Yb:MoO3/Ag/MoO3 Multilayer Transparent Top Cathode for Top-Emitting Green Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:In this study, we report on the application of a dielectric/ultra-thin metal/dielectric (DMD) multilayer consisting of ytterbium (Yb)-doped molybdenum oxide (MoO3)/silver (Ag)/MoO3 stacked as the transparent cathode in top-emitting green quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLED). By optimizing the Yb doping ratio, we have highly improved the electron injection ability from 0.01 to 0.35. In addition, the dielectric/ultra-thin metal/dielectric (DMD) cathode also shows a low sheet resistance of only 12.2 ?/sq, which is superior to the resistance of the commercially-available indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode (~15 ?/sq). The DMD multilayer exhibits a maximum transmittance of 75% and an average transmittance of 70% over the visible range of 400-700 nm. The optimized DMD-based G-QLED has a smaller current leakage at low driving voltage. The optimized DMD-based G-QLED enhances the current density than that of G-QLED with indium zinc oxide (IZO) as a cathode. The fabricated DMD-based G-QLED shows a low turn-on voltage of 2.2 V, a high current efficiency of 38 cd/A, and external quantum efficiency of 9.8. These findings support the fabricated DMD multilayer as a promising cathode for transparent top-emitting diodes.

High quality transparent conductive Ag-based barium stannate multilayer flexible thin films.

Project description:Transparent conductive multilayer thin films of silver (Ag)-embedded barium stannate (BaSnO3) structures have been deposited onto flexible polycarbonate substrates by magnetron sputtering at room temperature to develop an indium free transparent flexible electrode. The effect of thicknesses of Ag mid-layer and barium stannate layers on optical and electrical properties were investigated, and the mechanisms of conduction and transmittance were discussed. The highest value of figure of merit is 25.5 × 10-3 Ω-1 for the BaSnO3/Ag/BaSnO3 multilayer flexible thin films with 9 nm thick silver mid-layer and 50 nm thick barium stannate layers, while the average optical transmittance in the visible range from 380 to 780 nm is above 87%, the resistivity is 9.66 × 10-5 Ω · cm, and the sheet resistance is 9.89 Ω/sq. The change rate of resistivity is under 10% after repeated bending of the multilayer flexible thin films. These results indicate that Ag-based barium stannate multilayer flexible thin films can be used as transparent flexible electrodes in various flexible optoelectronic devices.

Silver Nanowire-IZO-Conducting Polymer Hybrids for Flexible and Transparent Conductive Electrodes for Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:Solution-processed silver nanowire (AgNW) has been considered as a promising material for next-generation flexible transparent conductive electrodes. However, despite the advantages of AgNWs, some of their intrinsic drawbacks, such as large surface roughness and poor interconnection between wires, limit their practical application in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Herein, we report a high-performance AgNW-based hybrid electrode composed of indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO) and poly (3,4-ethylenediowythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) [PEDOT:PSS]. The IZO layer protects the underlying AgNWs from oxidation and corrosion and tightly fuses the wires together and to the substrate. The PEDOT:PSS effectively reduces surface roughness and increases the hybrid films' transmittance. The fabricated electrodes exhibited a low sheet resistance of 5.9??sq-1 with high transmittance of 86% at 550?nm. The optical, electrical, and mechanical properties of the AgNW-based hybrid films were investigated in detail to determine the structure-property relations, and whether optical or electrical properties could be controlled with variation in each layer's thickness to satisfy different requirements for different applications. Flexible OLEDs (f-OLEDs) were successfully fabricated on the hybrid electrodes to prove their applicability; their performance was even better than those on commercial indium doped tin oxide (ITO) electrodes.

Highly efficient near ultraviolet organic light-emitting diode based on a meta-linked donor-acceptor molecule.

Project description:A novel near ultraviolet (NUV) emitter with a meta-linked donor-acceptor (D-A) structure between triphenylamine (TPA) and phenanthroimidazole (PPI), mTPA-PPI, was designed and synthesized. This molecular design is expected to resolve the conflict between the non-red-shifted emission and the introduction of a charge-transfer (CT) state in the D-A system, aiming at NUV organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with high-efficiency and colour-purity. Theoretical calculations and photophysical experiments were implemented to verify the unique excited state properties of mTPA-PPI. The mTPA-PPI device exhibited excellent NUV electroluminescence (EL) performance with an emission peak at 404 nm, a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of only 47 nm corresponding to a CIE coordinate of (0.161, 0.049), and a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 3.33%, which is among the best results for NUV OLEDs. This work not only demonstrates the promising potential of mTPA-PPI in NUV OLEDs, but also provides a valuable strategy for the rational design of NUV materials by using the meta-linked D-A architecture.

Multi-spectral imaging with infrared sensitive organic light emitting diode.

Project description:Commercially available near-infrared (IR) imagers are fabricated by integrating expensive epitaxial grown III-V compound semiconductor sensors with Si-based readout integrated circuits (ROIC) by indium bump bonding which significantly increases the fabrication costs of these image sensors. Furthermore, these typical III-V compound semiconductors are not sensitive to the visible region and thus cannot be used for multi-spectral (visible to near-IR) sensing. Here, a low cost infrared (IR) imaging camera is demonstrated with a commercially available digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera and an IR sensitive organic light emitting diode (IR-OLED). With an IR-OLED, IR images at a wavelength of 1.2 µm are directly converted to visible images which are then recorded in a Si-CMOS DSLR camera. This multi-spectral imaging system is capable of capturing images at wavelengths in the near-infrared as well as visible regions.

