Recently, organic electronic devices such as light emitting diodes and transistors, have been receiving much interests. Furthermore, process and evaluation methods in nano-meter films and interfaces have been largely improved, and nano-structured organic and composite thin films are quite important for applications of electronic devices and sensors. The committee was established in April 2004 with the term of three years. The investigation has focused attention on the functions of nano-structured organic and composite thin films and device applications related to:

1.	fabrication techniques and novel functions of nano-structured organic thin films,
2.	composite techniques and novel functions of nano-structured organic/inorganic materials,
3.	optical and electrical properties of nano-structured organic and organic/inorganic composite thin films and the nano-interfaces,and
4.	device and sensor applications of nano-structured organic and organic/inorganic composite thin films.

The technical report includes the results of the investigation in five chapters, "Introduction", "Technologies of nano-structure control", "Evaluations of nano-structures and functions of organic and composite films", "Device and sensor applications of nano-structured organic and composite films" and "Conclusion". Investigations on the properties and novel functions of nano-structured organic thin films and organic/inorganic composite thin films are very useful for new functional devices in the future.
