Diamond Quanta today announced the debut of Adamantine Optics™, an engineered diamond-integrated antireflective coating designed for superior scratch resistance, durability, and optical clarity in next-generation consumer electronics and precision optics. Developed in partnership with Heller Industries and ExtenD Co. Ltd. (Japan), this technology utilizes a hot-filament CVD (HFCVD) process for drop-in integration with existing manufacturing lines. Diamond Quanta will exhibit Adamantine Optics™ at CES 2026 Eureka Park, demonstrating a solution to the $8.3 billion in consumer repair costs resulting from 78 million damaged smartphones annually.
Adamantine Optics™ Debut and Features
Diamond Quanta will debut Adamantine Optics™ at CES 2026 Eureka Park, showcasing an engineered diamond-integrated antireflective coating. This technology is designed for superior scratch resistance, durability, and optical clarity in next-generation consumer electronics and precision optics. A live demonstration at the event will highlight these qualities, utilizing a confocal laser microscope system to quantify and visualize surface wear and scratch resistance, providing precise surface profiling measurements.
Adamantine Optics™ addresses a significant market need, as 78 million smartphones were damaged in the U.S. last year, with 67 percent experiencing cracked screens – costing consumers an estimated $8.3 billion. This engineered diamond coating aims to extend product life without compromising design or display performance, potentially reducing warranty exposure and increasing customer satisfaction for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Developed with partners like Heller Industries and ExtenD Co. Ltd., Adamantine Optics™ is engineered for drop-in integration with existing manufacturing lines. Diamond Quanta’s hot-filament CVD (HFCVD) equipment enables a scalable pathway from lab validation to pilot production, allowing OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers to adopt diamond performance within their current workflows. Pre-briefings are available December 2-16, 2025, with live demos at CES January 6-9, 2026 (Booth #60241).
Demonstration of Durability and Clarity
Diamond Quanta will demonstrate the durability and clarity of its Adamantine Optics™ at CES 2026. A live, on-booth demonstration will showcase the engineered diamond-integrated antireflective coating, highlighting its resistance to wear and scratches. This will be quantified and visualized using a confocal laser microscope system, allowing for high-precision measurement of surface integrity. The demo aims to provide a direct comparison to currently available cover glass, proving the protective capabilities of engineered diamond surfaces.
The demonstration focuses on real-world scenarios, addressing the significant issue of smartphone damage. The source notes that 78 million smartphones were damaged in the U.S. last year, with 67% experiencing cracked screens – costing consumers an estimated $8.3 billion. Adamantine Optics aims to extend product life by combining diamond hardness with optical clarity, reducing warranty claims and improving customer satisfaction for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Adamantine Optics is designed for “drop-in integration” with existing manufacturing lines, thanks to partnerships with Heller Industries and ExtenD Co. Ltd. This allows OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers to adopt diamond performance without significant changes to their current processes. The technology builds upon Diamond Quanta‘s broader engineered-diamond platform, and the company anticipates announcing further breakthroughs ahead of the CES demo.
Adamantine Optics proves that engineered diamond can be manufactured, integrated, and scaled.
