Thin Film Research Center

Aiming to contribute to invigorating local industries by promoting advanced research, creating new projects, and developing competent human resources

The Thin Film Research Center was established to expand applications in photonics, one of the key technologies in the 21st century, by exploiting thin film technology, a major focus in advanced nanotechnology. Under the NEDO Photocatalyst Project and joint academia-industry projects, the Center is currently conducting production and evaluation of thin films, using a surface and interfacial cutting analysis system. Research results are widely disseminated inside and outside the university. Specific research projects underway include organic electroluminescent devices, inorganic thin film solar cells, film surface modification, adhesion/bonding processes, and surface/interface physical properties. By actively promoting such research, the Center seeks to educate and develop highly talented human resources, as well as contribute to the development of local industries.
