A picture is worth a thousand words. For that reason we increasingly integrate
displays in every day life: from mobile phones to computers to television
sets. The integration of electronics and optics finds its use in an increasing
number of devices. A wealth of information, available in an electronic
form, is made visible on a variety of displays. On the other hand, solar
cells convert light to useful electricity. Displays and solar cells are
typical examples of layered structures of various electro-optically functional
coatings on glass or plastic substrates.
ITO (Indium tin oxide), for example, is used as a transparent conductive
oxide. Umicore Thin Film Products provides a diverse portfolio of both
sputtering targets and evaporation materials. Even for the most complex
applications, such as thin film solar cells, Umicore Thin Film Products
can produce the materials for every single layer present.
By involving both, universities and industrial partners, Umicore is at the
forefront of technological evolution. This opens the opportunity to design
materials fully accomplishing today's and tomorrow's industry requirements.
A highly trained technical sales force worldwide ensures an easy access
