ITO, a mixture of indium oxide In2O3 (90 %) and SnO2 (10 %) is largely used for displays coatings being transparent and electrically conductive. Also used in solar cells, glasses for sodium vapor lamps, infrared mirrors, etc. The metal is used in some alloys, coating for bearings as lubricant, control rods for nuclear reactors (alloy Ag-In-Cd) etc.
See the link below for more information.
Indium is also used as an N type dopant in some semiconductor devices (the corresponding P type dopant is Antimony).

What is a use of indium?
facts on indium
Is the element indium dangerous?
Pure indium is nontoxic, even in high concentrations (breathing in indium particles is not very healthy, obviously, but not because of any special property of indium). However, indium in a soluble solution is damaging to the kidneys, and certain indium compounds (most notably indium trichloride and indium phosphide) are very dangerous to the lungs.
What phase of matter does indium exist in?
Indium can be solid, liquid or gas. At room temperature, indium is a solid.
What is the chemical symbol for indium?
The chemical symbol of indium is In.
What element has the same valence electron configuration as indium?
Indium bond with lots of elements to form compounds. Examples: Indium + Phosphorus --> Indium Phosphide Indium + Bromine --> Indium (I/III) Bromide Indium + Fluorine --> Indium Fluoride Indium + Oxygen --> Indium Oxide Indium + Antimony --> Indium Antimonide Indium + Arsenic --> Indium Arsenide
How is indium commonly found on earth?
indium is in caves and place where its cool.
Is indium a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Indium is a metal. It belongs to p block, group 13.
