KENT, Ohio, Feb. 6, 2008
/PRNewswire/ -- Kent Displays, Inc., today launched Reflex(TM),
a new brand to its long proven cholesteric liquid crystal
displays (ChLCD). Successfully used in a variety of display
applications for 15 years, this new direction signals the
company's vision to bring its Reflex(TM) displays to broader
commercial and advanced display applications.
"For 15 years our technology has helped manufacturers and our
teaming partners be in the forefront of market trends," said
Dr. Albert Green, the company's chief executive officer.
"Today, we are challenging ourselves to develop applications
that can change the way display technology is used. Launching
Reflex(TM) displays as our new brand simply confirms that we
have the capability and the creativity to contribute more
innovation to the display industry."
The new brand name is derived from the fact that all Reflex(TM)
displays are reflective and inherently flexible in nature.
They are ideal for portable devices that demand long battery
life, a wide viewing angle, and paper-like viewing in all
ambient lighting conditions including bright sunlight. These
displays can operate on virtually no power, and can be as thin
as 30 microns.
Kent Displays is currently developing a variety of flexible
display products for portable devices that demand paper-like
viewing, displays on curved surfaces, long battery life,
sunlight readability and wide viewing angles. The company also
offers a line of customizable electronic skins (eSkins) for
mobile computing devices, and electronic writing tablets (eTablets)
for many markets. Standard and custom products are currently
being planned and under development.
In 2008, Kent Displays also will be installing the world's
first roll-to- roll production line for the manufacture of
flexible LCDs. Currently, all displays in the market are cut
from large sheets, and processed separately. This innovative
roll-to-roll production line will enable Kent Displays to
efficiently and rapidly produce large quantities of LCDs.
"When we complete the installation of our roll-to-roll
production line, it will have come full circle for us," said
Dr. Green. "We are pioneers in this industry, and it is
incredibly exciting to see the future come to fruition here in
our facility. Our customers will benefit greatly from this,
and we are looking forward to entering new markets with the
ability to produce displays in much larger quantities."
