EMA Emagin Corp

eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in virtual imaging technology for defense and security applications, is demonstrating its microdisplay and virtual imaging technologies in Stand 1009 at the 2005 DSEi Conference and Exhibition being held September 13-16 at London's ExCel Exhibition Center. DSEi is the largest international tri-service defense exhibition, with an expected attendance of 20,000 visitors. Proven in deployed security and defense systems, eMagin microdisplays deliver high contrast, flicker-free imagery with the lowest power consumption of any competing display solution. The microdisplays can operate effectively at temperatures ranging from -40 degrees Celsius to more than 65 degrees Celsius, the widest temperature range of any display solution in the world today. "Situational awareness, targeting, and surveillance make modern soldiers effective and help them survive," said Susan Jones, chief marketing and strategy officer, eMagin Corporation. "Key to making this information available is our high-performance microdisplays. Our OLED-on-silicon products deliver flicker-free, high-resolution information with the lowest overall system power consumption. That's why so many contractors are turning to OLED microdisplays." To illustrate the flexibility and performance of its microdisplays, eMagin is demonstrating examples of prominent OLED-based customer products designed and qualified to operate in harsh environments. -- Kaiser Electro-Optics full-color SO-35 monocular viewer, developed for the Land Warrior Program, provides thermal sighting and situational awareness (www.keo.com). -- Liteye Systems LE 400 full-color viewer and the LE 500 see-through viewers bring virtual imaging to commercial and military customers in Europe and North America. (www.liteye.com) -- Total Fire Group's monochrome, helmet-based thermal imaging unit provides hands-free thermal imaging for firefighters, leaving both hands free for the work of fighting while providing critical visual information. (www.totalfiregroup.com) -- Quantum3D's Expedition system incorporates eMagin's Z800 3DVisor in a wearable, embedded-training platform. Based on Quantum3D's THERMITE(TM) Tactical Visual Computer and featuring a patent-pending weapon-mounted synthetic environment controller, correlated head/body/weapon motion trackers, and load-bearing vest, Expedition provides an integrated, wireless, open-architecture platform that enables rapid development and deployment of embedded training and mission-rehearsal scenarios. (http://www.quantum3d.com) Based on the company's patented OLED-on-silicon technology, the company's microdisplays and subsystems meet the needs of near-eye applications ranging from night-vision headsets and scopes to mobile command and control to 3D simulations. Built on this same technology base, the Z800 3DVisor provides full-color, 360-degree, 3D stereovision through its state-of-the-art head tracking and SVGA 3D OLED microdisplays. With hi-fi stereo sound and noise-canceling microphone, the Visor enables group training scenarios as well as individual-based sessions. OLED - Ideal for Near-Eye Applications Owing to the inherent benefits of OLED technology, eMagin's SVGA+ microdisplays deliver the resolution, brightness, and speed for a broad range of defense and security applications. Because OLEDs refresh in microseconds rather than milliseconds, eMagin microdisplays deliver images and information virtually flicker free in near-eye applications. With the world's lowest power display solution they provide soldiers with critical information for extended periods in harsh environments, ranging from extreme cold to high heat without additional heaters or coolers. Since they emit light in all directions, OLED microdisplays accommodate a greater range of pupil movement than traditional LCDs. Coupled with their ability to change full color and high gray scale data at rates measured in microseconds instead of tens of milliseconds - this characteristic makes them ideal for near-eye viewing.
