: EMA (1) (Enterprise Management Architecture) An earlier strategic plan from Digital for integrating network, system and application management. It provided the operating environment for managing a multi-vendor network. ), 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 This article is about the food dish. For other uses, see Gyro.

, 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 (Organic Light Emitting Device, Organic Light Emitting Diode) A thin film light-emitting technology that is expected to compete with LCD and plasma TVs as well as LCD monitors and readouts.  display. Its modular design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities.  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 Simrad Optronics ASA[1](OSE: SIT), is the holding company of Simrad Optronics Group located in Oslo, Norway. Simrad Optronics Group is a global niche supplier to the defence industry, with production facilities in Norway and USA. .

"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.
