Are you struggling with these design problems?

Want to achieve anti-fogging and snow-melting for transparent areas and sensing devices, but…

Don't want to compromise on visibility, design, or functionality!
How can we efficiently address these problems?

What problem does Panasonic’s
Transparent Conductive Film FineX (Fine Cross) solve?

Sensing technology is essential for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD) systems.
With the introduction of Autonomous Driving Level3 vehicles on the market, it has become a problem to ensure the proper operation of various sensors regardless of weather or driving conditions.

To ensure that ADAS operates properly from the moment the engine is started, transparent heaters with high transmittance and rapid heating are required for anti-fogging and snow melting measures.
