Since 2013, our group “Research Group for Flexible Technologies” (Nakada/Furukawa/Yuki/Koden group) has developed practical technologies on flexible organic electronics, having collaborations with industry. The activity of this group is terminated in March 2023, when Profs Nakada and Koden leave Yamagata University. Mr. Furukawa and Dr. Yuki continue the individual collaborative researches with industry, respectively. The contact addresses of our main member are shown below after March 2023.
