Abstract: The rapid development of digital internet technology has driven continuous transformation and upgrading of display technology. The advent of the Metaverse era demands higher standards for display technology in terms of energy efficiency, brightness, reliability, and wearability, aiming to achieve a seamless and natural digital display experience. Micro-LED is a revolutionary new display technology that can meet the significant demands of next-generation smart displays for high pixel density and high brightness light-emitting devices.

This report will mainly introduce our major research progress in the micro display field. We have developed processes such as sidewall passivation and surface nanopatterning to overcome the construction bottleneck of small-sized light-emitting devices. By optimizing carrier injection, transport, and recombination behaviors, we have achieved ultra-small (1.5 micrometers), high-efficiency vertically structured silicon-based micro light-emitting device arrays. We have also developed a three-dimensional stacked monolithic integration process (VSP), successfully applying silicon-based semiconductor integrated circuit processes to the development of micro light-emitting display chips. We have developed the world’s smallest (grain-sized) micro display screen driven by a single point CMOS, with a pixel density of up to 10,000 PPI and brightness exceeding 1 million nits. These related achievements have been promoted and applied by companies such as TCL Thunderbird.

Abstract:Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS)-based complementary thin-film transistor (TFT) circuits have broad application prospects in large-scale flexible electronics. To simplify circuit design and increase integration density, basic complementary circuits require both p- and n-channel transistors based on an individual semiconductor. However, until now, no MOSs that can simultaneously show p- and n-type conduction behavior has been reported. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time that Cu-doped SnO (Cu:SnO) with HfO₂ capping can be employed for high performance p- and n-channel TFTs. The interstitial Cu+ can induce an n-doping effect while restraining electron−electron scatterings by removing conduction band minimum degeneracy. As a result, the Cu_3atom%:SnO TFTs exhibit a record high electron mobility of 43.8 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹. Meanwhile, the p-channel devices show an ultrahigh hole mobility of 2.4 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹. Flexible complementary logics are then established, including an inverter, NAND gates, and NOR gates. Impressively, the inverter exhibits an ultrahigh gain of 302.4 and excellent operational stability and bending reliability.

Abstract:The 640-670nm semiconductor laser chips are known for their compact size, reliability, and high electro-optical conversion efficiency, making them ideal for laser display and projection applications. To achieve a higher color gamut, the industry relies on 640nm wavelength semiconductor lasers as the core of RGB synthetic laser sources, creating an urgent demand for high-power red semiconductor laser chips.

Through low-loss compound epitaxial layer growth and optimized chip design, we have improved the efficiency and output power of 640nm high-power semiconductor laser chips. Using high-quality AlGaInP heterojunction MOCVD epitaxial growth technology, we achieved a maximum output power of over 4W per single chip and an electro-optical conversion efficiency of 38%. The lasers demonstrated stable operation for 1000 hours at a shell temperature of 40℃ without power degradation, meeting the demands of laser projection, display, and measurement. Additionally, we developed a long-lifetime 670nm-10mW base transverse mode laser chip reliable in high-temperature environments up to 85℃. The chip showed continuous operation for 5040 hours with less than 15% average power decline, meeting the high-reliability requirements for laser measurement, sensing, projection, and lighting applications.

Biography:Jianping Liu earned his doctoral degree from Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Science in 2004. He worked at Lab of Optoelectronics Technology at Beijing University of Technology from 2004 to 2006.

He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed journal papers, including those published in top journal such as Light: Sci & Appl.、Nature Photonics、Appl. Phys. Lett.、Optical Express.

Abstract:Considerable attention has been focused on GaN-based laser diodes (LDs) during the past few years due to the demand for high-performance LDs in pico-projectors and laser displays. One of the main difficulties to develop high-performance GaN-based green LDs is high density of defects in active region, which results not only from large lattice mismatch between high In content InGaN QWs and GaN, but also from large thermal budget imposed on InGaN QWs during epitaxial growth of p-type AlGaN cladding layers. Moreover, p-type AlGaN cladding layers are main origin of internal loss and series resistance for GaN-based LDs. In this work, in order to overcome the above-mentioned problems of p-type layers, indium tin oxide (ITO) was used as cladding layers of GaN-based LD structures. With this hybrid LD structure, blue LDs with output power of 5W at a current of 3A and wall plug efficiency of 40% have been achieved. Moreover, green LDs have been achieved with low threshold current density as low as 1.6 kA/cm2, which is only one third of that of the conventional LD structure. As a result, green LDs with output power more than 1W has been obtained. These results indicate that a hybrid LD structure can pave the way toward high-performance green LDs. The application of GaN-based LDs in communication will be discussed.

Biography:Dr. Wei Yin is an associate professor in optical engineering, Nanjing University of Science and Technology (NJUST), China. His research interests include optical metrology, optical 3D measurement and imaging, fringe projection profilometry, speckle projection profilometry, and deep learning. He is an author of more than 20 journal papers and 10 proceedings conferences related to 3D imaging and high-level tasks directly to optical metrology. Recently, he developed real-time, high-accuracy, long-range, and miniaturized 3D sensors with a VCSEL projector array or a MEMS projector.

Abstract:With the rapid development of optoelectronic information technology, three-dimensional (3D) imaging and sensing has become a research forefront in optical metrology. Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) is one of the most representative 3D imaging technologies due to its non-contact, high-resolution, high-speed, and full-field measurement capability. In recent years, with the rapid advances of optoelectronic devices and digital signal processing units, people subsequently set higher expectations on FPP: it should be both “high precision” and “high speed”. While these two aspects seem contradictory in nature, “speed” has gradually become a fundamental factor that must be taken into account when using FPP, and high-precision 3D reconstruction using only one single pattern has been the ultimate goal of structured light 3D imaging in perpetual pursuit. Nowadays, deep learning technology has fully “permeated” into almost all tasks of optical metrology. In this talk, we introduce our recent efforts to apply deep-learning approaches to FPP. We show that the deep-learning-enabled fringe analysis approach can significantly boost the accuracy and improve the quality of the phase reconstruction compared to conventional single-fringe phase retrieval approaches. Deep learning can also be used to achieve single-frame, high-precision, unambiguous 3D shape reconstruction, which is expected to fill the speed “gap” between 3D imaging and 2D sensing and enables FPP techniques to go a step further in high-speed and high-accuracy 3D surface imaging of transient events.
