Aluminium gallium indium phosphide AlGaInP
A semiconductor material used in the manufacture of light-emitting diodes of high-brightness red, orange, green, and yellow colour, to form the heterostructure emitting light. It is also used to make diode lasers.
Indium(III) arsenide InAs
Used for construction of infrared detectors and diode lasers.
Indium(III) antimonide InSb
A narrow gap semiconductor material used in infrared detectors, including thermal imaging cameras, FLIR (forward looking infra-red) systems, infrared homing missile guidance systems, and in infrared astronomy.
Indium tin oxide mixture of In2O3 and SnO2
Mainly used to make transparent conductive coatings for liquid crystal displays, flat panel displays, plasma displays, touch panels, electronic ink applications, organic light-emitting diodes, and solar cells, and antistatic coatings and EMI shieldings.
ITO is also used for various optical coatings, most notably infrared-reflecting coatings (hot mirrors) for architectural, automotive, and sodium vapour lamp glasses.
