The lab builds electronic devices from organic materials and also applies them to medicine.
AboutAbout the lab
Making electronic devices from organic materials
The Functional Organic Materials Chemistry Lab studies organic electronics, including organic solar cells, organic EL, organic transistors, and organic memory, with a focus on materials development, device physics, and device fabrication processes.
By developing methods for making organic ultrathin films and analyzing their structures, the lab works toward applying them in devices.
In collaboration with other researchers, the lab is also working on applying organic EL to photodynamic therapy using implantable devices.
The lab's website presents it under the name "Functional Organic Materials Chemistry Lab."
Key terms
- Photodynamic therapy
- A cancer treatment that uses a light-sensitive drug (photosensitizer) and light. Approaches that apply low-intensity light continuously are also being studied.
- ESDUS
- A device fabrication method in which an ultra-dilute solution is sprayed and evaporated to form a film. The solution concentration is at the ppm level.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies materials development, device physics, and device fabrication processes for organic electronics, including organic solar cells, organic EL, organic transistors, and organic memory. Its work ranges from fabricating organic ultrathin films and analyzing their structures, to applying them in devices and in medicine.
Medical Applications of Organic EL
This research applies organic semiconductors and organic EL to medicine. In collaboration with other researchers, the lab is advancing photodynamic therapy in which ultrathin organic EL devices combined with wireless power supply are implanted in the body and deliver continuous low-intensity light.
