Thin-Film Formation and Processing Technologies
Highly functional films are manufactured by forming a thin film, applying a functional material on the film surface, and then implementing surface modification. Technologies applied in each step collectively comprise the foundation of the manufacturing technique that Fujifilm has cultivated and utilized for various functional films, including display optical, recording and graphic materials.
Core technologies derived from these fundamental technologies

Precision coating technology is used to apply a homogeneous multilayer-coating of highly functional materials on films at a micrometer scale. Thin-film formation technology assists in forming films by flow casting while controlling various features such as optical properties. Fujifilm manufactures various functional films of high quality and exceptional stability using these technologies.
