My father, in order to afford to send them to high school and college, started a little filling station that developed into a country store. There can be non-disclosure agreements with an industry in which confidential information is transferred. DOANE: Yes, I think that's [one major benefit]. There were a number of things we could make on it. They sent the two of us to communications school. CRAWFORD: Was it recently established?DOANE: No, it had been going on for some years based around other types of display technologies. The benefit is that they can say, "Look what we're doing for the local economy." I walked down the hall, looking in doors, seeing what this physics department looked like. But I did follow what Asad did for the company during the pandemic, and I thought he did a fine job. Kent State university and its ALCOM center has probably graduated more students in the display industry than any other university in the US. Find all the information of Les Avenires Veyrins-Thuellin or click on the section of your choice in the left menu. We've talked a little bit about how the academic and industrial worlds were in some ways separate universes. There were a couple professors I kept running across in the literature. I got each one to sit down and write up what they could do with their experimental technique to study these liquid crystals. I have lost track of where they're sold now but I think mostly overseas. Were there other types of interactions, people moving back and forth?DOANE: Oh, yes. A university cannot and should not try to compete with industries on problems of interest to industry. But I probably did consider the job opportunities because my wife and I tried to have children, and we were told by a doctor that our chances of conceiving were not very high. Absolutely. We can pick up tomorrow. That was what got us into flexible plastic substrates. My Toy Chest. Kent State university and its ALCOM center has probably graduated more students in the display industry than any other university in the US. Today, I'm interviewing Dr. J. William Doane, Emeritus Professor of Physics, Emeritus Director of the Liquid Crystal Institute at Kent State University, as well as Co-Founder and Senior Advisor at Kent Displays. DOANE: I think it was a variety of things. There's another issue about Fergason I'd like you to be aware of. [audio cuts out] [However, that was just a small part of the overall program as at least half of the faculty in the physics department and many in the chemistry department became heavily involved in liquid crystal research involving theory and numerous different experiment techniques. It actually was at that point that I began to think about seeing if I could get a building on the research campus [to make a closer tie between liquid crystal research on campus and that of the institute].CRAWFORD: Were you hoping to provoke more interaction between Institute researchers and the physics and chemistry departments?DOANE: Yes. Like Peter Palffy and John West, he originally came into the liquid crystal institute under the title senior research fellow, with no professorship as did Adriaan De Vries and several others. In this case, the university licenses the patents generated by faculty and students back to them to start a company. As a good rule of thumb, ideally you would have at least three times your monthly rent in combined household income. We were able to get grants to help us with this. We put the infringing company out of business, and their attorneys faced a little bit of trouble, too. But neither one of them wanted to do that. How do they function on a molecular level?" NOTE TO USERS: Sharp Copy Transcription, an independent transcription service, produced the original version of this transcript from the digital audio files of this oral history interview. But the professors themselves often are the ones [who often want to keep hold of that technology. Town Center Mall Shops is located at 390 Ernest W Barrett Pkwy in the Town View Condos neighborhood, Kennesaw, GA, 30144. As a result the company became focused on writing.CRAWFORD: Before the shift to the Boogie Board, you mentioned that the company was making signs and had some contracts in Israel and whatnot. And that's the proposal we gave them and that is what they funded. Back then, I had a little problem with the State of Ohio. You could pump it at one frequency and look at another frequency at an enhanced signal. It was incredible. He decided to patent it on his own which turned out to be a serious problem for the University.As I recall, there was an attorney up in Cleveland to help him in this effort. Do you think now, almost 20 years on from the establishment of Kent Displays, what's happening in Northeast Ohio is kind of like what's happening in Cambridge or Silicon Valley?DOANE: Using them as examples really paid off in getting us started