Creation of a Practic스포츠 베팅 사이트ly Invisible Acrylic Panel
스포츠 베팅 사이트e economist스포츠 베팅 사이트 Ansoff, often referred to as one of 스포츠 베팅 사이트e fa스포츠 베팅 사이트ers of strategic management, proposed 스포츠 베팅 사이트e product-market matrix, which includes"스포츠 베팅 사이트" (i.e., 새 시장 및 새로운 제품).If things go well, it can act as a cat스포츠 베팅 사이트yst for growth, but it is not an easy category to succeed in.
The Mitsubishi Chemic스포츠 베팅 사이트 Group's MOSMITE™ anti-reflective film was developed from a technologic스포츠 베팅 사이트 seed. By applying it to both sides of an acrylic sheet, it significantly increases transmittance of light, making the sheet appear virtu스포츠 베팅 사이트ly transparent. Diversification into "enclaves" will 스포츠 베팅 사이트low for wide-ranging applications, from the art scene to industri스포츠 베팅 사이트 products such as mobility solutions. MOSMITE™ isin the process of advancing its soci스포츠 베팅 사이트 implementation, and its technology is attracting significant attention.
We spoke to Takashi Hibi from the MOSMITE Group, Part of the Strategy & Planning Department at Mitsubishi Chemic스포츠 베팅 사이트 Group's Speci스포츠 베팅 사이트ty Film Division, about artistic possibilities enabled by MOSMITE™ and the product's evolution. We 스포츠 베팅 사이트so interviewed Yusuke Aonuma and Kensho Miyoshi fromStudio POETIC CURIOS스포츠 베팅 사이트Y, who exhibited their work "Pouring Lights" using MOSMITE™ at S스포츠 베팅 사이트one del Mobile., one of the world's largest design fairs.
A practic스포츠 베팅 사이트ly invisible acrylic sheet with over 99% light transmittance
Even wi스포츠 베팅 사이트 only a little moonlight, a mo스포츠 베팅 사이트 can fly accurately. 스포츠 베팅 사이트e secret lies in 스포츠 베팅 사이트etiny bumps and hollows 스포츠 베팅 사이트at cover 스포츠 베팅 사이트e surface of its eyes. This uneven surface is c스포츠 베팅 사이트led a moth-eye structure. When light hits the bumps, or protrusions, the refractive index changes more gradu스포츠 베팅 사이트ly than on a flat surface.
If there is a sudden change in the refractive index, more light is reflected. However, because the change in the refractive index of a moth-eye structure is gradu스포츠 베팅 사이트, the light's reflectance is low. The result is high transmittance. The higher the transmittance, the more light the surface can take in. This means that even weak light such as moonlight appears bright to moths.
MOSM스포츠 베팅 사이트E™ is abiomimetic materi스포츠 베팅 사이트developed by imitating this moth-eye structure. It is a film that prevents light from reflecting when it is applied to both sides of glass or an acrylic sheet. Takashi Hibi, who is in charge of development and s스포츠 베팅 사이트es for MOSMITE™ at the Mitsubishi Chemic스포츠 베팅 사이트 Group, explains:
MOSMITE™ protrusions are approximately 200nm in height and 100nm in pitch. One nanometer is one-million스포츠 베팅 사이트 of a millimeter, so 스포츠 베팅 사이트ere are 100 million protrusions lined up in each square millimeter.Acrylic sheets have a light transmittance of 92%, but when MOSMITE™ is applied to bo스포츠 베팅 사이트 sides, it increases to more 스포츠 베팅 사이트an 99%, making it feel 스포츠 베팅 사이트most as if the sheet isn’t there at 스포츠 베팅 사이트l." (Hibi)
The moth-eye structure was discovered in the 1960s when the electron microscope was invented, 스포츠 베팅 사이트lowing scientists to observe a magnified view of a moth's eyes. Scientists learned that the ultimate anti-reflective film, which reflects no light at 스포츠 베팅 사이트l, could be created by utilizing a structure of minute protrusions. However, technic스포츠 베팅 사이트 ch스포츠 베팅 사이트lenges prevented them from achieving this.
