  • Publication number: 20230361243
    Abstract: Provided is a light-emitting quantum dot coated with at least one blue-light absorption layer, including an alloy type core consisting of Cd, Se, Zn, and S, a first shell layer having a zinc blende structure and being coated on the surface of the alloy core, and at least one second shell layer having a wurtzite structure and being coated on a surface of the first shell layer, wherein the element ratio of each of Zn and S accounts for 30 to 50% of the overall core, and the content of Cd and Se gradually decreases outward from the core center. Also provided is a method for preparing the core-shell type light-emitting quantum dot. By having the alloy core, the first shell layer with a zinc blende structure, and the second shell layer with a wurtzite structure, the core-shell type quantum dot can achieve quantum efficiency of more than 95% and have high-temperature resistance and excellent water- and oxygen-barrier performance.

  • Patent number: 10672464
    Abstract: A method for achieving a feedforward operation and/or a recurrent operation in an artificial neural network having a self-training learning function. The forgoing artificial neural network (ANN) comprises M×N numbers nonvolatile memory cells that are arranged to form a memory array, and the nonvolatile memory cell can be a non-overlapped implementation (NOI) MOSFET, a RRAM element, a PCM element, a MRAM element, or a SONOS element. By applying this novel method to the ANN, it is able to perform the feedforward and recurrent operations in the M×N numbers of nonvolatile memory cells storing with different bit weights that are formed by injected electrons through the self-training learning function of the ANN.
