Results for tag: "Transparent Conducting Oxide"

Transparent Conducting Oxide (TCO) is a type of semiconductor material used in a variety of applications, such as solar cells, touch screens, and displays. It is a thin film of metal oxide that is transparent and electrically conductive. TCOs are typically made from indium tin oxide (ITO) or zinc oxide (ZnO). They are used to improve the performance of electronic devices by providing electrical conductivity and optical transparency. TCO materials are used in a variety of applications, such as solar cells, touch screens, and displays. They are also used in the fabrication of thin-film transistors, which are used in flat-panel displays and other electronic devices. TCOs are also used in the production of photovoltaic cells, which are used to convert sunlight into electricity. The TCO market is expected to grow in the coming years due to the increasing demand for electronic devices and the growing demand for renewable energy sources. The market is also driven by the increasing demand for thin-film transistors and photovoltaic cells. Some of the major companies in the TCO market include Corning Incorporated, Merck KGaA, Nippon Sheet Glass Co., Ltd., Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd., and Umicore. Show Less Read more
