CLEARink Displays is a US incorporated venture backed startup, with R&D in US and Canada. CLEARink aims to revolutionize the reflective display industry by developing reflective display modules, based on proprietary technology, that combines the daylight readability of paper with the colorful video performance of digital displays. The company was formed in 2012 by a number of co-founders who have together started over 10 companies, including Vancouver success stories TIR (sold to Philips) and Brightside (sold to Dolby). The company has also attracted a world-class advisory team, which includes a former CTO from Philips and a former CEO from Barco.
CLEARink's unique and patented technology was originally developed at the University of British Columbia. The company currently holds 23 patents with several more pending. The development is being supported by co-development partners and potential customers in Taiwan, the Netherlands, the UK, and USA.
