Indium Corporation's Dr. Ron Lasky, Senior Technologist, discusses the importance of indium tin oxide (ITO) in touchscreen and flat panel technology in a new video available at www.indium.com/blog/phil-zarrow.
As part of the Electronics Assembly with Phil Zarrow series, Lasky and SMT manufacturing expert Phil Zarrow, President and Principal Consultant for ITM Consulting, review how ITO is used to enable flat panel and touchscreen technologies.
"Indium metal and ITO are among the most important materials in the modern world," according to Lasky. "The very nature of metals is that they're opaque; it's a matter of physics. So, scientists had to find a material that both conducts electricity and is transparent – and ITO is the solution. ITO's transparency enables flat panel displays and touchscreen technology."
