This link to reuters is broken and I can't find a replacement. Probably should remove it or cite it unlinked.

How about a picture and conductivity value? lysdexia 05:49, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Whay was it so expensive in '39? Military applications?

I don't have time right now, but I'm surprised no one bothered to state the conduction mechanism... I'll put it up later if no one else does.

(PS Yes, for those that could guess, I'm in materials science :) However, I'm new to the field)

ITO Films
I am interested in making ITO films (about 0.35 micron thick) on glass by dip-coat and then pyrolysis. Anyone knows how to formulate a suitable "dip solution" and the baking achedule pls email to:

kanak53@hotmail.com

Thanks in advance.

I think the sentence that says that graphene films have lower resistivity than ITO films is wrong, even though the cited article says so. That article doesn't cite anything, so the information is not verifiable. I am a student and for the thesis I'm working on graphene and from the academic literature I have read that the state of the art graphene films have about 100 the resistance of comparable ITO films. I'm new to the field, so I cannot say anything for sure nor cite an article, but a quick research on sciencedirec.com indicates that the statement is wrong. What should I do? Remove the sentence? 22 Jan 2015

Possible digital camera applications
There have been rumors that the Sony Alpha series Digital Single-Lens Reflex cameras (DSLRs) as well as the Canon EOS 5D have a thin sheet of glass, coated with an extremely fragile and easily scratched / peeled / damaged ITO layer, sitting in front of their sensors' anti-alias filters. It's speculated that the thin layer of glass might be an infrared-absorbing filter; furthermore, the ITO coating might act as a dielectric hot mirror, thus increasing the infrared rejection, and that the ITO layer's conductivity might help dissipate electrical charges and hence minimize the buildup of dust- and particle-attracting static electricity on the filter's surface. Any confirmation as to whether ITO is indeed used by digital camera manufacturers, as well as its role (as a dichromatic interference filter and/or anti-static coating) would be appreciated, and could be usefully added to the "Applications" section of the main article. 213.224.83.4 17:24, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

action of isopropyl alcohol on ito surface.
anybody know regarding whether isopropyl alcohol reacts with the ito surface or not,and other concern is that is isopropyl alcohol modifies the surface chemistry of ito. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.212.4.240 (talk) 13:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Hazards
In the appropriate section of the Zinc oxide article the ITO is mentioned as more "poisonous" than the oxide being discussed. Are there any references on this topic? --Esmu Igors (talk) 17:47, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Maybe this article on the particular hazards of ITO would help: http://toxsci.oxfordjournals.org/content/108/2/472.full.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.0.243.250 (talk) 10:10, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

AZO
I am not sure if this is the current place to request it - but AZO should have its own page -- even the zinc oxide page does not mention it. It is well established in the literature.-- --Wendsjinnit (talk) 04:03, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Constraints and trade-offs
The first sentence in this section is highly questionable. ITO is not that expensive. Someone with more experience should provide a reference for that statement. Clearton11 (talk) 02:17, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

year
The article doesn't give any history, like the year that it was first found or used. That might be nice to know. Gah4 (talk) 16:31, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

sheet conductivity
Should the article better explain the difference between (bulk) conductivity and sheet conductivity? Often in thin layer materials, it is the latter that is important. Gah4 (talk) 18:54, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

moving alternative materials down
Seems to me that the discussion of alternative materials shouldn't be so highly featured in the article. It should be at the end, if it's there at all. --however, some of the alternate materials are simply variants of ITO, which reasonably should be featured here.
