Angle Dependent 3-D Directional Patterning of Flexible Films by Infrared Laser

Laser direct patterning (LDP) technology has attracted great attention due to its process simplification and environmental friendliness. It is replacing the existing photo-lithography technology. Infrared (IR) laser equipment also has advantages such as low cost and long duration, although it is difficult to implement fine line width compared to ultraviolet (UV) or excimer laser. Therefore, it is very important to realize 3-D patterning system based on cheap infrared laser system. In this paper, 3-D infrared laser direct patterning system was designed by introducing an etching process on Ag paste/ITO/PET flexible film. Such 3-D patterned Ag paste/ITO/PET flexible films showed feasibility and effectiveness of 3-D laser directional patterning technologies. Etch ratio of the fabricated Ag paste/ITO/PET flexible film after 3-D infrared laser direct patterning was then systematically investigated.

Recycled Thermal Energy from High Power Light Emitting Diode Light Source

In this research, the recycled electrical energy from wasted thermal energy in high power Light Emitting Diode (LED) system will be investigated. The luminous efficiency of lights has been improved in recent years by employing the high power LED system, therefore energy efficiency was improved compared with that of typical lighting sources. To increase energy efficiency of high power LED system further, wasted thermal energy should be re-considered. Therefore, wasted thermal energy was collected and re-used them as electrical energy. The increased electrical efficiency of high power LED devices was accomplished by considering the recycled heat energy, which is wasted thermal energy from the LED. In this work, increased electrical efficiency will be considered and investigated by employing the high power LED system, which has high thermal loss during the operating time. For this research, well designed thermoelement with heat radiation system was employed to enhance the collecting thermal energy from the LED system, and then convert it as recycled electrical energy.

Pyroelectric and Piezoelectric Properties of (1−x)Na0.5K0.5NbO3-xBiScO3 Lead-Free Ceramics

In this research, the pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties of (1 - x)Na0.5K0.5NbO3-xBiScO3 ceramics were investigated and analyzed. (Na, K)NbO3 based (1 - x)Na0.5K0.5NbO3-xBiScO3 ceramics were prepared by a conventional mixed oxide method. As the substituent, BiScO3 material enhanced the sintering mechanism of NKN ceramic, which improved the density, pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties, without any structural distortion. In this study, the structural dependent improved piezoelectric properties of (1 - x)Na0.5K0.5NbO3-xBiScO3 ceramics were investigated with various sintering temperatures. Also, the pyroelectric properties of (1 - x)Na0.5K0.5NbO3-xBiScO3 ceramics were observed up to 200 °C for the devices applications. The crystalline structures of the (1-x)Na0.5K0.5NbO3-x BiScO3 ceramics were measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microstructure was examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). In addition, piezo-electric charge coefficient d33 and pyroelectric coefficient will be discussed.
