Abstract: A white-light QLED component, comprising: a transparent substrate, an anode layer, a HI layer, a HT layer, an emission layer, an ET layer, and a cathode layer. The emission layer is incorporated with a plurality of yellow QDs and a plurality of blue QDs, wherein the yellow QDs and the blue QDs have a mixing ratio in a range between 1:4 and 1:8. Experimental data have revealed that, a color temperature of a white light radiated from the white-light QLED component is modulatable by adjusting the weight percent of the yellow QDs in the emission layer, such that the QLED component can be decided to provide a cold white light, a pure white light or a warm white light. It can also control the white-light QLED component to optionally emit cold white light, pure white light or warm white light by modulating a bias voltage.

Abstract: An air flow sensor includes a case, a to-be-detected object, and a detector. The case includes an intake port and an exit port through which air is to flow. The to-be-detected object is located at a first position in the case when the air flowing from the intake port to the exit port has lower than a predetermined level of pressure, and is movable from the first position receiving the air when the air has equal to or higher than the predetermined level of pressure. The detector is disposed outside the case and is configured to detect a movement of the to-be-detected object and output an electrical signal.

In an embodiment a mask material that has been irradiated with charged ions is utilized to focus a subsequent irradiation process. In another embodiment the mask material is irradiated in order to reshape the mask material and reduce the size of openings formed within the mask material. Through such processes the limits of photolithography may be circumvented and smaller feature sizes may be achieved.
