Over the past few years, there has been an explosive growth of interest in both fundamental research and device applications based on Transparent Conductive Materials (TCMs). This unique class of fascinating wide band-gap materials is gaining a variety of cutting-edge applications in the fields of, among others, solar cells, gas sensors, organic light-emitting diodes, liquid crystal and high definition displays, electrochromic and smart windows, as well as in architectural coatings in which they are regarded as the main candidates for the forthcoming "post-Si" electronics era. As evident from the tremendous worldwide research activities that range from fundamental physics to materials fabrication and TCM-based device development, the International Board Members of TCM (former TCO), following the success of TCO2006 and TCO2008 have decided on the organization of the follow-up TCM2010 meeting to take place at the same attractive location in October 17-21, 2010.
