eMagin Showcases Advanced Power Efficient OLED Microdisplays at SID 2009

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--eMagin Corporation (OTCBB: EMAN), a leader in OLED technology and high resolution personal display systems, is showcasing the latest innovations in power-efficient OLED microdisplays and providing a variety of business and technology presentations at this year's Society for Information Display Conference and Exhibition at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center through June 5, 2009.

eMagin’s Exhibit (booth # 381):

eMagin is showcasing its power efficient OLED-XL™ microdisplay portfolio as components and subsystems, as well as integrated into commercial products and modules. These displays meet the needs of military and commercial near-eye applications ranging from night-vision headsets and scopes to mobile command and control, communications, training and simulation. Due to the innate ability of OLED materials to efficiently produce their own light, each pixel of a display is its own light source thereby eliminating the need for wasting light energy at dimmed or off pixels. The SID exhibition will be open on June 2 from 10:30 am to 6:30 pm, June 3 from 9 am to 5 pm, and June 4 from 9 am to 2 pm (all CST).

• eMagin SXGA OLED-XL™ microdisplay (1280 x 1024 pixels) combines high resolution and low power consumption to meet portable system requirements. This SXGA display offers digital signal processing in a compact package (0.77-inch diagonal active area) requiring less than 200 mW total power under typical operating conditions of 400 cd/m2, full-color. Important design enhancements include increased pixel uniformity, improved color gamut, on-chip temperature sensor and compensation, and compatibility with both analog RGB and digital video signals. eMagin will show the SXGA OLED-XL™ microdisplay in 720P mode combined with the Company's patented WF05 40-degree FOV (field of view) optics in an OEM platform binocular personal viewer. This is the first demonstration of high resolution OLED displays with wide FOV capability suitable for personal viewing entertainment that truly surpasses home theaters for a truly immersive experience.
• eMagin SVGA+ Rev3 OLED-XL™ microdisplay is the most power efficient OLED solution in the market for near-eye personal viewer applications. The SVGA+ Rev3 display uses less than 115 mW power in monochrome, such as for thermal imaging applications, and lower than 175 mW at 400 cd/m2 for full-color video. This microdisplay has simpler calibration over temperature and is ideal for demanding binocular luminance and color matching. It also shares all the functional and design characteristics of eMagin's original SVGA OLEDs, already proven in military and first-responder systems, responding instantly at temperatures as low as -40 ºC.
• Intevac Photonics, Inc., Intevac Vision Systems (IVS) I-Port™ EX, incorporating an eMagin SVGA+ OLED-XL display is a versatile hands-free, near-eye display system mounted on lightweight military approved eyewear. The battery-operated system provides a 35° diagonal FOV, accepts a variety of video inputs into the compact, clip-mounted display control unit, and is well suited for OEMs, military, medical, training, simulation, and virtual reality applications.

• Liteye high performance rugged display solutions. The LE-600 is a direct view HMD with no external box and 3 element Achromat optics, providing a 32º FOV at SVGA, suitable for situational awareness, portable computing, and remote viewing for medical, industrial, and military applications. The LE-750A is a rugged see-through HMD for situational awareness providing low distortion and color corrected display for portable computing and remote viewing. Equipped with full color or monochrome SVGA and polarizing beam splitter optics, it provides 30º FOV at SVGA. Its low profile design facilitates fitting under a face shield or biochem suit.

• Minerva Engineering SXGA OLED Display Interface Board is available for OEM product integration with the eMagin SXGA OLED-XL microdisplay. The Display Interface Board provides SXGA analog input at 60 Hz to 75 Hz., on-board microprocessor support at 50MIPS, externally accessible I2C bus and programming header in a compact 1.5 inch diameter logic board. The board will also be shown in use in an Mark VII Laser Range Finder. (www.minervaengineering.com)
• Nivisys TAM-14^TM Thermal Acquisition Monocular is a multi-purpose surveillance tool using the latest in miniature thermal sensor technology and an eMagin OLED high resolution display system that provides superior imagery in the smallest package available. The TAM-14 system is currently fielded by the U.S. military services in combat conditions, Federal and State Law Enforcement organizations, the Department of Homeland Security Border Patrol, and foreign allied Governments in support of GWOT.

• Rockwell Collins ProView™ SO35-MV Microviewer incorporates Rockwell Collins' proprietary SO35 OLED calibration, as used in US Army Land Warrior and Mounted Warrior programs, to optimize the display performance over an extended temperature range. It provides remote viewing of NTSC/RS170 or RGB device including various video sights, computers, maps, GPS, and other data information. It was designed to clip to standard military eyewear with a fully adjustable viewing angle. (http://www.rockwellcollins.com/optronics/News/page514.html)
• Total Fire Group's Fire-Warrior™ micro thermal imaging system is a monochrome helmet-based unit with long battery life which provides hands-free thermal imaging for firefighters or first responders, leaving both hands free while providing critical visual information. (www.totalfiregroup.com)
