Development of a high‐resolution RGBW flexible display using a white organic light‐emitting diode with microcavity structure and that of a side‐roll touch panel

In this study, white organic electroluminescent devices with microcavity structures were developed. A flexible high‐resolution active‐matrix organic light‐emitting diode display with low power consumption using red, green, blue, and white sub‐pixels formed by a color‐filter method was fabricated. In addition, a side‐roll touch display was developed in combination with a capacitive flexible touch screen.     

Radical styrene polymerization in the presence of trace levels of sulfonic acids

The bulk polymerization of styrene in the presence of the vinyl functional sulfonic acid 2‐sulfoethylmethacrylate (SEM) was found to have utility for making polystyrenes with narrow polydispersity, bimodal polydispersity, and ultrahigh molecular weight at fast polymerization rates. Narrow polydispersity polymers were made by the addition of SEM to nitroxide‐mediated polymerizations. Bimodal polydispersity polymers were made by the ultrahigh molecular weight component being made in the presence of SEM in the absence of an initiator and the low molecular weight component being made in the presence of an initiator and/or chain‐transfer agent. Ultrahigh molecular weight monomodal polystyrenes were prepared at much faster polymerization rates than possible via spontaneous polymerization in the absence of SEM. SEM was found to be more effective, by an order of magnitude, than camphor sulfonic acid on a weight basis and, because it is copolymerized into the polymer chain, should not lead to corrosion problems during fabrication of the polymer. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Investigation into etching mechanism of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films treated in helium and oxygenated‐helium atmospheric plasmas

This research makes an investigation into the etching mechanism of atmospheric plasma conditions on the surface of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films. Two types of untreated PET films (S/200 and S/500) were exposed to plasma for 0 to 5.0 min in 30‐s increments. The first set of each film type was treated in helium plasma, while the second was treated in oxygenated‐helium plasma. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was used to characterize pre‐ and post‐exposure films. Weight changes and the degree of solubility were also determined. Based on peak area results, the percent crystallinity of PET S/200 increased by an average of 4.57% (helium treated) and 13.56% (oxygenated‐helium treated), while the S/500 showed only a small increase. There was no significant change in the melting or crystallization temperatures of either film type, indicating a decrease in amorphous content versus an increase in crystalline material. Weight loss analysis supports this theory. Solubility testing revealed a continual decrease in swelling as exposure time was increased. A model was developed to predict the change in the degree of solubility for polyphase surfaces considering the etching rate per phase. The model was applied to PET with good correlation between the model and experimental data. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 94: 2383–2389, 2004     

Characterisation and tribological evaluation of nitrogen-containing molybdenum–copper PVD metallic nanocomposite films

This paper reports on the structural, mechanical and tribological properties of molybdenum–copper nanocomposite films ‘doped’ with small amounts of nitrogen, which contain either no nitride phase (i.e. the nitrogen is held in interstitial solid solution, mainly in molybdenum) or small amounts of lower nitrides (i.e. Mo₂N). All films were deposited on Si wafers, AISI M2 high speed steel and AISI 316 stainless steel by reactive sputtering using a hot-filament-enhanced dc unbalanced magnetron system. A systematic approach was adopted to investigate the evolution of metal/metal and ceramic/metal phase combinations with increasing nitrogen content (up to 40 at.% N) in the film. Coating composition and microstructure were determined by cross-sectional TEM, SEM and XPS. XRD was used to identify (where possible) metallic and metal-nitride phases. Mechanical properties such as hardness and elastic modulus were determined by low load Knoop and instrumented Vickers indentation measurements. Reciprocating sliding, micro-abrasion and impact tests were performed to assess tribological performance.

