AZO Coated Glass
Al2O4Zn coated glass is a versatile material used in various applications due to its unique electrical, optical, and chemical properties. AZO is a type of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) that combines zinc oxide (ZnO) with aluminum (Al) to enhance its conductivity while maintaining optical transparency.
Solar Energy
Photovoltaic Cells: Al2O4Zn is used as a transparent conductive layer in thin-film solar cells, such as those based on cadmium telluride (CdTe) or copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), to improve electrical conductivity and light transmission.
Solar Panels: It is applied in the front glass of solar panels to enhance efficiency by allowing more light to reach the active layer and providing electrical contact.
Displays and Touchscreens
LCD Screens: AZO-coated glass is used as a transparent conductive electrode in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) to facilitate the alignment and switching of liquid crystals.
Touchscreens: Employed in touch-sensitive displays for smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices due to its high transparency and conductivity.
Electronics
Flat Panel Displays: Used in flat panel displays (FPDs) for televisions and monitors as part of the electrode system.
LEDs: Applied in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to improve light extraction and device efficiency.
Optoelectronics
Optical Sensors: AZO-coated glass is used in various optical sensors and photodetectors due to its transparency and conductivity.
Photovoltaic Devices: Used in optoelectronic devices where both transparency and electrical conductivity are required.
Architectural Glass
Smart Windows: AZO-coated glass is utilized in smart windows that can regulate light transmission and heat gain, contributing to energy-efficient buildings.
Energy-Efficient Facades: Employed in building facades to provide both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits, such as improved insulation and reduced glare.
Heating Elements
Heating Panels: Used in transparent heating panels and defogging systems, such as those found in car windshields and mirrors, due to its ability to conduct electricity while remaining transparent.
Touch Panels
Interactive Displays: AZO-coated glass is used in interactive touch panels and kiosks, providing a conductive layer that responds to touch inputs.
Optical Coatings
Anti-Reflective Coatings: AZO-coated glass can be used in anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare and improve visibility in optical devices and windows.
