Co-creation proposal! Added 'Space × Optical Films' as a technology trend keyword.

It is an optical filter that cuts ultraviolet and infrared light while having a high transmittance in the visible light range.

A UV-IR cut filter is a filter that cuts light in the ultraviolet and infrared regions while having a high transmission rate in the visible light region. In other words, it is an optical filter that simultaneously realizes the characteristics of both a UV cut filter and an IR cut filter. By placing it in front of CMOS sensors or CCD sensors, it serves multiple roles such as cutting noise light, providing heat protection against various light sources, and preventing degradation of liquid crystal components due to ultraviolet light. It is an excellent optical filter and optical thin film with multiple functions. Are you facing any of these issues? - Is it possible to cut both ultraviolet and near-infrared light? - Can a filter be made that allows visible light to pass while blocking IR and UV wavelengths? - I want to reduce noise light and increase sensor sensitivity. Can I consult about this? - Is it possible to customize the wavelength range that I want to transmit? - Is processing to chip size possible?

It is an optical thin-film filter that reduces the reflectance at specific wavelengths and improves transmittance. By increasing the amount of light, it contributes to energy saving and power reduction.

Light reflects at the boundary surface with air, causing 4% reflection on one side and 8% reflection on both sides of the glass, resulting in a reflection of one's own image. An anti-reflective coating (AR = Anti Reflection Coating) is an optical thin film that utilizes the principle of interference by alternately depositing dielectrics with different refractive indices, reducing the reflectance of specific wavelengths and improving transmittance. Are you facing any of these issues? - Want to reduce reflections and ghosting in window materials? - Is there a way to improve visibility and achieve clearer image quality? - Looking to reduce internal reflections and prevent flare? - Want to increase light levels to contribute to energy savings? - Can we design an anti-reflective coating (AR) that takes the angle of incidence into account?

It is a high light-transmitting ITO coating that combines an ITO film (transparent conductive film) with a dielectric multilayer anti-reflective film. It prevents condensation while allowing high transmission.

- Achieving both excellent transparency characteristics and static electricity prevention functions with ITO. We can apply anti-reflective coating that is most suitable for the wavelength range according to your desired specifications. Furthermore, we can also coat metals such as aluminum or nickel on top of the ITO film with good adhesion, making it suitable for sensors that require electrodes on the glass surface. Are you facing any of these issues? - Can you coat a film that allows both light and electricity to pass through simultaneously? - Is it possible to apply anti-reflective functionality? - Can pattern processing be done after coating with ITO? - Is it possible to focus on resistance value in the coating?

It is a filter that efficiently cuts (reflects) short-wavelength UV (ultraviolet) light while allowing visible light to pass through.

What is a UV cut filter (ultraviolet cut filter)? It is a filter that cuts ultraviolet (UV) light while allowing visible light to pass through. In digital cameras, it is used to reduce chromatic aberration, and in liquid crystal projectors, it is used to prevent the degradation of liquid crystals and other optical components caused by the light from lamps (such as high-pressure mercury lamps), with the aim of cutting unnecessary ultraviolet light. Are you facing any of these issues? ◆ Is it possible to cut only the wavelength of ultraviolet light? ◆ Can a UV cut filter for projectors be coated? ◆ I would like to consult about the degradation of optical components. ◆ I would like to consult about filters that minimize the impact on the human body. ◆ Is it possible to custom adjust the wavelength range that I want to transmit?

It is a dielectric multilayer film filter that transmits visible light and reflects near-infrared light.

It is used as a near-infrared cut filter that adversely affects CCD devices such as video cameras. The optical characteristics, such as the wavelength position with a transmittance of 50%, transmittance, and cut wavelength band, can be set arbitrarily. (Are you facing such challenges?) Is it possible to cut only the wavelength of near-infrared light? I want to allow visible light to pass while blocking IR wavelengths. I want to suppress light that causes noise and increase the sensitivity of the sensor. Can the wavelength range I want to transmit be custom adjusted? Is it possible to process it to chip size?

It achieves excellent ultraviolet transmission rates and can be adapted to the light sources you plan to use (such as high-pressure mercury lamps, various laser lights, UV LEDs, etc.).

Are you facing any of these issues? - I want to reduce reflection in the ultraviolet (UV-A) range. - I want to increase the transmittance at wavelengths that react with initiators, such as 365nm and 405nm. - I've heard that the UV range has a thin film thickness and is difficult to control... - I've heard that the substrates and film materials are limited; can you accommodate that? - I've heard that the measurement difficulty after film formation is high; can you handle that? ◆ We achieve excellent ultraviolet transmittance! By depositing multilayer dielectric films, we prevent light reflection from both sides of the substrate. Based on our achievements in visible light, we can also achieve high transmittance in the ultraviolet wavelength range by controlling the film formation process. However, the substrates that can be used for film formation are limited, so prior confirmation is necessary. By utilizing the characteristics of the substrates you will use and designing accordingly, we will realize the optimal filter.

The Hyper CLT flooring is not only used on-site but also aims for further performance improvements through industry-academia collaboration with universities. To utilize wood in outdoor civil engineering sites, it is important to verify various challenges such as durability and water resistance. Therefore, Kaitaku Co., Ltd. continues research and development in collaboration with various universities. The goal is to connect research results to actual product improvements and new applications, evolving into more user-friendly and high-value wooden flooring. The Hyper CLT flooring is registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under the NETIS technology "TH-250021-A." In addition to this NETIS registration achievement, research and development through industry-academia collaboration is ongoing. By combining the technologies of wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and universities, the Hyper CLT flooring further expands the possibilities of new civil engineering CLT.

In public works, not only construction quality but also safety measures, environmental considerations, and unique site-specific innovations are important. One proposal that is easy to suggest is the civil engineering CLT "Hyper CLT Mats" utilizing wood. These can be used for temporary roads, access routes, worker pathways, and material yards, improving the site environment from a different perspective than steel plates. It is also characterized by the ease of explaining the purpose of implementation to clients, such as measures against summer heat reflection, noise reduction, CO2 fixation, and consideration for the landscape. Furthermore, being a **NETIS registered technology "TH-250021-A"** by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is a significant point when proposing in public works. It can be considered as one of the new technology applications and creative innovations. Clearly communicating "why this material is used" is also important when making proposals to government offices. The Hyper CLT Mats, which combine wood, NETIS, and civil engineering, are expanding their use in public works as a new civil engineering material that balances practicality and environmental consideration.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs often change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which constantly carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
