Abstract: An apparatus and methods for the adjustment of the position of a die in a printing press are disclosed. The apparatus and methods provide for the adjustment of a die frame within a chase. The chase defines a horizontal and a vertical axis. The die frame is slidably secured in a chase to permit movement and adjustment of the die frame in the horizontal and the vertical axis. The die frame may be slidably mounted to one or more vertical guides and one or more horizontal guides to facilitate movement and adjustment in the horizontal and vertical axis.

Abstract: Disclosed are an organic semiconductor material including a thiazole compound represented by the following general formula (1) and an organic thin-film transistor using the organic semiconductor material: A1-B1-C1??(1) wherein A1 and C1 each represent an unsubstituted or substituted thiazole ring, and B1 represents an unsubstituted or substituted benzene ring or an unsubstituted or substituted polycondensed aromatic ring. Accordingly, there are provided an organic semiconductor material having high ON current and excellent storage stability and an organic thin-film transistor using the organic semiconductor material.

Abstract: Provided are a compound represented by the following general formula (1): A1-B1-X1-C1-D1 wherein A1 and D1 each represent an unsubstituted or substituted anthracene ring; B1 and C1 each represent an unsubstituted or substituted thiazole ring; and X1 represents a single bond or a divalent group, and an organic thin film transistor using the compound.

Abstract: This organic electroluminescence element has an organic light-emitting layer between a positive electrode and a negative electrode, wherein the organic light-emitting layer contains a 1,3,6,8-tetrasubstituted pyrene compound having a specific structure as an organic light-emitting layer forming material. Provided are an organic light-emitting layer forming material that emits blue light with a high color purity, has a high luminous efficiency, and is stable for a long duration of operation, when used singly or as a guest, an organic EL element having a high luminous efficiency and a long operation lifetime, and a high-performance organic EL display that has a high luminous efficiency and a long operation lifetime.
