Light-Shielding Material PHOTOBLACK™
PHOTOBLACK™ is a black coating material that has light-shielding properties and excellent high reliability through nano-dispersion of pigment. As a decorative ink for all cover glass, it is used in applications that require high levels of reliability, such as smartphones, laptops, automotive displays, and wearable devices.
Using our proprietary design pigment makes it possible to adjust reflected tones and transmit specific wavelengths. This enables a seamless connection between the display viewing area and frame, and makes it possible to conceal the IR sensor.
Also, by combination with inkjet or spray coating technologies, it is possible to decorate curved glass.
Features
- In addition to our proprietary polymer technology and pigment design technology, fusion with nano dispersion technology provides high performance.
- Proven performance in a wide range of applications, typically in smartphones tablets, and automobile monitors.
- In addition to standard slit coating, various coating methods such as inkjet and spray are also supported.
