Business Wire
Sagem Defense Securite has entered into a multi-year contract with
eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in OLED (organic
light-emitting diode) microdisplay technology, to provide the
microdisplays for its FELIN program. FELIN is the French Army's
integrated soldier system. eMagin has already begun production to
support this program, which will require more than 37,000
microdisplays through the life of the contract. The program
schedule calls for Sagem to integrate the microdisplays over the
next 72 months into the lightweight, ergonomic soldier systems for
the active French Army regiments. FELIN systems will comprise, in
part, a modified weapon system, integral sensors, wearable
computer, communications, and display systems based on eMagin's
SVGA+ OLED microdisplay. The main system integrates a
helmet-mounted display that will deliver both imagery (from a
head-mounted night camera) and situational awareness data.
Integrating a display enables operations such as firing around a
corner or "seeing" through obstacles. "Sagem's adoption of OLED
microdisplays for the FELIN program further validates OLED
technology. These microdisplays have become the choice of the
majority of the world's militaries. OLEDs have proven superior to
legacy technologies, providing the lowest power, highest
performance solution for innovative systems like FELIN," said Susan
Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing and strategy
officer, eMagin Corporation. "Power-efficiency and ruggedness make
OLED technology ideal for sophisticated, high performance soldier
systems. eMagin looks forward to supporting Sagem on this important
program." For more information about eMagin and its bright,
