Problems solved by technology

Although the ITO film produced by the existing process has high conductivity and transparency, which can basically meet the needs of some electronic products for these two technical indicators, there are still many difficulties that are difficult to overcome:
[0005] (1) ITO is very brittle and brittle, so it is easy to be worn during application or cracks and falls off during bending, which affects the service life
[0006] (2) After the ITO film is formed, high temperature treatment is required to achieve high conductivity. When using a plastic substrate, due to the limited processing temperature, the conductivity and transparency of the film are low
[0007] (3) Affected by raw mat
