More companies join display consortium

17 Jun 2002

The US Display Consortium, the public/private partnership charged with developing flat-panel display (FPD) infrastructure, has acquired two new members, E Ink and Displaytech.

USDC president Michael Ciesinski said: "E Ink and Displaytech are commercializing revolutionary technology for flat-panel displays, and are excellent examples of the potential for unique innovation in the display industry. As the industry expands and continues to push the envelope on FPD applications, USDC will help to meet manufacturing infrastructure requirements and support members in their market promotion."

E Ink has developed flexible paper-like electronic displays in conjunction with Lucent Technologies. Displaytech, with the recent opening of its second manufacturing plant in Miyota, Japan, is now the world's only dual-sourced microdisplay manufacturing company.
