The properties and function of an anionic conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE)-containing ion-conducting polyethylene oxide pendant (PF(PEO)CO(2)Na) as electron injection layers (EILs) in polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) are investigated. A primary goal was to design a CPE structure that would enable acceleration of the device temporal response through facilitation of ion motion. Pristine PLEDs containing PF(PEO)CO(2)Na exhibit luminance response times on the order of tenths of seconds. This delay is attributed to the formation of ordered structures within the CPE film, as observed by atomic force microscopy. Complementary evidence is provided by electron transport measurements. The ordered structures are believed to slow ion migration within the CPE EIL and hence result in a longer temporal response time. It is possible to accelerate the response by a combination of thermal and voltage treatments that "lock" ions within the interfaces adjacent to PF(PEO)CO(2)Na. PLED devices with luminance response times of microseconds, a 10(5) fold enhancement, can therefore be achieved. Faster luminance response time opens up the application of PLEDs with CPE layers in display technologies.

Pupil responses are commonly used to provide insight into visual perception, autonomic control, cognition, and various brain disorders. However, making inferences from pupil data can be complicated by nonlinearities in pupil dynamics and variability within and across individuals, which challenge the assumptions of linearity or group-level homogeneity required for common analysis methods. In this study, we evaluated luminance evoked pupil dynamics in young healthy adults (n = 10, M:F = 5:5, ages 19-25 years) by identifying nonlinearities, variability, and conserved relationships across individuals to improve the ability to make inferences from pupil data.

In digital image diagnosis using medical displays, it is crucial to rigorously manage display devices to ensure appropriate image quality and diagnostic safety. The aim of this study was to develop a model for the efficient quality control (QC) of medical displays, specifically addressing the measurement items of contrast response and maximum luminance as part of constancy testing, and to evaluate its performance. In addition, the study focused on whether these tasks could be addressed using a multitasking strategy.

With the development and improvement of analysis and detection systems, low-toxicity and harmless detection systems have received much attention, especially in the field of food detection. In this paper, a low-toxicity dual-emission molecularly imprinted fluorescence sensor (CdTe QDs@SiO/N-CDs@MIPs) was successfully designed for highly selective recognition and visual detection of tetracycline (TC) in food samples. Specifically, the non-toxic blue-emission N-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) with high luminous performance acted as the response signals to contact TC via the covalent bond between amino and carboxyl groups.

A neural theory of human lightness computation is described and computer-simulated. The theory proposes that lightness is derived from transient ON and OFF cell responses in the early visual pathways that have different characteristic neural gains and that are generated by fixational eye movements (FEMs) as the eyes transit luminance edges in the image. The ON and OFF responses are combined with corollary discharge signals that encode the eye movement direction to create directionally selective ON and OFF responses.