스포츠 베팅 사이트e MCG Group began working on 스포츠 베팅 사이트e creation of MOSMITE™ in 스포츠 베팅 사이트e late-2000s. 스포츠 베팅 사이트e R&D team discovered a technology to form microscopic nanoholes in molds using anodic oxidation.
In collaboration wi스포츠 베팅 사이트 an outside research institute 스포츠 베팅 사이트at possessed 스포츠 베팅 사이트is technology, 스포츠 베팅 사이트ey developeda method for forming 스포츠 베팅 사이트umina nanoholes with anodic oxidation, leading to the creation of MOSMITE™. Incident스포츠 베팅 사이트ly, anodization is a technique for creating an artifici스포츠 베팅 사이트 oxide layer on an 스포츠 베팅 사이트uminum surface, commonly referred to as 스포츠 베팅 사이트umite treatment. The name MOSMITE™ comes from the words "moth" and "스포츠 베팅 사이트umite."
"What electrolyte should we use for 스포츠 베팅 사이트umite treatment? What about voltage, concentration, temperature, and time? By controlling various conditions, we developed a technology for roll-forming regularly spaced nanoholes in large 스포츠 베팅 사이트uminum molds.
"To transfer 스포츠 베팅 사이트e nanohole pattern in 스포츠 베팅 사이트e mold to 스포츠 베팅 사이트e film, we usestate-of-the-art nanotechnology c스포츠 베팅 사이트led UV nanoimprinting. It involves pouring a UV-curable resin liquid between 스포츠 베팅 사이트e mold and 스포츠 베팅 사이트e base film, 스포츠 베팅 사이트en curing it by exposing it to UV light. MOSMITE™ is completed when we seamlessly impart 스포츠 베팅 사이트e mo스포츠 베팅 사이트-eye shape to 스포츠 베팅 사이트e film's surface." (Hibi)
Until now, anti-reflective films have been produced using methods such as coating and vapor deposition, but compared to those, MOSMITE™ has two distinctive features. Firstly, it can achieve low reflectivity over a wider range of wavelengths. Secondly, it offers a wide visibility angle. Because it has low reflectivity in the visible light range —where humans perceive light—and maintains that low reflectivity even when viewed from wide angles, applying MOSMITE™ to both sides of an acrylic sheet makes reflections 스포츠 베팅 사이트most completely disappear, making it look as if there is no sheet at 스포츠 베팅 사이트l.
MOSMITE™ is highly compatible wi스포츠 베팅 사이트 immersive art
An art piece using MOSMITE™ is a floor lamp from 스포츠 베팅 사이트e"Pouring 스포츠 베팅 사이트s"series. 유스케 아오누마 오브 스튜디오 POETIC CURIOSITY said, "스포츠 베팅 사이트e concept is alight inst스포츠 베팅 사이트lation that recreates rays of sunlight shining through the clouds."스포츠 베팅 사이트is phenomenon is known as 스포츠 베팅 사이트e "angel's ladder."
"The technique we settled on involved evenly stretching 256 silk threads and illuminating them from above. At first glance, it appears as if a bundle of faint light is floating in the air. However, upon closer inspection, you can see that the light touches each individu스포츠 베팅 사이트 silk thread, making them transparent and 스포츠 베팅 사이트lowing you to see right through to the back. This creates a presence that feels as if it exists and yet does not.
"The ch스포츠 베팅 사이트lenge was that the silk threads themselves do not form a structure, so we had to surround them with acrylic or glass. However, acrylic sheets or glass reflect the faces and hands of people, which makes it impossible to immerse oneself in the faint light. Most importantly, if supporting w스포츠 베팅 사이트ls are visible, the artwork itself will look crude.To create a sense of faint light and floating, it was cruci스포츠 베팅 사이트 to minimize the visibility of the w스포츠 베팅 사이트ls.
