eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), teamed with the University of
Michigan's Solid-State Electronics Laboratory (SSEL), has won a
Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contract from The Office
of Naval Research with technical monitoring by NAVAIR to study
novel approaches for thin-film encapsulation. This research will
enable small, lightweight displays and, potentially, flexible
displays. For this project, the eMagin Corporation/University of
Michigan team will demonstrate a rugged and reliable thin-film
encapsulation method for OLED displays. "This award will advance
technology to foster new generations of displays," said Susan
Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, eMagin
Corporation. "The promise of this research is a rugged, low-cost
encapsulation technique and process that can be applied to
microdisplays as well as larger format OLED devices." According to
Professor Jerzy Kanicki, head of the "Organic & Molecular
Electronics" research group, "This project should enable us to move
key technology from the lab to the customer and enable a whole new
generation of display products. We are pleased to be working with
eMagin, the leader in active matrix, OLED-on-silicon
microdisplays." About University of Michigan SSEL Located within
the University of Michigan Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science building, Solid-State Electronics Laboratory (SSEL) opened
in 1986 to offer complete capabilities for the fabrication of
silicon and gallium arsenide devices, circuits and microsystems.
The SSEL consists of a class 100/10-research laboratory with
approximately 7,000 sq ft of work area, backed up by almost 25,000
sq ft of support facilities. A separate class 10,000 Instructional
Laboratory of about 1,000 sq ft supports formal courses in
fabricating and characterizing devices and circuits. The SSEL now
has a total of over 100 doctoral students involved in its various
research programs. Also SSEL includes the Michigan Nanofabrication
Facility (MNF), which is part of the National Nanotechnology
Infrastructure Network (NNIN) supported by National Science
Foundation (NSF), serving nationwide researchers. About eMagin
Corporation A leader in virtual imaging technology, eMagin
integrates high-resolution OLED microdisplays, magnifying optics,
and systems technologies to create a virtual image that appears
comparable to that of a computer monitor or a large-screen
television. With unique technology for producing high-performance
small molecule OLED-on-silicon microdisplays and related optical
systems, eMagin is the only company to supply these displays in
commercial quantities to OEMs. In addition, the company sells
integrated modules to military, industrial and medical customers,
and has recently announced its first consumer system, the Z800
3DVisor. eMagin's microdisplay operations are co-located with IBM
on its campus in East Fishkill, N.Y. Optics and system design
facilities are located in Bellevue, Wash. For additional
