Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electronic devices are widely used both in industry and in daily life in applications such as information processing, telecommunication, and signal processing. Technology has been developing at a fast pace in recent decades, and we are now seeing not just technology enthusiasts who feel the need to upgrade to the latest gadget as soon as it is released, but also regular members of society who find it difficult to spend even a few hours without their mobile phone, tablet or laptop, all of which have become an indispensable part of our everyday routine.

This Special Issue is the product of the collaboration of the Electronics journal with the 2021 International Conference on Electron Devices and Applications (ICEDA 2021) to be held in Nanjing, China on 14–16 August 2021. Website: www.iceda.org

The objective of the ICEDA 2021 is to support the sharing of the latest research results between scientists in the relevant fields.

This Special Issue will review papers based on presentations made at the ICEDA conference, as well as other relevant contributions.

The integration of a scan drive circuit is required for flexible and stretchable displays because a rigid scan driver IC is not flexible and stretchable. In this study, decoder-type scan drivers were developed using amorphous IGZO thin-film transistors for both depletion and enhancement mode TFTs. Simulations and measurements show that the proposed decoder-type scan driver operates well for both the enhancement and depletion-mode TFTs without error. The measurement results show that the proposed circuit provides scan pulses well, even with depletion-mode TFTs with a large negative threshold voltage of around −25 V. Full article

Wearable integrated systems that rely on liquid metal commonly require an extremely complicated, high-cost fabrication process, while lacking multiple sensing functions without conductive wires connected to external electronic systems. A multi-sensing wearable patch independent from sophisticated manufacturing method and excessive use of wires has yet to be developed. Herein, we introduce a wireless, battery-free, and skin-attachable patch with multiple sensing capacities, utilizing a low-budget, less time-consuming and design-customizable fabrication method. In an effort to achieve our goal, the general sensing system architecture is promoted, which consists of a semi-liquid alloy Ni-GaIn based strain sensor and a co-designed near-field-communication (NFC) tag integrating thermistor, photoresistor, as well as sensor interface circuits, enabling energy-autonomous power supply and wireless data transmission. In human volunteers, the patch was mounted on the skin surface to demonstrate real-time temperature and light intensity signal monitoring. Further evaluation of body motion capturing involved finger bending and swallowing, demonstrating the feasibility of practical applications in different scenarios. Continuous and simultaneous multi-type signal sensing using the wearable patch should enrich the dimensions of measurements of body response to daily activities, unveiling the potential for remote human health monitoring, advanced human–machine interfaces, and other applications of interest.

CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) have attracted great consideration from investigators owing to their excellent photo-physical characteristics and application in quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs). The CdSe/ZnS-based inverted QD-LEDs structure uses high-quality semiconductors electron transport layers (ETLs), a multilayered hole transporting layers (HTLs). In QD-LED, designing a device structure with a minimum energy barrier between adjacent layers is very important to achieve high efficiency. A high mobility polymer of poly (9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-N-(4-(3-methylpropyl)) diphenylamine (TFB) was doped with 4,4′-bis-(carbazole-9-yl) biphenyl (CBP) with deep energy level to produce composite TFB:CBP holes to solve energy mismatch (HTL). In addition, we also improved the QD-LED device structure by using zinc tin oxide (ZTO) as ETL to improve device efficiency. The device turn-on voltage Vt (1 cd m−2) with ZTO ETL reduced from 2.4 V to 1.9 V significantly. Furthermore, invert structure devices exhibit luminance of 4296 cd m−2, current-efficiency (CE) of 7.36 cd A−1, and external-quantum efficiency (EQE) of 3.97%. For the QD-LED based on ZTO, the device efficiency is improved by 1.7 times. Full article
