Business Wire
eMagin Corporation (AMEX: EMA), a leader in virtual imaging
technology, is providing its microdisplays for Simrad Optronics'
LP10TL Target Locator. The LP10TL is a fully integrated fire
control solution. The LP10TL provides instant target coordinates
and fall-of-shot correction. The device is menu-driven and works
well with field measurement devices, thermal cameras, terminals,
gyros, and similar equipment. Providing dual 7x or 12x
magnification and operating effectively from temperatures as low as
-30 degrees C, the target locator system also incorporates GPS,
digital magnetic compass, and a high-resolution OLED display. Its
modular design offers a large number of possible configurations to
meet each customer's specific requirements. "The LP10TL represents
a major step in laser range finding design," said Eirik Malterud,
Marketing Manager, Simrad Optronics. "We wanted to give the modern
soldier every advantage in a combat situation where every shred of
information is vital. That's why clear, quick display of
information is so important. There's no need to plug the device
into a computer to reprogram it in order to site the target or
access the menus. "We're pleased that eMagin displays meet the
rigorous needs of Simrad and its customers," said Susan Jones,
executive vice president and chief strategy and marketing officer,
eMagin Corporation. "We consistently strive to ensure that our
technology meets the most stringent performance requirements -
particularly for low-power performance under adverse conditions."
eMagin is the only company to commercialize active-matrix OLED
microdisplays. OLED pixels refresh up to a thousand times as faster
than LCD pixels. And because eMagin's patented architecture buffers
data at individual pixel sites, the image delivered is
flicker-free. Because OLED materials emit light, OLED displays are
thinner and consume less power than conventional LCDs. In addition,
OLED displays offer higher contrast and a wider dispersion of
light, making them more comfortable and usable for near-eye
applications. About Simrad Optronics Simrad Optronics ASA is today
one of the key suppliers of military and industrial electro-optical
instruments in the world. The company is situated in Oslo, Norway,
