The Application of Ansperical Microlens Array on Direct Backlight System

Tsou C., Lai T., Huang C., Chang C., Wu C., Feng Chia University, TW

Today’s liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have to achieve more brightness and better uniformity in a thinner package, especially for the large-sized LCD panels with direct-type LED backlight system. Different reflective and transmissive characteristics managed by [...]

Application of direct growth ZnO nanaotetrapods in field emission device

Zhang Q., Zhang Y., Qi J., Zhang Q., Zhang Y., Liao Q., Ye N., University of Science and Technology, Beijing, CN

In summary, we demonstrate the ZnO nanotetrapod synthesized by a simple vapor phase transport process can be good field emission emitters. The field emission measurement as-synthesized materials reveal that these samples have low turn-on field [...]

Gallium Nitride Nanowire Enhanced High Intensity Discharge Luminance System

Tsai J.T.H., Liao Z.-J., Tatung University, TW

We produce an mercury-free, high efficiency HID lamp with the GaN nanostructure enhancer embedded. These dense GaN nanowires embedded into the HID electrodes can reduce 25% of ignition voltage and enhance the 17% of efficiency [...]

Applications of Memristor Crossbars for Pattern Recognition and Robotics

Mouttet B., George Mason University, US

The presentation will cover applications that I am developing for nanoscale hysteretic resistance materials (i.e. memristors) in pattern recognition circuitry as well as potential applications in robotics and artificial intelligence. Topics will include discussion of [...]

Analog Nanoelectronic Computation: I. Simulation of Dynamical Systems

Schmieder R.W., NanoLogic, Inc., US

We describe here a new paradigm for computation and computer design that has the potential for performance many orders of magnitude higher than conventional digital computers, especially for large-scale simulation of complex systems. The paradigm [...]

Effective Removal Module by Excimer Irradiation Assistance

Pa P.S., National Taipei University of Education, TW

A new design module using an excimer irradiation to assist in micro-electroremoval process as a precise recycle modus for the digital paper of the touch-panel offers a faster per-formance in removing the Indium-tin-oxide thin-films from [...]

ChiralMEM: a Novel Concept for High Density Magnetic Memory Technology

Atkinson D., Eastwood D.S., Bath M., Durham University, UK

ChiralMEM is a new approach to higher density magnetic random access memory for information technology [1-3]. It is based on memory cells capable of storing multiple bits of information per cell in contrast to the [...]

Yellow electroluminescence from sputtering synthesized aluminum nitride nanocomposite thin film containing aluminum nanocrystals

Yang M., Chen T.P., Liu Y., Wong J.I., Nanyang Technological University, SG

In this work, visible electroluminescence (EL) from aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films containing aluminum nanocrystals (nc-Al) prepared by a radio frequency sputtering technique is reported. The yellow EL shows a spectrum peaked at 565 nm. [...]

Transient Behavior of Integrated Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor Circuits

Xu Y., Srivastava A., Marulanda Jo.M., Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, US

In this paper, a semi-classical one-dimensional electron fluid model for carbon nanotube interconnects is built which is based on a classical two-dimensional electron fluid theory taking into account electron-electron repulsive forces, which are significant in [...]

Effect of doping on the radial breathing mode of carbon nanotubes

Gerber I.C., Puech P., Gannouni A., Bacsa W.S., CEMES-CNRS, FR

Doping CNTs is an attractive alternative to control the electronic conductivity of CNTs independent of their diameter. Highly conducting nanotubes are of interest for applications in transparent thin film electrodes. When doping CNTs through substitution [...]
