  • Patent number: 8598568
    Abstract: Provided are a photodetector (PD) using a graphene thin film and nanoparticles and a method of fabricating the same. The PD includes a graphene thin film having a sheet shape formed by means of a graphene deposition process using a vapor-phase carbon (C) source and a nanoparticle layer formed on the graphene thin film and patterned to define an electrode region of the graphene thin film, the nanoparticle layer being formed of nanoparticles without a matrix material. The PD has a planar structure using the graphene thin film as a channel and an electrode and using nanoparticles as a photovoltaic material (capable of forming electron-hole pairs due to photoelectron-motive force caused by ultraviolet (UV) light). Since the PD has a very simple structure, the PD may be fabricated at low cost with high productivity. Also, the PD includes the graphene thin film to reduce power consumption.

  • Patent number: 7709824
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an AC voltage-driven light emitting device having a single active layer of a core-shell structure (p-i-n structure) in which intrinsic semiconductor nanocrystals, exciton combination centers, are uniformly and isotropically distributed around p-type polymer particles, and n-type small molecular particles surround the semiconductor nanocrystals and p-type polymer, and a manufacturing method thereof. An active layer of a core-shell structure using a polymer-semiconductor nano hybrid in the light-emitting device has an inversion symmetry characteristic showing the same current-voltage characteristic during application of a voltage in a forward direction and a reverse direction. Therefore, due to this inversion symmetry characteristic, the light emitting can be driven by even an AC voltage.
