Topical Session

"Forefront of functional films for optics"

Some thin films are categorized as "functional films" when the films are highly value-added by having functions derived from their own material properties such as electrical properties and are compatibly priced. It can be said that recent development in material processes and applications have opened a new phase of the R & D of the functional films. Among various functional films, the symposium focuses on the functional films for optics which are now attracting increasing attention of people in both science and technology and the following forefront researchers are invited to give talks on the latest information about the process, characterization, and industrial applications.

1. Prof. Yasushi Inoue (Nagoya University, The EcoTopia Science Institute): "Development of a new nanostructure control method: Enhancement of Adsorption-induced Electrochromic Properties by Introducing Microvillus-like Nanostructure"
2. Dr. Kiyoshi Yase (AIST): "Printed Electronics - Organic TFT Array Printed on Plastic Substrate"
3. Prof. Gyou-Jin Cho（Sunchon National University, Korea）: "Roll-to-Roll Printed 13.56 MHz Operated RFID-Sensor-Display Tags."
4. Dr. Michio Kondo (AIST): "Current status and future outlook of thin film solar cells"
