Light enables us to see the beauty of the world: nature, delightful shapes, and the faces of those around us. And without light, there would be no photosynthesis by plants, and life itself would not be possible. Light and water are equally essential to life on earth.

Opto-digital technology, which harnesses the power of light, is the foundation of Olympus. Olympus has established a unique research center, the Future Creation Laboratory, to explore the potential of this opto-digital technology.

Reflecting its commitment to opto-digital technology, the logo of the Future Creation Laboratory uses the three primary colors of red, blue and green. These colors of light hint at the infinite possibilities of the unknown and the indeterminacy of organic life and humankind itself.

This indeterminate shape implies potential, living organisms, teamwork in research, and flexible thinking. The three slightly misaligned shapes appear like objects viewed under a microscope, suggesting exploration and pursuit.
