Transparent Conductive Heaters Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)

Cockpit Displays ● Outdoor Imaging● Security & Surveillance● Incubators

Abrisa Technologies’ Transparent Conductive Heaters incorporate coatings of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), Index-Matched Indium Tin Oxide (IMITO) or Indium Molyb-denum Oxide (IMO) and are ideal window and display glass solutions when anti-fogging or de-icing, and high throughput and clarity are needed to maintain unobscured viewing and optical sensing in cold climates. The coatings deliver the high uniformity and low scatter performance needed to preserve high resolution digital imaging, sensing or display outputs while maintaining high throughput efficiency and clarity. Our solutions incorporate key heating attributes that can be tailored for specific needs, including design considerations for anti-reflective properties for visible, NIR, SWIR, and IR, optimization to air or index matched for bonding, and delivery of color neutral performance in transmission, reflection, or both.

Anti-Fogging Heater Windows

Electrical Conductivity

Heated windows incorporating transparent conductive coatings as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) and Index-Matched ITO (IMITO) are ideal for digital imaging and display applications to help prevent fogging and ice build-up which can obscure both viewing and image capture. Abrisa Technologies specializes in the design of ITO/IMITO heater solutions optimized for enhanced throughput performance in air or other mediums and additional performance attributes addressing broad or custom viewing angles, spectral ranges, and challenging use environments.

Two Types of ITO/IMITO Constructs:

Accessible ITO/IMITO – The ITO is the top layer of the coating stack and readily available for connectivity contact via conductive gaskets or bus bar application.

Buried ITO/IMITO – The ITO layer is buried under or between dielectric layers. Used for higher abrasion or environmental durability, or design flexibility to achieve enhanced transmission and anti-reflection properties. Requires masking or etching to access the ITO layer for connectivity.
