Indium is a soft, malleable metal with a silvery-white appearance. It is fabricated by the chemical reaction of tin-oxide with indium oxide and is used as a transparent conducting film and has high transmittance in the visible IR region. ITO is used in applications that require a transparent conductive coating on their surfaces. About 75% of the total compound consumed is used in the production of flat panel displays (FPDs) and liquid-crystal displays (LCDs).
