ColorLink (Boulder, CO) and Arisawa Mfg. Co. (Joetsu-City, Japan) have created a joint-venture company to bring ColorLink's color-manipulation technology to high-volume production. The technology, which is based on combinations of polymer retarders, can be used to improve the output of color projection liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). The new company is to be called ColorLink Japan and will operate from Arisawa's facilities. Arisawa has extensive experience in making polymers, including polarizing films for LCDs. The joint venture provides a credible manufacturing partner for ColorLink and a pathway to rapidly bring new developments to market, according to Gary Sharp, vice president of research and development at ColorLink.