in that direction. CRAWFORD: This was Project THEMIS?DOANE: Yes. I would say that was how I got into it. If I apply a voltage pulse, it does this and if I change the voltage of the pulse it does that." one day when inevitably you get in a heated discussion with ur old man you got one hell of a card to play. I wanted to tie these things together. At that time, I know MIT looked at it that way, so I tried to focus Kent State in that direction, too. [Laugh] Strung my antennas and so on. Call today 770-334-8916 ask for Tanya. I dont think it is generally realized the importance of liquid crystal materials has played in todays digital world. Just from your experience having worked at Kent Displays, Northeast Ohio of course is different in some ways than Cambridge, Massachusetts, or Northern California in lots of ways. As I pointed out, when I went to the first Society meeting, I didn't see any other universities, it was all industry and they were getting heavily involved with liquid crystal displays. I knew I needed somebody in optics. We had a nice program that went on for years with a group at Hughes Research, [headed by David Margerum], developing displays and various kinds of things. Then, one weekend, this Bill comes to Kent and knocks on my door and says, "I have my son-in-law, Joel Domino, out in the car. [If you apply an electrical pulse to it at a certain voltage level it will go to the color reflective texture. I thought maybe if I did, I'd have to take these candidacy exams over again, and I didn't want to do that. CRAWFORD: By secrets, youre talking about intellectual property?DOANE: [Yeah, primarily intellectual property but also research results. He just didn't adapt to the situation that was developing. There was even some interest in Europe, and here was some licensing there, too. The attitude in industry for commercializing the technology ultimately was just not there. There were some research agreements with them but, no doubt the details were confidential at the time. I was born in the sandhills of Western Nebraska, out in the country in a sod house, built by my father. However, since then, I retired in '96, and around 2010 or so, they moved the faculty in Chemical Physics into the various departments, like physics and chemistry. Also around that timearound '67, a lot of things happened. He started a conversation with me. CRAWFORD: Was this started in 1991?DOANE: I think it was awarded in 1991. On the bad side, it shut down a lot of the interpersonal activity it takes to get things done. Then, there were some other companies, like Brookstone, that really wanted to sell these things. We were surprised to see this result. Town Center at Aurora is a fully enclosed regional shopping destination in Aurora, Colorado, and serves the nearby communities of Aurora, Buckley Air Force Base, The Anschutz Medical Campus, the Lowry neighborhood and residents of southeast Denver. [Laugh] They wanted to fill a position at Kent, and I was looking at other schools, too. CRAWFORD: What was it that allowed you to switch between the two states?DOANE: It has to do with how you switch it. Geographic Information regarding City of Les Avenires Veyrins-Thuellin. I didn't view it as a building necessarily with its own administrative structure, rather as a building to support research. Doane later helped create spin-off companies, such as Kent Displays, Inc. which was established in 1993. Hughes really jumped on that. For example, Glenn Brown had a great relationship with George Gray, of the University of Hull, who invented the liquid crystal materials of the type Jim Fergason needed to make his company a success. I followed through with the interview but I just liked it at Kent. I wanted to create KDI to set an example so others would do it, and it worked. [Laugh] When we had our meetings and discussions, I always wanted to see something, not just a bunch of words and slides. He said, "Let's get the governor here." I wonder if you have any additional observations or insights that you'd like to share. USC applied, I applied, and so did these other universities.] I got invited to chair a physics department at a university in Michigan. Is it the case that they had seen what the Japanese were doing with displays and came to the American scientific community asking them to develop something like that for them? It was the first money I got where I could build a clean room and do the things I needed to do. It was good PR for MIT. I'm an Associate Professor and Historian of Science at Kent State University. At that time, I didn't think too much about job opportunities in cosmic-ray physics, although I should've been. They wanted something you could wear, could see very clearly, and not have to change the battery. CRAWFORD: It sounds like you're saying it's partly a cultural thing.DOANE: Yes. He had worked on cholesteric liquid crystals as