Functional Dyes
Functional dyes are materials that absorb light across various wavelengths and perform functionalities such as sensitization, photothermal conversion, fluorescence, and circular dichroism.
Product Overview
Our functional dyes consist of two main product groups: "specific wavelength absorption dyes," which absorb specific wavelengths and exhibit functions such as sensitization, photothermal conversion, and fluorescence, and "circular dichroic dyes," which exhibit circular dichroism by driving with liquid crystal molecules together.
"Specific wavelength absorption dyes" are used in various applications such as optical filters, photosensitive products, and diagnostic reagents, according to various functions like specific wavelength absorption, sensitization, photothermal conversion, and fluorescence.
"Circular dichroic dyes" are used in liquid crystal-based dimming devices, polarizing devices, and other similar applications.
Benefit
Leveraging a library of over 10,000 dyes accumulated through more than 70 years of research and development about dye synthesis, we provide high-quality dyes that perform functions tailored to the needs of each application. Additionally, we ensure a stable supply of high-quality products while accommodating the production of small-batch, high-variety products, starting from gram-scale manufacturing.
Features
Specific wavelength absorption dyes
We possess a wide range of dyes that sharply absorb specific wavelengths from the ultraviolet to near-infrared regions (350–1100nm), and we are also capable of adjusting the absorption wavelengths in the nanometer range.
Circular dichroic dyes
We possess dichroism dyes with a high dichroic ratio that correspond to each wavelength in the visible light range (380–700nm). Additionally, we have a lineup of dyes that form black colors by mixing dyes.
