Hiroyoshi Fukuro, manager of the Nissan research centre and maybe one of the
most important researchers behind the breakthrough of LCD screens, will receive
a honorary doctorate at the Faculty of Science at the University
of Gothenburg, Sweden.

Hiroyoshi Fukuro’s contribution to the development and enormous breakthrough
of the LCD technology is internationally recognised. The 57-year-old chemist
is both the director of Nissan Chemical Industries, world leader within the
LCD (liquid crystal displays) technology with yearly revenues of almost 15 000
million SEK, and the manager of the Nissan Electronic Material Research Laboratories.
His honorary doctorate is a result of his long cooperation with researchers
at the Department of Physics.
Close cooperation
Fukuro has cooperated closely with and contributed greatly to the research
of the Liquid Crystal Group since 2002. Besides the invaluable service of offering
necessary research material, Nissan has, through Fukuro, started a long-term
research relationship with the objective to develop novel materials for the
next generation of LCDs.
Organic screen technology
Fukuro’s own research revolves around the development of materials for
new types of screens, for example those based on organic light-emitting diodes.
The research group’s accomplishments and international recognition would
not have been possible without Fukuro’s active participation, according
to Lachezar Komitov at the Department of Physics. ’It is a great honour
to receive this recognition. I am very thankful’, says Hiroyoshi Fukuro.
