Diamond Quanta Debuts Adamantine Optics at CES 2026

Diamond Quanta steps into CES 2026 with a material upgrade that feels long overdue. The company introduces Adamantine Optics, an engineered diamond-integrated antireflective coating designed to bring extreme durability and optical clarity to consumer electronics. As smartphone screens continue to crack by the millions each year, Diamond Quanta positions its new diamond-based coating as a practical answer for OEMs needing tougher surface protection without redesigning their devices.

Diamond-Integrated Protection Built for Modern Devices

The core idea behind Adamantine Optics is simple: blend engineered diamond into an optical coating to boost scratch resistance and maintain high clarity. Diamond Quanta claims the coating can withstand abrasion far better than conventional cover glass while keeping display visibility intact. Instead of radically changing device structure, the material is designed to slot into existing workflows, making it a drop-in upgrade for electronics manufacturers.

Live CES Demo Shows Real-World Surface Wear

At CES 2026, Diamond Quanta is preparing a hands-on demo using a confocal laser microscope to visualize surface wear and profile scratches at high precision. Visitors will see controlled abrasion tests comparing Adamantine Optics against common coatings. The showcase highlights how engineered diamond layers maintain surface integrity under stress, giving attendees a direct apples-to-apples view of how the material behaves in real usage without sacrificing brightness or aesthetics.

Durability Becomes a Brand Experience Issue

Every year, broken smartphone screens cost U.S. consumers billions. According to industry data, 78 million devices were damaged last year and 67 percent involved cracked displays. This makes durability more than a materials problem—it affects warranty costs and brand perception. Adamantine Optics aims to extend product life by combining the hardness of diamond with the optical performance expected from modern devices, allowing OEMs to prioritize both design and long-term reliability.

Engineered for Scale Through Manufacturing Partnerships

Diamond Quanta developed Adamantine Optics alongside partners including Heller Industries and ExtenD Co. Ltd. of Japan, their hot-filament CVD equipment specialist. Through this collaboration, the company produced a coating that integrates directly with standard finishing lines, offering manufacturers a practical path from lab-grade engineering to pilot production. The broader engineered-diamond platform also targets future applications across optics, electronics, and quantum devices, with more announcements expected ahead of CES. Pricing and availability will be shared privately during scheduled meetings at the event.
