About the Author Dr. Hongxing Jiang received his BS in Physics in 1981 from Fudan University, China. He came to US through the prestigious CUSPEA program created by Nobel laureate, Prof. Tsung-Dao Lee. He obtained PhD in Physics in 1986 from Syracuse University under the guidance of the late Prof. Arnold Honig, an academic descendant of the late Nobel laureate Prof. Charles Townes. He has been working on III-nitride semiconductors since 1995. His team has invented micro-LED technology in 2000, leading to the realization of self-emissive microdisplays and microLED large panel displays. Presently, microLED is recognized as the ultimate display technology and is championed by technology giants to take on large flat panel displays and VR/3D displays. Currently, he directs the Nanophotonics Center and is the inaugural Edward E. Whitacre Jr. endowed chair and Horn Distinguished Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Texas Tech University (TTU). He relocated his group to TTU in 2008 from Kansas State University where he was a University Distinguished Professor of Physics. He is the founder of 2 companies, III-N Technology, Inc. and AC-LED Lighting, LLC. His companies invented single-chip high voltage AC/DC-LEDs in 2002 and were also the first to realize video-capable self-emissive microLED microdisplay in VGA format via integration of MicroLEDs with CMOS IC in 2011, which transitioned MicroLED from prototype concept to reality and thereby stimulated worldwide efforts in MicroLED technology. High voltage DC/AC-LEDs have been commercialized worldwide, as AC-LEDs are capable to be plugged directly into standard power outlets or lamp sockets without power conversion, whereas the high voltage DC-LEDs have been widely used in automobile headlights by providing enhanced durability while reducing costs. He has been issued 19 patents. His group has recently realized boron nitride (BN) neutron detectors with a record high efficiency among solid-state detectors with the potential to displace the archaic He-3 gas detector technology. Prof. Jiang is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) , the American Physical Society (APS), the Optical Society of America (OSA), the SPIE - the international society for optics and photonics, and the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). Dr. Jingyu Lin received her BS in Physics in 1983 from the State University of New York College at Oneonta. She obtained PhD in Physics in 1989 from Syracuse University under the guidance of the late Prof. Arnold Honig (an academic descendant of the
