ANTGLASS manufactures custom ITO conductive glass substrates, slides and electrodes for displays, touch devices, sensors, heaters, electrochemistry and laboratory systems.
ANTGLASS supplies and processes ITO-coated glass with drawing-defined size, coating orientation, sheet-resistance range, transmission target, patterns, busbars, contact areas and edge deletion.

ANTGLASS Manufacturing Capabilities
ANTGLASS provides precision cutting, CNC contour machining, drilling, slotting, notching, chamfering, grinding, lapping, polishing, coating-compatible handling, ultrasonic cleaning and protected packaging. The manufacturing sequence is selected around the coated, optical, via, chamber or angular features that control the finished component.
- Review substrate, coating specification and electrical layout
- Cut or CNC-machine the glass while protecting the coated face
- Add holes, slots, edge deletion, patterns or contact features as specified
- Clean with a route compatible with the conductive coating
- Inspect geometry, coating orientation, surfaces and electrical criteria
Inspection, Cleaning and Packaging
Inspection is tied to the drawing and functional zones rather than a generic cosmetic check. Mechanical, optical, electrical or fluidic requirements are separated so the correct method and datum are used. Finished parts are cleaned and separated to protect critical faces, bores, coatings and edges.
- Sheet resistance and test-location definition
- Visible transmission and coating uniformity
- Pattern dimensions, contact zones and edge deletion
- Chips, scratches, pinholes and coating-side cleanliness
Typical Applications
- Touch sensors and display development
- Transparent electrodes and electrochemical cells
- Heaters, detectors and laboratory electrodes
- Optoelectronic, MEMS and research devices
ITO Glass Design and Ordering Guide
Start the RFQ with the functional requirement and the measurement condition. A sheet-resistance value without a test position, a spectral value without wavelength and angle, or a geometric tolerance without a datum can produce conflicting interpretations. Mark all active, optical, conductive, sealing and contact zones directly on the drawing.
Separate critical requirements from general dimensions. ANTGLASS can then choose a stable process sequence, protect finished surfaces and use inspection methods that match the component function. For prototype work, identify which values are development targets and which are release criteria for repeat production.
- Identify the functional face and orientation datum.
- Define the clear, active or conductive area separately from the mechanical outline.
- State the inspection method or reference condition for critical values.
- Show protected edge zones, contacts, ports, coating masks or via exclusions.
- Include operating temperature, chemicals, optical band and assembly conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ITO glass?
ITO glass is a transparent conductive substrate coated with indium tin oxide. It combines optical transmission with electrical conductivity for electrodes, touch devices, heaters, sensors and research systems.
Which ITO specifications should be defined?
Define substrate material and thickness, coated side, sheet-resistance range, transmission or wavelength requirement, coating area, pattern, busbar or contact-pad geometry, edge deletion and inspection method.
Can ANTGLASS machine ITO glass with holes, slots and custom outlines?
Yes. ANTGLASS cuts and machines ITO glass into drawing-based outlines and can add holes, slots, notches and edge features while protecting the conductive surface through the manufacturing and cleaning route.
How should the coated side be shown on the drawing?
Mark the ITO face, conductive area, contact zones, uncoated zones and orientation datum explicitly. This prevents coating-side reversal and keeps assembly and electrical inspection consistent.
When should ITO be compared with FTO glass?
Compare ITO and FTO when the project involves elevated-temperature processing, chemical exposure, sheet resistance, visible transmission or cost trade-offs. The final choice follows the complete device process.
