When manufacturing many electronic products, we know that the various electronic components inside must not be electrically connected or experience any leakage currents; otherwise, the product’s performance will be adversely affected. To reliably separate these different components, insulating Mylar sheets are typically used.
During the manufacturing process, Mylar film is produced using a specialized material and proprietary techniques. As a result, the finished product poses no issues during use. Its insulation performance is fully guaranteed, and we can produce exceptionally thin grades of insulating Mylar film. Consequently, it can be reliably employed in high‑precision electronic devices without any concerns.
Because it does not increase our production‑related footprint, we have traditionally used it quite extensively. However, when manufacturing mylar films, their inherent insulating properties must be carefully maintained. Consequently, the raw materials we select must meet stringent requirements: they themselves should be insulating; otherwise, the finished mylar film would fail to deliver the desired insulation performance. That’s why, in the market, mylar film production relies on specially formulated raw materials that not only ensure superior insulation but also enable the creation of exceptionally thin films. This results in greater ease of handling and application during use.

Ion Coating Dramatically Reduces Baffle-Ring Reflectance
Yamagata Optical's ion-coating process reduces baffle-ring reflectance by a factor of 8.6. In addition to multiple solutions for suppressing stray light at the aperture edge, we can apply an ultra-low-reflectance ion coating to both sides of the film used to manufacture baffle rings. After treatment, reflectance can fall below 0.3%, substantially improving camera-module optical performance.
Yamagata Optics lens hood ion plating technology
After ion-plating treatment, Yamagata Optics has achieved an 8.6-fold reduction in the reflectance of its aperture. Currently, in addition to multiple anti-glare and stray-light suppression solutions for the inner bore of the aperture, Yamagata Optics can also apply ultra-low-reflection ion-plating to both sides of the raw-material light-shielding film. Following this anti-reflection treatment, the reflectance can be reduced to below 0.3%, significantly enhancing the optical performance of the camera.
In optical imaging, light can be both essential and disruptive. An unwanted ray may reflect off a lens-barrel wall, scatter from a spacer ring or diffract at a baffle edge. The result can be ghosting, halos, light streaks, ripple-like artifacts or veiling glare that washes out the image. Together, these forms of stray light undermine image clarity, contrast and signal-to-noise ratio.
