Introduction to LUSHADE® BLACK
ISHIHARA SANGYO KAISHA, LTD. has recently announced the large-scale production of its latest innovation,
LUSHADE® BLACK. This extraordinary pigment demonstrates remarkable optical properties, absorbing more than
99.0% of visible light, thus establishing itself as a groundbreaking advancement in pigmentation technology. The company is now poised to introduce this innovative product to the global market.
Unique Characteristics
LUSHADE® BLACK is a structural black pigment made from bismuth sulfide, possessing a complex surface structure reminiscent of sea urchin spines. This unique architecture enables the pigment to achieve an extremely low reflectance level, making it an ideal candidate for various applications where light absorption is paramount. This pigment not only excels in absorbing visible light but also reflects infrared light, enhancing its versatility in specific coatings.
Infrared Reflectivity
One of the key advantages of LUSHADE® BLACK is its infrared reflectivity feature. When applied in coatings, it not only absorbs visible light but also helps reflect infrared radiation. This property can effectively mitigate surface temperature rise, making it suitable for applications where thermal management is crucial.
Practical Applications
Due to its unique characteristics, LUSHADE® BLACK is expected to find utility in various advanced sectors, including:
1. Optical Lens Coatings
The pigment’s low reflectance can be harnessed to coat the edges of optical lenses. This helps suppress diffuse light, improving optical performance significantly, and contributing to clearer image quality.
2. Camera Module Interiors
In camera modules, applying LUSHADE® BLACK can drastically reduce internal reflections. This reduction promotes sharper and clearer images, which is particularly beneficial for high-quality imaging devices.
3. Infrared Reflective Coatings
LUSHADE® BLACK is ideally suited for use in black infrared reflective coatings for devices such as LiDAR systems and others reliant on infrared technology. Additionally, its ability to suppress temperature rise enhances the performance of coated surfaces by minimizing heat buildup, ensuring operational efficiency.
Conclusion
With its potential applications across various industries, LUSHADE® BLACK is anticipated to become a critical material supporting next-generation optical technologies. For additional information regarding this innovative pigment, ISHIHARA SANGYO has launched a dedicated website detailing its specifications and uses. This marks a significant milestone not just for ISHIHARA SANGYO but for the field of material science.
