In May 2017, a new guideline for substitute materials for ITO was published on the online platform of the market research report provider "Research and Markets".
Indium tin oxide (ITO) is currently the most important, transparent, electrically conductive material contained in displays of touch screens, screens, solar cells, LEDs and OLEDs as well as liquid crystal displays. Due to the economic demand for the material and the fact that supplies are limited worldwide, the price is quite expensive. However, since there are still no truly groundbreaking cheaper alternatives for ITO, it is still number one when it comes to the use of materials for the production of transparent electrodes for electronic applications.
End-user and material insights
The 163-page market report provides an insight into end users and materials, as well as equipment suppliers for 2017. The report presents a market and technical forecast for ITO and replacement materials for LCD panels, Plsama displays (PDP), touch panels, e-paper, solar cells, and organic electroluminescence panels (EL panels).
It highlights the following topics:
- ITO and its replacement - preparation and characterization
- Deposition methods and equipment
- Applications in the field of flexible displays, flat panel displays, lighting panels, photovoltaics and touchscreen displays.
- Market observations and previews for the above-mentioned areas
