When Kodak made Brownies, folks began to say cheese. [2]

Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: EK) is a multinational US corporation which produces imaging and photographic materials and equipment. [3]

Eastman Kodak Company is the world’s foremost imaging innovator, providing leading products and services to the photographic, graphic communications and healthcare markets. [2]

Long known for its wide range of photographic film products, Kodak is re-focusing on two major markets: digital photography and digital printing. [3]

The inventor of the Brownie camera (1900), Kodak has retouched its image from a top maker of photographic film to a provider of imaging technology products and services to the photographic and graphic communications markets. [2]

The roll film used in the first model of the Kodak camera had a paper base but was soon superseded by a film with a cellulose base, a practical, transparent, flexible film. [3]

The company bears the name of its founder, George Eastman, who became interested in photography during the late 1870s while planning a vacation from his job as a bank clerk in Rochester, New York. [2]

The license, which is royalty bearing to Kodak, enables CMEL to use Kodak technology (intellectual property, manufacturing know-how, and materials) for active matrix OLED modules in a variety of small to medium size display applications such as mobile phones, digital cameras and portable media players. [3]

The company’s consumer digital imaging unit produces digital cameras, home photo printers, and all-in-one inkjet printers; offers retailers a full range of digital printing hardware and media, including photo kiosks; and operates online imaging services, such as Kodak EasyShare Gallery, where consumers can view, store, and share their digital photos with others and which also offers a variety of imaging-related personalized merchandise. [2]

Through the development of microfilm technology, Eastman Kodak was able to provide business and government with a solution for long term document storage. [...] Kodak’s origins rest with Eastman Dry Plate Company, and the General Aristo Company, founded by inventor George Eastman in Rochester and Jamestown, New York. [3]

Kodak’s multiyear shift to become a digital technology business spurred the company in 2009 to discontinue its iconic Kodachrome color film, which had logged sales declines. [...] It operates through three segments: Consumer Digital Imaging Group; Film, Photofinishing, and Entertainment Group; and Graphic Communications Group. [...] Kodak had missed an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of this technology in the 1940s when it declined an offer to market an instant camera invented by Polaroid founder Edwin Land. [2]
