As an innovative benchmark in Danyang's lens export sector, Ideal Optical's jointly developed X6 super anti-reflection coating, with its core six-layer nanoscale coating structure, achieves a revolutionary breakthrough in lens performance through the deep integration of materials science and optical engineering. Its structural features can be broken down into the following three dimensions:
I. Gradient Anti-reflective Structure: 6-layer coating, "zero reflection" across the entire wavelength range
The X6 coating employs a "6-layer gradient anti-reflective design," with each layer's thickness precisely measured to the nanometer level. Through the alternating layering of materials with different refractive indices, it forms a full-coverage anti-reflective layer covering the visible light band (380nm-780nm):
Coatings 1-2: Basic buffer coating, using low-refractive-index silicon oxide material to improve the adhesion between the coating and the lens substrate, while initially reducing light reflection;
Coatings 3-4: Core anti-reflective coating, alternately deposited
with high-refractive-index titanium oxide and low-refractive-index magnesium fluoride. Through the change in refractive index, light reflection is gradually reduced, decreasing the reflectivity from 2%-3% of traditional coatings to below 0.1%;
Coatings 5-6: Superhydrophobic and oleophobic coating, with a fluoride molecular film covering the surface, forming a molecular-level protective barrier to prevent fingerprints and oil stains from adhering, while also enhancing the coating's abrasion resistance. Tests show that its abrasion resistance is 3 times higher than that of traditional coatings.
Performance Verification: Certified by the National Optical Testing Center, the X6-coated lens has a reflectivity of only 0.08%, a 92% reduction compared to traditional anti-reflective coatings. Even in strong light conditions such as backlighting and nighttime driving, it provides a clear, "unobstructed" view.
II. Functional Integration: Anti-reflection, Protection, and Durability in One
The innovation of the X6 coating lies not only in the number of coatings but also in the precise positioning and synergy of each coating's function:
Synergistic Anti-reflection and Protection: The fluoride molecular film in coatings 5 and 6 achieves superhydrophobicity and oleophobicity while further reducing diffuse
reflection of light on the lens surface through a nanoscale texture design, avoiding the increased reflectivity issues that may arise from traditional anti-fouling coatings;
Enhanced Durability: The 4th titanium dioxide coating, formed through ion beam-assisted deposition technology, forms a dense structure that effectively resists wear and tear caused by daily wiping and cleaning. In simulated daily use tests, after 5000 consecutive wipes, the reflectivity of the X6-coating lens only increased by 0.02%, maintaining its original performance.
III. Application Scenarios: Comprehensive Coverage from Everyday Wear to Extreme Environments
The structural characteristics of the X6 coating enable it to meet diverse needs in various scenarios:
Everyday Wear: Ultra-low reflectivity of 0.1% eliminates glare interference under strong light, improving visual clarity;
Outdoor Sports: The superhydrophobic and oleophobic layers work synergistically with the abrasion-resistant layer to resist sweat and dust erosion, extending lens lifespan;
Professional Fields: In scenarios with extremely high visual requirements, such as driving and photography, the X6 coating minimizes light interference, ensuring visual accuracy.
The six-layer precision structure of the X6 coating is an epitome of Ideal Optical's "technology-driven" strategy. From material selection to coating processes, from structural design to performance testing, every step embodies the team's pursuit of "ultimate clarity." In the future, we will continue to optimize coating technology, bringing clearer and more durable visual solutions to global users, allowing the world to see the innovative power of China's optical industry through Ideal Optical.
