Or was it just purely, "This is where we have space"?DOANE: Chemistry and physics being two independent units didn't bother me at all. It seems like a lot of the Nobel laureates are really young fellows or at least made their discoveries at a young age. But with the rise of online shopping and shifting consumer . I think one of the best ways a university capitalizes on patents is through PR. And to give the University some visibility, and give the faculty visibility so they could get grants and stuff. We will schedule showings by appointment only until the tenant has moved. I don't know who all sued who, but there was a preliminary hearing in Cleveland, and a number of attorneys from different places showed up to this thing. But Hoffmann-La Roche patented the twist cell display in Europe. They sued Kent State University. He retired from Kent State University and the LCI in 1996. We were just trying to understand what the liquid crystal phases looked like on a molecular level.] It's actually a nice piece because he put his phone number in there and said, "Anyone who has questions, give me a call." But after a while, the Army saw, and we did, too, that manufacturing these in high volume was not going to be an easy task. As with other faculty in physics and chemistry,] it helped me build up a very nice laboratory with a lot of students involved. He just didn't adapt to the situation that was developing. I'm delighted you're doing it.CRAWFORD: Well, I want to just thank you again for being so generous with your time and sharing your story. 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. Edward Gelerinter was working on electron-spin resonance. But we could see what the challenges were in doing that sort of thing, and it was kind of fun to do that. The Knesset really liked these signs because they fit well with the religious beliefs because they didn't require any power to retain an image on the screen. Copyright law (Title 17, USC). At that particular time, I was very fortunate because that was a time when universities all around the country were hiring scientists to build their programs because there was lots of money available through the National Science Foundation and various places for research, and universities were taking advantage of that. Why did you decide to pursue a patent on these things?DOANE: I could see that they had value. I think John West could tell you more about that. 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 did that, and the experiment was a failure because the liquid crystal mixed with the epoxy. But my wife was very good at handling things by herself. But it would've been nice [to have kept Fegasons industrial pursuit linked in a friendly way with the academic pursuit of the institute such that his industry could have survived. The benefit is that they can say, "Look what we're doing for the local economy." CRAWFORD: When you told us about the discovery of polymer-dispersed liquid crystals, it sounded like it sort of happened by accident, because you had this researcher from Italy who had put the epoxy in and left it, and the next day, its whoa, this happened. The name of the company who manufactures this now and markets it is Ebulent [and its CEO is Xiao-Yang Huang]. As a graduate student, when I got into nuclear magnetic resonance, I had a research assistantship while I was working on my PhD, and that was funded with a grant. It wasn't just because of this that it wound up in Japan, Kent was only a small part of the problem. I wanted Kent to benefit from this. Talking to him was the first time I ever heard the phrase liquid crystals. And just after I got here, he had already invited Jim up for an interview. It really helps to have a relevancy to your research work rather than just being something of interest.] Brokerage Services Provided by U.S. Condo Exchange, LLC & U.S. Condo Exchange, Inc. Another contribution was creating new products. I'm an Associate Professor and Historian of Science in the Department of History at Kent State University. It's very different today than back then.CRAWFORD: When the company first started, it didn't have a manufacturing line. If you're going to have a graduate program, you have to have faculty who can bring in money, at least in sciences. Xerox was studying its electro-optical properties. That may have caught their attention. They further provided substantial funding to Kent State for PDLC research. Use in publications or productions is prohibited without written permission from Kent State University. We were able to get substantial DARPA support for things. This not only includes your local university, but other universities and small colleges. I may be wrong, but I don't recall seeing anyone from RCA interacting very well with the academic world. They were not necessarily licensees but we either had research interactions with them or they just wanted to be involved to keep abreast of the field.] There's some discussion of applications, especially in the early years, the late 60s, focused on understanding perhaps the role of liquid crystals in living systems. You had talked about how part of moving into that space between physics and chemistry was to encourage interactions and stuff.DOANE: It was golden. I didn't think I wanted to stay in the Army. That was very attractive to them, too. ARPA wound up splitting it and making this center NCIPT.CRAWFORD: And that was because you'd all put in proposals related to optical [inaudible]?DOANE: