eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in virtual imaging
technologies, will demonstrate the power of its new Z800 3DVisor to
deliver full 3D video in brilliant color September 2 through 7 in
Halle 2, Stand 121 at IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin. The
U.S. company announced the product earlier this year and began
shipping to consumers in early July. Based on eMagin's OLED
(organic light-emitting diode) microdisplays and patented optics,
the 3DVisor delivers high-color, high-contrast imagery equivalent
to a 105-inch screen viewed at twelve feet, in full-color
stereovision. The 3DVisor's high-speed head tracking enables
360-degree viewing. Completing this experience is an integrated
audio system with high-fidelity ear buds and a built-in,
noise-canceling microphone. To power all these capabilities the
3DVisor requires only a standard USB port and can greatly extend
your laptop's battery life over using the standard backlit laptop
screen. "The Z800 3DVisor illustrates the potential for virtual
imaging," said Susan Jones, executive vice president and chief
marketing officer, eMagin Corporation. "While computer games are
now the primary 3D surround environments, this technology could
allow 3D entertainment - programming that can be viewed from any
angle, at any time. "Learning can move into simulated environments.
Grade school students in Europe could experience the Amazon rain
forest in full 3D, 'walking through' a completely new environment,
without leaving their schools." She also outlined ways in which
virtual imaging could extend the work desk across a virtual desktop
with many open windows, each accessible by a glance. The Z800
3DVisor is eMagin's first product for consumers. The company
supplies its OLED microdisplays, optics, and near-eye viewing
modules, as well as customizable systems, to OEM and ODM
manufacturers. eMagin displays have proven to be low-power, stable
near-eye displays in industrial, military, and medical environments
for applications ranging from 3D simulation to thermal imaging to
augmented reality. "The Z800 delivers capabilities beyond those of
most current professional simulation headsets," Jones continued.
"It's small, lightweight, and power-efficient. More important, it
delivers a great image in 2D or 3D." The eMagin Z800 3DVisor is
available from www.3dvisor.com or www.emagin.com for $899 USD.
About OLED At the heart of the Z800 3DVisor, eMagin's active matrix
OLED (organic light-emitting diode) microdisplays deliver high
speed, high-resolution (800 X 3 X 600), high-color imagery for
near-eye applications. Because OLED materials emit light, the
displays are thinner and lighter than conventional LCDs, and they
require less power, permitting this product to be created without a
need for added battery packs or power adapters. OLED microdisplays
offer higher contrast and a wider dispersion of light, making them
more comfortable to view and usable for near-eye applications.
eMagin's 3D OLED microdisplays recognize and deliver left-eye and
right-eye stereovision signals with unsurpassed efficiency. Color
pixel data is buffered under each pixel site, eliminating flicker
and smear. About eMagin Corporation A leader in virtual imaging
technology, eMagin integrates high-resolution OLED microdisplays,
magnifying optics, and systems technologies to create a virtual
image that appears comparable to that of a computer monitor or a
large-screen television. With unique technology for producing
high-performance small molecule OLED-on-silicon microdisplays and
related optical systems, eMagin is the only company to supply these
displays in commercial quantities to OEMs. In addition, the company
sells integrated modules to military, industrial and medical
customers, and has recently announced its first consumer system,
the Z800 3D Visor. eMagin's microdisplay operations are co-located
with IBM on its campus in East Fishkill, N.Y. Optics and system
design facilities are located in Bellevue, Wash. For additional
