Solid state electronics is the most rapidly advancing technology and requires wide spread knowledges in science, technology, and social, economic and polytical sciences to make the R & D investment the most efficient. This necessitates the closest communications and coopera-tion of large numbers of research and development groups in various institutions, private companies, and societies from basic researchers to service engineers as well as from material researchers to systems engineers. Unfortunately, Japanese society is not well organized for the need, resulting in inefficient R & D activities. This paper will discuss these problems, and present how important and urgent to the advancement of Japanese solid state electronics of solving these problems, by presenting few current topics in solid state electronics such as electroluminescence devices, glass semiconductor devices and bulk effect functional devices.
