I assume you would like to know why transparent ZnO thin films are preferred to opaque TCO thin films. ZnO thin films may be useful in a wide range of optical and electronic applications, including transparent thin film transistors (TTFTs), optical filters, transparent electrodes, back reflectors in thin film solar cells, and space applications, due to their transparency [1]. ZnO possesses fascinating properties such as high mobility, a high ION/IOFF ratio, a low subthreshold, and a suitable threshold voltage [2]. Few notable phenomena found with ZnO transparent thin films include improved electro-optical performance, high thermal endurance above 180 °C, and the ability to be placed on polyimide-based flexible electronics without deteriorating the thermoplastic substrate [3].
