ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) is a transparent, thin coating made from indium oxide combined with tin oxide. It’s uniquely conductive, allowing electricity to pass through while remaining see-through. ITO is widely used in electronic screens, such as smartphones, tablets, and touch panels, where it enables touch sensitivity without blocking light. Its combination of transparency and electrical conductivity makes it essential for various optoelectronic devices, including solar panels and displays. Despite being relatively rare and expensive, ITO’s performance has made it a standard material in modern display technology.
