Abstract:
A carbon nanotube composite includes a carbon nanotube and a conjugated polymer. The carbon nanotube composite has a liquid crystalline property and a thin film prepared by rubbing-treating a solution of the carbon nanotube composite has a good alignment property and thus can be used in manufacturing carbon nanotube (CNT) thin film transistors (TFTs).
Abstract:
A fibril solar cell includes: a fiber-shaped inner core having a porous fiber composed of first carbon nanotubes and a cathode material, in which pores of the porous fiber are filled with second carbon nanotubes, titanium dioxide, a photosensitive dye, and an electron transfer electrolyte; a photoconductive layer formed on a surface of the fiber-shaped inner core and composed of at least one photoconductive polymer; a transparent electrode layer formed on a surface of the photoconductive layer; and a transparent protective layer formed on a surface of the transparent electrode layer and composed of at least one transparent polymer. The fibril solar cell can be mass-produced inexpensively using a polymer. Also, the fibril solar cell has a high efficiency and can be converted into various shapes. The fibril solar cell can be attached to clothing, and be used as a portable power source for mobile electronics.
Abstract:
A Carbon NanoTube (CNT) structure includes a substrate, a CNT support layer, and a plurality of CNTs. The CNT support layer is stacked on the substrate and has pores therein. One end of each of the CNTs is attached to portions of the substrate exposed through the pores and each of the CNTs has its lateral sides supported by the CNT support layer. A method of vertically aligning CNTs includes: forming a first conductive substrate; stacking a CNT support layer having pores on the first conductive substrate; and attaching one end of the each of the CNTs to portions of the first conductive substrate exposed through the pores.

Abstract:
An electroluminescent device uses nano structures having a wide surface area. The electroluminescent device includes a substrate, a first electrode having a plurality of nano structures formed on an upper surface of the substrate, a dielectric layer formed so as to correspond to the shape of the nano structures, a light emitting layer formed so as to correspond to the shape of the dielectric layer, and a second electrode covering the light emitting layer. A surface of the second electrode facing the light emitting layer is separated by a predetermined distance from a surface of the nano structures.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an upper panel of a field emission type backlight unit. The method includes: sequentially forming an anode electrode and a phosphor layer on a substrate; forming a metal reflection film on the phosphor layer; and annealing a surface of the metal reflection film. The method can increase brightness of an image, can prevent occurrence of an electric arc when a high driving voltage is applied to the backlight unit, and allows removal of residues produced when manufacturing the backlight unit.
