21.2%‐efficient fineline‐printed PERC solar cell with 5 busbar front grid

We evaluate industrial‐type PERC solar cells applying a 5 busbar front grid and fineline‐printed Ag fingers. We obtain finger widths down to 46 µm when using a stencil with 40 µm opening for the finger print, whereas the busbar is printed in a separate printing step with a different Ag paste (dual print). This compares to finger widths of 62 µm to 66 µm when applying print‐on‐print. The 5 busbar front grid with the best dual print process reduces the shadowing loss of the front grid to 4.0% compared to 5.8% for a conventional 3 busbar front grid printed with print‐on‐print. The 1.8% reduction in shadowing loss results in equal parts from the reduced finger width with dual print as well as from a reduced total busbar width of the 5 busbar design. The resulting PERC solar cells with 5 busbars demonstrate independently confirmed conversion efficiencies of 21.2% compared to 20.6% efficiency of the 3 busbar PERC solar cell. The increased conversion efficiency is primarily due to an increased short‐circuit current resulting from the reduced shadowing loss. To our knowledge, 21.2% conversion efficiency is the highest value reported so far for industry typical silicon solar cells with printed metal front and rear contacts.

Biological laser printing of three dimensional cellular structures

This proceeding presents experiments demonstrating that BioLP^TM, Biological Laser Printing, can be used to rapidly and accurately print individual cells as well as patterns of cells in three dimensions. Human osteosarcoma cells were deposited into a biopolymer matrix, and after twenty-four hours of incubation, the printed cells remained viable and had multiplied. Multiple layers of human osteosarcoma cells were transferred into a Matrigel^TM substrate, producing a three-dimensional cellular construct. Live/dead assays were performed, demonstrating that greater than 95% of the cells were viable after the being printed into the biopolymer. The ability to selectively print individual cells has potential benefits for cell selection studies and genomics and proteomics research. In addition, this technique could enable layers of tissue scaffolding to be seeded with cells at exceedingly high precision and resolution. PACS 87.15.La; 87.18.Hf; 87.50.Hj     

Testing of holographic optical elements for holographic gun-sight

Conventional methods of measuring the various parameters of holographic optical elements are tedious for mass production. A novel approach is described for the holographic elements used in the holographic sight, in which the parameters are defined and measured as per their intended final application. Since the holographic sight is used for accurate target acquisition along with the other features, parallax in the sight becomes a critical parameter. Besides, the maximum brightness of the reticle is another parameter of the device, which is important for the use of sight in the strong sunlight in summers. There are two holographic elements, namely holographic reticle and holographic lens in the sight. Both can be tested in a simple set-up in terms of the parallax of the sight and the brightness of the reticle. The masters for both elements are required to be benchmarked once and rest of the elements in a mass production can be tested with the reference of masters.

Roll-to-roll gravure printed silver patterns to guarantee printability and functionality for mass production

This study introduces mass-producible roll-to-roll (R2R) gravure printed patterns with good printability and functionality. Ag flake materials and polyimide (PI) film substrates were used in this experiment. To confirm mass production potential, a large-scale R2R gravure machine was used, and lengthy printing times were used in the process (6.5 h). It was attempted to print a 30- to 120-μm fine-line pattern (groove type) and a 200- to 1000-μm-wide (dot type) nominal pattern. Various printed width and thickness values were obtained using many measurement sets to confirm the repeatability of each pattern for lengthy process times. We obtained a 45- to 1000-μm pattern width and a 1- to 5-μm thickness. Moreover, resistivity of the printed pattern was also achieved in the range of 5.4–18 μΩ cm. A peel-off test was performed using a standardized method. Finally, this paper presents the achieved optimized process condition and the results of this study.

Multi-layered Ag film pattern printed by spatially modulated pulsed laser beam

Ag film solution-deposited on the glass source substrate was selectively transferred onto a receiver substrate by a spatially modulated pulsed ultraviolet laser beam. After printing a line pattern, an additional layer was orthogonally printed over the first layer. It was found that the thickness of the first layer is a crucial factor affecting the mechanical stability of the overall pattern. When the first layer was thicker than 0.7 μm, the second layer was cracked at the junction edges regardless of its thickness. This is attributed to the vertical elongation of the second layer at the edge areas. As long as the first layer remains below 0.7 μm thick, however, a very thick additional layer could be printed without any cracks. The printed patterns were mechanically robust and exhibited good electrical contact between the layers. The threshold pulse energy density for printing was measured to be 10 mJ/cm² and this threshold level made it possible to print over square centimeters by a single pulse.     

