The pulse width modulation (PWM) dimming mode features good linearity and has been widely used for driving high-brightness light-emitting diodes (HBLEDs), in which the brightness change is reached by modulating duty cycle of signal to regulate average current flowing through LEDs. However, current-illuminance characteristic curve most LEDs nonlinear nature. Namely, under same lighting power fed...

Some living organisms produce visible light (bioluminescence) for intra- or interspecific visual communication. Here, we describe a remarkable bioluminescent adaptation in the marine snail Hinea brasiliana. This species produces a luminous display in response to mechanical stimulation caused by encounters with other motile organisms. The light is produced from discrete areas on the snail's body...

The Système International des Unités (SI) base unit for photometry, the candela, has been realized by using absolute detectors rather than absolute sources. This change in method permits luminous intensity calibrations of standard lamps to be carried out with a relative expanded uncertainty (coverage factor k = 2, and thus a 2 standard deviation estimate) of 0.46 %, almost a factor-of-two impro...

coastal region of chah bahar port, sea of oman, was screened for the presence of bioluminescence bacteria for the first time. water samples were taken from surface and subsurface layers and immediately spread on nutrient seawater complete (swc) agar. luminous colonies were observed after an overnight incubation at 25°c. among twenty luminous isolates, four of them were selected for preliminary ...

In this paper, we report the effect of luminous behaviour of transparent gate Recessed Channel MOSFET (RC-MOSFET).Aggressive scaling is associated with a number of higher order effects such as short channel effects, hot carrier effects and heating effect which significantly affect the device performance. The Ray trace method in MOSFET has emerged to be the ultimate solution. The proposed device...

We present the results of CO(1–0) emission mapping with the IRAM interferometer, at ∼ 1 ′′ resolution, of the z=0.223 ultra-luminous starburst IRAS 11582+3020. This galaxy was selected from an IRAM-30m survey of 30 galaxies at moderate redshift (z ∼ 0.2-0.6) to explore galaxy evolution and in particular the star formation efficiency, in the redshift range filling the gap between local and very ...

Flip chip technology has been widely adopted in modern power light-emitting diode (LED) fabrications and its output efficiency is closely related to the submount material properties. Here, we present the electrical, optical and thermal properties of flip chip light-emitting diodes mounted on transparent sapphire and borosilicate glass which have shown a higher output luminous flux when compared...

This study demonstrates the application of DBR structure into the remote phosphor structure to improve the angular correlated color temperature (CCT) deviation in white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). In the experiment, the LED device with DBR structure yielded a higher luminous efficiency than a conventional structure. The CCT deviation can be improved from 1758K to 280K in a range of -70 to 70...

In this paper, we added CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) into anthracene-contained polymer. The photoluminescent (PL) characteristic of polymer/QD composite film could identify the energy transitions of anthracene-contained polymer and QDs. Furthermore, the electroluminescent (EL) characteristic of hybrid LED also identifies emission peaks of blue polymer and QDs. The maximum luminescence...
