eMagin Showcases OLED Microdisplays for Defense and Security Applications at SPIE; Two Papers Outline Technology's Future and I
April 18 2006 - 6:00AM
Business Wire
eMagin Corporation (AMEX: EMA), a leader in personal display
systems and OLED technology, will demonstrate the latest
innovations of power-efficient OLED microdisplays at the SPIE
Security and Defense Conference exhibition being held in Orlando at
the Gaylord Palms Convention Center through April 20 (Booth 322).
Company leadership will also present two papers at the conference.
Gary Jones, eMagin's CEO and president, will give an invited paper
on Thursday, April 20 at 8:30 am entitled, "Organic light emitting
diode microdisplays: an essential technology with compelling
advantages." Mr. Jones will provide an overview of the applications
in which active matrix OLED microdisplays are being adopted and
highlights of this new technology's advantages. These applications
range from thermal imaging to situational awareness to simulation
and training, medical, industrial control, and consumer
entertainment. Jones will also highlight recent technology advances
that will enable more robust and higher performance OLED
microdisplays and how these will add impetus to the already growing
adaptation of these devices. Olivier Prache, eMagin's senior vice
president of display development and operations, will deliver a
paper entitled "SVGA AMOLED with world's smallest pixel pitch," on
Tuesday, April 18 at 3:40 pm. The paper will outline the design and
early evaluation results of the world's highest pixel density
full-color OLED microdisplay. His presentation is based on results
of a new SVGA OLED microdisplay (dubbed SVGA-3DS) that is 40%
smaller than eMagin's current products. This design would expand
the functionality of eMagin's current products with no sacrifice in
resolution, power efficiency, or ruggedness. "Unlike legacy
technologies, OLED materials and device designs hold the prospect
of even more power-efficient displays that feature higher
brightness, broader color gamuts, superior contrast, more compact
packaging, and higher resolution," said Susan Jones, executive vice
president and chief marketing officer, eMagin Corporation. Already
delivering the most power-efficient solution for near-eye systems,
eMagin will also demonstrate its award-winning Z800 3DVisor, which
combines large-screen (105-inch display viewed at 12 ft) 3D
graphics and video with highly responsive headtracking for
simulation and training applications. eMagin will demonstrate the
3DVisor with Quantum3D's Thermite visual computing system. The two
devices are elements of Quantum3D's open-architecture Expedition
system, which enables the rapid development and deployment of
embedded training and mission-rehearsal scenarios for military and
first responder applications. eMagin will also showcase its
microdisplays and modules in products from Liteye Systems and Total
Fire Group, as well as its own WFO5 prism optic, designed to
deliver an apparent large-screen virtual image from eMagin's SVGA
portfolio of microdisplays. New product announcements are slated
for Wednesday, April 19. About OLED Owing to the inherent benefits
of OLED technology, eMagin's OLED microdisplays deliver the
resolution, brightness, and speed for a broad range of defense and
security applications. They offer the most power-efficient solution
for near-eye applications such as thermal imaging, situational
awareness, and simulation and training. Because OLEDs refresh in
microseconds rather than milliseconds, eMagin displays deliver
images and information virtually flicker free with crisp text and
clear image data. Since they emit light in all directions, they
accommodate a greater range of pupil movement than traditional
LCDs. Combined with their low power consumption and fast refresh
rate, this characteristic makes them ideal for mobile applications.
Their ready operation over a wide range of temperatures (-40 to 65
deg. C), and solid-state design make them the microdisplay of
choice for innovative thermal imaging and soldier systems. About
eMagin Corporation A leader in personal display systems and OLED
microdisplay technologies, 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. eMagin's OLED
displays have broad market reach and are incorporated into a
variety of near-to-eye imaging products by military, industrial,
medical and consumer OEMs, who choose eMagin's award-winning
technology as a core component for their solutions. eMagin's first
personal display system, the Z800 3DVisor, provides superb 3D
stereovision and headtracking for PC gaming, training and
simulation, and other applications. It won the CEA's Innovation of
Year award in the digital display category and won additional
design awards in the electronic gaming category. eMagin's
microdisplay manufacturing and R&D operations are co-located
with IBM on its campus in East Fishkill, New York. System design
facilities and sales and marketing are located in Bellevue,
Washington. A sales office is located in Tokyo, Japan. For
