Business Wire
eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), the leader in OLED microdisplays, is
demonstrating its new OLED-XL(tm) technology at the Soldier
Technology Conference 2006. Visitors can see the new microdisplays
and learn more about them on Wednesday and Thursday at the
conference exhibition in the Ibis London Earls Court Hotel. For the
first time in Europe, eMagin will demonstrate its new OLED-XL
microdisplays, which provide improved brightness and by far the
best power-efficiency available for any SVGA microdisplay system.
In addition, the OLED-XL utilizes eMagin's proven SVGA+ and SVGA 3D
microdisplay ICs. The new OLED-XL devices typically demonstrate up
to ten-times longer lifetimes and up to five-times the efficiency
of eMagin's current products. That is, the OLED-XL displays can
provide significantly higher luminance at the same level of power
consumption levels as eMagin's current industry-leading
microdisplays. "With its emphasis on power-efficient soldier
systems, SoldierTech is the ideal place to preview our new OLED-XL
technology and microdisplays." said Susan Jones, chief marketing
and strategy officer, eMagin Corporation. "We've built the OLED-XL
microdisplays on the same active matrix integrated circuits we've
used for our SVGA+ and SVGA 3D microdisplays so that customers can
design in an upgrade with minimal effort." eMagin will also
demonstrate its award-winning Z800 3DVisor(tm) which provides
full-color, 360-degree, 3D stereovision through its
state-of-the-art headtracking and SVGA 3D OLED microdisplays. With
stereo sound and a noise-canceling microphone, the Z800 3DVisor
enables group training scenarios as well as individual-based
training sessions in a realistic 3D environment. The Z800 3DVisor
enables portable, cutting-edge military visual training simulations
- so realistic that the product has also been used in treating
post-traumatic stress disorder in soldiers returning from Iraq and
Afghanistan. In addition to its OLED-XL microdisplays and
award-winning Z800 3DVisor, eMagin will also demonstrate some
prominent OLED-based products from the following manufacturers. All
are designed and qualified to operate in harsh environments. --
Quantum 3D's (www.quantum3d.com) Expedition System(tm) integrates
their Thermite(tm) tactical visual computer with eMagin's Z800
3DVisor to provide a simulation and training tool for deployed
mission training and rehearsal. The Expedition is a wireless,
immersive, self-contained, man-wearable, open-architecture COTS
(commercial off-the-shelf) platform. -- Rockwell Collins's
(www.rockwellcollins.com) full-color SO35 monocular viewer,
developed for the Land Warrior Program, is a multi-purpose device,
capable of providing thermal sighting and situational awareness.
The SO-35 has been selected for both the U.S. Army Land Warrior and
Mounted Warrior programs. -- Liteye Systems' (www.liteye.com)
LE-500 augmented reality (see-through) viewer bringing virtual
imaging to commercial and military customers in Europe and North
America. -- Total Fire Group's (www.totalfiregroup.com) FireWarrior
micro thermal imaging system, a monochrome, helmet-based unit
provides hands-free thermal imaging for firefighters, leaving both
hands free for the work of fighting while providing critical visual
information. OLED - Ideal for Near-Eye Applications Owing to the
inherent benefits of OLED technology, eMagin's SVGA+ microdisplays
deliver the resolution, brightness, and speed for a broad range of
defense and security applications - at the lowest system power of
any near-eye solution. Because OLEDs refresh in microseconds rather
than milliseconds, eMagin microdisplays deliver images and
information virtually flicker-free in these applications, making
them comfortably usable for extended periods. Since they emit light
in all directions, OLED microdisplays also accommodate a greater
range of pupil movement than traditional LCDs. The world's lowest
power display solution, they provide soldiers with critical
information for extended periods in harsh environments, ranging
from extreme cold to high heat without additional heaters or
coolers. In addition, because the displays are solid-state, they
hold the image, even in high-vibration environments. About eMagin
Corporation A leader in OLED technology and personal display
systems, eMagin manufactures and integrates high-resolution OLED
microdisplays, magnifying optics, and systems technologies to
create a virtual image comparable to that of a large computer
monitor or a large-screen television. eMagin's OLED displays have
been incorporated into a variety of near-eye imaging products for
military, industrial, medical, and consumer markets that 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 Best of Innovations award in the digital display category and
won additional recognition 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.
