ITO Coated Glass An Overview

Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a mixture of indium (III) oxide (In2O3) and tin (IV) oxide (SnO2). When in powder form it is green-yellow in colour however when deposited as a thin film on glass it is transparent/colourless and works as a transparent electrical conductor. 

 

ITO COATED GLASS OVERVIEW

Clients focused on using transparent conductive ITO-coatings on high quality glass substrates will benefit from this article. ITO coated glasses of superior quality are electrically conductive and optically transparent. They facilitate high sheet resistance homogeneity and come with SiO2 barrier passive layer, their micro roughness is less, and offer high VIS-NIR light source transmission, etc.

ITO Coated Glass’ field of application is wide. These ITO coated glasses and slides are used in display technology, de-icing use and applications, ITO coated glass plate, flat antenna used for mobile communication, research purpose glass slides, Circuit substrate, Ito slides that can be heated, Transparent EMF/EMI/ EMC/RFI/HF shielding glass and many others. Before choosing supplier, it is for the buyer to ensure that they will be able to cater to their precise requirements.  

Though ITO coated glasses are generally available in standard sizes, they can be manufactured in customized dimensions and sizes specified by the client based on their requirement. 

Before placing an order it is for the buyer to confirm the following facts concerned with order/ as part of quotation; whether they deliver large size orders, and what would be the delivery time period and whether it suits you, will the manufacturer be willing to make them in odd sizes as and when required and if they would, how long would it take them to deliver it. Do they keep standard sizes in stock or each order is processed independently, this is important information to have if buyer is likely to place in-between order. Buyer should also check whether manufactures will offer consultation or advice if required with regard to ITO coated glass or its variations being bought from them.

If you’ve chosen a reliable supplier or manufacturer of ITO-coated glass, he will be equipped to customize your requirements; the manufacturing unit will ensure that substrate material, conductivity, optical transmission,  film thickness of the indium-tin-oxide layer or other technical properties are adapted to your technical needs. The supplier will also specify coating construction, optical transmission, refractive index, flatness, and surface quality of the glass ordered by you.
