Business Wire
eMagin Corporation (AMEX: EMA), a leader in OLED microdisplays and
personal display systems, and Vision 3 International (V3i), Ltd., a
Korea-based leader in stereo imaging technologies, announce that
they have signed a Supply and Purchase Agreement. eMagin expects to
fulfill this initial $1.1 million order over the next four months.
Additional follow-on options for larger future sales have also been
agreed to. Under terms of the agreement, V3i will be the exclusive
distributor of eMagin's Z800 3DVisor(tm) for PCs in South Korea
through July 2007. eMagin will also provide a special NTSC
video-enabled version of the Z800 3DVisor for V3i, and V3i will
have exclusive distribution rights for the customized products in
South Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. In
addition, V3i will bundle the 3DVisors with V3i's nOOn(tm)
stereovision cameras, which will also be provided to eMagin to sell
in other markets beginning in September. V3i will provide eMagin's
Z800 3DVisors(tm) for applications including stereoscopic 3D DVD
theaters, PC game rooms and combined with stereoscopic 3D camera
systems. "The market for 3D imaging will grow as more content
becomes available and the ability to create and view that content
also becomes more readily available," said Dr. Yong Bum Lee,
president, Vision 3 International. "Our projections indicate V3i's
potential sales of eMagin 3DVisor products to be in excess of
10,000 units in 2007 in our markets. We share eMagin's vision and
commitment to capturing that market with products and services that
enable 3D viewing and entertainment." "The applications for 3D -
gaming, video, simulation, and training - are developing as the
amount of available content expands," said Susan Jones, executive
vice president and chief marketing officer, eMagin Corporation.
"V3i makes an ideal partner, because we have complementary products
and a mutual goal of growing the stereovision 3D market. The 3Vi
focus is on not only growing that content but enabling anyone to
create personal 3D content." eMagin's Z800 3DVisor delivers a
clear, flicker-free, high-contrast virtual images equivalent to a
105-inch screen viewed at twelve feet, in full-color stereovision.
It provides full 3D stereovision or outstanding 2D, depending on
its source material. The Z800's high-speed 360-degree headtracking
lets users look around in the virtual world just as they would in
the real world, when connected to a PC with any of about 1000 PC
game titles in the market. Completing the experience is a
communications capability with integrated, audio system with stereo
earbuds and a noise-canceling microphone. To power all these
capabilities, the Z800 requires only a standard USB port and can
greatly extend a laptop's battery life when it's used instead of
the standard LCD laptop screen. When connected to the NTSC adapter
provided with the new special version of the Z800 3DVisor, the Z800
3DVisor will provide the same large view video images from standard
DVD video, stereovision cameras, or other video data sources. About
