Japanese research team has created a green, organic thin-film solar cell, a breakthrough that could broaden the range of applications involving solar energy, including use in design-dependent products.

The team, formed by trading house Mitsubishi Corp., Tokki Corp., a leading manufacturer of organic electro-luminescent devices, and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, hopes to produce the ultra-thin solar cell for commercial use by the end of this fiscal year, officials said.
