Liteye Unveils eMagin OLED-Based LE-700 & LE-750 HMDs; New Optic and Universal Mount Add Utility, Flexibility

Business Wire
Industry-leading OLED microdisplays from eMagin Corporation
(AMEX:EMA) provide power-efficient information displays for Liteye
Systems' new LE-700 and LE-750 head-mounted displays (HMDs). Based
on Liteye's new patented prismatic optic, the new 700 series HMDs
also take advantage of the company's patented universal mount,
which lets users locate the display in virtually any position. "The
700 series design is based on users' comments and recommendations,"
said Tom Scott, CEO, Liteye Systems. "Many end-users liked the
clarity of our LE-500 in the occluded mode but wanted an even more
rugged, more flexible version. When we combined our new optic
design with our new, easy-to-use universal mount, the LE-700 proved
ideal for many of their applications. The LE-750 provides a
see-through configuration that fulfills the rest." The LE-700 and
LE-750 are the company's first HMDs to ship with its new patented
universal mount, which allows the user to position the HMD
precisely for comfortable viewing, truly personalizing the LE-700.
Simply loosening a single knob enables easy adjustment of the full
mount. Once the HMD is in position, tightening the knob locks that
position and holds it over repeated usage. Designed and built for
the industrial inspection and remote medical testing equipment, the
700 series delivers full SVGA resolution in analog RGB or NTSC/PAL
image, even in the remotest of areas. Like all Liteye personal
displays, the 700 series is built rugged and water tight for use in
any environment. It employs eMagin OLED microdisplays for power
efficiency and ready operation, even in extreme heat and cold. Its
new prismatic optic provides the clearest image and the greatest
eye relief of any product in its class. "The combination of proven
microdisplay technologies with the new lens and universal mount
have resulted in Liteye's most versatile display solution yet,"
said Susan Jones, executive vice president and CMO, eMagin
Corporation. "Liteye's innovative optic and mount make the LE-700
and LE-750 one of the most broadly useful HMDs available for
medical and industrial applications." The Liteye family of HMDs has
proved its utility and performance in use in such diverse
applications as IR cameras, portable medical equipment, weapons
systems, and dismounted soldier programs globally. About Liteye
