ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) Coating
NWG offers ITO/FTO Coating Glass having excellent conductive and high transmittance properties. To make the choice easier, NWG can help by mail if you'd like, so you can refer to the coating thickness against our resistivity chart.
Applications
Displays/Touchscreens
ITO coated glass is widely used in capacitive touchscreens, display panel, providing a transparent conductive layer that responds to touch gestures.
Solar Cells
ITO coated glass is utilized in photovoltaic applications to create transparent conductive films for solar cells.
Antistatic Coatings
ITO coatings are employed in environments where static electricity needs to be controlled, such as in cleanrooms and electronic manufacturing. Transparent Heaters In some applications, ITO coated glass is used as a transparent heating element, providing defogging or deicing capabilities.
Key Characteristics
1.Electrical Conductivity
ITO is a transparent conductor, meaning it allows light to pass through while conducting electricity.
This property is crucial for applications like touchscreens, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays.
2.Optical Transparency
ITO coated glass maintains high optical transparency in the visible spectrum, allowing for clear visibility of images or information displayed on screens.
This transparency is essential for display applications.
3.Durability
ITO coatings are generally durable and able to withstand normal handling and cleaning.
However, extra care must be taken to avoid abrasives that could scratch the surface.
4.Thin Film Thickness Cutting
The ITO layer is typically very thin, often in the range of a few hundred nanometers.
This thin film minimally affects the overall thickness and weight of the glass.
