Partnered Companies to Challenge the Limits of Large-Size Color E-paper with the Launch of an Upgraded “27.6-Inch Outdoor Full-Color E-paper Display”

KENT, Ohio, Aug. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Three global leaders in Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Display (ChLCD) technology – U.S.-based Kent Displays, Inc. (KDI), Taiwan-based IRIS Optronics, and U.S.-based Ebulent Technologies Corporation – have entered into a joint venture (JV) designed to accelerate the speed and scale of ChLCD innovation adoption, opening up unlimited possibilities for the future of the E-paper industry.

The JV, comprised of three global leaders in ChLCD tech, will open endless opportunities for the E-paper category.

This three-way JV – which will be headquartered in the U.S. (Ohio) – will allow for seamless collaboration on various strategic objectives, including technology development, resource integration, business development, and intellectual property. The JV will also leverage each party’s strengths, expertise, resources, and commitment to sustainability within the global ChLCD market.

A signing ceremony took place on August 9th at KDI’s headquarters in Kent, Ohio. The ceremony was attended by: KDI CEO Dr. Asad Khan, KDI Co-founder and world- renowned LCD technology researcher, Dr. J. William Doane, Chairman of IRIS Optronics Dr. Albert Liao, and Ebulent CEO and Co-founder Dr. Xiao-Yang Huang.

During the ceremony, the JV announced the successful development of an upgraded version of the “27.6-Inch Outdoor Full-Color E-paper Display.” At the event, Dr. Albert Liao said, “Compared to the previously launched product unveiled at Touch Taiwan 2024 in April, the upgraded version boasts double the contrast ratio and nearly 50% higher color saturation.”

KDI, a pioneer of ChLCD technology, has a longstanding history of developing liquid crystal materials, display drivers, electronic engineering, and various advanced technologies, cementing its unshakable leadership in the industry. Besides its diverse and extensive sales network, KDI’s cholesteric liquid crystal writing tablet consumer brand, Boogie Board®, is the category leader in reusable writing products, having earned global recognition and brand awareness since its launch in 2009.

“IRIS Optronics, KDI, and Ebulent Technologies Corp. have maintained a close technical and cooperative relationship for a long time. This JV is a significant milestone in deepening our collaboration and accelerating our collective global market presence,” said Dr. Liao.

Regarding the newly established JV, Dr. Asad Khan stated, “This is a proud moment for all parties involved as we look to promote new uses and applications for our cholesteric liquid crystal technology.” Khan continued, “I look forward to our collaboration in technology development, intellectual properties, and supply chain integration. With a relationship built on a solid technical foundation, we aim to elevate each other, identify whitespace in the market, and ultimately expand the E-paper ecosystem with low-power-consuming, eco-friendly innovations.”

Commenting on the historic collaboration of the three ChLCD leaders and innovators, Dr. J. William Doane remarked, “This is a superb gathering of intellectual power and technical capabilities to bring full color cholesteric displays to the market for a variety of applications. I am very proud of the hard work this JV has taken by all parties involved and look forward to market introduction soon.”

Intercos Korea Inc. Press Release

Published

on

By

MILAN, Nov. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Intercos Korea Inc. wishes to provide its position regarding certain information circulated in relation to the lawsuit started in 2019 that was initiated against two former employees of Kolmar Korea, subsequently employed by Intercos Korea Inc. .

The investigation that led to these proceedings concerned actions taken by the two former employees independently when they were not yet employed by Intercos Korea Inc.. Intercos Korea Inc. inevitably became part of the proceedings solely because it was the employer at the time the investigation commenced, despite having taken immediate actions to dissociate the company from these employees’ misbehaviour.

As a result of the conviction of the two former employees, the Court of Appeal—having reviewed the case twice—deemed it appropriate to reduce the fine to Intercos Korea to approximately €3.600 (5 million KRW), thus rendering it a purely symbolic sanction.

Intercos Group has always attached great importance to business ethics as proven by the irreproachable reputation it enjoys globally since decades.

Intercos shareholders and management fully trust the current Intercos Korea managers’ exemplary ethics.
