These approaches often suffer from high latency, limited efficiency, and privacy concerns, making them unsuitable for real-time or edge-level intelligent vision. Here, a 2D Time-Stretching Anisotropic Synapse (2D TSAS) is reported that enables in-sensor intensity-spanning feature fusion from a single image frame. The 2D TSAS uniquely integrates two key features of NbOI<sub>2</sub> material: in-plane anisotropy, which gives rise to polarization-resolved optical responses, and a time-stretching photoresponse arising from multi-channel transition-relaxation. This dual-mode mechanism enables direct encoding and temporal integration of spatial-polarization and luminance features during photoexcitation. Leveraging this behavior, a neuromorphic preprocessing strategy is constructed for single-shot visual learning across extreme brightness domains. The system achieves accelerated model convergence with minimal training loss, reaching recognition accuracies of ≈95.41% on NWPU-RESISC45 and ≈95.39% on MNIST.

Although internal quantum efficiency (IQE) has reached unity, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of LEDs utilizing spherical quantum dots (QDs) is limited by low light outcoupling efficiency (η<sub>out</sub>). A promising approach to improve η<sub>out</sub> is using horizontal alignment of nanocrystals' transition dipole moments, such as aligned quantum rods (QRs), which provide directional light emission. Though the IQE for QRs has recently improved significantly, creating efficient and bright green-emitting QRs (515-560 nm) remains a big challenge, which is essential for full-color display applications. In this study, a uniform and highly bright green-emitting CdSe/Zn<sub>x</sub>Cd<sub>1-x</sub>S QRs of gradient shell structure are synthesized with minimized shell thickness and reduced Zn content, coupled with shorter organic ligands to reduce the energy barriers and enhance carriers injection. The electron leakage current at the interface between the polymeric hole transport layer (HTL) and QRs is the primary factor limiting the QRLED's performance. HTL with a higher energy offset is employed to prevent electron leakage at the organic/inorganic interface. Furthermore, is developed a bilayer HTL that enhances hole injections while minimizing electron leakage, thereby improving charge balance.
