Ken-Ichiro Kanno has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8785671
    Abstract: The present invention provides a 6,13-dihalogen-5,14-dihydropentacene derivative and a method for production thereof. Compounds (b) and (c) are reacted through cross-coupling reaction in the presence of a metal compound and a lithiating agent to synthesize compound (d), which is then halogenated to thereby obtain a 6,13-dihalogen-5,14-dihydropentacene derivative (compound (e)). [wherein X1 and X2 are each a halogen atom, and R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are each a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted C1-C20 hydrocarbon group, etc.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 4, 2011
    Date of Patent: July 22, 2014
    Assignee: National University Corporation Hokkaido University

  • Patent number: 8115197
    Abstract: An organic semiconductor material is provided. The organic semiconductor material includes a polyacene derivative expressed by the following general formula (1): where each of R1 to R10 may be independently the same substituents or different substituents but all of R1, R4, R5, R6, R9 and R10 may never be hydrogen atoms at the same time, and where each of R1 to R10 is at least one kind of substituent selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having a substituent and of which number of carbon atoms ranges of from 1 to 20, an aromatic hydrocarbon group having a substituent, a complex aromatic group having a substituent, a carboxyl group, a hydride, an ester group, a cyano group, a hydroxyl group, a halogen atom and a hydrogen atom. The organic semiconductor material can be dissolved into an organic solvent at low temperature (for example, room temperature) and is suitable for use with a coating process.
