The excellent image quality achievable with today’s high-definition Smartphone cameras is a result of careful design of the entire optical path in the built-in camera modules.
Materion Balzers Optics' anti-reflective and black absorber coatings are an essential tool for optical designers to reduce unwanted reflections and ghost images inside the camera optics to achieve best imaging quality as a result.
Our proven IralinTM multi-layer AR coating is the ideal solution to improve the efficiency of the camera modules by thin-film deposition on e.g. camera cover glasses, lenses or any other surface inside the optical path that creates unwanted reflections.
With our metallic mirror coatings with its superior surface properties for imaging applications we also facilitate the build of recently introduced periscope-style telephoto lenses that bring real optical zoom functionality into Smartphone cameras. High-reflective AlflexTM or SilflexTM mirror coatings can be deposited for this purpose on the faces of the space-saving folded optics of the zoom lens.
