Although the tandem WOLED have the potential of high efficiency and long lifetime, the high voltage of tandem structure usually limits its application inAR/VR products. To achieve low voltage WOLED, it is necessary to develop single structure. Most of the reported single WOLED with the use of TADF materials show a relatively large CIE coordinates. In this work, we use the combination of blue fluorescence and yellow TADF materials with a 1‐2 nm p‐type interlayer material between them. The energy is transferred from blue fluorescence to TADF. And finally, the single WOLED with tunable color temperature was realized. The CIE coordinates can be tuned from the warm white point of (0.313, 0.323) to the cold white point of (0.285, 0.279). The roll‐off of efficiency from 240 nit to 3000 nit is lower than 10%, and the lifetime (LT95) can reach 1300 h at 1000 nit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a novel CGL structure is designed and studied to improve the lateral leakage in stacked OLED devices. Experiments confirmed that the position of transverse leakage mainly occurred in the CGL layer, and the new CGL structure was realized by optimizing the n‐CGL material. Compared with the reference CGL structure device, the voltage of the new structure device decreased by 0.05v, and the current efficiency increased by 5%. The average value of the color gamuts was improved by 5%, demonstrating the effectiveness and stability of the new CGL structure. The mechanism of the new CGL structure was verified by EOD. The carrier transmission performance of the new CGL structure was worse, but the carrier injection performance was improved, so as to improve the lateral leakage problem under the premise of ensuring the role of CGL.

Due to its high quantum yield and unique spectral characteristics, quantum dots (QDs) color conversion materials have attracted great attention in the application of luminescent display products. However, there is a lack of effective optical model for QD color conversion materials, especially for the propagation and distribution of light, when the QD ink contains scattering particles. In this paper, a full‐view optical model of QD conversion and blue backlight device architecture is established. The model can not only output the spectral information in the front view, but also predict the spectral information of the QD color conversion device in other different views. At the same time, the effects of QD concentration, thickness, particle size and refractive index on the luminous efficiency of the device structure are also studied by using this optical model. On the other hand, the influence of conversion efficiency of QD and EL backlight on the power consumption and lifetime of QD products is also studied by using this optical model. The model can realize the output of the optical influence on the future products by the parameters related to QD color conversion materials and backlight without actual device fabrication, which can greatly reduce time and labor cost.

Our study evaluates the effects of sacubitril/valsartan (SAC/VAL) in the rabbit model of doxorubicin-induced heart failure. Twenty rabbits (5 per group) were administered with doxorubicin (DOX, 1.5 mg kg−1, i.v.) to induce heart failure. Specific biomarkers such as BNP, CnT, CRP and ROMs were determined. The cardiac enzymatic anti-oxidant systems were recorded with their electrographic profiles. HR, SBP, DBP and MAP were restored at 5 or 10 mg kg−1 (p.o.) of SAC/VAL compared to DOX, followed by reduced levels of creatinine and BNP (p < 0.001). Significant improvements (p < 0.05) compared to DOX were also noticed in CAT, SOD and LPO with the same doses of SAC/VAL. Specific biomarkers such as BNP, CnT, CRP and ROMs descended significantly (p < 0.001) with treatment when compared to their baseline values. Our findings implied that SAC/VAL treatment reduced the inflammation and oxidative stress to improve the cardiac function.

This paper proposes a modeling and analysis method for a Caputo–Fabrizio (C-F) definition-based fractional-order Boost converter with fractional-order inductive loads. The proposed method analyzes the system characteristics of a fractional-order circuit with three state variables. Firstly, this paper constructs a large signal model of a fractional-order Boost converter by taking advantage of the state space averaging method, providing accurate analytical solutions for the quiescent operating point and the ripple parameters of the circuit with three state variables. Secondly, this paper constructs a small signal model of the C-F definition-based fractional-order Boost converter by small signal linearization, providing the transfer function of the fractional-order system with three state variables. Finally, this paper conducts circuit-oriented simulation experiments where the steady-state parameters and the transfer function of the circuit are obtained, and then the effect of the order of capacitor, induced inductor, and load inductor on the quiescent operating point and ripple parameters is analyzed. The experimental results show that the simulation results are consistent with those obtained by the proposed mathematical model and that the three fractional orders in the fractional model with three state variables have a significant impact on the DC component and steady-state characteristics of the fractional-order Boost converter. In conclusion, the proposed mathematical model can more comprehensively analyze the system characteristics of the C-F definition-based fractional-order Boost converter with fractional-order inductive loads, benefiting the circuit design of Boost converters.