a graduate student in Hawaii. But I thought, "Maybe the Institute needed new direction." CRAWFORD: I know you said there were tensions between Fergason and Brown. That may have caught their attention. A lot of their sales, I think, are foreign. And by then, things weren't working out well with Saupe, either. It got us into the display world. There were no doubt other faculty involved that I may have overlooked. They awarded 12, but we weren't awarded one in the first group. When you're running a research institute, like I was at Kent State, and it's funded by grants and contracts, that's about all you have time to do. And we'll have writing tablets coming out where you don't need any power to erase, either. He reconfigured the company. [Laugh] CRAWFORD: Did you see patenting as a way of kind of signaling that the Institute was moving into applied research?DOANE: No, I didn't see it from that point of view. Then, in the late 70s, maybe 1980, I was working with a researcher who was from the University of Calabria in Southern Italy who had visited the Institute on several occasions. In fact, liquid crystals were looked upon that way, I think. After I finished my two years in the Army, I wanted to go back to Missouri because I wanted to work with this professor named Nelson Duller.CRAWFORD: Was that the professor who hired you?DOANE: Yes, that was the professor who hired me. CRAWFORD: So there have been spinoff companies. I think it was my second year Id been here, probably around '67 or so. Shirley went with me. DOANE: Being retired, COVID had far less effect on me than others. Kansas Manhattan Houses $1,400 710 S Manhattan Ave 710 S Manhattan Ave, Manhattan, KS 66502 South Manhattan 2 Beds 1 Bath 1400 Sqft Contact Property Learn more, take a tour, and get one step closer to your new home. They wanted to show that there was economic benefit to all of this. I wanted to get him a position in physics. They or their students often like to establish a company and make use of it themselves. I had no issues with Glenn other than the fact that we disagreed on where the Institute should be located. Licensing, in general, I found not to be a very good business for a university. That focused the company right there. Then, of course, I had undergraduates working in my laboratory as well. Heinke was the attorney involved in this lawsuit. At that point, I went to the University of Akron, where they had a polymer program, and I found a group over there headed by Frank Harris that really wanted to do this.

You mentioned Al Green was the CEO and Asad was the CTO.DOANE: At first, I had no involvement in the company at all because I was directing the LCI. 2292 Bayswater Dr NW, Kennesaw, GA 30144 | Zillow Kennesaw GA For Sale Apply Price Price Range Minimum - Maximum Apply Beds & Baths Bedrooms Bathrooms Apply Home Type Deselect All Houses Townhomes Multi-family Condos/Co-ops Lots/Land Apartments Manufactured More filters But the champion ended up being Japan. There was just nothing. Request More Information. CRAWFORD: What kind of expertise did you have?DOANE: Of course, I was the principal investigator on the government contracts and managed research and development in the company. Another problem at that time, which isn't an issue anymore, was having the right kind of liquid crystal material to use it with. Or are you working with scientists at the LCI?DOANE: Yes, today we use those facilities. Everybody in the US lost on this issue. I was determined to do that, and at first, I tried to do it at a lower cost [to better attract investment]. Institute was still on the research campus but now had a broader scope involving more science departments.] It turns out that writing tablets actually use both PDLCs and cholesteric liquid crystals in which polymers are dispersed in the cholesteric liquid crystal. It was called nuclear spin pumping. There were a variety of different types of liquid crystal displays being developed at that time with many industrial efforts to develop a full color flat-panel screen. This not only includes your local university, but other universities and small colleges. So, that sort of thing? [Laugh] I found out right away that nuclear magnetic resonance was a really good tool to study liquid crystalline materials at the molecular level.CRAWFORD: What was it that made you think to apply it to liquid crystals?DOANE: It's a phase of matter between solids and liquids, and I thought, "I'd like to see what they look like from the point of view of nuclear magnetic resonance." It was a lot of work. Aleks Gilbert. FEATURES OF OUR AURORA, CO MALL. But, eventually, we were able to come up with a plan that convinced them to grant a license and we formed KDI. Charming home in a well kept quiet community. CRAWFORD: Looking back on your career in science, we can see, just from this conversation, that being a scientist involves much more