Functional Organic Materials Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab develops organic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic solar cells.

AboutAbout the lab
Research as a driving force in organic electronics
The Functional Organic Materials Chemistry Lab studies devices such as organic solar cells and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) in the field of organic electronics.
The lab considers this field to be in its early stages, and believes that device structure, high-performance materials, and device fabrication processes must be studied together.
The lab's members have diverse backgrounds, including organic chemistry, materials chemistry, electrical and electronic engineering, condensed matter physics, and process systems engineering. Another feature is the large number of joint research projects with device manufacturers and materials manufacturers.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Fujita Lab."
Key terms
- Organic electronics
- A field that deals with electronic devices made from organic materials, such as organic solar cells, OLEDs, organic transistors, and organic memory
- ESDUS method
- A method of forming thin films by spraying an ultra-dilute solution and letting it evaporate. The name comes from the English initials (Evaporative Spray Deposition from Ultra-dilute Solution)
- Photodynamic therapy
- A cancer treatment that uses a drug called a photosensitizer together with light. The metronomic type applies weak light continuously over a long time
ResearchResearch themes
The lab carries out development research to extend organic devices to printed electronics, a key technology of the next generation. It approaches this from three aspects: device structure, high-performance materials, and device fabrication processes.
*Illustrative imageThin films from ultra-dilute solutions (ESDUS method)
The lab has achieved results in developing a method for making devices from ultra-dilute solutions (ESDUS) and in research on devices such as flexible devices.
*Illustrative imageMedical applications of organic electronics
This research applies organic semiconductors and OLEDs to medicine. In a co-authored paper, the lab investigated photodynamic therapy for liver cancer in rats, using a light source that combines an implantable OLED device with wireless power transfer.
*Illustrative imageFabrication and structural analysis of organic ultrathin films
Aiming at applications in organic electronics, the lab develops methods for fabricating organic ultrathin films, analyzes their structures, and extends them to devices.
