High performance TCO film developed by MCL's research team now is available for leading edge users. The products will be delivered in the form of FTO film coated glass to your specific demands.

FTO is generally superior in combination of cost and performance, and avoids problems with indium diffusion into the N-type TiO₂ or ZnO nano-structured film.

Potential Applications

(a) Flat panel displays, (b) Touch panel, (c) Dye-sensitized solar cells,
(d) Smart windows, (e) Flexible electronics, (f) Thin film solar cell.

Able to offer

MCL researcher is able to offer better material properties both with low "sheet resistance" and high "transmittance".  With these unique properties, FTO can also be used in a wide range of thin film devices, including opto-electronics, photovoltaic, energy saving windows and so on. MCL's high performance film was also verified by applying to the dye-sensitized solar cell module.   As shown below, the high transmittance and low sheet resistance of FTO glass enable the high photocurrent and high fill factor (FF) of a DSSC module.  MCL is also developing application for module temperature control and touch panel.

The graph shows a better performance of DSSC coated with MCL-FTO-VT film.

In addition to standard MCL-FTO sample specs, as shown in the table, we can offer a visible transmission up to 80-85% designated as MCL-FTO-VT for more advanced users, MCL can also provide even lower sheet resistance, e.g. < 6Ω/, or higher visible transmission, e.g. > 85%, designated as Apollo series to meet your unique application needs. Please send your order request to MCL Technology Showcase contact address, we will reply you as soon as we can.
