Potential solution:Uses of Transparent Semiconductors: FTO and ITO explained

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) and Indium tin oxide (ITO) are transparent semiconductors that offer significant advantages over traditional semiconductors. FTO is known for its high conductivity and optical transparency, making it ideal for applications in solar cells and display technologies. ITO, on the other hand, is widely used in touchscreens and LCDs due to its excellent electrical properties and transparency. Both materials play a crucial role in advancing optoelectronic devices.
