E Ink Corporation
E Ink Corporation is a privately held manufacturer of electrophoretic displays (EPDs), a kind of electronic paper. E Ink is located in Billerica, Massachusetts, and was co-founded in 1997 by undergraduates J.D. Albert & Barrett Comiskey, Joseph Jacobson (professor in the MIT Media Lab), Jerome Rubin (LexisNexis co-founder) and Russ Wilcox. Two years later, E Ink partnered with Philips to develop and market the technology. Jacobson and Comiskey are listed as inventors on the original patent filed in 1996. In 2005, Philips sold the electronic paper business as well as its related patents to Prime View International.
E Ink has since partnered with various companies, including Sony, Motorola and Amazon.com, to allow for the development of products like the Sony Reader, MOTOFONE F3, Barnes & Noble nook, and Kindle, Hanlin eReader which utilize E Ink technology.
On June 1, 2009, E Ink Corporation announced an agreement to be purchased by one of its primary business partners, Prime View International (TPO: 8089), a Hsinchu, Taiwan-based manufacturer, for USD $215 million. PVI has since been renamed E Ink Holdings Inc. It is predicted that the purchase by Prime View will speed the development of color E Ink.〔(E-Ink's Sale Clears Path for Color Kindle in 2010 ) from FastCompany.com〕
