Mary Jane Hellyar to lead Kodak Display and Components Group

November 22, 2004, Rochester, NY--Eastman Kodak Company has named Mary Jane Hellyar as president of the Display and Components Group. Hellyar is currently General Manager, Film Capture, Digital & Film Imaging Systems and a vice president of the company.

Hellyar replaces Willy Shih, 53, who has resigned to explore a range of potential business opportunities in the public and private sector. It is expected that Shih will officially leave Kodak in January 2005, but will continue beyond that date in a consulting role, working on certain key projects.

Kodak's Display and Components business includes products built on Kodak's organic light-emitting diode technology and other display technologies, and delivers CCD and CMOS image sensors to original equipment manufacturers.

Hellyar joined Kodak in 1982 and has held a variety of research, manufacturing and general management positions in support of the company's professional and consumer imaging business. In 1999, Hellyar was named general manager, Consumer Film Business and was elected a corporate vice president. Her responsibilities were expanded in 2001 as general manager, Capture & Traditional Media and again in 2003 to include professional films as General Manager, Capture, Consumer and Professional Imaging.

Shih joined Kodak from Silicon Graphics Computer Systems in 1997 as COO and vice president of Digital and Applied Imaging, becoming president of that division one month later. In 2003, he was named President of Kodak's Display and Components Group.
