Kent Displays Features Reflex™ No Power LCDs at SID Display Week 2009
2009 JUN 16 - (NewsRx.com) -- Kent Displays announced it will feature its Reflex No Power LCDs at the upcoming SID Display Week in San Antonio, Texas (booth #265). Kent Displays is a sponsor of the event, which will be held May 31-June 5 (exhibit floor June 2-4). All Reflex LCDs retain an image without power and offer superior optical characteristics including sunlight-readability and wide viewing angles. These features, coupled with the flexibility, durability and exceptional thinness of plastic substrates provide a more versatile, sustainable medium than traditional paper and backlit LCDs, opening the door to a myriad of new display applications from electronic paper to electronic skins — and beyond! To manufacture plastic LCDs, Kent Displays recently installed and commissioned a new roll-to-roll production line at its headquarters in Kent, Ohio. A first of its kind in the LCD industry, the line is now in pilot production and fulfilling initial customer orders for LCD Writing Tablets. The roll-to-roll line will also produce LCDs for electronic skins, smartcards and other applications requiring flexibility, durability, and/or exceptional thinness. Following a recent award of $4.9 million from the Ohio Third Frontier Commission, Kent Displays will focus aggressively on developing the next generation of Reflex LCD electronic skins — ultra thin, plastic displays that can be cut to a custom shape and conformed to the surface of a cell phone case or other personal electronic device. The company’s first-generation electronic skins display eight different colors, changeable at the touch of a button to match a user’s mood, clothing or preference. The user can also select a menu option to change the skin color based on device status (e.g., new voice mail). These capabilities bring a new level of personalization and differentiation to a wide range of consumer products.