The rumen is divided into multiple rumen sacs based on anatomical structure, and each has its unique physiological environment. Tarim wapiti preserved roughage tolerance after domestication, and adaptation to the desertified environment led to the development of a unique rumen shape and intraruminal environment. In this work, six Tarim wapiti were chosen and tested for fermentation parameters, microbes, and histomorphology in four rumen areas (Dorsal sac, DS; Ventral sac, VS; Caudodorsal blind sac, CDBS; Caudoventral blind sac, CVBS). Tarim wapiti's rumen blind sac had better developed rumen histomorphology, the ventral sac was richer in VFAs, and the dominant bacteria varied most notably in the phylum Firmicutes, which was enriched in the caudoventral blind sac. The ventral sac biomarkers focused on carbohydrate fermentation-associated bacteria, the dorsal sac focused on N recycling, and the caudoventral blind sac identified the only phylum-level bacterium, Firmicutes; we were surprised to find a probiotic bacterium, Bacillus clausii, identified as a biomarker in the ventral sac. This research provides a better understanding of rumen fermentation parameters, microorganisms, and histomorphology in the Tarim wapiti rumen within a unique ecological habitat, laying the groundwork for future regulation targeting the rumen microbiota and subsequent animal production improvement.

Dry eye disease (DED) is the most common disease affecting vision and quality of life. PM2.5 was a potential risk of DED. Herein, we conducted animal exposure and cell-based studies to evaluate the pathogenic effect of PM2.5 exposure on the ocular surface and DED etiological mechanisms. C57 mice were exposed to filtered air and PM2.5 aerosol. We assessed health conditions and inflammation of the ocular surface by corneal fluorescein staining and immunohistochemistry. In parallel, cultured human corneal epithelial cells (HCETs) were treated with PM2.5, followed by characterization of cell viability, intracellular ATP level, mitochondrial activities, and expression level of DED relevant mRNA and proteins. In mice, PM2.5 exposure induced severe superficial punctate keratopathy and inflammation in their cornea. In HCETs, cell proliferation and ROS generation followed dose-response and time-dependent manner; meanwhile, mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) level increased and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) level decreased. Inflammation cascade was triggered even after short-term exposure. The reduction of ATP production was alleviated with Nrf2 overexpression, NF-κB P65 knockdown, or ROS clearance. Nrf2 overexpression and P65 knockdown reduced inflammatory reaction through decreasing expression of P65 and increasing of Nrf2, respectively. They partly alleviated changes of ROS/mtROS/MMP. This research proved that PM2.5 would cause DED-related inflammation reaction on corneal epithelial cells and further explored its mechanism: ROS from mitochondrial dysfunctions of corneal epithelial cells after PM2.5 exposure partly inhibited the expression of anti-inflammatory protein Nrf2 led the activation of inflammatory protein P65 and its downstream molecules, which finally caused inflammation reaction.

