Deposition system for Anti-reflection and Anti-fingerprint
By combining a sputtered cathode designed by Kanadevia and the vacuum deposition method which we cultivated during the development of organic EL film deposition equipment, we provide equipment used to achieve integrated film formation in the same equipment from the formation of antireflection layer to antifouling layer, thus maximizing production efficiency.
- *Anti-reflection film (AR film) is a coating intended to prevent the glare and reflection of light.
- *Anti-finger print (AFP film) is a coating that prevents fingerprints from sticking and makes it easier to wipe off fingerprints. (Generally applied on top of AR film)
The outermost surface of a display equipped with a touch panel must be resistant to fingerprints and dirt, easy to wipe clean, and resistant to scratches even when operated frequently. Satisfying these requirements was difficult when using the conventional wet coating method. However, the outermost surface (AFP film) formed by our vacuum deposition method maintains anti-finger print performance for a long time while also achieving high sliding durability. Moreover, high productivity is maintained through the roll-to-roll process.

HARD-F Series
Features
This device continuously deposits AP film and AFP film on a flexible base.
- Continuous film formation is made possible by providing a differential pressure adjustment mechanism for processes with different operating vacuum degrees of sputtering and vacuum deposition.
- The AR film uses a proprietarily designed rotary cathode, which enables long-term, high-power film formation.
- By adopting a proprietarily designed nozzle-type linear source for the AFP film, we achieve both high efficiency of material utilization and highly uniform thickness during film formation.
- By adopting a proprietarily designed valve mechanism for the AFP film, we realize the following advantages: 1) Maintain a stable vapor deposition rate, 2) Close off during non-evaporation, 3) Replace material during vapor deposition, and 4) Enable vapor deposition of liquid material.