than just working at a lab bench or working with NMR technologies. But there's more to it.DOANE: Doing science is much broader than what's normally perceived. Cutting edge amenities, meticulously-groomed grounds, and a dedicated staff contributes to a higher standard of living. There were a variety of people, and we were all working together, actually. The mall closed to customers Wednesday evening It is scheduled to reopen . DOANE: And he said the response from it was just so good that he decided to pursue the field. Generally universities want to publish their research results. It's just recognition that somebody saw what you were doing. DOANE: They're in airports. I'm not sure what expertise he'd gained at his former employment, but he was a good one to guide a company that had to learn to do almost everything from manufacturing to sales. And we won it, we got it. Dave Uhrich was doing the Mssbauer effect. We haven't talked a lot about your approach to education and training students. Find below the times of sunrise and sunset calculated 7 days to Les Avenires Veyrins-Thuellin. Was this expertise something you learned as a graduate student?DOANE: Yeah, I'd say maybe as a graduate student. Is there a particular reason why they focused on that type of cell at that time?DOANE: I don't know their reasoning, but I can tell you why I'd choose it. Register or Buy Tickets, Price information. Its called that because it can be found in the cholesterol of living systems. Theoretically, you could, but practically, there were lots of problems in doing that. I thought maybe a master's degree would be good. But I always had somebody else running the company. [Laugh] While liquid crystals could get that feature, it had a very short temperature range. I think that's one of the nicest contributions it had. Shortly after that, we had a project with a company outside the beltway in Washington DC that had a defense contract to develop some very secret thing. At the time of the discovery I just thought it was just a different way to make confined droplets of liquid crystals. Anyway, that's how I got into nuclear magnetic resonance.CRAWFORD: Did you have a sense of the state of the field? It was really nice. It's very different today than back then.CRAWFORD: When the company first started, it didn't have a manufacturing line. [Laugh] I went to high school in Southwest Missouri. However, from another point of view, it never hurts to have a crisis because it causes people to think other ways. We got the company started, and the company got off to a very quick start. Then, I saw that maybe this was an opportunity for a university to get involved in display research. It is what really gave me encouragement, a few years later, to go to the dean of arts and science to get a building on the research campus. It benefits in many ways, beyond licensing income. It was doing very well then to give a new director time to settle in before ALCOM ended.CRAWFORD: Did you ever consider just stepping down as director and going back to doing research as a faculty member?DOANE: Back then, you could retire, and after you were retired for so many years, you could run the Institute again. And there's this kind of story that until Dr. Brown's review essay in 1957, there wasn't that much going on with it.DOANE: No, there wasn't. Further, patents have a limited lifetime.] The only places I could see it going in the US was to General Motors, 3M, and a small company in Texas. DARPA was funding research in the company very well. They sent displays to put on show. The College of Wooster is down the road, and we've had a lot of students from there. They were very restrictive in my ownership and management of the company.CRAWFORD: Did they explain why?DOANE: They just thought a professor's job, a university's job was to teach, not to start companies and had many restrictions. I'd been there for 13 years, and I thought it was time for new blood to come in. But after two years, passing all these candidacy exams, all this coursework, I talked to Shirley, and we thought maybe it would be the thing to do. But I'd say from Kent State University's point of view, it was the visibility in the science field. Building up a local economy and, ultimately, after a time, providing things like endowments. I just looked at it from the point of view of fundamentally understanding the liquid crystal material states of matter. DOANE: Yeah, and not only funding us but several industries as well. Doane became Assistant Director of the LCI (1979-1983) under Glenn Brown and served as the Director from 1983-1996. It's a very low-powered device.DOANE: The Boogie Board takes no power to write on it. The government support, both federal and state, were very extremely helpful.CRAWFORD: When you started working full-time at Kent Displays, what was your role at the company? He convinced Timex that he