To investigate the tolerability and safety of two sublingual tree pollen extracts approved in 2018, a non-interventional study (NIS) was performed. This NIS was an 8-month observational study conducted at 84 sites throughout Germany. Study participants received either a sublingual liquid allergen extract of birch pollen (SBPE) or a liquid allergen extract consisting of a mixture of birch, hazel, and alder tree pollen (STPE). Data from 432 patients were analyzed for the occurrence of adverse events and patient compliance. At least one local reaction occurred in 69 (22.2%) patients, whereas systemic reactions were only observed in 27 (6.3%) patients. STPE-treated patients developed systemic reactions more frequently than SBPE-treated patients (SBPE: 9 (4.3%) vs. STPE: 18 (8.0%)). Only one patient developed a systemic grade III reaction. Severe systemic grade IV reactions were not observed. A total of 348 (98.6%) of the patients who completed all visits were satisfied or very satisfied with the sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), and 322 (71%) patients completed all visits. Both investigated products were well tolerated by the patients and demonstrated a good safety profile. AEs were observed less frequently than in the preceding clinical phase III trial, and no new safety concerns were identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a novel approach for modeling Boost converters using the Caputo–Fabrizio (C-F) definition-based fractional-order model to address singular characteristics in fractional-order definitions and enhance model accuracy. A small signal modeling method is proposed to improve the accuracy of circuit parameter design and to derive state-averaged models, state-space equations, and transfer functions. The influence of capacitor and inductor orders on steady-state characteristics is analyzed and the influence of fractional-order on ripple characteristics is investigated through simulation. When the fractional-order approaches 1, the output voltage increases and the inductance current decreases, with waveform jitter mitigation. Moreover, boundary conditions for continuous conduction mode operation are established based on ripple characteristics. The numerical and circuit-oriented simulations verify the correctness of the proposed model. Finally, the orders and accurate parameters of capacitors and inductors based on the C-F definition are determined and the experiments are conducted. The comparison between the experimental and simulation results demonstrates that the proposed model can accurately describe the steady-state characteristics of the practical circuit systems, which further validates the accuracy of the proposed method.

According to the demand of image quality improvement, the color gamut standard has been adjusted from DCI‐P3 to BT.2020. At present, the color gamut of some QD products can reach 80%~90%, while that of white OLED products is only about 75%. In this paper, the composite film with SiO2/SiNX distributed Bragg resonator (DBR) structure is designed and studied. The results show that the film can form a strong microcavity structure with simultaneous enhancement of RGB for white OLED devices, which overcomes the bottleneck that the strong microcavity structure can't be used in white OLED devices. It can effectively improve the performance of OLED devices, and at the same time, it has the water vapor barrier effect. It can realize the integration of multiple effects such as high color gamut, low power consumption and reliability improvement in product applications. Using the refractive index difference of SiO2/SiNx thin film, the DBR structure was fabricated by carefully designing the thickness. Based on this DBR structure, a white OLED device is fabricated. The external quantum efficiency of the device is improved, and the color gamut is up to 85% (BT.2020), which is 11.2% higher than that of the device without DBR structure. Compared with the device without DBR structure, it has reached the QD display level, and the white light power consumption is reduced by 34.1%, HDR power consumption is reduced by 20.3%, and the overall performance is greatly improved. It provides technical support for products with high color gamut, low power consumption and long life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bacterial endophthalmitis (BE) is an acute eye infection and potentially irreversible blinding ocular disease. The empirical intravitreous injection of antibiotic is the primary treatment once diagnosed as BE. However, the overuse of antibiotic contributes to the drug resistance of pathogens and the retinal toxicity of antibiotic limits its application in clinic. Herein, a cationic aggregation‐induced emission luminogens named with triphenylamine thiophen pyridinium (TTPy) is reported for photodynamic treatment of BE. TTPy can selectively discriminate and kill bacteria efficiently over normal ocular cells. More importantly, TTPy shows excellent antibacterial ability in BE rat models infected by Staphylococcus aureus. Meanwhile, the bacterial killing behavior triggered by TTPy induces innate immune response at an early stage of infection, limiting subsequent robust inflammation and protecting retina from bacterial toxins and inflammation‐induced bystander damage. In addition, TTPy performs better antibacterial ability than commercially used Rose Bengal, suggesting its excellent capability of vision salvage in acute BE. This study exhibits an efficient photodynamic antibacterial treatment to BE, which induces an early intraocular immune response and saves useful vision, endowing TTPy a promising potential for clinical application of ocular infections.

