Despite the emergence of numerous alternatives, ITO remains the first choice for transparent conductive materials in touchscreens. At Interelectronix, our deep understanding of ITO's unique qualities and extensive experience in the industry reinforce our commitment to leveraging this material's strengths. Join us as we explore why ITO continues to dominate and when alternatives come into play.
According to Gartner survey results, rising spending on semiconductor investments is having an impact worldwide in 2017 and is already causing a significant increase of 10.2 percent.
It was not until 2004 that graphene, a transparent two-dimensional carbon allotrope, was discovered. It is a good conductor of electrical and thermal power and is known to be 200x stronger than steel. Important product properties are, for example, high electron mobility, permeability and heat resistance.
At the Hamburg Science Award, scientists or research groups working in Germany are awarded prize money of €100,000 if they are nominated for their achievements.
Carbon nanobuds (CNB) were discovered in 2006 by the founders of the Finnish company Canatu Oy when the research group was trying to produce single-walled carbon nanotubes. CNBs are therefore a combination of carbon nanotubes and spherical fullerenes (hollow, closed molecules of carbon atoms) and combine properties of both materials.
According to Wikipedia, silicon is the second most abundant element in the earth's shell, based on the mass fraction (ppmw), after oxygen. Silicon is a semimetal and an element semiconductor.
Navigating hazardous environments is challenging, especially when balancing compliance with operational efficiency. At Interelectronix, we’ve seen firsthand how crucial the IEC 60079 series is for ensuring safety in explosive atmospheres. Understanding these standards isn’t optional—it’s a vital part of protecting your team and equipment. Let’s explore what this means for your operations.
Thinking about larger touch screens for your outdoor kiosks? You might want to reconsider. Larger screens can more than double solar heat absorption, leading to overheating, component failures, and soaring maintenance costs.