It was found that increasing the nitrogen gas flow rate from 0 to 15 sccm (and therefore nitrogen content in the film from 0 to 24 at.% N), refined significantly the coating microstructure from columnar to a dense and more equiaxed morphology, increasing the hardness whilst maintaining (almost constant) elastic modulus values, close to that of molybdenum metal. Further increases in the nitrogen gas flow rate resulted in films that appeared to contain significant fractions of the Mo₂N ceramic phase. SEM and cross-sectional TEM analyses of the film deposited at a nitrogen flow rate of 20 sccm (containing 36 at.% N) demonstrated a microstructure consisting of 50–100 nm wide columns, which contain small regions of contrast in dark-field images, of the order of 3–5 nm wide. A maximum hardness of 32 GPa and the highest hardness/modulus ratio was however found in the (predominantly metallic) film deposited at a nitrogen gas flow rate of 15 sccm. This film also performed best in both micro-abrasion and impact wear tests; in contrast, the ‘ceramic’ film (deposited at 20 sccm nitrogen flow rate) performed better in reciprocating sliding wear.     

Repeatedly foldable AMOLED display

In this study, a 5.9‐inch foldable active‐matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) display was developed. A folding test was performed repeatedly. The display survived the folding test (100,000 folds) with a curvature radius of 2 mm. To protect an organic light emitting diode (OLED) against moisture, inorganic passivation layers are provided on the upper and lower sides of the flexible display. Using our transfer technology, high density passivation layers can be obtained. The measured water vapor transmission rate of the layer is 7 × 10^?6 g/m²?day or less, which improves OLED reliability. With these techniques, we have developed a book‐type display, which is repeatedly foldable like a book, and a tri‐fold display including a display area, which is foldable in three.     

Shakespeare vs. fletcher: A stylometric analysis by radial basis functions

In this paper we show, for the first time, how Radial Basis Function (RBF) network techniques can be used to explore questions surrounding authorship of historic documents. The paper illustrates the technical and practical aspects of RBF's, using data extracted from works written in the early 17th century by William Shakespeare and his contemporary John Fletcher. We also present benchmark comparisons with other standard techniques for contrast and comparison.David Lowe is Professor of Neural Computing at Aston University, UK.

Comparison of CT and MR imaging in staging of neck metastases

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether adaptive cytoprotection exists in human intestinal cells under in vitro conditions and what role, if any, endogenous prostaglandins or calcium may play in mediating this protective response. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Adaptive cytoprotection can be defined as that process whereby the administration of a low concentration of a damaging agent, termed a "mild irritant," which by itself is not injurious, can attenuate gastrointestinal mucosal injury subsequently induced by the application of higher concentrations of the same or other necrotizing agents. Despite substantial investigation, the mediator or mediators of adaptive cytoprotection remain poorly understood. METHODS: Postconfluent Caco-2 cells were used in all experiments. Cellular death was quantitated using a dual-component fluorescent assay. Changes in intracellular calcium concentration were quantitated by measuring fluorescent signal changes of the single wavelength calcium indicator (Fluo-3). Finally, prostaglandin E2 release into the media was quantitated by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: Pretreatment of Caco-2 cells with low concentrations of ethanol (mild irritant) significantly attenuated injury induced by higher damaging concentrations of ethanol. The protection conferred by the mild irritant was directly dependent on both the concentration of the irritant used and the duration of exposure and was abrogated when cells were pretreated with an endogenous prostaglandin inhibitor (indomethacin) or if the mild irritant was administered in calcium-free media. Cells exposed to ethanol had a significant and concentration-dependent increase in intracellular calcium concentration, an effect that was highly related to cellular injury. Pretreatment with a mild irritant significantly decreased intracellular calcium increases induced by not only ethanol but also by a calcium ionophore (A23187). Cells treated with low concentrations of ethanol demonstrated no significant elevation in prostaglandin E2 release. CONCLUSIONS: Adaptive cytoprotection induced by ethanol exists in human colonocytes under in vitro conditions independent of mucosal blood flow, neural innervation, or circulating humoral factors. The authors' data suggest that this response does not require endogenous prostaglandin synthesis but may involve processes whereby intracellular calcium accumulation is prevented.
