COLORAY receives grant through American Display Consortium.FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 1995--COLORAY Display Corp., a majority owned subsidiary of Scriptel Holding Inc. (OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). :SCRH), has received a grant through the American Display Consortium (ADC (1) See A/D converter. (2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. ) and the Phosphor A rare earth material used to coat the inside face of a CRT. When struck by an electron beam, the phosphor emits a visible light for a few milliseconds. In color displays, red, green and blue phosphor dots are grouped as a cluster. See screen burn. Technology Center of Excellence (PTCOE) to design and fabricate an advanced test tool to be used in the development of flat panel displays (FPDs). Under this grant, COLORAY will, over the nest two years, develop and fabricate a system to test phosphor screens for use with field emission based on FPDs. Phosphor screens are a component of a FPD (1) (Flat Panel Display) See LCD, plasma display, EL display, FED and flat panel display. (2) (Field Programmable Device) An umbrella term for all chips that can be programmed by the customer including SPLDs, CPLDs and FPGAs. See PLD. and are used to create an image in very much the same way that the front of a television tube (or CRT (1) (C RunTime) See runtime library. (2) (Cathode Ray Tube) A vacuum tube used as a display screen in a computer monitor or TV. The viewing end of the tube is coated with phosphors, which emit light when struck by electrons. ) creates an image. Phosphor screens used in Field Emission Displays (FEDs) are very similar to those used in CRTs except that screens for FED use are fabricated on flat glass rather than curved glass which is common in CRTs. The system will be used to further COLORAY's FED development program. Under this program, COLORAY will contribute financial support for this effort in excess of 50 percent. The technology which is developed under this program will be made available to the other members of the ADC at the conclusion of the program. The grant for this project is the result of ADC's participation in the PTCOE. The ADC is a non-profit consortium comprised of U.S. companies engaged in the development and manufacture of flat panel displays. Its mission is to develop a domestic high-volume flat panel manufacturing industry that is capable of competing in a global market. This goal is accomplished by developing key pre-competitive, generic FPD manufacturing technologies. The ADC and its member companies are involved in a number of projects which include: U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology's Advanced Technology Program; Phosphor Technology Center of Excellence, and United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. Display Consortium. COLORAY is involved in the development of flat panel display (FPD) products which utilize a technology known as "field emission." COLORAY has exclusive rights to field-emission technology originally developed at SRI International (company) SRI International - One of the world's largest contract research firms. Founded in 1946 in conjuction with Stanford University as the Stanford Research Institute, they later became fully independent and were incorporated as a non-profit organisation under U.S. , Menlo Park Menlo Park. 1 Residential city (1990 pop. 28,040), San Mateo co., W Calif.; inc. 1874. Electronic equipment and aerospace products are manufactured in the city. Menlo College and a Stanford Univ. research institute are there. 2 Uninc. , CA. COLORAY intends to introduce several FPD products based on field emission over the next several years. This grant will allow COLORAY to continue to "maintain a leading position in the design and manufacture of low-cost, high-performance, Field Emission Display products," according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Kathy Vieth, COLORAY president. The test system program is expected to be completed by late 1996. Scriptel Holding, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, is the holding company for Scriptel Corp., COLORAY and AMPSCO Corp. Scriptel Corp.'s digital pen systems are sold worldwide to major computer manufacturers and value-added resellers. COLORAY is a leading FED flat panel display company. AMPSCO is engaged in the machining industry. CONTACT: COLORAY Corp. Kathy Vieth, 510/623-3300 or American Display Consortium Robin Gilbert, 202/342-8478 or Porter LeVay & Rose Inc.
