In this paper, we discuss on a new method to increase the output current of energy-harvesting device by using a symmetric three-ports electrostatic comb-drive mechanism that enables fast charging of battery. A symmetric electrodes layout is used to reduce the binding electrostatic force that constraints the movable electrodes, thereby allowing a formation of a high electret potential without electrostatic...
In this study, we developed a thin plasmonic color sheet (TPCS) embedded with Al subwavelength gratings for use in flexible optical transmission filters, and experimentally demonstrated its transmission characteristics. Al subwavelength gratings were formed in a freestanding thin poly-para-xylylene (parylene-N) film less than 1-μm thick by using electron beam (EB) direct writing and sacrificial etching...
In this paper, we discuss a minimum filter size and duty ratio (= width/period) of a subwavelength Al grating for a tunable RGB color filter based on surface plasmons. An array of Al gratings was deployed over a through hole by sacrificial release process. The peak wavelength of the transmitted light was red-shifted by increasing the period of the subwavelength grating from 450 nm to 600 nm. We obtained...
In this study, we propose a flexible color filter based on surface plasmon using aluminum nanowire and nanodot array. Aluminum subwavelength lattice was formed on a parylene-N film and coated with parylene-N to avoid detachment from the substrate film. Both Al nanowire width of 250 nm and nanodot of 250 nm were successfully fabricated on the thin parylene-N film of 200 nm. Green color from the Al...
Presented is a fabrication process for the transmission of red–green–blue (RGB) colour filters based on surface plasmons (SPs) using aluminium (Al) nanowire arrays patterned through electron-beam lithography and the lift-off technique. An array of Al nanowires was deployed over a through hole formed by sacrificial silicon etching. The period of the Al nanowire arrays is the dominant structural parameter...
This paper presents a nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) variable transmission attenuator based on a gap variable subwavelength grating with a low drive voltage. An array of parallel-plate actuators is deployed over a through hole. The transmitted light intensity decreased from 63.3% to 46.5% with a drive voltage of 3.2 V at a wavelength of 775 nm.
We investigated how child patients take in information from a dentist's face and whether there is any age difference in the way of scanning the face. For this purpose, we used a non-contact type of eye movement measuring apparatus tradenamed FreeView ® and an upright photograph of a male dentist's face as the test image. The subjects consisted of a total of 90 children between the ages of...
