2020 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting To Highlight Innovative Devices for a Better Future
The 66th annual IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), to be held virtually December 12-16, 2020, will uphold the conference’s tradition as the world’s premier forum for the presentation of applied research in transistors and related devices, which are the building blocks of modern electronics technology.
Producing Technicolor Through Brain-Like Electronic Devices
Structural coloration is promised to be the display technology of the future as there is no fading – it does not use dyes – and enables low-power displays without strong external light source. However, the disadvantage of this technique is that once a device is made, it is impossible to change its properties so the reproducible colors remain fixed. Recently, a POSTECH research team has successfully obtained vivid colors by using semiconductor chips – not dyes – made by mimicking the human brain structure.
A New Way of Modulating Color Emissions from Transparent Films
