The romantic notion of nature is a constructed reality, projected by man. Yuji Hamada investigates these contstructions. In his first (and celebrated) book 'Photograph' Hamada seeks to give form to light. In the book 'C M Y' Hamada explores the images of landscapes which surrounds us in our daily live, and influence our perspective on the landscape as we (want to) see it. Hamada deconstructs the images through a photographic process, and later constructs new images through a printing process. The book is made in close collaboration with graphic designer Hans Gremmen. Together they found new ways to print colour images, in order to create a new constructed reality.0.

Reports on the progress in organic materials that can glow a number of different colors; may soon be used in a number of applications such as panel displays, backlights of liquid crystal displays, indicator lights, light sources for optical communication, watches, toys, and microwave ovens; and has already been used in a prototype of a 40-inch color plasma display panel. The topics include electron processes in organic electroluminescence, making polymer light-emitting diodes with polythiophenes, electroluminescence and photoluminescence in fullerenes, chelate metal complexes, white-light-emitting diodes, the growth and characterization of display devices using vacuum-deposited organic materials. and novel fabrication techniques for devices.
