Bus Bars for Transparent Conductive Coatings

ITO Heaters ● EMI Shielding ● Incubators ● E-Conductive Systems

Transparent conductive coatings such as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), Indium Molybdenum (IMO) or Index-Matched (IMITO) are used to make robust transparent electro-magnetic shielded (EMI) display enhancement glass, anti-fogging/frost-free camera windows and controlled temperature sample surfaces for live cell imaging. Bus bars provide the pathways for electrical connectivity or grounding points to the coating and are themselves, made of conductive material.

Bus Bars are offered in strip, full perimeter, and other controlled patterns either on top of or under the coating with connection point options possible at the surface, side or rear surface. Abrisa Technologies offers Total Solutions inclusive of transparent conductive coatings, bus bars and wire bonding on our supply of fabricated specialty glasses.
