His first research activities were focused on charged particle optics and application in display devices. They gave the matter of PhD degree. Since 1994, he was engaged in project cooperation between Southeast University and Philips Company. He had designed a few new electron guns for cathode ray tubes, and he also investigated the method to improve the sensitivity of deflection coil.
Now, his research fields covers the nano materials for displays, field effect transistor based on nano wires, 3D display technologies, and micro-displays. He has published more than 300 hundred papers in the scientific journals, and give more than 30 invited talkings and oral presentations in the conference. Besides this, he has got 32 patents. Since 1995, he has finished 22 collaborative projects between university and display industries.
