In this study, we report on the application of a dielectric/ultra-thin metal/dielectric (DMD) multilayer consisting of ytterbium (Yb)-doped molybdenum oxide (MoO)/silver (Ag)/MoO stacked as the transparent cathode in top-emitting green quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLED). By optimizing the Yb doping ratio, we have highly improved the electron injection ability from 0.01 to 0.35. In addition, the dielectric/ultra-thin metal/dielectric (DMD) cathode also shows a low sheet resistance of only 12.2 Ω/sq, which is superior to the resistance of the commercially-available indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode (~15 Ω/sq). The DMD multilayer exhibits a maximum transmittance of 75% and an average transmittance of 70% over the visible range of 400-700 nm. The optimized DMD-based G-QLED has a smaller current leakage at low driving voltage. The optimized DMD-based G-QLED enhances the current density than that of G-QLED with indium zinc oxide (IZO) as a cathode. The fabricated DMD-based G-QLED shows a low turn-on voltage of 2.2 V, a high current efficiency of 38 cd/A, and external quantum efficiency of 9.8. These findings support the fabricated DMD multilayer as a promising cathode for transparent top-emitting diodes.

We propose a smartphone-based optical sectioning (SOS) microscope based on the HiLo technique, with a single smartphone replacing a high-cost illumination source and a camera sensor. We built our SOS with off-the-shelf optical, mechanical cage systems with 3D-printed adapters to seamlessly integrate the smartphone with the SOS main body. The liquid light guide can be integrated with the adapter, guiding the smartphone's LED light to the digital mirror device (DMD) with neglectable loss.

In this paper, we have designed a microfluidic diffractive optical element (MFDOE), which is processed by digital micromirror device (DMD) maskless lithography (DMDML) assisted femtosecond laser direct writing (FsLDW). MFDOE is a combination of photoresist-based multi-layer harmonic diffraction surface and liquid, realizing diffraction efficiency of more than 90% in the visible band.

With increasing demands and interest in flexible and foldable devices, much effort has been devoted to the development of flexible transparent electrodes. An in-depth understanding of failure mechanisms in nanoscale structure is crucial in developing stable, flexible electronics with long-term durability. The present work investigated the mechanoelectric characteristics of transparent conductive electrodes in the form of dielectric/metal/dielectric (DMD) sandwich structures under bending, including one time and repeated cyclic bending test, and provides an explanation of their failure mechanism.

In this paper, the physical properties of a new series of multilayer structures of oxide/metal/oxide type deposited on glass and plastic substrates were studied in the context of their use as transparent conductive layers for solar cells. The optical properties of TiO/Ag/TiO, TiO:Nb/Ag/TiO:Nb and NiO/Ag/NiO tri-layers were investigated by spectrophotometry and ellipsometry. Optimized ellipsometric modeling was employed in order to correlate the optical and electrical properties with the ones obtained by direct measurements.

In order to grow semi-transparent organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs), multilayer dielectric/metal/dielectric (D/M/D) structures are used as a transparent top electrode in inverted OPVs. Two different electrodes are probed, MoO/Ag/MoO and MoO/Ag/Cu:Ag/ZnS. Both of them exhibit high transmission in visible and small sheet resistance.
