OEM Experience

KDI has experience developing and manufacturing switchable films for OEMs in the automotive and aeronautics spaces, from concept to product.

Film Technologies

Kent Displays has developed a suite of switchable film technologies:

  • This includes LC based reverse-mode, normal-mode, and bistable privacy films— engineered to support both ultra-clear transparent states and high-haze privacy states.
  • We also design functional light-control films for tinting, shading, and illumination management.
  • We are also equipped to develop technologies spanning various material families including LCs, LC-polymer composites and electrochromic materials.
  • KDI is experienced with developing robust device architectures to withstand operational conditions that match desired industry standards.

Prototyping and Testing

Our engineering and R&D teams are experienced with comprehensive optical, electrical, and environmental testing to validate reliability and functionality, enabling rapid translation from design to prototype stage. We also have experience with developing new accelerated testing methods to replicate real-world stressors faced by the devices in the field that inform our iterative development process.

Scaling and Manufacturing

Our roll-to-roll and roll-to-part platforms provide the precision required to manufacture high-performance switchable films at scale. Critical performance parameters — including switching uniformity, layer thickness control, material stability, and contamination management—are maintained through structured process controls. In-line and bench-top metrology systems deliver rapid data capture, ensuring consistent
optical behavior from early development through volume production.
