I-Indium tin oxide ingenye yezinto ezisetshenziswa kakhulu ezenza izinto ezibonakalayo ngenxa ye-conductivity yayo kagesi nokubonakala obala, kanye nokukhululeka okungafakwa ngayo njengefilimu elincanyana.
I-Indium tin oxide (ITO) iwumthombo we-optoelectronic osetshenziswa kabanzi kukho kokubili ucwaningo kanye nezimboni. I-ITO ingasetshenziselwa izinhlelo zokusebenza eziningi, njengezibonisi zephaneli eyisicaba, amafasitela ahlakaniphile, izinto zikagesi ezisekelwe ku-polymer, ama-photovoltaics efilimu emincane, iminyango yengilazi yeziqandisi zesitolo esikhulu, namafasitela ezakhiwo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amafilimu amancanyana e-ITO wama-substrates engilazi angaba usizo kumafasitela engilazi ukuze onge amandla.
Amateyipu aluhlaza e-ITO asetshenziselwa ukukhiqizwa kwezibani ezingama-electroluminescent, asebenzayo, futhi aguquguquka ngokuphelele.[2] Futhi, amafilimu amancanyana e-ITO asetshenziswa ngokuyinhloko ukuze asebenze njengezinto zokumboza ezimelene ne-reflective kanye nezibonisi ze-liquid crystal (LCDs) kanye ne-electroluminescence, lapho amafilimu amancane asetshenziswa njengokuqhuba, ama-electrode asobala.
I-ITO ivamise ukusetshenziselwa ukwenza i-conductive coating ekhanyelayo yezibonisi ezifana nezibonisi zekristalu eliwuketshezi, izibonisi zephaneli eyisicaba, izibonisi ze-plasma, amaphaneli okuthinta, kanye nezicelo ze-inki zika-elekthronikhi. Amafilimu azacile e-ITO aphinde asetshenziswe kuma-organic light-emitting diode, amaseli elanga, ama-antistatic coatings kanye nezivikelo ze-EMI. Kuma-diode akhipha ukukhanya okuphilayo, i-ITO isetshenziswa njenge-anode (ungqimba lomjovo wembobo).
Amafilimu e-ITO afakwe kuma-windshields asetshenziselwa ukuqeda isithwathwa sezindiza zezindiza. Ukushisa kukhiqizwa ngokusebenzisa i-voltage kuyo yonke ifilimu.
I-ITO iphinde isetshenziselwe ukumboza okuhlukahlukene okubonakalayo, ikakhulukazi i-infrared-reflecting coatings (izibuko ezishisayo) zezimoto, nezingilazi zezibani ze-sodium. Okunye ukusetshenziswa kufaka phakathi izinzwa zegesi, ama-antireflection coatings, i-electrowetting kuma-dielectrics, nezibonisi ze-Bragg zamalaser e-VCSEL. I-ITO iphinda isetshenziswe njengesibonisi se-IR samafasitelana ane-e ephansi. I-ITO iphinde yasetshenziswa njengesembozo senzwa kumakhamera we-Kodak DCS akamuva, aqala nge-Kodak DCS 520, njengendlela yokwandisa impendulo yesiteshi eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.
Amageji e-ITO azacile ohlobo lwefilimu angasebenza emazingeni okushisa afinyelela ku-1400 °C futhi angasetshenziswa ezindaweni ezinokhahlo, njengezinjini zegesi, izinjini zejethi, nezinjini zamarokhethi.
