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...

In this work the growth and the characterization of red emitting triple-layer electroluminescent organic devices using vacuum deposited (Eu(TTA)3(TPPO)2) europium complex as emitting layer are described. The observed electroluminescence (EL) is characteristic of the Eu emission. In this device the hole transport layer is obtained using a thin lm of 1-(3-methylphenyl)1,2,3,4 tetrahydroquinoline-...

An efficient double-sided emitting OLED employing a stacked geometry has been fabricated. It uses a reflective composite silver electrode as the middle reflective layer. It can be used in a passive matrix (PM) driving scheme with independent control of both displays. Superior electroluminescent (EL) performance of the OLED on both (“bottom” and “top”) sides can be easily achieved without interf...

Petrejoides salvadorae sp. nov. is described from cloud forest at 2300m (El Trifinio). It is closely related to P. reyesi Schuster from Honduras.

A high contrast electroluminescent (EL) device structure is presented. The diffuse luminous reflectivity from the metal/dielectric/phosphor/indium-tin-oxide/glass EL device structure is 3%. A Eu-doped GaN phosphor is used to demonstrate the contrast-enhanced operation. Low reflectivity is achieved by inserting a light-absorbing black thick-film BaTiO3 layer between the phosphor and the rear met...

Until now most work on colloidal quantum dot-light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) has been focused on the improvement of the electroluminescent (EL) performance of monochromatic devices, and multi-colored white QLEDs comprising more than one type of QD emitter have been rarely investigated. To demonstrate a white EL as a result of color mixing between blue and yellow, herein a unique combination of tw...

El Niño (The Christ Child) is named for the unusual warm current of water flowing south near the coast of Peru whose onset is often felt near Christmas. This mostly regular event has a great effect on the Peruvian anchovy industry, at one time, one of the most productive fisheries in the world. When cold-water upwelling stops reducing the amount of nutrients in the surface waters off the South ...

An anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template was formed by a two-step anodization process. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were successfully synthesized along with AAO pores and the diameters of CNTs equaled those of AAO pores. The lengths of CNTs during a chemical vapor deposition synthesized process on the AAO template were effectively controlled. These AAO-CNTs exhibit excellent field emission with a low...