The Caputo–Fabrizio (C–F) definition, which solves the singularity problem in the Caputo definition, has been preliminarily applied in the field of circuit system modeling. However, the complex characteristics of the C–F definition-based circuit systems are still understudied. Therefore, this paper proposes a C–F definition-based fractional-order RLC (CF-FORLC) circuit model and analyzes its basic characteristics. First, the effects of different component orders on the performance parameters including the impedance, quality factor, and bandwidth are analyzed, which gives insights into the design of CF-FORLC. Then, the analytical solutions and the frequency-domain characteristics of CF-FORLC with different capacitance and inductance orders under arbitrary input are derived. Finally, the data of actual circuits are fitted to obtain the parameters of the CF-FORLC model, and the orders of the C–F definition-based capacitors and inductors are estimated. The results of the comparative experiments show that the proposed modeling scheme can improve the consistency of the dynamic performance of the model with that of the actual circuit. In addition, the proposed CF-FORLC model shows higher accuracy and flexibility with more adjustable parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Next generation WOLED displays demand high color gamut and low power consumption, but it is a severe challenge for the WOLED display technology to meet the needs for high color gamut and low power consumption simultaneously. In this paper, with the optimization of WOLED spectrum which was well matched with CF, wide color gamut close to 99% at DCI‐P3 standard and lower power consumption of W/R/G/B as well as BDR power consumption is obtained.

Many electrical systems can be characterized more authentically by fractional-order dynamic systems. The Atangana–Baleanu and the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivatives have solved the singularity problem in Caputo derivative. This work uses Atangana–Baleanu and Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivatives to model the fractional-order mutual inductance in the frequency domain. To use the fractional mutual inductance in circuit design, the T-model equivalent circuits are presented with different fractional derivatives. The fractional impedance matching networks based on proposed fractional mutual coupling circuits are simulated as an application. The impedance characteristics of networks with different fractional orders are analyzed. The results indicate that the proposed fractional mutual coupling circuits based on Atangana–Baleanu and Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivatives can be applied to the complex electrical systems to increase the design degree of freedom, which provides more choices for describing the nonlinear characteristics of the system.

Transcriptional profiling data accumulated in recent years for the clinically relevant pathogen Staphylococcus aureus have established a cell wall stress stimulon, which comprises a coordinately regulated set of genes that are upregulated in response to blockage of cell wall biogenesis. In particular, the expression of cwrA (SA2343, N315 notation), which encodes a putative 63 amino acid polypeptide of unknown biological function, increases over 100-fold in response to cell wall inhibition. Herein, we seek to understand the biological role that this gene plays in S. aureus, cwrA was found to be robustly induced by all cell wall-targeting antibiotics tested--vancomycin, oxacillin, penicillin G, phosphomycin, imipenem, hymeglusin and bacitracin --but not by antibiotics with other mechanisms of action, including ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol, triclosan, rifampicin, novobiocin and carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone. Although a [DELTA]cwrA S. aureus strain had no appreciable shift in MICs for cell wall-targeting antibiotics, the knockout was shown to have reduced cell wall integrity in a variety of other assays. Additionally, the gene was shown to be important for virulence in a mouse sepsis model of infection. DOI 10.1099/mic.0.036129-0

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a multifactor disease, which is primarily characterized by retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell loss. Since the retina is the most metabolically active tissue, RPE cells are exposed to consistent oxidative environment. So, oxidation-induced RPE cell death has long been considered a contributor to the onset of AMD. Here, we applied a retinal degeneration (RD) rat model induced by blue light-emitting diode (LED) and a cell model constructed by H2O2 stimulus to mimic the prooxidant environment of the retina. We detected that the expression of miR-27a was upregulated and the expression of FOXO1 was downregulated in both models. So, we furtherly investigated the role of miR-27a-FOXO1 axis in RPE in protesting against oxidants. Lentivirus-mediated RNA was injected intravitreally into rats to modulate the miR-27a-FOXO1 axis. Retinal function and histopathological changes were evaluated by electroretinography (ERG) analysis and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, respectively. Massive photoreceptor and RPE cell death were examined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The damage to the retina was aggravated in the FOXO1 gene-knockdown and miR-27a-overexpression groups after exposure to LED but was alleviated in the FOXO1 gene-overexpression or miR-27a-knockdown groups. Dual luciferase assay was used to detect the binding site of miR-27a and FOXO1. Upregulated miR-27a inhibited the expression of FOXO1 by directly binding to the FOXO1 mRNA 3 ′ UTR and decreased the autophagy activity of ARPE-19 cells, resulting in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decrease of cell viability. The results suggest that miR-27a is a negative regulator of FOXO1. Also, our data emphasize the prominent role of miR-27a/FOXO1 axis in modulating ROS accumulation and cell death in RPE cell model under oxidative stress and influencing the retinal function in the LED-induced RD rat model.

