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

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.

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.
