Information on standard stock items (optical filters)

In recent years, the demand for comb-type electrodes has been expanding due to advancements in sensor technology and the proliferation of IoT devices. Comb-type electrodes have a structure where multiple electrode fingers are arranged alternately like the teeth of a comb, allowing for the highly sensitive detection of minute changes in electrical characteristics. They are utilized in a wide range of fields, including gas sensors, humidity sensors, biosensors, and materials evaluation substrates. There is an increasing demand for miniaturization and high sensitivity in sensing targets, leading to a growing need for high-precision patterning technologies that can refine electrode width and spacing. We will also introduce the basic principles of comb-type electrodes, their applications, design points, the advantages of using standard stock items, and the possibilities of custom patterning for research and development purposes. Chapter 1: Structure and Basic Principles of Comb-Type Electrodes Chapter 2: Applications and Market Trends of Comb-Type Electrodes Chapter 3: Advantages of Utilizing Standard Stock Comb-Type Electrodes Chapter 4: Important Pattern Specifications in Comb-Type Electrode Design Chapter 5: Manufacturing Technologies and Custom Patterning of Comb-Type Electrodes Summary At Adachi New Industries, in addition to providing standard stock comb-type electrodes, we also support various custom patterning processes through thin film formation and photolithography.

In recent years, the adoption of near-infrared sensing technology has rapidly expanded across a wide range of fields, including autonomous driving, industrial robots, smartphones, and medical devices. Applications such as spatial recognition using onboard LiDAR and TOF sensors, wearable devices for facial recognition and biometric measurement, and non-invasive medical applications using light are all reaching practical implementation and widespread use, leading to an increasing demand for optical components that support these technologies year by year. Among these, the "bandpass filter," which selectively transmits only specific wavelengths, is becoming increasingly important in development environments as a key component that affects the accuracy and reliability of sensors. At Adachi New Industry Co., Ltd., we offer a standard inventory of near-infrared bandpass filters ranging from 660nm to 940nm to meet these diverse needs. Chapter 1: Why are red to near-infrared bandpass filters attracting attention now? Chapter 2: Basics of bandpass filters and the characteristics of "near-infrared" Chapter 3: Detailed explanation of use cases by wavelength: Roles and market trends from 660 to 940nm Chapter 4: Introduction of standard inventory: A ready-to-use lineup of six wavelengths Chapter 5: Custom design support: Optimal filters tailored for customers Conclusion: The future opened up by near-infrared bandpass filters

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.

In recent years, the boundary between beauty and technology has begun to rapidly dissolve. The demand for at-home skincare devices continues to expand globally, with some areas, such as light-based treatment devices (phototherapy), recording growth of over 20% year-on-year as of 2024. These products offer more than just simple "apply and layer" beauty. They provide an experience that precisely delivers physical energies such as light, heat, electric currents, and sound waves to the skin. Let’s pose a question. "What exactly is controlling that light?" One answer lies in optical thin-film technology. Invisible nanometer-scale films quietly but decisively influence the performance of beauty devices. This article will explore the role and potential of optical thin films in the beauty tech field from the perspective of product development and engineering. 1: What is optical thin film? 2: Scenes of optical thin film utilization in beauty tech 3: Points and precautions during design and adoption 4: Future prospects—The fusion of personalized beauty and optical thin films Summary: "Invisible technology" is changing the beauty experience.
