Publication number: 20090280592Abstract: A structure of multi-wavelength light emitting device comprises multi-stacked active layer structure. Each stacked layer comprises lower energy bandgap well 4 and higher energy bandgap barrier layer 3 wherein at least one stacked layer in the device contains nanoparticles. As a result, the emitting wavelengths of the multi-stacked active layer structure consist parts (or all) of the emitting wavelengths come from the stack layers containing nanoparticles, and parts (or all) of the emitting wavelengths come from the stack layers not containing nanoparticles. In another embodiment, parts (or all) of the emitting wavelengths of the multi-stacked active layer structure can be also used to trigger one or more phosphorescences from the phosphors, thus the emitting wavelengths of such a phosphors converted light emitting device may come partially from the multi-stacked active layer itself and partially (or all) from the phosphors.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2009Publication date: November 12, 2009Inventors: Wei-Kuo CHEN, Wen-Cheng KE

Publication number: 20090260504Abstract: The automatic audio playing device mainly contains a hollow body member, a control unit housed inside the body member, a plug member and a speaker as integral parts of the body member, an adaptor, and a remote controller. The control unit has a radio reception circuit for receiving control signals from the remote controller. The control signal is forwarded to a signal processing circuit, which in turn triggers a microprocessor in accordance with the control signals. The microprocessor instructs an audio playing circuit to play an appropriate digital audio file via the speaker. The plug member could be plugged into a conventional lamp socket for a light bulb, or the plug member is first plugged into the adaptor and the adaptor is then plugged into a conventional wall socket. Once this is done, the automatic audio playing device could be turned on and off by switches of existing wiring.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2008Publication date: October 22, 2009Inventor: WEI-KUO CHEN

Patent number: 7294202Abstract: Process for fabricating self-assembled nanoparticles on buffer layers without mask making and allowing for any degree of lattice mismatch; that is, binary, ternary or quaternary nanoparticles comprising Groups III-V, II-VI or IV-VI. The process includes a first step of applying a buffer layer, a second step of turning on the purge gas to modulate the first reactant to the lower first flow rate, then the second reactant is supplied to the buffer layer to form a metal-rich island on the buffer layer, and a third step of turning on purge gas again to modulate the first reactant to the higher second flow rate onto the buffer layer. On the metal-rich island is formed the nanoparticles of the binary, ternary or quaternary III-V, II-VI and IV-IV semiconductor material. This is then recrystallized under the first reactant flow at high temperature forming high quality nanoparticles.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2004Date of Patent: November 13, 2007Assignee: National Chiao Tung UniversityInventors: Wei-Kuo Chen, Ming-Chih Lee, Wu-Ching Chou, Wen-Hsiung Chen, Wen-Cheng Ke
