Manipulating light to innovate observation and analysis in outer space.
In the field of space optics, high-precision light control is required under harsh environmental conditions. Particularly in space telescopes and optical instruments mounted on satellites, it is important to minimize the effects of temperature changes and radiation while performing accurate polarization control and phase control of light. Conventional optical elements may face challenges related to size and weight increase, potentially reducing operational efficiency in space. Our liquid crystal optical element products are ultra-compact and thin, yet achieve high optical performance, contributing to the enhancement of space optical instruments. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Space telescopes - Optical instruments mounted on satellites - Optical systems for space exploration 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Improved mounting efficiency through miniaturization and weight reduction - Enhanced observation performance through high-precision light control - High durability under harsh environmental conditions

Company information
The area where Citizen Fine Devices demonstrates its strength is in the realm of functional components that require small size, precision, high accuracy, and high detail. We believe that our mission is to continue providing high-value-added microdevice products by leveraging the unique technologies we have developed over many years. Utilizing metal processing technology rooted in watch manufacturing, we have consistently supplied small, high-precision components to our customers for many years through a fully integrated production line that encompasses process design, machining, assembly, and functional testing, along with the unique development of our own processing machines. Additionally, mass-producing components with high precision and efficiency using brittle materials is also one of our core technologies. By integrating material technology with ultra-precision machining, thin-film technology, and bonding technology, we produce not only high-precision components such as ceramics and quartz but also high-quality functional device products like liquid crystal devices and sensing devices. Continuing to provide high-value-added products to the market is a significant dream for our employees. We will contribute to the creation of new value through manufacturing driven by the challenge spirit of each individual, working towards the realization of that dream.
