A light-emitting device 100 has ITO transparent electrode layers 8, 10 used for applying drive voltage for light-emission to a light-emitting layer section 24, and is designed so as to extract light from the light-emitting layer section 24 through the ITO transparent electrode layers 8, 10. The light-emitting device 100 also has contact layers composed of In-containing GaAs, formed between the light-emitting layer section 24 and the ITO transparent electrode layers 8, 10, so as to contact with the ITO transparent electrode layers respectively. The contact layers 7, 9 are formed by annealing a stack 13 obtained by forming GaAs layers 7′, 9′ on the light-emitting layer section, and by forming the ITO transparent electrode layers 8, 10 so as to contact with the GaAs layers 7′, 9′, to thereby allow In to diffuse from the ITO transparent electrode layers 8, 10 into the GaAs layers 7′, 9′. This provides a method of fabricating a light-emitting device, in which the ITO transparent electrode layers as the light-emission drive electrodes are bonded as being underlain by the contact layers, to thereby reduce contact resistance of these electrodes, and to thereby make the contact layers less susceptible to difference in the lattice constants with those of the light-emitting layer section during the formation thereof.

An electrical connector is constructed with at least one pin configured to provide different resistance values as the pin is engaged with a socket. When the connector is fully engaged with the socket the resistance of the connector is at a zero or minimal value. When the pin first contacts the socket, the pin includes a high series resistance minimizing the sudden inrush of current to an electrical device, and minimizing any arcing between the pin and the socket. As the pin engages the socket this series resistance decreases allowing the electronic device to utilize its full designed current with only minimal contact resistance between the pin and the socket.

Cobalt polypyridine complexes are interesting alternative redox mediators for large scale manufacturing of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) since they are less aggressive towards metal contacts and absorb less light than iodide/triiodide. Here we have examined the effect of steric properties of triphenylamine-based organic sensitizers and cobalt polypyridine redox mediators on the electron lifetime and overall device performance in DSCs. Matching the steric bulk of the dye and redox mediator was found to minimize recombination and mass transport problems in DSCs employing cobalt redox mediators. Recombination was efficiently slowed down by introducing insulating butoxyl chains on the dye, allowing the use of a cobalt redox mediator with a less steric bulk. The best efficiency of DSCs sensitized with a triphenylamine-based organic dye in combination with cobalt(II/III) tris(2,2′-bipyridyl) match the highest efficiencies obtained so far with iodide-free electrolytes, reaching a 6.3% overall conversion efficiency under AMI.5 condition (1000 Wm-2) and an efficiency of 7.8% at 1/10 of a sun. Organic dyes with high extinction coefficient can thus be used instead of standard ruthenium sensitizers to build thin films DSCs in order to overcome mass transport and recombination limitations associated with the cobalt redox couples. DSCs sensitized with organic dyes employing cobalt redox mediators are promising for low light intensity applications since the efficiency and voltage is high at indoor illumination.
