ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces applications in the optics, biology, energy, and electronics fields. Several functions of optical components fabricated by nanoimprinting have been reported. From an industrial viewpoint, displays are attractive application fields for nanoimprinting because liquid-crystal display panels have many optical components, such as light guides and light diffusers, color filters, and polarizers. A hybrid composed of nano- and microstructures is attractive for adding new properties to optical devices like this microlens. The template for hybrid nano- and microstructures is created by integrating the different kinds of template. Several types of fuel cells, such as a direct methanol fuel cells, polymer electrolyte fuel cells, phosphoric acid fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cells, solid-oxide fuel cells, and alkaline fuel cells, are well known. Electron-hole pairs are generated in the semiconductor layers by the light absorption. Electrons and holes are separated in the depletion layer at the interface of the p- and n-type semiconductor layers.
