800nm short pass filter - selectively transmits light below a specific wavelength.

In recent years, technological innovations in the agricultural sector have significantly shifted from traditional biological approaches such as soil improvement and breeding to an engineering concept of "designing the environment itself." Particularly noteworthy is smart agriculture, which integrates precise control of light environments with sensing technology. Plant growth is complexly determined not only by light intensity but also by wavelength distribution, angle of incidence, temporal variations, and interactions with surrounding temperatures. In other words, agriculture can essentially be described as "the science of spectral control." In this context, optical thin films and optical filters play an extremely important role. Optical thin films are functional materials that allow for precise design of reflectivity, transmittance, absorbance, and interference characteristics through control of film thickness on the nanometer scale. By using multilayer interference structures, it is possible to selectively transmit and reflect specific wavelengths, which directly contributes to optimizing effective light for photosynthesis in plants and controlling unwanted infrared and ultraviolet light.

Sports are constantly evolving. The lightweighting of equipment, the high-strength of materials, form optimization through data analysis, and the high functionality of apparel—technological innovations for improving competitive performance are now spreading not only among top athletes but also across all sporting environments. In recent years, advancements in sensor technology and AI analysis have significantly shifted sports from "sensation" to "science." However, what underpins this transformation is, in fact, "light." Visibility, tracking, sensing, and presentation—all these aspects utilize light information, and it is optical thin film technology that influences their accuracy and comfort. Now, this "technology that controls light" is poised to unlock new possibilities in sports. It is not just a simple coating; it is an advanced spectral design technology that selects wavelengths, controls reflection, and blocks unwanted light. This technology enhances athletes' decision-making abilities, improves sensor accuracy, and serves as a foundational technology for optimizing the competitive environment itself. ◆ Enhancing athlete performance × Optical thin films ◆ Data sports × Optical filters ◆ Integration with biosensing ◆ Towards future sports devices For more details, please check our company website.

The 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo is a grand stage where cutting-edge technologies and cultures from around the world intersect. In particular, the pavilions of Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Oman resemble a miniature future city, showcasing advanced architecture, smart energy, and AI-controlled urban infrastructure, allowing visitors to experience "future urban living." These Middle Eastern countries are actively promoting sustainable urban development and smart city initiatives, with significant expectations for industrial revitalization. Optical filters and thin-film technology can be applied across a wide range of fields, including renewable energy facilities, transportation infrastructure, healthcare, and security. Adachi New Industries aims to support the technological foundation of these future cities and contribute to industrial innovation on a global scale. 【1】 Experiencing the Future City at the Kansai Expo 【2】 The Role of Optical Thin Films in the Revitalization of Middle Eastern Industries 【3】 The Vision of Future Cities Shaped by Optical Technology 【4】 A Bridge of Friendship Through Optical Filters.

At the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, under the theme "Designing a Future Society Where Life Shines," various cutting-edge technologies, including space development, will be showcased. Several exhibits, including the "American Pavilion" and the "Gundam Pavilion," will focus on the theme of "space," allowing visitors to experience the presence of extraterrestrial worlds. These presentations go beyond mere entertainment and are deeply connected to the ongoing trends in space exploration and the space industry. Current space development is expanding beyond traditional satellite and probe operations to include a variety of missions such as deep space exploration, lunar base construction, manned missions to Mars, space resource mining, and space solar power generation. Many of these plans require optical technologies that can precisely control light across a wide range of wavelengths, including visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared. Among these, optical thin films are foundational technologies that support observational instruments, communication devices, and energy utilization systems.
