  • Patent number: 8030237
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dielectric thin film composition showing linear dielectric properties, in which tin oxides (SnO2) are introduced into a (Ba,Sr)TiO3 (BSTO) dielectric thin film in a continuous diffusion gradient manner in composition. Since the non-linear dielectric properties of BSTO are converted to linear dielectric properties by the addition of SnO2 according to the present invention, the dielectric thin film composition of the present invention is characterized in that: there is little change in the capacitance according to the applied electric field; it has a high dielectric constant capable of showing a desired capacitance even at a thickness suitable for preventing the occurrence of electron tunneling; and it exhibits paraelectric properties similar to the conventional dielectric substances such as SiO2 while having a very low dielectric loss.

  • Patent number: 7989571
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a norbornene monomer composition, a norbornene polymer produced using the norbornene monomer composition, an optical film including the norbornene polymer, and a method for producing the norbornene polymer. The method includes reacting a reaction solution that contains cyclopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene, or a mixture of cyclopentadiene and dicyclopentadiene, an acetate compound, and a solvent so that a content of an exo isomer is 50 mol % or more. Variables such as a reaction temperature, a reaction time, a molar ratio between reactants, and addition of a solvent are controlled so that the exo isomer is contained in content of 50 mol % or more. Accordingly, it is possible to industrially produce an acetate norbornene addition polymer by using the acetate norbornene monomer composition containing the exo isomer in content of 50 mol % or more.

  • 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.
