Optoelectronic devices using tailored- and low-refractive index nanoporous thin films

Abstract

Matching the refractive index of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrode to its ambient in liquid crystal display significantly reduces Fresnel reflection loss. The transmittance through glass substrates with nanoporous ITO electrodes is shown to have an averaged transmittance enhancement of 13% compared to glass substrates with dense ITO electrodes.
