I-Indidium tin oxide yenye yezona zinto zisetyenziswa kakhulu kwi-transparent conducting oxides ngenxa ye-conductivity yayo yombane kunye ne-optical transparency, kunye nokukhululeka kokufakwa njengefilimu encinci.
I-Indium tin oxide (ITO) yimpahla ye-optoelectronic esetyenziswa ngokubanzi kuphando kunye nakumashishini. I-ITO inokusetyenziselwa usetyenziso oluninzi, olunje ngemiboniso yeepaneli ezisicaba, iifestile ezikrelekrele, i-elektroniki esekwe kwipolymer, iifotovoltaics zefilimu ebhityileyo, iingcango zeglasi zezikhenkcisi zevenkile enkulu, kunye neefestile zokwakha. Ngaphezu koko, iifilimu ezicekethekileyo ze-ITO zeglasi ezisezantsi zinokuba luncedo kwiifestile zeglasi ukugcina amandla.
Iiteyiphu eziluhlaza ze-ITO zisetyenziselwa ukuveliswa kwezibane ze-electroluminescent, ezisebenzayo, neziguquguqukayo ngokupheleleyo.[2] Kwakhona, iifilimu ezicekethekileyo ze-ITO zisetyenziselwa ukusebenza njengeengubo ezichasene ne-reflective kunye ne-liquid crystal displays (LCDs) kunye ne-electroluminescence, apho iifilimu ezincinci zisetyenziselwa ukuqhuba, i-electrode ebonakalayo.
I-ITO isoloko isetyenziselwa ukwenza i-transparent conductive coating yemiboniso efana ne-liquid crystal displays, i-flat panel displays, i-plasma displays, iipaneli zokuchukumisa, kunye nokusetyenziswa kwe-inki ye-elektroniki. Iifilimu ezincinci ze-ITO zikwasetyenziswa kwi-organic light-emitting diode, iiseli zelanga, ii-antistatic coatings kunye nezikhuselo ze-EMI. Kwi-organic light-emitting diode, i-ITO isetyenziswa njenge-anode (i-injection layer).
Iifilimu ze-ITO ezifakwe kwii-windshields zisetyenziselwa ukutshitshisa iifestile zeenqwelomoya. Ubushushu buveliswa ngokusebenzisa amandla ombane kwifilimu.
I-ITO ikwasetyenziselwa ukugquma kwee-optical ezahlukeneyo, ingakumbi i-infrared-reflecting coatings (izibuko ezishushu) kwiimoto, kunye neeglasi zesibane somphunga wesodium. Olunye usetyenziso lubandakanya izinzwa zegesi, i-antireflection coatings, i-electrowetting kwi-dielectrics, kunye ne-Bragg reflectors ye-laser ye-VCSEL. I-ITO ikwasetyenziswa njengesibonisi se-IR kwiifestile ezisezantsi. I-ITO iphinde isetyenziswe njenge-sensor coating kwiikhamera ze-Kodak DCS zamva, ukuqala nge-Kodak DCS 520, njengendlela yokwandisa impendulo yetshaneli eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.
Iigeyiji ze-ITO zohlobo lwefilim ezicekethekileyo zinokusebenza kumaqondo obushushu ukuya kuthi ga kwi-1400 °C kwaye zinokusetyenziswa kwiimeko ezirhabaxa, ezinje ngee turbines zegesi, iinjini zejethi, kunye neenjini zerokethi.
