Pseudologic Optical Circuit Method for Advanced Color Sensing in IGZO Phototransistor Arrays with Chlorophyll Absorption Layers.

Recently, the elimination of color filters has become a key focus in photodetector research because of the potential to create more compact and cost-effective sensor systems. In this study, a novel concept of a filter-free color-discrimination photosensor using an indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO, In/Ga/Zn = 3.1:2.

Strain-Sensor-In-Pixel Technology for Resolution-Sustainable Stretchable Displays.

One of the limitations of stretchable displays is the severe degradation of resolution or the decrease in the number of pixels per unit area when stretched. Hence, we suggest a strain-sensor-in-pixel (S-SIP) system through the adoption of hidden pixels that are activated only during the stretch mode for maintaining the density of on-state pixels. For the S-SIP system, the gate and source electrodes of InGaZnO thin-film transistors (TFTs) in an existing pixel are connected to a resistive strain sensor through the facile and selective deposition of silver nanowires (AgNWs) via electrohydrodynamic-jet-printing.

Azimuthal rotation-controlled nanoinscribing for continuous patterning of period- and shape-tunable asymmetric nanogratings.

We present an azimuthal-rotation-controlled dynamic nanoinscribing (ARC-DNI) process for continuous and scalable fabrication of asymmetric nanograting structures with tunable periods and shape profiles. A sliced edge of a nanograting mold, which typically has a rectangular grating profile, slides over a polymeric substrate to induce its burr-free plastic deformation into a linear nanopattern. During this continuous nanoinscribing process, the "azimuthal angle," that is, the angle between the moving direction of the polymeric substrate and the mold's grating line orientation, can be controlled to tailor the period, geometrical shape, and profile of the inscribed nanopatterns.

Demonstration of a roll-to-roll-configurable, all-solution-based progressive assembly of flexible transducer devices consisting of functional nanowires on micropatterned electrodes.

We demonstrate continuous fabrication of flexible transducer devices consisting of interdigitated (IDT) Ag microelectrodes interconnected by ZnO nanowires (ZNWs), created via serially connected solution-processable micro- and nanofabrication processes. On an Ag layer obtainable from the mild thermal reduction of an ionic Ag ink coating, the roll-to-roll-driven photolithography process [termed photo roll lithography (PRL)] followed by wet-etching can be applied to continuously define the IDT microelectrode structure. Conformal ZNWs can then be grown selectively on the Ag electrodes to interconnect them via an Ag-mediated hydrothermal ZNW growth that does not require high-temperature seed sintering.