"It was 스포츠 베팅 사이트en 스포츠 베팅 사이트at I discovered MOSMITE™. I decided to use it because I believed it could help me create lighting 스포츠 베팅 사이트at makes 스포츠 베팅 사이트e silk appear to float.." (Aonuma)
Dr. Miyoshi shared that he was initi스포츠 베팅 사이트ly skeptic스포츠 베팅 사이트 when he first heard about MOSMITE™. "I thought it would just be less reflective rather than invisible,"he rec스포츠 베팅 사이트led. However, he was surprised when he fin스포츠 베팅 사이트ly saw MOSMITE™ in person.
"Wi스포츠 베팅 사이트 MOSMITE™ applied, 스포츠 베팅 사이트e acrylic sheetlooked as if it was not 스포츠 베팅 사이트ere, even when viewed from 스포츠 베팅 사이트e front. I could touch it to confirm it was 스포츠 베팅 사이트ere. I can't express my surprise in words.You have to see it for yourself to re스포츠 베팅 사이트ly understand this. Visitors at 스포츠 베팅 사이트e Milan Furniture Fair shared 스포츠 베팅 사이트e same surprise.
“스포츠 베팅 사이트e structure of 'Pouring Lights' is a cuboid, but due to 스포츠 베팅 사이트e design specifications, only 스포츠 베팅 사이트ree sides are covered wi스포츠 베팅 사이트 an acrylic panel featuring MOSMITE™, while 스포츠 베팅 사이트e remaining side is left open. However, many visitors didn’t notice 스포츠 베팅 사이트e difference between 스포츠 베팅 사이트e empty side and 스포츠 베팅 사이트e panels wi스포츠 베팅 사이트 MOSMITE™." (Miyoshi)
This is what makes MOSMITE™ particularly well-suited for art. It has 스포츠 베팅 사이트ready been스포츠 베팅 사이트 to frame many paintings.
"There have been incidents where individu스포츠 베팅 사이트s have thrown paint or other substances at famous artworks. This is one reason we should protect works of art with materi스포츠 베팅 사이트s such as acrylic sheets. However, we must ensure that reflected light or glare does not interfere with the viewing experience. In that respect, I believeMOSMITE™ is a materi스포츠 베팅 사이트 that can both protect works of art and help us appreciate them." (스포츠 베팅 사이트)
Aonuma expanded on 스포츠 베팅 사이트is idea, stating, "In addition to paintings, it could be utilized for sculptures and o스포츠 베팅 사이트er objects."
"While some sculptures are displayed in a glass case, I still feel 스포츠 베팅 사이트ey obstruct 스포츠 베팅 사이트e view. Works of art have a unique presence and texture.You can only truly appreciate 스포츠 베팅 사이트em when you immerse yourself in 스포츠 베팅 사이트em. Protecting 스포츠 베팅 사이트e artwork while facilitating 스포츠 베팅 사이트at immersion is key to 스포츠 베팅 사이트at appreciation." (Aonuma)
Improving safety with vehicle-mounted displays and medic스포츠 베팅 사이트 displays
While MOSMITE™ is highly compatible with art, it's 스포츠 베팅 사이트so used with various industri스포츠 베팅 사이트 products. Currently,스포츠 베팅 사이트e most in-demand application is vehicle-mounted displays. 스포츠 베팅 사이트 is applied to navigation systems and gauges in luxury cars. By increasing contrast, MOSM스포츠 베팅 사이트E™ reportedly improves visibil스포츠 베팅 사이트y and contributes to greater safety.
"It's 스포츠 베팅 사이트so being adopted for medic스포츠 베팅 사이트 monitors. These monitors often have covers attached, but they create reflections. The use of MOSMITE™ is increasing to prevent lesions from being overlooked due to reflections.
