Efficient white organic light-emitting diodes are fabricated with the blue and red electroluminescent (EL) units electrically connected in a stacked tandem structure by using a transparent doped organic p/n junction. The blue and red EL units consist of the light-emitting layer of 1,4-bis(2,2-diphenyl vinyl)benzene (DPVBi) and 4-dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-[2-(2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H,5H-benzo[i,j] quinolizin-8-yl)vinyl]-4H-pyran) (DCM2) doped tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum $(Alq_3)$, respectively. The organic p-n junction consists of ${\alpha}-NPD$ doped with $FeCl_3$ (15 % by weight ratio) and $Alq_3$ doped with Li (10 %). The EL spectra exhibit two peaks at 448 and 606 nm, resulting in white light-emission with the Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of (0.36, 0.24). The tandem device shows the quantum efficiency of about 2.2 % at a luminance of 100 $cd/m^2$, higher than individual blue and red EL devices.

The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is being deployed by GSM network operators world-wide, and promises to provide users with “always-on” data access at bandwidths comparable to that of conventional fixed-wire telephone modems. However, many users have found the reality to be rather different, experiencing very disappointing performance when, for example, browsing the web over GPRS. In this paper, we examine the causes, and show how unfortunate interactions between the GPRS link characteristics and TCP/IP protocols lead to poor performance. A performance characterization of the GPRS link-layer is presented, determined through extensive measurements taken over production networks. We present measurements of packet loss rates, bandwidth availability, link stability, and round-trip time. The effect these characteristics have on TCP behavior are examined, demonstrating how they can result in poor link utilization, excessive packet queueing, and slow recovery from packet losses. Further, we show that the HTTP protocol can compound these issues, leading to dire WWW performance. We go on to show how the use of a transparent proxy interposed near the wired-wireless border can be used to alleviate many of these performance issues without requiring changes to either client or server end systems.

Highly transparent, thin polythiophene (PT) films were successfully synthesized by the plasma polymerization of thiophene. These films were doped with $O_2$ plasma by in-situ doping technique. The plasma polymerized PT films were deposited at about 50 to 340 nm/min, depending on the temperature and plasma power. A resultant transparency as high as 85% was achieved. The plasma polymerized PT films exhibited the characteristics of an insulator or semiconductor ($10^{10{\sim}12}{\Omega}/{\Box}$, $10^{-7}S/cm$). The conductivity was immediately increased up to $10{\Omega}/{\Box}$ and $10^{-2}S/cm$, when doped with $O_2$ plasma. The plasma-doped PT films exhibited an increased surface roughness resulting in a decreased contact angle. However, the thickness of the PT layer was partially decomposed and/or etched with increasing voltage above 40 W.

Titanium-doped indium oxide (ITiO) films were prepared on soda-lime glass substrate using a magnetic null discharge (MND) sputter source. The ITiO thin films containing 10wt.% Ti showed the minimum resistivity of $\rho=5.5{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}-cm$. The optical transmittance increases from 70% at 450 nm to 80% at 700 nm in visible spectrum. Photoelectron peaks for In 3d, Ti 2p, O 1s and C1s were detected for the ITiO film in the binding energy range of 0 to 1100 eV. The surface roughness of the sample showed a change from 10 nm to 50 nm. The ITiO film used for TCO layer of DSCs exhibited an energy conversion efficiency of about 3.8% at light intensity of 100 mW/$cm^2$.

A simple method for the fabrication of porous nano-master for the anti-reflection effect on the transparent substrates is presented. In the conventional fabrication methods for antireflective surface, coating method using materials with low refractive index has usually been used. However, it is required to have a high cost and long processing time for mass production. In this paper, we developed a porous nano-master with anti-reflective surface for the molding stamper of the injection mold, hot embossing and UV imprinting by using the aluminum anodizing process. Through two-step anodizing and etching processes, a porous nano-master with anti-reflective surface was fabricated at the large area. Pattern size Pore diameter and inter-pore distance are about 130nm and 200nm, respectively. In order to replicate anti-reflective structure, hot embossing process was performed by varying the processing parameters such as temperature, pressure and embossing time etc. Finally, antireflective surface can be successfully obtained after etching process to remove selectively silicon layer of AAO master.

The Al:Au double-layer metal electrode for use in transparent, dual emission of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) was fabricated. The electrode of Al:Au metals with various thicknesses was deposited by the vacuum thermal evaporation technique. For Al thickness of 1 nm, a bottom luminance of $4880\;cd/m^2$ was observed at 8 V. Otherwise, top luminance of $2020\;cd/m^2$ were observed at 8 V. In addition, the threshold voltages of the electrodes were 2.2 V. It was forward that the inserting 1 nm Al between LiF and Au enhanced electron injection with tunneling effect.

Power conversion efficiency of the red and green phosphors was measured and analyzed. Two different samples of phosphors of thickness 50 ${\mu}m$ were prepared: one was the phosphor layer coated on the transparent substrate and the other was prepared on the reflective substrate. The 445 nm blue laser diode beam was used as the exciting beam. The conversion efficiencies of the red and green phosphor layers were 41.4% and 46%, respectively. The quantum efficiencies of the red and green phosphors were 60.4% and 53.5%, respectively.

Proper water management is crucial for the efficient operation of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell. Especially, for automotive applications, A novel water management that can avoid both membrane dry-out and flooding is a very important task to achieve good performance and efficiency of PEM fuel cells. The aim of this study is to investigate the liquid water behavior on the gas diffusion layer (GDL) surface and in the cathode flow channel of a PEM unit fuel cell under flooding conditions. For this purpose, a transparent unit fuel cell is devised and fabricated by modifying the conventional PEM fuel cell design. The results of water droplet behavior under flooding conditions are mainly presented. The water distributions in the cathode flow channels with cell operating voltage are also compared and analyzed. Through this work, it is expected that the data obtained from this fundamental study can be effectively used to establish the basic water management strategy in terms of water removal from the flow channels in a PEM fuel cell stack.

In this paper, the architecture of the LAN Emulation service defined by the ATM Forum is introduced. In order to use the vast base of the existing LAN application software in ATM network. LAN Emulation provides a MAC layer service emulating connectionless services of legacy LANs on ATM networks. LAN Emulation forms a logical overlay network, called and emulated LAN, on top of an ATM network. LAN Emulation service comprises a set of LAN Emulation Clients(LECs) residing in end stations of an emulated LAN and three logical service entities : LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS), LAN Emulation Server(LES). and Broadcast and Unknown Server(BUS). LEC utilizes the services provided by these three servers to provide seamless interworking between legacy LANs and ATM networks, and to support transparent communications between LAN applications over ATM.

In the future, plastic based system will play a crucial role in modem life, for examples, transparent display or disposable electronics and so on. In this paper, we introduced a new method to fabricate the metal line on the plastic substrate. Metal lines were fabricated by hot embossing and CMP process on PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) substrates. A Si mold was made by wet etching process and a PMMA wafer was cut off from I mm thick PMMA sheet. A 100 nm thick Al was deposited on PMMA wafers. The Al deposited PMMA wafer and the Si mold carefully sandwiched which was directly imprinted by hot embossing. After imprinting process, a residual Al layer was removed by CMP process. Finally, we found the entire process may be very useful to fabricate the metal line on plastic substrates.
