Yahachi Saito is Professor Emeritus at Nagoya University, Japan, and a fellow at Toyota Physical and Chemical Research Institute, Japan. He has also been a professor at Toyohashi University of Technology and Mie University, Japan, and a visiting scientist at AT&T Bell Laboratories. His area of expertise encompasses the synthesis, characterization, and application of nanometer-scale materials, especially inorganic atomic clusters and fine particles, fullerene, CNTs, and graphene. He has studied CNT-field emitters since 1996, collaborating with Noritake Itron Corp. since 1997 for the development of display devices using CNT as a cold cathode. They demonstrated the world’s first CNT-based display device at the SID International Conference in 1998.
