KaleidoFlex Technologies Inc. (KTI) is a Vancouver based company that develops proprietary color enabling solutions for the rapidly growing market of Electronic Paper (E-Paper) displays such as those used in the Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader and similar devices.

E-Paper displays are a growing market that reached sales of 3M units ($749M) in 2009 and is expected to exceed 18M units ($3.78B) by 2012 (Source – ‘DisplaySearch’). The displays will eventually replace printed paper in a variety of applications, including newspapers and magazines.

The market is now transitioning to plastic which offers robustness and light-weight, as well as color which is essential for applications beyond e-books.

KaleidoFlex is developing the only proven solution for adding color to plastic E-Paper displays and is poised to become an enabler in this fast-growing market.

The KaleidoFlex solution is based on commercially proven Kodak equipment and consumable technology. It incorporates a precision laser platform, machine automation, image inspection and analysis that are combined into a sophisticated proprietary solution that will be used by E-Paper display manufacturers as part of the display production line.
