ITO(Indium tin oxide)
Abbreviation for Indium Tin Oxide. Also called tin-doped indium oxide.
It has high transparency and conductivity and is widely used as an electrode layer for touch panels in smartphones and other devices.
Due to the presence of indium, a rare metal, stable supply is expected to be difficult in the future, and various alternatives are being considered.
