  • Publication number: 20080315229
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electrical light-emitting device including a transparent conductive nanorod type electrode, in which transparent conductive nanorods grown perpendicular to a light-emitting layer are used as the electrode. Hence, light is not absorbed by the electrode, and tunneling easily occurs due to nanocontact of the nanorods, thus increasing current injection efficiency, and also, total internal reflections decrease. Thereby, the light-emitting device according to this invention has light-emitting properties and luminous efficiency superior to conventional light-emitting devices, including metal electrodes or thin film type transparent electrodes.

  • Patent number: 7388201
    Abstract: A radiation detector has an electron emitter that includes a coated nanostructure on a support. The nanostructure can include a plurality of nanoneedles. A nanoneedle is a shaft tapering from a base portion toward a tip portion. The tip portion has a diameter between about 1 nm to about 50 nm and the base portion has a diameter between about 20 nm to about 300 nm. Each shaft has a length between about 100 nm to about 3,000 nm and an aspect ratio larger than 10. A coating covers at least the tip portions of the shafts. The coating exhibits negative electron affinity and is capable of emitting secondary electrons upon being irradiated by radiation. The nanostructure can also include carbon nanotubes (CNTs) coated with a material selected from the group of aluminum nitride (AlN), gallium nitride (GaN), and zinc oxide (ZnO).

  • Patent number: 7102173
    Abstract: Provided are a nitride semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same. In the method, semiconductor nanorods are vertically grown on a substrate, and then a nitride semiconductor thin film is deposited on the substrate having the semiconductor nanorods. Accordingly, a high-quality nitride semiconductor thin film can be deposited on a variety of inexpensive, large-sized substrates. Also, because the nitride semiconductor thin film containing the semiconductor nanorods can easily emit light through openings between the nanorods, internal scattering can be greatly reduced. Thus, the nitride semiconductor thin film can be usefully employed in optical devices such as light emitting diodes and electronic devices.