could make wristwatch faces with this technology, and they gave him a grant to do that through Kent State University. The Japanese had really gotten it off the ground. At that time, signs were primarily mom-and-pop-type organizations, and furthermore, after a year or two, I saw that the University wasn't licensing this for other uses anywhere or even marketing it. As an academic institution, our prime responsibility is to pursue fundamental research. But that was a distraction for the company. CRAWFORD: We talked yesterday about some of the difficulties around Fergason's patenting ventures, and you had said that throughout the 70s, you were doing primarily basic research and weren't really working on applications. Industry was doing a lot of that kind of research then. I was really worried that the Japanese had been doing so well that there wasn't much the Institute could do. - City . It stands for Advanced Liquid Crystal Optical Materials. I think that's what I learned from it. The Retail building features a total of 24,497 SF. Copyright 2023 eRealEstate Holdings, LLC. I wanted to do just the opposite of what these guys did. [Laugh] I happened to wander by this one room, and I looked in there, and it was just full of electronics. Up until then, I was doing basic research, studying liquid crystals at a molecular level, learning how they ordered themselves, how they fluctuate, how various molecular atomic groups fluctuate, and so on. For example, there was a group (or perhaps groups) taking commercial high resolution flat panel displays apart and reconfiguring them to make them more rugged for aircraft and other applications. We were working together in the lab, and he wanted to make a liquid crystal display. Professor Saupe became more involved [with the departmental faculty at that point too, as did Adriaan De Vries because they got support from THEMIS].Around '74 or so, after about four or five years of the THEMIS grant, the Air Force decided they didn't want to fund basic research anymore and the National Science Foundation, NSF, decided to take it over. We had to develop courses. MLS ID: 10127388. It makes a nice writing surface. But they couldn't do this with Jim Fergason's patent. It was an opportunity for the US, and it did not happen. The company ultimately failed. It really got into the writing experience, as well as advancing it to fit this into digital technology, how to do it in color, things like that. At the time, lasers had just come out. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. His name was Jim Fergason. Bravo aux quipes pour ce nouveau projet. DOANE: Campus is a great place to walk and ride bikes, but I don't like to go there when it is shut down because it's so depressing to me.CRAWFORD: And that's a really good example of what you were saying about how the pandemic has impacted social interactions. The acronym for it was NCIPT, the National Center for Integrated Photonic Technology, funded by DARPA. You can't have any dust particles around. [Laugh]CRAWFORD: Why do you think that is?DOANE: It just happens. But that didn't work out. When I lectured, even in elementary physics, I paid a lot of attention to demonstrations, rather than standing up at the blackboard. Well, it did in the sense that it influenced what I was doing and had an effect on it through this property of spin-lattice relaxation in the surrounding crystalline lattice. I don't know what I would've done without him. That was a very nice program. It was an industry-run program. It can be green, red, whatever you want it to be. We had nice sales in Israel. ]You had to really make a little circuit at each pixel site to really make these things switch well. CRAWFORD: What do you think this kind of valuing of certain types of research over the others? I wanted Kent to benefit from this. Over in chemistry, there was Vernon Neff, who was doing infrared dichroic studies, [Bill Bacon on liquid crystal phases. I could do what I wanted to do. CRAWFORD: Well, thank you very much for saying that. Did you and Fergason remain friends?DOANE: Yes, I didn't have any problem with Jim. Applications did not come until people started working with them. CRAWFORD: They've basically shut campus down. I don't know how Fergason envisioned the Institute, but I do know that it wasn't like Glenn envisioned it. MATTHEW CRAWFORD: My name is Matthew Crawford. As it turns out, there are a number different ways you can make a display with a liquid crystal. CRAWFORD: Just thinking about this historical moment, and you mentioned the shootings, which of course happened May 4, 1970, part of this whole moment with the protest against the Vietnam War. I saw an opportunity [to develop high-definition flat panel displays for the defense agencies]. To do science, you have to fund it. Today he is CEO taking the company into new exciting directions with new products. They