A light-emitting device comprising a population of quantum dots (QDs) embedded in a host matrix and a primary light source which causes the QDs to emit secondary light and a method of making such a device. The size distribution of the QDs is chosen to allow light of a particular color to be emitted therefrom. The light emitted from the device may be of either a pure (monochromatic) color, or a mixed (polychromatic) color, and may consist solely of light emitted from the QDs themselves, or of a mixture of light emitted from the QDs and light emitted from the primary source. The QDs desirably are composed of an undoped semiconductor such as CdSe, and may optionally be overcoated to increase photoluminescence.

Quantum dot white and colored light-emitting devices

An ohmic contact in accordance with the invention includes a layer of p-type GaN-based material. A first layer of a group II-VI compound semiconductor is located adjacent to the layer of p-type GaN-based material. The ohmic contact further includes a metal layer that provides metal contact. A second layer of a different II-VI compound semiconductor is located adjacent to the metal layer.

The present invention provides an optical switch including a loss element having a signal loss, and a rare earth doped gain element optically connected in series with the loss element. The rare earth doped gain element is operable to produce a signal gain. The signal gain and the signal loss are about equal. The present invention also provides a method of optical switching including optically connecting a loss element in series with a rare earth doped gain element and passing an optical signal through the loss element and the gain element. The loss element attenuates the optical signal by a first amount. The method further includes selectively applying an optical pump to the gain element to perform the switching, the gain element amplifying the optical signal by the first amount in response to the optical pump.

A light-emitting diode (LED) in accordance with the invention includes an edge-emitting LED stack having an external emitting surface from which light is emitted, and a reflective element that is located adjacent to at least one external surface of the LED stack other than the external emitting surface. The reflective element receives light that is generated inside the LED stack and reflects the received light back into the LED stack. At least a portion of the reflected light is then emitted from the external emitting surface.

Edge-emitting LED assembly

Light beam focusing components direct light from the top surface of a touch screen display to one or more imagers. The imager or imagers capture one or more images of the top surface of the touch screen display. A processing unit analyzes the image or images to determine the position of an input device on or near the top surface of the touch screen display.

Methods and systems for detecting selections on a touch screen display

The present invention provides a VCSEL system comprising forming a first mirror, forming a vertical cavity on the first mirror, the vertical cavity including integrated multiple gain regions and forming a transverse p/n junction laterally to the integrated multiple gain regions, wherein forward biasing the transverse p/n junction causes photon emission in the integrated multiple gain regions.

The present invention provides methods and compositions for interaction trap assays for detecting protein-protein, protein-DNA, or protein-RNA interactions. The methods and compositions of the invention may also be used to identify agents which may agonize or antagonize a protein-protein, protein-DNA, or protein-RNA interaction. In certain embodiments, the interaction trap system of the invention is useful for screening libraries with greater than 10members. In other embodiments, the interaction trap system of the invention is used in conjunction with flow cytometry. The invention further provides a means for simultaneously screening a target protein or nucleic acid sequence for the ability to interact with two or more test proteins or nucleic acids.
