SI Electronics - SEGA Related?

Since the other thread was locked, I have some questions about this company.

I see they are owned by Sammy, and were acquired in 2001 as a subsidiary. I see it says "Digital Entertainment" on their home page, and says "Future", but they don't list any products.

TEXAN, you seem to know something about this company. Why did Sammy buy them, and what products are they working on?

Eye Electronics? Not to sure what that exactly is referencing to. But ultimatley in the Enterprise section, they talk about SDK's and libraries. I wonder what exactly Sammy is going to them for, it could be something big or mundane.

Sammy bought SI Electronics from SEGA in 2001 after SEGA cancelled the Dreamcast and left the consumer hardware business. Thus they no longer needed them.

Sammy at around this time was looking for rapid expansion in the technology sector and they even set up Sammy NEWS (New Entertainment World of Sammy) business, which focused on new technology sectors.

Sammy was after rapid expansion into other businesses and so was SEGA and as both companies were so much like siblings anyway in 2004 both SEGA Corp and Sammy Corp merged into SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS INC.

By default SI Electronics was back home. A subsidiary among 25 other subsidiaries of the SEGA SAMMY Group.