This study employs the Caputo–Fabrizio and Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivatives to determine the impedance and admittance model of fractional capacitor and inductor. The analog implementation circuits are proposed aiming at fractional-order electric elements based on these two derivatives, which can be widely used in a variety of electrical systems using new fractional operators. Constant phase capacitor and inductor are approximated by the Oustaloup algorithm and the recursive net-grid-type analog circuit, respectively. Based on that, approximation circuits of fractional electric components under Caputo–Fabrizio and Atangana–Baleanu definitions are given. For the purpose of judging whether the implementation topology of fractional-order capacitor and inductor is accurate, taking fractional RC and RL circuit defined by Caputo, Caputo–Fabrizio and Atangana–Baleanu derivatives as examples, the comparison of numerical and circuit simulations is carried out. The correctness of the analog implementation circuits using the Caputo–Fabrizio and Atangana–Baleanu definitions is verified. Fractional-order RC charging circuit experiments based on Caputo, Caputo–Fabrizio and Atangana–Baleanu derivatives are taken as examples. Several experiments with different fractional-order and circuit parameters are carried out. The validity of the implementation methods is ulteriorly proved with experiment data.

"Fangfeng" in Chinese Materia Medica refers to the dried root of Saposhnikovia divaricata (Trucz.) Schischk. The confusion regarding the species emerged centuries ago. Various medicinal plants from the family Umbelliferae have been documented under the name Fangfeng or other similar names in different areas of China. However, the efficacy and chemical profiles of these herbs can vary widely. In recent years, studies on medicinal material markets have revealed that "ChoutaiFangfeng" and "ShiFangfeng" are sold as Fangfeng. Previous studies on the differences among these herbs were not accurate; therefore, comprehensive authentication of these species is required. Investigation of the microscopic features of the transverse sections and powders of herbs is of great significance in identifying traditional Chinese medicine. This approach offers the advantages of easy operation and rapid results. In this study, microscopic observation of cross‐sectional tissues and powders of the herbs was performed using common light microscopy and polarized light microscopy, respectively, to identify Fangfeng, ChoutaiFangfeng, and ShiFangfeng. We found that phloem, clefts, and other significant tissue characteristics can be used to distinguish Fangfeng herbs. The developed method can also be applied to distinguish counterfeits of Fangfeng. Moreover, the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of Fangfeng and its two adulterants were determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Background Several clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of fluconazole as empiric antifungal therapy in cancer patients with fever and neutropenia. Our objective was to assess the frequency and resource utilization associated with treatment failure in cancer patients given empiric fluconazole antifungal therapy in routine inpatient care. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study of cancer patients treated with oral or intravenous fluconazole between 7/97 and 6/01 in a tertiary care hospital. The final study cohort included cancer patients with neutropenia (an absolute neutrophil count below 500 cells/mm3) and fever (a temperature above 38°C or 100.4°F), who were receiving at least 96 hours of parenteral antibacterial therapy prior to initiating fluconazole. Patients' responses to empiric therapy were assessed by reviewing patient charts. Results Among 103 cancer admissions with fever and neutropenia, treatment failure after initiating empiric fluconazole antifungal therapy occurred in 41% (95% confidence interval (CI) 31% – 50%) of admissions. Patients with a diagnosis of hematological malignancy had increased risk of treatment failure (OR = 4.6, 95% CI 1.5 – 14.8). When treatment failure occurred the mean adjusted increases in length of stay and total costs were 7.4 days (95% CI 3.3 – 11.5) and $18,925 (95% CI 3,289 – 34,563), respectively. Conclusion Treatment failure occurred in more than one-third of neutropenic cancer patients on fluconazole as empiric antifungal treatment for fever in routine clinical treatment. The increase in costs when treatment failure occurs is substantial.

