I recently had the chance to interview Mr. Corey Hewitt and Dr. James Buntaine from Kodak OLED Systems. Kodak is where OLEDs were first discovered, and they are still in the fore-front of the technology. This is going to be a long article - these guys have given me a lot of background info, even before answering my questions. But first let's introduce Corey and James:
Mr. Corey Hewitt, Operations Manager & Vice President, Kodak OLED Systems
Mr. Hewitt's responsibilities include worldwide operations, finance, marketing and business development. Corey has traveled and worked closely on a worldwide basis with Dr. Buntaine in determining the future strategy for OLED technology and how it relates to Eastman Kodak Company. Corey received his Business Administration/Finance degree from the University at Buffalo and subsequently completed his Masters of Business Administration from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Corey has joined Kodak in 1999, and held several positions before becoming the Operations Manager and VP of Kodak OLED Systems.
Dr. James Buntaine, Chief Technical Officer & Vice President, Kodak OLED Systems
Dr. James R. Buntaine's responsibilities include business and technology development, product delivery, and intellectual property creation. James earned his Ph.D. at Cornell University in Solid State Chemistry (1980), investigating the metal-non-metal transition in a lithium-base system. He joined Eastman Kodak in January, 1980, in the Solid State Chemistry laboratory where he studied the paramagnetic resonance properties of transition metal dopants in silver halide materials. The technologies and product commercialization under his direction included silver halide materials, photographic products, MicroEncapsulation printing system, thermal printing system, laser printing system, pilot and scale-up media operations, and flexible electronic displays. In 2004 he moved to the Display and Components Business Unit as Technology Director.