Bactericidal effects of 310 nm ultraviolet light-emitting diode irradiation on oral bacteria.

Project description:BackgroundUltraviolet (UV) light is used for phototherapy in dermatology, and UVB light (around 310 nm) is effective for treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. In addition, it is known that UVC light (around 265 nm) has a bactericidal effect, but little is known about the bactericidal effect of UVB light. In this study, we examined the bactericidal effects of UVB-light emitting diode (LED) irradiation on oral bacteria to explore the possibility of using a 310 nm UVB-LED irradiation device for treatment of oral infectious diseases.MethodsWe prepared a UVB (310 nm) LED device for intraoral use to examine bactericidal effects on Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sauguinis, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Fusobacterium nucleatum and also to examine the cytotoxicity to a human oral epithelial cell line (Ca9-22). We also examined the production of nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide from Ca9-22 cells after irradiation with UVB-LED light.ResultsIrradiation with the 310 nm UVB-LED at 105 mJ/cm2 showed 30-50% bactericidal activity to oral bacteria, though 17.1 mJ/cm2 irradiation with the 265 nm UVC-LED completely killed the bacteria. Ca9-22 cells were strongly injured by irradiation with the 265 nm UVC-LED but were not harmed by irradiation with the 310 nm UVB-LED. Nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide were produced by Ca9-22 cells with irradiation using the 310 nm UVB-LED. P. gingivalis was killed by applying small amounts of those reactive oxygen species (ROS) in culture, but other bacteria showed low sensitivity to the ROS.ConclusionsNarrowband UVB-LED irradiation exhibited a weak bactericidal effect on oral bacteria but showed low toxicity to gingival epithelial cells. Its irradiation also induces the production of ROS from oral epithelial cells and may enhance bactericidal activity to specific periodontopathic bacteria. It may be useful as a new adjunctive therapy for periodontitis.

Quantitative evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 inactivation using a deep ultraviolet light-emitting diode.

Project description:Inactivation technology for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is certainly a critical measure to mitigate the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A deep ultraviolet light-emitting diode (DUV-LED) would be a promising candidate to inactivate SARS-CoV-2, based on the well-known antiviral effects of DUV on microorganisms and viruses. However, due to variations in the inactivation effects across different viruses, quantitative evaluations of the inactivation profile of SARS-CoV-2 by DUV-LED irradiation need to be performed. In the present study, we quantify the irradiation dose of DUV-LED necessary to inactivate SARS-CoV-2. For this purpose, we determined the culture media suitable for the irradiation of SARS-CoV-2 and optimized the irradiation apparatus using commercially available DUV-LEDs that operate at a center wavelength of 265, 280, or 300 nm. Under these conditions, we successfully analyzed the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and the irradiation dose of the DUV-LEDs at each wavelength without irrelevant biological effects. In conclusion, total doses of 1.8 mJ/cm2 for 265 nm, 3.0 mJ/cm2 for 280 nm, and 23 mJ/cm2 for 300 nm are required to inactivate 99.9% of SARS-CoV-2. Our results provide quantitative antiviral effects of DUV irradiation on SARS-CoV-2, serving as basic knowledge of inactivation technologies against SARS-CoV-2.

Rapid inactivation of Dabie bandavirus (SFTSV) by irradiation with deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diode.

Project description:Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) caused by Dabie bandavirus (SFTSV) is a serious public health concern in endemic areas, particularly in Asian and Southeast Asian countries. SFTSV is transmitted by direct contact with body fluids from infected humans and animals. Therefore, environmental hygiene in hospitals and veterinary clinics in SFTSV-endemic areas is highly important. This study assessed the effects of continuous and intermittent irradiation with deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diode (DUV-LED) on SFTSV. Evaluation was performed by conducting plaque assay in which SFTSV irradiated with deep-ultraviolet (DUV; 280 ± 5 nm) was inoculated onto Vero cells. The results showed that continuous and intermittent irradiation for 5 s, resulting in 18.75 mJ/cm2 of cumulative UV exposure, led to a >2.7 and >2.9 log reduction, respectively, corresponding to a >99.8% reduction in infectivity. These results demonstrate that DUV can be utilized for inactivation of SFTSV to maintain environmental hygiene in hospitals and veterinary clinics in endemic countries.

Scalable visible light 3D printing and bioprinting using an organic light-emitting diode microdisplay

Project description:Summary To address current unmet needs in terms of scalability and material biocompatibility for future photocrosslinking-based additive manufacturing technologies, emergent platform designs are in inexorable demand. In particular, a shift from the present use of cell-damaging UV light sources in light-based three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting methods demands new platforms. We adopted an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) microdisplay as a digital visible light modulator to create a 3D printing platform modality that offers scalability and multi-material capability while forgoing the need for UV photocrosslinking. We formulate biocompatible inks that are visible light-crosslinkable with relatively quick photoinitiation rates. We demonstrated successful attachment and rapid growth of primary human dermal fibroblast-adult (HDF-a) cells on biological substrates fabricated using the OLED platform. This platform incites new possibilities by providing a simple-yet-effective means for low-cost, high-throughput, and multi-material 3D fabrication of functional structures made of polymers, ceramic composites, and biomaterials. Graphical abstract Highlights • We present organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) as a modality of 3D printing• OLED 3D printing offers scalability and high-throughput fabrication at low cost• Averting UV crosslinking, visible light is well-positioned for bioprinted scaffolds• The platform is also capable of multi-material printing Bioelectrochemistry; Bioengineering; Devices
