Second, BOE developed a 5-inch AMQLED display color gamut more than 100%
On March 20th, BOE (BOE) developed a 5-inch active quantum dot light-emitting display product (AMQLED), which is the key national R&D project of the Ministry of Science and Technology under the leadership of BOE (BOE). Study the results of the project. Different from the way that LCD backlight uses quantum dot material to expand the color gamut, this product adopts the ink jet printing process to prepare the electroluminescent quantum dot light emitting device (QLED) to realize full-color display with a color gamut exceeding 100%.
Quantum dots are tiny semiconductor crystals composed of only a few atoms. The quantum dot materials that absorb energy can be excited to emit light, and light emitting different colors can be achieved by controlling the size of quantum dots. Based on this characteristic, quantum dot technology is currently mainly used in quantum dot backlight technology and active quantum dot light emitting diode (AMQLED).
The liquid crystal products cannot emit light by themselves, and LEDs are required as backlight sources to realize display. The quantum dot television that appeared on the market earlier was a liquid crystal television using a quantum dot backlight technology. The quantum dot backlight technology uses quantum dot materials instead of the phosphor light emitting layer in the traditional LED backlight to make an LED backlight with a quantum film, and its display color can be improved by more than 30% compared with conventional LED-backlit televisions.
Third, the world’s first quantum computer that surpasses the early classical computer
On May 3, the Chinese Academy of Sciences held a press conference in Shanghai to announce that the world’s first light-quantum computer that surpassed the early classical computer was born in China. It is understood that Prof. Pan Jianwei and his colleagues Lu Chaoyang and Zhu Xiaobo from the University of Science and Technology of China, together with Professor Wang Haohua's research team from Zhejiang University, have made a series of breakthroughs in quantum computer research based on photon and superconductivity systems.
In the optical system, the research team used the high-quality quantum dot single-photon source to build the world's first single-photon quantum computer that surpassed the early classical computer, based on the realization of the ten-photon entanglement manipulation for the first time last year.
In the superconducting system, the research team broke the manipulation of nine superconducting qubits previously publicly reported by Google, NASA, and UCSB, realizing the entanglement of the world's largest number (ten) of superconducting qubits, and in superconductivity. A quantum algorithm for solving a linear system of equations is implemented on the quantum processor.
IV. Beihang University and Microelectronics successfully prepared the first 80nm magnetic random access memory chip device in China
Zhao Chaosheng, professor of School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Beihang University, and Zhao Chao, a researcher of the integrated circuit pilot R&D center of the Institute of Microelectronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, successfully completed the preparation of the first 80nm spin-transfer torque-magnetic random access memory device in China (STT- MRAM) reached the international advanced level. After the application of this technology, the computer crashes will retain all the data, and the standby time of the mobile phone is expected to increase substantially.
STT-MRAM is a new generation of next-generation memory solutions with great application potential. Due to the adoption of a large number of new materials and new structures, processing and preparation are extremely difficult. Currently, the three countries of the United States, South Korea and Japan have taken the lead in this technology, and it is very likely that after the storage chips such as hard disks, DRAM and flash memory, they will once again realize a complete monopoly on China.
V. "Blink" Switch: A Magical Sensor
On July 29th, Chinese scientists recently reported that they have designed a new type of sensor that can be attached to eyeglasses to detect blinking movements, thus making it possible to complete the daily task of switching home appliances between “blinking eyesâ€.
“This technology can be considered as having a 'third hand'.†Professor Hu Chenguo of Chongqing University, one of the principals of the study, said that if the hands of normal people are occupied, this new type of human-computer interaction can be used to control the electronics around them. Equipment can also benefit from patients who lose their mobility due to diseases such as degenerative fever. In the future, they will also explore the installation of such sensors on different parts of the human body in an attempt to control intelligent robots.
It is understood that the working principle of the sensor mainly includes two processes: frictional electrification process and electrostatic induction process. The sensor is composed of two layers of upper and lower film, with a certain interval in the middle, mounted on the legs of the glasses and touching the skin near the corner of the eye. When the eyes move, tiny movements of the skin around the corners of the eyes will make contact between the two layers of the film. After the eyes are closed, the eyes will open and the two layers of film will separate. A conductive layer is formed on the back side of the film to generate a pulsed electrical signal output corresponding to blinking.
Sixth, China made the world's first integrated free electronic light source chip
On August 31st, Prof. Liu Fang, the Department of Electronic Engineering of Tsinghua University, led researchers to develop a chip that integrates a free-electron light source.
