Messages from Our Friends Access and Enquiry Tohoku MITRAI Course, Master s Program Graduate School of Science and Engineering. The research in this course will focus on functional materials that could be applied to medicine, bio-instrumentation, and production of environmental-friendly biomass and metabolic energy. Graduate School of Science and Engineering (Engineer Field), YAMAGATA UNIVERSITY, JAPAN The staffs who have the various grounds in electronics, informatics, mechanical engineering and physics are carrying out the interdisciplinary researches between life sciences and systems engineering. It is one year and a half since I entered into Management of Technology Course, Graduate School, Yamagata University. To look back one year and a half, I have learned much and the days are significant. When I stepped my feet in this country, I hardly could speak Japanese, but now I m fortunate to pass the first degree of Japanese Language Proficiency Test and the experiences about Japanese culture. Several home stays here enables me to appreciate Japanese life more. The fluency of the language helps me open another cultural door. In my home university, my major was Industrial Process so that I can study both technical production and technological management. I m much obliged to deeper study of both fields. I come to understand the way of thinking through studying of productive innovation, global management and business. For deeper understanding, I m getting the chance to visit local companies and to practice internships. These chances also give me how to promote the enterprises in my own country. The seasonal changes are what I like most in Yamagata. It gets cold in the winter time and snows quite a lot. In the spring time, the cherry trees look just like a painting. In the autumn, the rice field take on a golden glow. Sweet grapes, pears, apples, and other fruits ripen, and the fall foliage is a colorful sight. That tranquility followed me into lab and accompanied with me in all difficulties and busy researches. My course officially began from autumn 2005 in Department of, Faculty of Engineering at Yamagata University, after one year for making acquainted with Japanese and a new lifetime. The experimental time occupied all my mind except worrying of learning Japanese. Plenty of encouragements from my professors and my lab mates made me a warm feeling and helped me overcome failures in researches. Spending on failing jobs, my researches obtained so good results that I sensed as a Eureka feeling. How happy it was! The PhD course went through academic research, discussion group and independent thinking trained me an invaluable methodological thought, which, I am thinking, is useful for me whenever and wherever. Conferences, special international conferences, gave me new viewpoints about relationships and close interactions between academic science and industries so much. All over above, the skill for communications and frequent exchanging knowledge between researchers are very important thing for a promising co-operation in the future. Yamagata City CHINA Bioengineering This course will focus on analyzing and understanding the fascinating biological system at cellular and genetic level. The knowledge of the biological system combined with electronic devices (such as artificial intelligence, robots, and bio-instrumentation) could be eventually applied to medicine, creation of materials, and production of environment friendly biomass. has played a major role in the advancement of the current advanced information society, and will continue to play even an increasingly essential role. and This course aims at raising the highly sensitive researchers of technology in addition to the most progressive study in various fields like electronics, information and life science.

This course aims to produce the doctoral researchers with embodying both systematic theory and practical ability in such an industrial society. Organic EL Research The EL of organic EL stands for electroluminescence, which means to make fluorescent organic thin films emit light by applying voltage to them. An organic EL element is a flat light emitting element developed through the use of this phenomenon. Organic EL elements emit light, and organic EL displays provide clear images, like TV images and are flat-like liquid crystal displays. Also, if plastic films are used as substrate materials, organic EL, displays can be folded or bent. They can be used for light-emitting signs, organic fluorescent lamps, and super flat TVs. Their use in such TVs is now eagerly anticipated. In the future, organic EL element displays will be used in 100-inch or larger displays to be released in the market. They have a simple structure and are expected to be easily manufactured at relatively low costs. R&D on organic EL is conducted abroad as well as in Japan, but Japan boasts the top technological level in this field among various countries. In particular, Yamagata University is playing a central role in the research into organic EL in Japan. We must constantly develop innovative ideas to continue to be at the forefront in this field. In order to develop engineers who will lead Japan s, an indeed the world s industry, and who can contribute to society, the University s graduate School of Science and Engineering is inviting those who are interested natural science and engineering technologies, those who do everything with a deep curiosity, and those who can make decisions and take action while adopting a wide view and in consideration of society, to apply for the Graduate School. Please make your dream come true ad present your abilities on a global scale by studying here at the Graduate School. Professor Junji KIDO

To look back one year and a half, I have learned much and the days are significant. When I stepped my feet in this country, I hardly could speak Japanese, but now I m fortunate to pass the first degree of Japanese Language Proficiency Test and the experiences about Japanese culture. Several home stays here enables me to appreciate Japanese life more. The fluency of the language helps me open another cultural door. In my home university, my major was Industrial Process so that I can study both technical production and technological management. I m much obliged to deeper study of both fields. I come to understand the way of thinking through studying of productive innovation, global management and business. For deeper understanding, I m getting the chance to visit local companies and to practice internships. These chances also give me how to promote the enterprises in my own country. The seasonal changes are what I like most in Yamagata. It gets cold in the winter time and snows quite a lot. In the spring time, the cherry trees look just like a painting. In the autumn, the rice field take on a golden glow. Sweet grapes, pears, apples, and other fruits ripen, and the fall foliage is a colorful sight. That tranquility followed me into lab and accompanied with me in all difficulties and busy researches. My course officially began from autumn 2005 in Department of, Faculty of Engineering at Yamagata University, after one year for making acquainted with Japanese and a new lifetime. The experimental time occupied all my mind except worrying of learning Japanese. Plenty of encouragements from my professors and my lab mates made me a warm feeling and helped me overcome failures in researches. Spending on failing jobs, my researches obtained so good results that I sensed as a Eureka feeling. How happy it was! The PhD course went through academic research, discussion group and independent thinking trained me an invaluable methodological thought, which, I am thinking, is useful for me whenever and wherever. Conferences, special international conferences, gave me new viewpoints about relationships and close interactions between academic science and industries so much. All over above, the skill for communications and frequent exchanging knowledge between researchers are very important thing for a promising co-operation in the future.

Organic EL Research The EL of organic EL stands for electroluminescence, which means to make fluorescent organic thin films emit light by applying voltage to them. An organic EL element is a flat light emitting element developed through the use of this phenomenon. Organic EL elements emit light, and organic EL displays provide clear images, like TV images and are flat-like liquid crystal displays. Also, if plastic films are used as substrate materials, organic EL, displays can be folded or bent. They can be used for light-emitting signs, organic fluorescent lamps, and super flat TVs. Their use in such TVs is now eagerly anticipated. In the future, organic EL element displays will be used in 100-inch or larger displays to be released in the market. They have a simple structure and are expected to be easily manufactured at relatively low costs. R&D on organic EL is conducted abroad as well as in Japan, but Japan boasts the top technological level in this field among various countries. In particular, Yamagata University is playing a central role in the research into organic EL in Japan. We must constantly develop innovative ideas to continue to be at the forefront in this field. In order to develop engineers who will lead Japan s, an indeed the world s industry, and who can contribute to society, the University s graduate School of Science and Engineering is inviting those who are interested natural science and engineering technologies, those who do everything with a deep curiosity, and those who can make decisions and take action while adopting a wide view and in consideration of society, to apply for the Graduate School. Please make your dream come true ad present your abilities on a global scale by studying here at the Graduate School. Professor Junji KIDO
