Sputtering Targets for Optical Films to control Refractive index
Our materials for multilayer films, used to form Blue-ray Discs, DVDs, and other optical discs, are widely used in Japan and the rest of the world. Drawing on our R&D accomplishments, we provide sputtering targets for various uses, adjusting their properties to match customer requirements in such areas as refractive index, transparency, environmental resistance, amorphous stability, high sputtering rate, thermal conductivity, and low resistivity. Lately, the technology we have developed over the years for optical disc materials is being expanded to various other optical devices, including OLED displays and optical films.
