Improving Optical Efficiency and Luminance of GaN-Based Micro-Light-Emitting Diodes for High-Resolution Displays via NH Plasma Pretreatment.

GaN-based micro-light-emitting diodes (Micro-LEDs) are regarded as promising light sources for near-eye-display applications such as augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) displays due to their high resolution, high brightness, and low power consumption. However, the application of Micro-LEDs in high-pixel-per-inch (PPI) displays is constrained by the drop in efficiency caused by sidewall defects in small-sized devices. In this study, a process method involving NH plasma pretreatment to reduce sidewall defects is proposed and investigated for enhancing the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of small-sized devices.

Compact pupil-expansion AR-HUD based on surface-relief grating.

Augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD) using diffractive waveguide is a challenging research field. It can drastically reduce the system volume compared with AR-HUD based on freeform mirror. However, one of the remaining challenges that affects the performance of the diffractive waveguide is to expand the eye-box while maintaining the illuminance uniformity.

A Review on Micro-LED Display Integrating Metasurface Structures.

Micro-LED display technology has been considered a promising candidate for near-eye display applications owing to its superior performance, such as having high brightness, high resolution, and high contrast. However, the realization of polarized and high-efficiency light extraction from Micro-LED arrays is still a significant problem to be addressed. Recently, by exploiting the capability of metasurfaces in wavefront modulation, researchers have achieved many excellent results by integrating metasurface structures with Micro-LEDs, including improving the light extraction efficiency, controlling the emission angle to achieve directional emission, and obtaining polarized Micro-LEDs.

Are women in China sexist toward other women? A study of Chinese college students.

This study assessed the extent to which social sexism affects Chinese women's perception and evaluation of other women's performance. A sample of 100 college women was selected in a top university in Beijing, China, and was asked to read six scholastic essays and then evaluate the quality of the essays and competence of the authors. Male and female names were randomly assigned as authors of the essays, and the respondents were blind to the arrangement.
