New Ohio Research Park Features FlexMatters Accelerator – Kent Displays, Inc. inaugural partner.
As
the anchor tenant of the Kent State Centennial Research Park
the FlexMatters Accelerator will work with local Ohio companies
to develop and produce devices that are typically
rigid on flexible polymer substrates. This collaboration will lead to production of
liquid crystal-based flexible displays, eyewear, electronics and other devices.
The initial phase of this project is funded by a portion of the
Ohio Third Frontier Research Commercialization Project for the
Flexible Liquid Crystal Film Manufacturing Alliance. Led by Kent
Displays, the alliance joins AlphaMicron, Akron Polymer Systems and
Sheldahl with Kent State and the University of Akron to develop and
produce flexible liquid crystal displays and eyewear. For further