Related to [optics], yes. Also around that timearound '67, a lot of things happened. Before, I was just working as a physics faculty member. I said, "This is great, we've made it to the site visit." It was difficult, but I finally got it through. Of all the discoveries I've made, that was probably the one that made the biggest splash. And the city of Kent got nothing from it. [One theme we've discussed is the relationship between academia and industry. It was all just basic research funded by the THEMIS project.] It benefits in many ways, beyond licensing income. I was awarded it at Goodyear As an aside, I comment that following the award it turned out that Goodyear became interested in the technology because they thought it might look good on a blimp. Anyway, that's how I got into nuclear magnetic resonance.CRAWFORD: Did you have a sense of the state of the field? You have to be able to see how you fit in and how you can contribute. ]CRAWFORD: And that's important because that's a ubiquitous technology. Asad worked very closely with me on all of these things, and eventually he took over as principal investigator on all government contacts ultimately becoming CTO as I got closer to retirement. I could have a display film that was flexible, the liquid crystal wouldn't flow out of it, it was trapped inside of it. John West was very helpful on all of that stuff. John West had come aboard by then and was involved, too, because John was getting very involved in the development of these dispersions. I don't know whether I'm responsible for this, but I think the center got Steve Forrest at USC focused on using light-emitting diodes for displays. It was wonderful. That was a major distraction for the company. Tenant will be out by mid May. Then, I saw that maybe this was an opportunity for a university to get involved in display research. Back then, backlights were not very well-developed, and they took a lot of power. Doane became Assistant Director of the LCI (1979-1983) under Glenn Brown and served as the Director from 1983-1996. I didn't necessarily look at it as a way just to help my own research, although I could see that it would help to have other people around doing this. They're up in a little town, Kent, Ohio." Universities transfer their research results to industry where products are developed and manufactured. There were other researchers at Kent working on liquid crystals. 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. ]CRAWFORD: When you say licensing's not good business, you mean financially?DOANE: Personally, I didn't think it was a great business, [financially, for Kent State University but they did make some money at it. 1 hour from Topeka. [I have no idea how much endowment MIT and Stanford get from the local economy, but they both have huge, profitable high tech industries with many faithful alums.] More important, there was no centralized funding. It was manufacturable, you could coat it and do various things you could not do with liquid crystals alone. But I had no problems with Jim, other than the fact that he just didn't meld well with the academic environment he was working in. I retired in '96.CRAWFORD: KDI is Kent Displays, Incorporated.DOANE: Yes. My experience with this is that universities typically don't want to get too involved in licensing and business relationships. 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. [Laugh] There are all sorts of enticements. 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. The College of Wooster is down the road, and we've had a lot of students from there. The relationship and collaboration between industry and Kent State University during Doanes directorship was important to the growth of the LCI. I was supportive of the applications. At that time, I know MIT looked at it that way, so I tried to focus Kent State in that direction, too. I went around looking for investors, since I had no money on my own to do it. 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. DOANE: You can find venture capitalists, but finding one that fits with you can be an issue. It turned out you could do that very well with magnetic resonance. I think the people doing display work just wanted to make displays whatever way they could but liquid crystal displays seemed to be winning out. The Town Center at Cobb shopping mall in Kennesaw will stay closed for at least 11 days, its parent company announced. There were few trees in Western Nebraska. That was what got us into flexible plastic substrates. The University was putting money into it that had been arranged earlier, and it looked like it wasn't going anywhere as it set by itself apart from the research campus.CRAWFORD: Did you want to take over as director? They were on glass substrates as opposed to plastic. He was a couple years ahead of me in school, and he said after he'd graduated, he went to work for Westinghouse. For example, there was Bell Labs doing a lot of feasibility work of combining basic research with applied and developing such things as the transistor. CRAWFORD: What do you think this kind of valuing of certain types of research over the others? Further electrical engineers at Akron or Case did not have that expertise or interest. That deal ended up falling through. A lot of their sales, I think, are foreign. An agreement can be kind of complicated [and confidential].CRAWFORD: But it sounds like part of it is a sharing of ideas.DOANE: It's a sharing of ideas, yes. Charming