Kodak announcement to sell UNXL sensors

Eastman Kodak Co. and a Rush company are jointly getting into the touch screen sensor business.
Kodak on Thursday announced plans to open a manufacturing facility in Eastman Business Park’s Building 318 later this year to turn out touch screen sensors. Kingsbury Corp. — a maker of industrial equipment and a subsidiary of Rush optics company Optimation — will work with Kodak on marketing and selling the sensors. It also will work with its own customers on using that same technology to produce sensors themselves. The Kingsbury deal follows on Kodak earlier this year signing an arrangement with Uni-Pixel Inc. that has the two of them jointly putting $24 million into a touchscreen sensor manufacturing line at Kodak's massive Building 326
