The original company was founded in 1937 by Edwin H. Land, to exploit the use of its Polaroid polarizing polymer. Land ran the company until 1981. Its peak employment was 21,000 in 1978, and its peak revenue was $3 billion in 1991. The Polaroid business passed through bankruptcy twice in the 2000s.
Overview
Polaroid’s initial (dominant) market was in polarizedsunglasses — spawned from Edwin H. Land’s self-guided research in light polarization. Land, having completed his freshman year at Harvard University, left to pursue this market, resulting in Polaroid's birth. Land later returned to Harvard to continue his research.
Polaroid developed an instant movie system, Polavision, based on the Dufaycolor process. The product arrived on the market when videotape-based systems were rapidly gaining popularity. As a result, Polavision was unsuccessful and most of the manufactured products were sold off as a job lot — at great cost to the company. The underlying technology of Polavision was later improved for use in the Polachrome instant slide film system.
The Rise & Fall of Polaroid. What is the story of Polaroid? How did Polaroid Fail? What is Polaroid Originals? Who is Edwin Land? How does a Polaroid Camera work? What is the Impossible Project? In this video we explore the story of Polaroid, the company founded by Edwin Land which saw the first instant photograph camera in the Polaroid 95 Land Camera. The company saw success but failed due to an inability to keep up with modernity which saw the business fail in 2008. But the Impossible Project brought the business back to life to bring the nostalgia of Polaroid back to fans.