home in a well kept quiet community. First, I wanted to start spin-off companies. [Laugh] [You can also find yourself in expensive court battles trying to defend it. [As I mentioned earlier, group funding had ended and liquid crystal research on campus was beginning to fall apart.] And other people in the Institute, in the physics and chemistry departments, then began to do other things with displays, things like retardation layers, alignment films, and various kinds of things it takes to make a display. Les Avenires Veyrins-Thuellin Localisation : Country France, Region Auvergne-Rhne-Alpes, Department Isre.Available Information : Postal address, Phone number, Fax number, Website, Email address, Mayor, Geographical coordinates, Population, Altitude, Area, Weather and Hotel.Nearby cities and villages : Corbelin, Granieu and Brgnier-Cordon. I wanted to create KDI to set an example so others would do it, and it worked. The acronym for it was NCIPT, the National Center for Integrated Photonic Technology, funded by DARPA. CRAWFORD: But students still get their PhD in chemical physics?DOANE: As I understand it, they do [but it may now be broadened to material sciences. [Because NSF funded each principal investigator separately, it had the effect of decentralizing the liquid crystal research effort on campus. We didn't think we could ever make a raser. CRAWFORD: You mentioned this friend of yours at MIT, and you've mentioned Stanford, which his very famous for its relationship with Silicon Valley. It was a different approach for a university to deal with. That's another big story. Today's date is Monday, August 16th, 2021. Our property was not on a highway, but he managed to purchase a few acres on a highway and built this filling station, again, out of sod. He has been key to the companys success and is with the company today.CRAWFORD: And that was in 1993?DOANE: Yeah. In the case of liquid crystals, he was sort of correct in the sense that liquid crystals were a material nobody understood, and that basic research had to be done on it. They focused on one type of liquid crystal display, LCD, referred to as a twist cell. DOANE: I think that may be one of my best contributions, actually.CRAWFORD: Could that be seen as pioneering? I was really excited about that. [Laugh] I've heard other scientists comment on this, that it seems like the younger you are, the more bold you are in trying new things. If I apply a voltage pulse, it does this and if I change the voltage of the pulse it does that." I think it was the University of Utah, or some school in Utah, had political influence in Congress and was able to get awarded what's called pork-barrel money. I was determined to do that, and at first, I tried to do it at a lower cost [to better attract investment]. CRAWFORD: If I understood you correctly, a spin-off company doesn't necessarily mean more financial benefit for a university than licensing does. But anyway, Jim ran into materials issues. That event, right there, guided my life. Its been over 25 years since I retired from the university and a lot has happened since then.] A BHHS Georgia Properties agent will be in touch with you to schedule a showing or provide you with building information. WILLIAM DOANE: Well, thank you for inviting me.CRAWFORD: My pleasure. That's perfect. And that really helped me because then, I had a unique display technology that we could propose to them to develop. By accepting all cookies, you agree to our use of cookies to deliver and maintain our services and site, improve the quality of Reddit, personalize Reddit content and advertising, and measure the effectiveness of advertising. This of course did not happen. Was this expertise something you learned as a graduate student?DOANE: Yeah, I'd say maybe as a graduate student. The display world was just sort of developing industrially apart from the academic world somehow.CRAWFORD: Could it be because the academic world was more focused on basic research?DOANE: I think so. It can be green, red, whatever you want it to be. 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. Saupe would've been the type of witness that worked against you.CRAWFORD: Right, hostile.DOANE: Right, a hostile witness. Incidentally, we've already started a company, we already know how to make windows. And then you can only see a nice image indoors. One, he filled with Jim Fergason. Here, there was the idea that you might be able to do this with just radio waves. 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 It was not a simple problem because back then transistors were laid down in little chips. Fergason got some money out of it, and Hoffmann-La Roche got the license. [Laugh]CRAWFORD: Is there anything else you want to say with regard to Kent Displays?DOANE: I don't think so. I like theory, but I like to get my hands dirty. As I understand it, Timex got a royalty-free license to use the technology.CRAWFORD: This has so many elements of the challenges of patenting in the university context, which is difficult. CRAWFORD: I want to circle back to the late 80s. When we discovered how to do that we realized we could make a nice electronically addressed display out of it. 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. It takes a lot of money to start a company, particularly in a new technology. They tried to invalidate our patent, claiming our patent was invalid. It has easy access to city transportation and the BOB bus route. Then, when it came time to graduate, I had to start looking at places to go and things to do. It really gives us a lot of insight.DOANE: It's kind of fun to go back and think through these things. And there was a market for writing tablets in China. But primarily USC and Kent State carried the ball in this program.. We met a lot and really worked closely together. I visited many potential investors, the contacts that I set up were on my own.] In order to apply for one of these things, you were encouraged to show how you could create technology and get it into the US economy. The government doesn't give you money for protecting it.

