The lab makes bendable, stretchable electronic devices from organic materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating cutting-edge technology rooted in basic science
The Advanced Electronic Devices Lab studies how to precisely control the molecular structure, electronic states, and properties of organic materials, and applies this to flexible electronics and photonics.
It also works on making integrated circuits of organic transistors by printing, and on developing conductors that stretch and shrink like rubber.
Built on fundamentals such as quantum mechanics and solid-state physics, the lab lets students take part in every stage of device making, from material synthesis to circuit design, fabrication processes, and property evaluation.
The lab's website introduces the faculty and staff of the Sekitani Lab, Uemura Lab, and Araki Lab together.
Key terms
- Self-assembly
- A property of organic substances by which they organize themselves. It is used to arrange molecules finely and regularly.
- Organic transistor
- A device that uses an organic material as the semiconductor to control the flow of electricity.
- Carbon nanotube
- A nano-sized material in which carbon atoms are connected in a tube shape. It can be mixed into rubber to make it conductive.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the fusion of basic science and cutting-edge technology, precisely controlling the molecular structure, electronic states, and properties of organic materials to develop them into flexible electronics and photonics. Building on basic sciences such as mathematics and physics, it makes devices using a wide range of technologies and knowledge, from materials and circuits to fabrication processes and property evaluation.
*Illustrative imageOrganic Devices Using Self-Assembly
Organic substances have a property called self-assembly, in which they organize themselves. By programming single molecules a few nanometers long to use this phenomenon and arranging them finely and regularly, the lab aims to develop new types of thin-film devices.
*Illustrative imagePrinting and Circuit Design for Organic Electronics
Many organic materials dissolve in solvents, so they can be printed over large areas by methods such as inkjet printing. Using this printing technology to make integrated circuits of organic transistors, the lab aims to model printed transistors, create new types of devices, and explore new physical phenomena.
*Illustrative imageNew Functions of Nanomaterials and New Electronics
Using its own technique for dispersing carbon nanotubes uniformly in rubber, the lab developed a stretchable conductor that stretches like rubber and conducts electricity like metal. It clarifies the properties of new functional materials, aiming at stretchable organic electronics that can cover curved surfaces and moving parts.
*Illustrative imageSensors for Biosignals and Minute Signals
As responding to an aging population becomes a global challenge, flexible sensors that are gentle on the human body are drawing attention. The lab develops sensor systems using soft electronics such as organic process technology and stretchable wiring technology.
