For optimal legibility of letters, we not only researched size and contrast of the letters, but the fonts themselves. Through global research, validation by senior users, and expert interviews, we identified four elements that constitute a good font: visibility, recognizability, legibility, and good design. We collaborated with a type foundry, Iwata Co., Ltd., and developed the world's first Universal Design font in 2006. This font is used for all operation panels on Panasonic products. In 2008, the font was used as the brand logo for Panasonic Group.

In a collaboration with non-profit organization, CUDO (Color Universal Design Organization), we analyzed colors that can easily be distingueished by those with difficulties differentiating between red and green hues. The results are used on VIERA and DIGA’s remote control color buttons and on program guides. We acquired the CUDO’s Color Universal Design Certification, which is only given to products that have met their standards.
Color Universal Design was implemented in 2007.

By linking with home electronics that support IoT, other speaker-equipped home electronics such as televisions can be used to provide information such as when washing machines or cooking have finished, or when the room temperature rises, for example. They can also provide voice notifications of things that are easy to forget, like garbage disposal dates or when to take medication, if programmed in advance. This provides support for each person to live a comfortable life in their own way.
