Optically controlled black ink product lineup

This website uses automated machine translation. Please note that translations may not be fully accurate and may differ from the original Japanese text.

We introduce three types of black inks that excel in optical control.
We offer a lineup of low-reflectance black inks achieving reflectivity below 1%, infrared transmission black inks that combine high blocking in the visible light range and high transmittance in the near-infrared range, and light-blocking black inks that achieve high light-blocking performance in thin films.

Low-Reflection Black Ink SS MATT911

This black ink achieves a reflectivity of less than 1%.
Enables more precise control of ghost flare.
By blocking light from the lens and suppressing stray light, it contributes to improving image quality.

Applications

  • Camera Module
  • Optical sensor peripheral components
  • Absorption of External Light

Features

  • Balancing light-blocking and anti-stray light
  • Compatible with various printing methods
  • Excellent substrate adhesion, solvent resistance, and alkali resistance

Infrared Transmission Black Ink SV SSIPBLACK

This black ink combines high shielding in the visible light range and high transmittance in the near-infrared range.
By varying ink thickness and concentration, flexible optical control is possible according to your application, enabling high-precision wavelength control in the near-infrared region of infrared cameras and sensors.

Applications

  • Blindfolding sensors such as LiDAR
  • Infrared camera blindfold

Features

  • High Transmittance in the Near-Infrared Region
  • High shielding and excellent weather resistance in the visible light range
Eligible Products OD value Total light transmittance

Green (OD Value Adjustment Product 1) 1.43 98.0% 98.3%
Orange (OD Value Adjustment Product 2) 2.34 97.7% 97.9%
Yellow (OD Value Adjustment Product 3) 3.26 95.6% 96.0%

We evaluate three patterns with different OD values due to differences in film thickness caused by mesh differences during screen printing.
