Anti-reflective film (AR) allows more visible light to pass through. [Free initial design]

In the world of architecture and interior design, the "experiential value of space itself" is beginning to change significantly. Until now, the performance expected from building materials focused primarily on basic functions such as strength, weather resistance, thermal insulation, and workability. However, in recent years, in addition to these, the "sensory value of how one feels in that space" and "the impression it gives" have become increasingly important. 1. The changing value of "light" in the architecture and interior design fields 2. The potential of optical thin films in architectural spaces 2-1. Development towards high-performance glass 2-2. Integration with virtual space production and transparent displays 2-3. Adding functionality to interior materials 3. Sensing and optical design required in the era of smart architecture 4. The importance of "co-creation" in the architecture and interior design fields Summary: Optical thin films are a technology for designing the "future of space." A new era is beginning where new architectural values are emerging by crossing previously separate technological domains. Adachi New Industry Co., Ltd.'s "Takumi Coating" proposes new possibilities for co-creation in the architecture and interior design fields through optical thin films and patterning processing.

Even in the current era of accelerating digitalization, stationery and office supplies remain indispensable to our work and learning. Not only traditional products like notebooks and writing instruments, but also electronic whiteboards, tablet devices, conference systems, digital signage, and authentication cards are becoming increasingly advanced in office spaces year by year. In particular, recent market changes such as hybrid work, the ICT transformation in education, the development of smart offices, enhanced information security, and the introduction of sensing technologies have made "visibility," "usability," and "information reading accuracy" significantly influence product value. Among these, the technology for "controlling light" has begun to attract attention. 01: Stationery and office supplies are becoming "information devices." 02: AR coatings change "visibility" and "ease of work." 03: The evolution of digital stationery and sensing technology. 04: New possibilities for "attractive stationery" and optical thin films. Summary: The next stationery and office supplies will be differentiated by "light." For more details, please visit our company website.

The areas where drones are active are rapidly expanding from surveying, infrastructure inspection, agriculture, logistics, and disaster prevention to defense and security fields in recent years. In addition to the demand for high-precision sensing in the private sector, the requirements for optical systems mounted on drones are becoming increasingly stringent in defense applications such as border surveillance, information gathering, search and rescue, and unmanned operational support. While the miniaturization and weight reduction of the aircraft are progressing, the proposition of "obtaining more precise information in harsher environments" remains unchanged. One key to solving this contradiction is optical thin film technology. Optical thin films, which control the reflection, transmission, and blocking of light at the nanometer level, are a technology that fundamentally enhances the performance of mounted sensors across the visible light, near-infrared, and thermal infrared ranges. We will introduce the role that optical thin films play in drone development from the perspectives of industry, agriculture, and defense. 1. What are optical thin films? — Basic knowledge for drone developers 2. By field: The roles played by optical thin films 3. Featured technology: 8-14μm band infrared AR coating 4. Quick reference table for utilization images by development phase 5. Proposal for co-creation — Let's start together from a prototype For more details, please refer to our company website.

A technology that simultaneously imparts conductivity and near-infrared optical properties to rigid resin optical components. In recent years, with the proliferation of automotive LiDAR and various infrared sensors, the demand for optical components that achieve both high transmittance and low reflectance in the 905nm band has rapidly increased. Especially in sensing using ToF methods or pulsed lasers, even slight reflection losses or scattering directly affect detection accuracy, making wavelength-specific optical design essential. On the other hand, the cover materials that protect these sensors from external environments require specific characteristics of resin materials, such as mechanical strength, impact resistance, dimensional stability against temperature changes, processability, and suitability for mass production, making the coexistence of optical and mechanical properties a significant design challenge. At Adachi New Industries, we have established a composite thin-film process that combines the acrylic resin material "Alonix Sheet" from Toa Gosei Co., Ltd. with the following.
