Auto parts maker licenses Kodak technology
Eastman Kodak has licensed its next-generation display technology to Japan's No. 1 auto parts maker. Denso is the first auto parts maker to license Kodak's organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology. Kodak will receive a royalty from Denso for each device the company sells using OLED technology. In Denso's last fiscal year, the company had worldwide net sales of $16 billion. Denso will use the OLED technology in passive-matrix displays for automobiles, integrating the displays into dashboards, for example. The agreement also allows Denso to purchase Kodak's patented OLED materials. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. --Richard Shim, Special to ZDNet News
