a rarity in electronic components. This sustainable material contributes to a carbon-neutral society by not increasing the total amount of carbon dioxide, a cause of global warming.<br> <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.murata.com/ja-jp/products/sensor/picoleaf" target="_blank">https://www.murata.com/ja-jp/products/sensor/picoleaf</a></p> <div style="text-align: center;"><img src="/-/media/corporate/about/newsroom/news/company/general/2023/0609/0609_img0003.ashx?la=ja-jp&h=237&w=300&cvid=20230529023058000000" style="height: 237px; width: 300px;"></div> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h2>About MTG Co., Ltd.</h2> <p>Based in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, MTG is a fabless manufacturer with a business vision of “VITAL LIFE—We will help create a world where everyone lives a happy, beautiful and active life.” It develops brands, products, and services in the health, beauty, and hygiene sectors.
