LUSHADE BLACK Structural Black Pigment Absorbs Over 99% of Light

LUSHADE BLACK is a structural black pigment designed for ultra-low reflectance, absorbing more than 99.0% of visible light. Its unique optical properties help suppress stray light, improving the appearance and performance of optical devices.

The pigment also reflects infrared light, allowing coatings to reduce surface temperature rise when applied. The bismuth sulfide black pigment has a surface structure resembling sea urchin spines, which contributes to its light absorption and infrared reflectivity.

Applications for the pigment include lenses and optical technology, coatings inside camera modules, in-vehicle devices such as LiDAR and dashes, and space-related technology.

In optical equipment, the ultra-low reflectance improves sensor resolution and sensitivity performance against stray light. In cameras, it can be used to reduce glare and overexposure. For in-vehicle devices, the pigment prevents light reflection and scattering in car navigation screens, digital meters, head-up displays (HUDs), etc.

Features:

• Absorbs more than 99% of visible light
• Infrared-reflective properties for temperature-controlled coatings
• Surface structure resembling sea urchin spines for optimal light absorption
• Black coatings for optical lens edges to suppress stray light
• Low-reflectance coatings inside camera modules to reduce internal reflections and improve image clarity
• Infrared-reflective black coatings suitable for LiDAR and other infrared-based devices
• Helps reduce heating of coated surfaces in high-temperature or sunlight-exposed environments