A New Method for Rotation and Brightness Invariant Pattern Recognition Based on Modified Multiple Circular Harmonic Expansions

A new method for rotation and brightness invariant pattern recognition was proposed by applying multiple circular harmonic expansions to the joint transform correlator. The amplitudes of the multiple orders of circular harmonic expansions made from a detecting image were synthetically modified to respond to the same auto-correlation peaks. These modified circular harmonic expansions were arranged in the input plane as reference patterns together with an arbitrary target pattern, and the correlation signals between them were calculated in the subtracted joint transform correlator. The fraction of the correlation-peak intensities between the target and the references were extracted as a new discrimination parameter. This new parameter performs pattern recognition under rotation and brightness invariance with good discriminability. Its high discriminability has been proved in computer simulations using the face image patterns of many individuals.     

Is pitch a learned attribute of sounds? Two points in support of Terhardt's pitch theory

Terhardt [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 55, 1061-1069 (1974)] postulated a pitch perception model wherein a learning stage constitutes an integral part: it is only repeated exposure to patterns of spectral pitch that will generate the percept of virtual pitch (i.e., the residue). Two examples, one clinical and one musical, are cited to support the idea that perception of the pitch of complex tones represents a case of pattern perception which is acquired with experience.

Optical panel with full multitouch using patterned indium tin oxide

This study proposes an optical panel with full multitouch using the patterned indium tin oxide (ITO) and an algorithm matrix to avoid ghost points. The patterned ITOs include the virtual high and low impedances. The algorithm matrix with two configurations of equivalent circuits for array scanning is derived using the voltage divider rule. The fabrication process of the multitouch panel is carried out using microelectromechanical systems technology. The optical characteristics of the multitouch panel in the UV, visible, and IR regions are measured using photometric analysis. The multitouch panel, containing sensing pixels of 30×30 arrays, has a pixel size of 2×2?mm2 and a pitch distance of 2?mm. The average values of high and low impedances are 53.23 and 9.3?k?Ω, respectively. The maximum transmittance is about 74.2% at the wavelength of 692?nm. The multitouch panel based on high and low impedance patterns has been specifically designed to offer good adjacent touch resolution and sensitivity for reality multitouch applications. In addition, the patterned design and the algorithm matrix provide unlimited multitouch points and avoid ghost points.     

Deposition and characterization of lines printed through laser-induced forward transfer

The possibility of printing two-dimensional micropatterns of biomolecule solutions is of great interest in many fields of research in biomedicine, from cell-growth and development studies to the investigation of the mechanisms of communication between cells. Although laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) has been extensively used to print micrometric droplets of biological solutions, the fabrication of complex patterns depends on the feasibility of the technique to print micron-sized lines of aqueous solutions. In this study we investigate such a possibility through the analysis of the influence of droplet spacing of a water and glycerol solution on the morphology of the features printed by LIFT. We prove that it is indeed possible to print long and uniform continuous lines by controlling the overlap between adjacent droplets. We show how, depending on droplet spacing, several printed morphologies are generated, and we offer, in addition, a simple explanation of the observed behavior based on the jetting dynamics characteristic of the LIFT of liquids.     

改进宽银幕投影显示照明系统的设计方法

照明系统是投影显示系统的重要组成部分,决定着整个系统的亮度和照明均匀性。复眼系统是一种常见的液晶投影显示系统照明结构。传统的复眼照明系统设计方法中,复眼小透镜具有与液晶板相同的长宽比,可以获得能量利用率和均匀性都比较好的照明光斑。但研究发现,利用这种方法设计宽银幕投影显示设备的复眼照明系统,会引起一定的光能损失。针对这一问题,通过对复眼系统设计理论的分析和对实际复眼照明系统的模拟,创新性地提出了在照明系统中引入柱面透镜改变复眼小透镜的长宽比的设计方法,能够有效的提高投影系统能量利用率。模拟计算结果表明,引入柱面透镜的复眼照明系统与传统方法设计的复眼系统相比,能量利用率可以提高5％到10％。

Transflective liquid-crystal display using low-twisted vertically aligned mode

We present the design of a transflective and low-power LCD using a low-twist vertically aligned liquid crystal (LC) cell, achieved by blending a chiral additive with a patterned reflector in a single-domain configuration. Unlike the conventional single-domain transflective LCD, in which it is possible to optimize only one of the transmissive and reflective regions, the device suggests that it is possible to optimize both the transmission and reflection design to obtain favorable results in both reflective and transmissive light conditions by optimizing the chiral pitch and twist angle. From the parameter space diagram (PSD) method, which does not include the information on chiral pitch and the nonuniform LC director tilt angle, optimization focused on the transmissive region is performed. By analyzing the relation between the transmittance and the chiral pitch under the applied voltage, the optimized twist angle and chiral pitch are proposed. It is described that the optimized twist angle is also available for the reflective region by the dynamic PSD method by considering the average tilt angle under applied voltage.

Using a LED as the reference light, we could clearly observe three-dimensional images whose size was approximately 30 mmx10 mm x30 mm . Moreover, we reconstructed a color holograph by use of a simple system with a set of red, green, and blue LEDs as the reference light.
