ITO deposition processing with anti-reflective film: It is a filter that transmits light and electricity.

Labor shortages, the expansion of the EC market, and the diversification of small lot production— the logistics and warehousing industry is currently undergoing digital transformation (DX) at an unprecedented pace. Supporting the next-generation logistics known as "smart logistics" are optical components that work behind the scenes, such as automated guided vehicles (AGV/AMR), automatic sorting systems using image recognition, barcode and QR code scanners, and picking robots with 3D vision. If sensors and cameras cannot accurately recognize objects, no matter how advanced the control algorithms or AI are, the overall performance of the system will not be realized. The technologies that underpin recognition accuracy, response speed, and durability are optical thin films (coatings) and patterning processing.

The home appliance and gadget industry is currently at a significant turning point. With the advent of IoT, all devices are now equipped with sensors and cameras, new wearable devices such as AR/VR devices and smart glasses are being launched into the market one after another, and smart home devices commonly come with displays and touch panels. Supporting the high functionality and added value of these products behind the scenes are optical thin film and patterning processing technologies. Suppressing lens reflections, optimizing sensor sensitivity, making fingerprints and dirt less likely to adhere, allowing current to flow while transmitting light through transparent conductive films—these are all achieved by forming functional thin films on the substrate surface at the nanometer scale and sometimes creating fine patterns. Trend 1: Miniaturization and high definition of sensor windows and optical thin films Trend 2: AR/VR, smart glasses, and anti-reflective and anti-fouling coatings Trend 3: Smart home devices and anti-fog, antibacterial, and self-cleaning functional films Trend 4: Integration of touch panels, transparent electrodes, and patterning processing The value that expert coatings can provide For more details, please visit our company website.

Outer space is the most challenging and promising field for optical thin films. Environmental factors that are completely different from those on the ground—vacuum ultraviolet, high-energy particles, extreme thermal cycles, atomic oxygen—simultaneously pose threats to the thin films, while it is precisely these films that maintain the accuracy of sensing, communication, and observation. As the trend of New Space accelerates, the scenarios in which optical thin films influence the competitiveness of space development are increasing. We aspire to be more than just a "coating manufacturer"; we want to be partners who think together from the very beginning of development. It is perfectly fine if the requirements are not yet solidified or if we are still in the preliminary stages of specifications. We hope this can serve as a starting point for dialogue with engineers working on space products.

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.
