In 1993, Dr. J. William Doane teamed up with venture capitalist William Manning to found Kent Displays, Inc. (KDI). Their goal was to develop cholesteric display technology into commercial applications. Dr. Doane spent time as the Director of the Liquid Crystal Institute of Kent State University, researching and developing liquid crystal science and technology. Over the years, that technology has developed into a full line of consumer products that can be used in many different ways: from classrooms and education to healthcare communication to home and office applications.
In addition to a complete and ever-evolving line of products, KDI has continued to develop the technology and manufacturing required for each product, including flexible liquid crystal films, roll-to-roll manufacturing, and highly specialized materials and processes. Currently, KDI runs three roll-to-roll lines and continues to develop more manufacturing processes.
