OLED Lighting Edges Closer to Commercial Reality

A Novel Lighting OLED Panel Design.

A novel OLED (organic light emitting diode) lighting panel, which uses a special layout design, can reduce the photolithography cycles and process costs and is more reliable. It only needs two steps of photolithography cycles, which include an ITO (InSnO compound transparent oxide) pattern and insulator pattern. There is no need for the metal bus pattern of the ordinary design. The OLED device ...

Majorana fermions inch closer to reality

The search for Majorana fermions is quickly becoming an obsession in the condensed-matter community. To understand the intense interest, I will begin with a practical definition: a Majorana fermion is a fermion that is its own antiparticle. While sophisticated particle physics experiments are testing for Majorana character in neutrinos propagating in three dimensions [1], solid state physicists...

Brain-machine interface: closer to therapeutic reality?

Various neurological diseases and traumatic injuries permanently abolish sensorimotor functions, dramatically aff ecting the quality of life of millions of individuals. Progress continues in the development of neural repair interventions to enhance functional recovery after neuromotor disorders in animals. So far, no interventions have shown effi cacy in the restoration of useful sensorimotor f...

GaN Enabled OLED Driver for Automotive Lighting Application

The impressive features, both in a design and technical aspect, of the Organic LED (OLED) lighting technology have attracted the interest of the research and commercial world and have recently be in the spotlight of the automotive industries, like the Lighting Department of Audi. Some of the most exciting features of these lights are the flexibility, transparency and the very small thickness. I...
