9. LCD
Learn about liquid crystal devices.

10. Other devices
Learn about other applications such as optical and biochemical sensors.

11. Presentation preparation
Preparing slides of organic devices related to each student's research
If a student has difficulty finding a relation to their research field, they will be given a theme for presentation.

12. Presentation 1
Presenting students' research using the materials prepared in the previous class

13. Presentation 2
 Continuation from last time

14. Summary
 Review the contents of the 1st through 13th classes

15. Confirmation of learning outcomes
　Final exam

Grades will be determined by both the presentation and the final exam, with each accounting for 50% of the final grade.
Grading is based on a 6-point scale from A+ to F. To pass the course, a minimum grade of D is required.
If you fail to submit the presentation materials by the specified deadline or do not attend the presentation or the final exam, you will be disqualified from evaluation and receive a failing grade.

Feedback will be provided to students in the 14th lecture.

Monday 4th-6th period (14:10-19:00)