He had moved on by then and wanted to develop and ultimately sell liquid crystal displays for watches. It needed a champion to get industry deeply involved. As an academic institution, our prime responsibility is to pursue fundamental research. My father was a farmer, however my mother was from the East and very well-educated. There was another candidate for one of Glenns positions, Professor Alfred Saupe who was on the faculty at Freiburg University in Germany. It was the first patent I ever wrote. Wil Franklin was working on viscosity and related things. Somehow, I just thought it was important for our program to do that. Before, it was called Kent Display Systems. Something they could say, "We're known for this." I was delighted that we could do something with industry. CRAWFORD: What was the reaction to that?DOANE: They picked up on it, but they didn't always do it as well as I would have liked. In the early 70s, when Schadt and Helfrich were working at Hoffmann-La Roche, what kind of display were they thinking of making? The anchor stores are huge. With her in such a facility, for example, a physicist, chemist or some other scientist could walk down the hall and say, "Mary, I need to have this or that material" and she would synthesize it, an extremely valuable asset for liquid crystal research. I think one of the biggest contributions ALCOM made was its students. The State of Ohio money helped it with manufacturing. Updated fixtures and lighting in bathrooms. The reason I thought this important was that back in the late 80s, I was on a panel to go to Japan that was funded by DARPA, and NSF, to learn what the Japanese were doing and how they got to where they were. One texture reflects a beautiful colored light. I thought it was good for Kent State, too. Right now, I can watch my computer recording our conversation. Were there other types of interactions, people moving back and forth?DOANE: Oh, yes. After ALCOM, the new building was needed as the program had grown substantially. I think that was primarily the attractiveness of it. Also, the US. I know you established the company in 1993, and you talked a little bit about how you came in contact with Bill Manning and started working with him. I was finally able to get the University, at least the physics department, to come up with a professorial title for him. As far as the material he was talking about, he was perhaps right. That had some issues, too. That was even before the shootings. 1 of 8. I'm interested in what he says about the role of the institute. to provide you with an unparalleled condo buying and selling experience. Nobody knew who he was because he was never there. Akron has a very strong polymer program, which is helpful to us, too. After I retired from Kent State, I would've done it if I'd had to, but I thought we could do better with somebody from outside. [Laugh] DOANE: [Laugh] Well, this was typical Glenn, it turns out. They'd come here, we'd go there, we'd meet in various places, help one another with various projects. We discovered we could make a unique reflective display. They didn't want to do it. And there were other experiments he had in mind where I thought it would be a really fun field to be in. "]DOANE: That may have been how it was then. I thought it was sort of like a double resonance. Right after we recapitalized, the company was kind of an R&D company for a while because we were developing full-color, high-resolution displays on flexible plastic substrates. Again, we lived out in the country, and I went to a small town for high school. Everybody seemed happy with that, so we did it. CRAWFORD: I was going to ask if that new building made it harder to encourage interactions.DOANE: [No, in fact the opposite since by the time of ALCOM there are now other departments involved such as Mathematics, Biology, and, now more recently Engineering. I don't know what I would've done without him. Close to schools (KSU), shopping, mall (Town Center at Cobb), & interstates. That focused the company right there. This would make a black-and-white display, but it required a lot of power. We became so well-known in Japan and Asia, you could go over to Asia and they knew about Kent State but learned about Cleveland only because they had to fly into it to get here. What often cannot be not useful is valuing one specific area of research over another. It's a much broader area of physics. She'd recall these numbers easily as she was a superb manager.CRAWFORD: What did this mean in terms of the research agenda, either for your group or the Institute as a whole? Nearby cities and villages : Corbelin, Granieu and Brgnier-Cordon. I need a softball player." [In general, such a facility could inspire more interactions between researchers in physics and chemistry. Was that part of the thinking? DOANE: Yes, it is great for that. They have