How about a picture and conductivity value? lysdexia 05:49, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Whay was it so expensive in '39? Military applications?


I don't have time right now, but I'm surprised no one bothered to state the conduction mechanism... I'll put it up later if no one else does.

(PS Yes, for those that could guess, I'm in materials science :) However, I'm new to the field)

[edit] ITO Films

I am interested in making ITO films (about 0.35 micron thick) on glass by dip-coat and then pyrolysis. Anyone knows how to formulate a suitable "dip solution" and the baking achedule pls email to:

Thanks in advance.


[edit] Possible digital camera applications

There have been rumors that the Sony Alpha series Digital Single-Lens Reflex cameras (DSLRs) as well as the Canon EOS 5D have a thin sheet of glass, coated with an extremely fragile and easily scratched / peeled / damaged ITO layer, sitting in front of their sensors' anti-alias filters. It's speculated that the thin layer of glass might be an infrared-absorbing filter; furthermore, the ITO coating might act as a dielectric hot mirror, thus increasing the infrared rejection, and that the ITO layer's conductivity might help dissipate electrical charges and hence minimize the buildup of dust- and particle-attracting static electricity on the filter's surface. Any confirmation as to whether ITO is indeed used by digital camera manufacturers, as well as its role (as a dichromatic interference filter and/or anti-static coating) would be appreciated, and could be usefully added to the "Applications" section of the main article. 213.224.83.4 17:24, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] action of isopropyl alcohol on ito surface.

anybody know regarding whether isopropyl alcohol reacts with the ito surface or not,and other concern is that is isopropyl alcohol modifies the surface chemistry of ito. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.212.4.240 (talk) 13:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