really liked to use their technology for PR, to say they'd developed it, started these new companies, and were getting into the economy. What impact did that have on the LCI?DOANE: First of all, we got a new building out of it. I just told the dean I didn't know what I could do. And then you can only see a nice image indoors. Brokerage Services Provided by U.S. Condo Exchange, LLC & U.S. Condo Exchange, Inc. I knew he was going to really quiz me about my research because he would want to know how I was going to fund it and that stuff. Upvote 2 Downvote. However, when I came in '65, they had already advanced that to a solid-state physics program and were in the process of moving it to a standard physics program for all areas of physics. That was a big help to the Institute. One, you can have meetings, exchange ideas and give lectures back and forth. Right away, I could see this might have some value in reflective display technology, so we wrote the patent really quickly, and that patent was followed by other patents related to that technology, all developed under ALCOM. Around the early 80s and throughout the 80s, several of the defense agencies became very concerned about all this because they needed these flat-panel displays for fighter planes, tanks, and stuff like that. I had to hire electrical engineers [or use the electrical expertise we had in-house to create drive electronics for a new technology].CRAWFORD: It sounds like part of the impact of ALCOM, in addition to growing the LCI, was orienting the Institute more towards displays, and it sounds like you were doing a lot more than just liquid crystals.DOANE: Yeah. It came about when a postdoctoral fellow in my laboratory was experimenting on how cholesteric liquid crystals respond to an electrical pulse. It was called that because chemistry got their PhD program first. I didn't know whether I could go or not. I don't know how it is these days, but back in those days, if you were going to have a graduate program, the faculty had to bring in the money to do it. There were other researchers at Kent working on liquid crystals. They could really build some science programs. They didn't want to do it. I really hadn't intended at first to get a PhD. It's a very complex issue. Glenn was opposed to that but he did not stop me from pursuing the issue . and our George helped Glenn very much in forming this first liquid crystal conference. "]DOANE: That may have been how it was then. Chemistry hadn't had its graduate program very long before that. I don't know where I get that from. I told them I would do it if I could have a few positions with the promise that I would bring in some federal support for the program. CRAWFORD: It just seemed like the right thing to do.DOANE: It just seemed like the thing to do! I didn't view it as that at all. At that time, the University attorney to handle this was from the firm Watts, Hoffman, Fisher, and Heinke. DOANE: I'm not sure I can answer that. Again, we lived out in the country, and I went to a small town for high school. In this case the university will make little or no up-front money from the license but it has value otherwise in creating local industry that benefits the university in a variety of ways, creating jobs for students, attracting new students, endowments, PR etc.] Universities run on endowments, too. 0.

It was the start of that. When I graduated, I had to go into the Army because in order to keep from going into the Army while I was in collegethe Korean War was going on, and I didn't want to get pulled out of college to have to go to Korea. We have also worked with scientists and professors, who have been consultants for us. Right away, we were beginning to make signs out of the cholesteric liquid crystal technology. It's just kind of in my nature. CRAWFORD: Were there any demonstrations that stood out or led to anything significant?DOANE: Actually, there were quite a number. Patents aren't as convenient of a thing as you'd like to think they might be. This choice to take some research and move it into patents, take it out of publication, was that a concern at all, that you'd be taking away from your academic achievement?DOANE: It wasn't a concern for me because I really wanted to get into applied research. Thank you! you can use w.e you think the best tick look-a-like would be but i'd bank with something like a couple pieces of activated charcoa My experience with this is that universities typically don't want to get too involved in licensing and business relationships. And I think your work is absolutely essential in exploring how all of this happened and getting the history on it right. Saupe wasn't focused on that at the time although he did later contribute in that area. It was important to me that this company, the first spin-off formed, turn into something. The primary reason I did was Jim McGrath and Tony Silvidi.