to have an incentive, or they're not going to spend the time on it. There are alignment layers, retardation films, liquid crystal materials where significant contributions are made. [I mention this as later these two parallel developments came in conflict].CRAWFORD: Do you recall the student's name?DOANE: No, but I could dig it up. Right away, I could tell this was really something different because with the NMR, you could see both features very well [by how the molecules were ordered]. He earned his PhD from the University of Missouri in 1965. Another thing I discovered at this meeting was that I was the only person there from a university. [End Part 3]. [Laugh] You better learn how to write grants. He looked like a real good guy to work with. I thought I wanted to go into electrical engineering.CRAWFORD: Was it the problem-solving, working with your hands that attracted you to engineering?DOANE: I think so. As a good rule of thumb, ideally you would have at least three times your monthly rent in combined household income. Was that something you sought out?DOANE: At that time, I was looking at other things, actually. CRAWFORD: But it also sounds like it was in line with your interests.DOANE: Oh, yes, it was very much in line with my interests. But I had no issues with him. It was really a challenge. Patents aren't as convenient of a thing as you'd like to think they might be. Win over prospective landlords with your smart budgeting. I was taking this physics course, and one day, while in the physics laboratory I wanted to take a break from what I was doing. It is in a very convenient location, about 2 miles to KSU, 2 miles to I-75, less than 1 mile to downtown kennesaw and 4 miles to town center mall. It has a writing texture similar to paper. It was an opportunity for the US, and it did not happen. Are there other benefits to the interactions between universities and spinoff companies? DOANE: Yes. It was kind of a pain in the neck for them. [Laugh] I worked with him as an undergraduate, building his electronics, and I became very familiar with the kind of stuff he was doing. Little Tokyo. I was very lucky to have such a guy in this little town. DARPA was funding research in the company very well. For Sale 2937 Governors Court, Marietta, GA 30066. [Laugh] He can find out that it's either great or not a great approach to a technology. UPDATE 10/2/17 @ 9:46 p.m. Joel Domino, was the company's first employee. There are a lot of components to a display. One, you can have meetings, exchange ideas and give lectures back and forth. They should've had a lot more. I think once the University got into it, they thought it was a nice way to go, too. You can do lots of things with that [experimental technique]. 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. It was a nice program. I have learned a lot about this business of academic and industrial interactions. Before that, it was sort of informal. Generally universities want to publish their research results. The University of Akron was quite agreeable. But I think one of the main reasons was that I wanted to leave the Institute in good shape for the new director. You don't have to wad it up and throw it away. I never wanted to run the company because I didn't think I had the right expertise. He was just getting into it.CRAWFORD: At this meeting, was he just mentioning this as [inaudible]DOANE: I don't recall all the details of that meeting but I am sure he must have because that's where it hit me that this seemed to be a neat field. "DOANE: Jim Fergason was not involved in THEMIS research. Because one radio frequency would interfere with the other. Location! I followed through with the interview but I just liked it at Kent. I had a quote from Glenn Brown I wanted to read for you. [Laugh] We wound up with a clear liquid mess on the laboratory bench. 8 hours from Denver, CO. 8 hours from Dallas, TX. The Mill at Chastain is located at 3350 George Busbee Pkwy NW, Trulia is a registered Trademark of Zillow, Inc. Zillow, Inc. holds real estate brokerage, Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information, Zillow Group is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for individuals with disabilities. It was the first money I got where I could build a clean room and do the things I needed to do. Even today, we make use of universities, which is very helpful in this regard. I thought, "I'm going to see if I can get the administration to let me use this program in the Institute." I think she guided me a lot in this direction. CRAWFORD: Would you say that's true for yourself, that you've learned better when you can see the uses?DOANE: Oh, yeah. 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. Nobody had done this before. Located at Interstate 225 at Alameda Avenue, the Town Center at . It required a liquid crystal, in scientific jargon, with a positive dielectric anisotropy. you lucky dog. Thinking about the generation of young people becoming scientists today, could you talk about what's involved in being a scientist? I began to see the need for the company to be able to develop and manufacture displays for other uses instead of just for signs. Basically, Glenn and I did the best we could to put this together. Privacy Policy. Then, within a year, my wife got pregnant, and we had another child. When he submitted his patent and formed his company, Hoffmann-La Roche was beginning to see the value in all of this and had the European patent for it.
