Half mirror - Excellent track record with FA sensors (photoelectric sensors)!

Modern advanced technology relies on precisely manipulating parameters such as the wavelength, direction, and intensity of light. At the center of this light control is the optical mirror. The basic function of an optical mirror is to reflect incident light in a specific direction with high efficiency, but it goes beyond being just a reflective surface. Depending on the application, advanced optical performance is required, such as "which wavelengths to reflect or transmit," "how much reflectivity to achieve," and "how accurately to focus and form images." - The role and importance of optical mirrors - The two main types of mirrors: metallic mirrors and dielectric mirrors - Metallic mirrors: basics and characteristics of reflection - Dielectric mirrors: technologies that achieve high reflectivity - Comparison table: contrast between metallic mirrors and dielectric mirrors - Specific examples of differentiation based on applications - Summary and outlook: the importance of technology selection and contributions to industry For more details, please visit our company website.

The UV-IR cut filter is an optical thin-film filter that selectively removes unwanted light in the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) wavelength ranges, allowing only specific wavelength bands of light to be transmitted or reflected with high precision. This filter achieves wavelength selectivity by utilizing interference effects through the precise layering of multilayer dielectric films and metal films. Generally, it requires control of film thickness on the order of nanometers, exceeding several tens to over a hundred layers, and its optical properties are determined by multiple parameters such as film thickness accuracy, refractive index of the film material, smoothness of the film interfaces, and adhesion of the films. 1) What is a UV-IR cut filter? 2) Historical background of UV-IR filter manufacturing in Japan 3) Why has overseas manufacturing of UV-IR cut filters progressed? 4) If UV-IR cut filters were to be produced again in Japan... necessary points (hypothesis) 5) Technically important points when selecting UV-IR cut filters 6) Future prospects Conclusion - The efforts of Adachi New Industry Co., Ltd. to focus on domestic production in Japan For more details, please visit our company website.

There are surprisingly many situations around us where half mirrors, which look like mirrors but actually allow light to pass through, are used. For example, they are essential optical components in smartphone facial recognition and car head-up displays. Half mirrors play a role in skillfully reflecting and transmitting light, delivering images and information more conveniently and precisely. This time, we have summarized the mechanism of half mirrors, their uses, and the future evolution of technology in an easy-to-understand manner that can be grasped in five minutes. 【1】What is a half mirror? 【2】Difference between half mirrors and magic mirrors 【3】Structure of half mirrors 【4】Applications of half mirrors 【5】Points to consider when selecting half mirrors 【6】Future prospects of half mirrors For more details, please visit our company website.

At the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, cutting-edge technology and cultural expression were beautifully integrated, with projector technology fully utilized to stimulate the senses of visitors. Immersive video presentations and interactive exhibition experiences, both inside and outside the pavilions, were made possible through projection with high brightness, high resolution, and wide color gamut. It may be a bit late to say this, but from the perspective of "Could projectors hold the key to future visual expression?", I have summarized the optical components used in projectors in a way that can be understood in five minutes. Please feel free to read on. 【1】Changes in the projector market 【2】Comparison of LCD, DLP, and LCOS 【3】General optical structure of projectors 【4】Types and specifications of optical filters for projectors 【5】Future trends in projectors and the position of Japanese thin-film manufacturers Conclusion - Nevertheless, Adachi New Industry is committed to domestic production For more details, please visit our company website.
