Full-color flexible laser displays based on random laser arrays

Flexible laser display is a critical component for an information output port in next-generation wearable devices.So far,the lack of appropriate display panels capable of providing sustained operation under rigorous mechanical conditions impedes the development of flexible laser displays with high reliability.Owing to the multiple scattering feedback mechanism,random lasers render high mechanical flexibility to withstand deformation,thus making them promising candidates for flexible display planes.However,the inability to obtain pixelated random laser arrays with highly ordered emissive geometries hinders the application of flexible laser displays in the wearable device.Here,for the first time,we demonstrate a mass fabrication strategy of full-color random laser arrays for flexible display panels.The feedback closed loops can be easily fulfilled in the pixels by multiple scatterings to generate durative random lasing.Due to the sustained operation of random laser,the display performance was well-maintained under mechanical deformations,and as a result,a flexible laser display panel was achieved.Our finding will provide a guidance for the development of flexible laser displays and laser illumination devices.

A Strategy of Stabilization via Active Energy-Exchange for Bistable Electrochromic Displays

As future energy-saving optoelectronics,bistable electrochromic(EC)materials/devices have high energy efficiency for potential applications as smart windows,displays,and information/energy storage,due to their ability tomaintain optical states without consuming energy.However,further development is hindered by the lack of in-depth understanding of related key factors and universally applicable design strategies to achieve bistability.

Global optimization of process parameters for low-temperature SiN_(x) based on orthogonal experiments

Low-temperature silicon nitride(SiNx)films deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD)have huge application potential in the flexible display.However,the applicability of SiNx largely depends on the film’s general properties,including flexibility,deposition rate,residual stress,elastic modulus,fracture strain,dielectric constant,refraction index,etc.Process optimization towards specific application by conventional experiment design needs lots of work due to the interaction of muti quality and process parameters.Therefore,an efficient global optimization approach for the process technology was proposed based on the Taguchi orthogonal experiment method considering muti-factor muti-responses.First of all,the Taguchi orthogonal experiment design and analysis was used to rank the influences of main process parameters on the quality characteristics,including radio frequency(RF)power,pressure,silane flow rate,ammonia flow rate and nitrogen flow rate.Then,the global optimization approach was carried out utilizing the multi-response optimizer considering the combination target of film formation rate,residual stress,dielectric constant,elastic modulus,fracture strain,refractive index.Finally,the optimal solution of the SiNx film was finally obtained and verified.
