Photopia®

Go Into The Light

The magic starts with Matsui. Light years ahead of it's time, Matsui harnessed the power of the sun to develop Photopia®, a patented color-change material. In the presence of sunlight or ultraviolet light, the molecular structure of the color-sensitive material changes to a new color. Remove the light and presto, the material reverts back to it's original or colorless state.

This illuminating and reversible process is available in a rainbow of colors and combinations from soft pastels to rich, vibrant hues-creating endless effects that can give any product an added dimension, make it more exciting and appear to come alive. It's easy to see why Photopia® color-change technology inspires a new generation of bright ideas every day.

Photopia's broad spectrum of colors and materials opens the doors of the imagination to limitless applications and product possibilities, ranging from the novel to the practical. Toys that delight, safety products that protect, I.D. cards that reveal a secret code and t-shirts with slogans that suddenly appear before your eyes are just a few innovative examples. When it comes to the magic of Photopia®, the sky's the limit.