There is an increasing attention paid to improving transparent conductive electrodes for applications in highly transparent and large area displays. We optimized top‐emitting blue organic light‐emitting diodes (TE‐BOLEDs) using hybrid cathode consisting of a thermally evaporated Mg/Ag capped with IZO. The device of cd/A/CIEy which used the hybrid cathode improved by 20% more than that with the identical organic layers and conventional Mg/Ag cathode. Meanwhile the transparency increased by 13% and sheet resistance decreased by half. Balancing the device performance, transparency and resistivities, different hybrid cathode structure could meet various requirements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Highly efficient tandem blue OLEDs based on fluorescent materials were developed for quantum dot OLED applications. We optimize the optical micro‐cavity structure for maximal efficiency, and the dependence of luminescence on the thickness uniformity is theoretically and experimentally confirmed with two different type of blue emitters. We also demonstrate that the selection of charge generation layer (CGL) and electrontransporting material adjacent to CGL have significant impact on the electroluminescence performance of the tandem blue OLEDs. Here, a two‐stack tandem blue OLED achieves a current efficiency of 13.3 cd/A with a CIE coordinate of (0.137, 0.047) and a blue index (BI) of 287, which is approximately 1.7 times higher than that of single unit.

A set of top‐emitting OLED with wide‐color gamut and high‐efficiency were successfully fabricated by using 3‐stacked B/RG/B tandem structure and color filter. Optimization of MgAg and Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO) composite structure made the devices with IZO served as capping layer almost identical to the devices with conventional organic capping layer. On the whole, they exhibited 90% color gamut coverage of the ultra‐high definition display standard BT.2020, while maintaining high efficiency of red 15.5 cd/A, green 26.6 cd/A, blue 3.5 cd/A. The impressive properties make them applicable to a variety of occasions, such as the medium‐sized notebook monitors, emerging high‐specification virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies, and special medical displays.

Purpose. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to assess the percent reduction in the intraocular pressure (IOP) after argon laser peripheral iridoplasty (ALPI) and systemic medical therapy in patients with acute primary angle closure (APAC). Methods. We searched a number of electronic databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane Library. We searched the electronic databases from the inception of the databases to August 2018. The primary outcomes included the IOP reduction (IOPR), percent reduction in IOP (IOPR%) from baseline to the endpoint and peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS). The secondary outcomes included the cup-to-disc ratio (CDR), mean endothelial count, and percent of patients requiring topical glaucoma medication. Summary weighted mean difference (WMD), odds ratio (OR), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Results. Four eligible studies including 183 eyes (92 in the ALPI group and 91 in the medical therapy group) were identified. When comparing ALPI to medical therapy, the WMDs of the IOPR% were 30.03 (95% CI: 21.33 to 38.72, p<0.00001) at 15 minutes, 27.39 (95% CI: 18.89 to 35.89, p<0.00001) at 30 minutes, 18.15 (95% CI: 10.63 to 25.68, p<0.00001) at 1 hour, and 12.91 (95% CI: 4.50 to 21.32, p=0.003) at 2 hours. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at 24 hours and at more than 6 months after therapy. Meanwhile, no significant difference was observed in the degree of PAS, CDR, mean endothelial count, and percent of patients requiring topical glaucoma medication after treatment between the two groups. Conclusions. Both ALPI and systemic medications were effective with regard to decreasing the IOP. ALPI was more effective in lowering the IOP within the first two hours. Therefore, ALPI may be a better choice for rapidly lowering the IOP in patients with APAC within a short period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been regarded as one of the most promising technologies for future displays, and efficient encapsidation technology is the key to improve lifetime of OLED devices. Herein, we explore the injitience of different Ultraviolet (UV) lamps (High pressure mercury UV lamp (hereinafter abbreviated as mercury UV lamp) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) UV lamp) on OLED encapsulation filler curing efficiency and probe into the inherent causes. The results show that mercury UV lamp presents a higher filler curing efficiency than LED UV lamp, attributing to its wider light spectrum. Unfortunately, the short wavelength below 325 nm in mercury UV lamp light can cause fast deterioration for filler film. Obviously, this discovery has important guiding effect in optimized design of encapsulation process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