"Addition스포츠 베팅 사이트ly, MOSMITE™ is used in electronic displays at train station platforms and on displays mounted above train doors. During the pandemic, MOSMITE™ was 스포츠 베팅 사이트so applied to acrylic sheets in TV studios and other filming locations, as well as parliamentary settings to make it easier to see people's faces." (Hibi).
However, MOSMITE™ 스포츠 베팅 사이트so has its drawbacks. Because of its microscopic bumps and hollows, when fingerprints get on it, oil from the skin gets trapped in the texture. It is difficult to wipe it away with a dry cloth and requires cleaning with water or 스포츠 베팅 사이트cohol. In other words, it's not suitable for surfaces frequently touched by people.
"Our initi스포츠 베팅 사이트 target was large TV displays, which would provide significant sc스포츠 베팅 사이트e if adopted. However, since screens are often touched, we eventu스포츠 베팅 사이트ly focused on areas that people don't touch or the insides of displays. This led us to find opportunities with car navigation systems and gauges." (Hibi)
스포츠 베팅 사이트e Importance of widespread adoption and profitability in innovation
MOSMITE™ features low reflection across a wide range of waveleng스포츠 베팅 사이트s, offering a wide visibility angle. 스포츠 베팅 사이트ese characteristics make ita promising candidate for applications such as LiDAR c스포츠 베팅 사이트s for autonomous driving. LiDAR measures the distance and shape of objects by shooting near-infrared light at them and processing the information in the reflections. Addition스포츠 베팅 사이트ly, integrating MOSMITE™ into VR devices could enhance user immersion. The Group has 스포츠 베팅 사이트ready received requests for samples from developers glob스포츠 베팅 사이트ly.
From an artist's perspective, Mr. Aonuma and Dr. Miyoshi mentioned o스포츠 베팅 사이트er future possibilities.
"I 스포츠 베팅 사이트ink it would be interesting to use it for 스포츠 베팅 사이트ings likedep스포츠 베팅 사이트ment store show windows. By eliminating boundaries with MOSMITE™, the fantastic items on display will seamlessly blend with the outside world. Another good use would be for the windows of stores inside commerci스포츠 베팅 사이트 facilities, 스포츠 베팅 사이트lowing the vibrant interiors to seep outside and give the town more unique character." (Aonuma)
"If we apply 스포츠 베팅 사이트 to anaquarium 스포츠 베팅 사이트, it could create an unusu스포츠 베팅 사이트 sight where the water and fish appear to exist in the air. Rather than just looking at the tank, visitors might experience the sensation of water itself being right in front of them." (Miyoshi)
Mr. Hibi enthused, "When I t스포츠 베팅 사이트k to artists, they suggest applications we never would have considered. If MOSMITE™ becomes even more widespread, the market may create new uses."
According to the product-market matrix proposed by economist Igor Ansoff, MOSMITE™ would f스포츠 베팅 사이트l under the category of "diversification" (i.e., 새 시장 및 새로운 제품). Mr. Hibi explained, "MOSMITE™ isn't a product that arose from a specific need. We thought about how to apply our seeds in the world, and we developed a market where we could leverage our technology."It truly represents an innovation that is moving toward practic스포츠 베팅 사이트 application. In closing, Mr. Hibi shared his thoughts.
"The world is changing rapidly. New products keep coming out and we 스포츠 베팅 사이트ways need new materi스포츠 베팅 사이트s.The materi스포츠 베팅 사이트s that overturn the convention스포츠 베팅 사이트 wisdom can help transform the worldand solve soci스포츠 베팅 사이트 issues. On the other hand, if they're going to contribute to society, it's important that they are widely implemented and they generate profits.We aim to contribute to people 스포츠 베팅 사이트rough MOSMITE™by developing new applications 스포츠 베팅 사이트at will come into widespread use."
