Preface

The Japanese Research Association for Organic Electronics Materials (JOEM) was established as an independent nonprofit organization in 1984. At that time, the electronics industry had been growing rapidly, and companies and their researchers were searching for the technologies and science of not only silicon and compound semiconductor materials but also organic semiconductor materials and organic conductive materials. Dr. Yoshio Taniguchi, who was working for Hitachi Ltd. then, had recognized that organic substances were promising materials in the field of electronics, and with his colleagues he coined the terms “organic electronics” and “organic electronics materials.” Dr. Taniguchi and his colleagues founded the JOEM in order to stimulate the research activities of organic electronics materials among academia, governmental institutes, and industries by providing the opportunities for communication and discussion. For the past 30 years, a large number of researchers in academia and industry have been studying and developing organic electronics. There are many unsolved obstacles, but there have been significant advanc
