Graphic arts technology has made a remarkable development. Bringing in a new technology, Tokyo Polytechnic University took over the education of graphic arts technology from Tokyo College of Photography, the predecessor of the university. The department of printing at the college provided lots of special subjects, such as applied chemistry and applied physics. However the situation has greatly changed. The current department established by reorganization of the faculty of engineering, the department of image and media, presents various special subjects relating to computer graphics, 3D image display, virtual reality, information technology, etc. Digitalization in Graphic arts would need human resource that acquired specialized skills like the above technology.

In the recent printing industry, the advanced digital technologies such as CTP, CMC and DDCP have spread remarkably and played a very important role. On the other hand, there still remain analog mechanical-behavior and variable factors which effect printing property in offset printing. It is essential to establish control methods about them and to transfer proficient skill to next generation for the future progress of offset printing. This essay shows the issue referring to current status of printing industry.

The International Graphic Arts & Printing University started a course as a virtual university in June, 2000. There is no canvas, and 25 guest professors reside in Japanese various places. Each professor takes charge of a special each subject in the Graphic Arts & Printing Media Technology Field, and is educating by Internet the technology and the management technique of a new field for the employee chiefly engaged in the Printing Media Industry. The world is connected by the Internet, information is run about the earth instantaneously, and the tempo of the technical improvement is fast, and the education of the printing media prompts the development of the culture, and becomes basic of the Graphic Arts & Printing Media Industry. The global environment should research environmental correspondence from the printing media field while clarifying limited of the future for the human race living. The International Graphic Arts & Printing University makes an effort for that to contribute to the progress of science and the culture, and to contribute to the Print Media Industrial World.

Our time is an era of changing. The framework of the international community has been changing and so as the business and social environment. Inevitably, the print media industry should adjust itself to this rapidly changing world. Therefore, the industry's demands for human resources in the new era should be modified as well. It is also important to point out that concepts of education and a system for cultivating human resources need to be reformed to cope with the demands of era. This article discusses the roots of print media industry and its direction for further progress and the requirements for human resources to response to the new era, and then, suggests JPA (Japan Printing Academy)'s system for the human resource cultivation. The important viewpoints are the followings. The print media industry should transform its business model from a processing industry for printed material and information to a business for tending and supporting human communication. In this business model, there would be a demand for the human resource to be synthetically empowered. Therefore, when cultivating human resources, it has been getting more important not only to transfer technical knowledge and technique like hardware and software as it was used to be, but also to develop overall human power which is, for example, Thought-wear.

In this study, we have attempted to develop and study a dispersed-type inorganic high-luminance electroluminescent (EL)panel by controlling the film thicknesses of its phosphor and dielectric layers. We obtained a panel with a high luminance of 7940cd⁄m² at 6kHz. In addition, we believed that the panel temperature and luminance of this panel were closely related. Therefore, we considered the relationship between the temperature change in the dielectric layer and the luminance since this relationship is responsible for the supply of electric charge to the phosphor layer. A change in the amount of electric charge by heating in a high-voltage domain originates at the Curie point of BaTiO₃ ferroelectric particles. This indicates that the influence of BaTiO₃ was strong. Moreover, the current that flows through the panel in the high-voltage domain is considered to originate from the increase in the impedance.
