AbstractFlexible, free shape displays are the enabling technology for new robust, lightweight, extremely thin, portable electronic devices. Polymer Light Emitting Diodes (PLED) are especially suited for these applications, due to their fast response time, low voltage, high luminous efficiency and viewing angle performance. On the other hand, PLED displays are extremely sensitive to moisture and oxygen. Substrate materials provided with high performance hermetic and conducting layers are therefore an essential component for manufacturing these flexible devices. Polymer based substrates provide the necessary mechanical flexibility; they also require several thin, brittle, functional inorganic layers such diffusion barriers and transparent electrodes. The structural integrity, dimensional stability and thermal properties of the substrate stack are crucial to insure device functionality and reliability. For polymer-based substrate several effects lead to dimensional variation of the substrates, such as solvent uptake, physical ageing of the polymer base, thermal expansion and stress induced deformations. These effects must be taken into account to successfully perform classic photolithographic steps.Ink-jet printing is a critical enabling technology for flexible PLED displays, providing a customizable means to dispense solution-based polymers onto a flexible substrate, allowing for multi-color devices. On the other hand, IJP must meet several challenges, especially to comply with industrial applications. For example, accurate landing position of the droplets to form homogeneous hole-transport and electroluminescent layers as well as good wetting characteristic of the substrates must be obtained with reliable high throughput techniques.

Based on the analyses of the current solenoid valve driving circuits in marine diesel, a new type of dual-power double-maintain injector driving circuit is designed for marine high-pressure common-rail diesel. The circuit uses BOOST high voltage (80V) and storage battery low voltage (24V) to make up of dual-power time-sharing driver, which achieves automatic PWM feedback modulation of the solenoid valve injection current from the hardware. Experiments were carried out on a certain type of injector, the results showed that: the driving circuit had fast response time, only 0.045ms from zero to 22A of the solenoid valve current was required; the peak value of driving current has a good consistency, parameters including peakvalue current altitude, lasting time, maintain current altitude and maintain current lasting time could be adjusted flexibly. Besides, the circuit could be flexibly configured without occupying MCU resources.

Abstract Cellulose-based electroactive actuators are promising candidates for biomimetic robots and biomedical applications due to their lightweight, high mechanical strength, and natural abundance. However, cellulose-based electroactive actuators exhibit lower actuation performance than traditional conductive polymer actuators. This work reports a fast-response cellulose-based electroactive actuator based on 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidized nanocellulose (TOCNF) film with layered structure fabricated by evaporation, and gold electrodes prepared by ion sputtering. The residual ions during the TEMPO oxidation process and the layered structure due to self-assembly accelerate the ion migration efficiency in actuators. The proposed actuator can reach a tip displacement of 32.1 mm at a voltage of 10 V and deflect 60° in 5 s. After applying a reverse 10 V voltage, the actuator can also be quickly deflected (42.5 mm). In addition, the actuator also shows high electrical actuation performance at low voltage (5 V). The excellent electroactive performance of as-prepared TOCNF/Au enables the feasibility to be applied to actuators.
