TCO (Transparent Conductive Oxide)

Transparent Conductive Oxides (TCOs) are special materials that combine electrical conductivity with optical transparency. They are thin, transparent layers made of metal oxides, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), that allow light to pass through while conducting electricity. TCOs are essential in devices like touchscreens, solar panels, and displays, enabling the passage of light while transmitting electrical signals. Their unique properties make them crucial components in modern electronics, providing a clear window of electrical communication without obstructing visibility or light transmission.
