To extract the confined waveguided light in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), inserting a low refractive index (RI) periodic structure between the anode and organic layer has been widely investigated as a promising technology.
Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems, or MEMS, is an enabling technology. It merges the versatility of semiconductor technology with the functionality of mechanical structures at a scale that opens entirely new application areas. MEMS technology enables smart phones to provide orientation, or fitness trackers to detect when we’re running ...
Performance requirements are high, making the growth very sensitive to defects and cracks along the device waveguide. Wafer bonding techniques are continuously improving. If transfer and bonding become the industry standard technique of integrated photonics production, so too would the efforts of developing bonded techniques of isolator ...
The current issue of Nature Electronics ("A flexible microsystem capable of controlled motion and actuation by wireless power transfer") is reporting on the development of the smallest microelectronic robot in the world, which is driven and controlled by a twin-jet-engine (see Figure 1). The microelectronic robot is 0.8 mm long, 0.8 mm wide and ...
The display system may include reflective displays such as liquid-crystal-on-silicon displays, microelectromechanical systems (MEMs) displays (sometimes referred to as digital micromirror devices), or other displays. Apple's patent FIG. 4 below illustrates an optical system that is very narrow which will allow it to be integrated within systems ...
