eMagin Showcases Prototype of World's Smallest Pixel Pitch Microdisplay.

Improvements in Functionality and Efficiency Highlight Next-Generation OLED Microdisplays

LONG BEACH, Calif. -- eMagin Corporation (OTC:EMAN), a leader in OLED technology, will demonstrate the latest innovations in power-efficient microdisplays, its prototype SVGA-3DS microdisplay, at this year's Society for Information Display Conference and Exhibition. Located in Booth 1717 at the Long Beach Convention Center, eMagin will also demonstrate a number of applications for personal display systems based on its OLED microdisplays and modules.

With first prototype units already in the hands of developers, the SVGA-3DS microdisplay offers both analog and digital signal processing in a compact display (0.44-inch) with greater power efficiency. This high-density OLED-on-silicon microdisplay promises an affordable, easy-to-integrate solution for many virtual imaging systems. eMagin's SVGA-3DS microdisplays eliminate the need for extra circuitry and components while allowing for a smaller display module design with increased functionality, with no increase in power consumption.

Specific improvements include increased pixel uniformity, improved color gamut, on-chip temperature sensor and compensation, and compatibility with both analog RGB and digital video signals. The 800 x 600-pixel array comprises triads of vertical sub-pixels stacked side by side to make up each 11.1 x 11.1-micrometercolor pixel. Versatile timing controls accommodate a variety of video formats. On-board circuitry ensures consistent color and brightness over a wide range of operating temperatures.

Built on eMagin's original active matrix SVGA-3D and SVGA+ integrated circuits, the current OLED-XL displays typically demonstrate 4X improvements in efficiency of eMagin's original products. This gain in efficiency enables the OLED-XL microdisplays to provide significantly higher luminance at levels power consumption equivalent to those required by the first and second generation products.

Company scientists and engineers will also give two papers: "A Low-Power AMOLED Microdisplay with Ultra-High Pixel Density and Extended Operating Temperature Range" in Session 41, Thursday at 9 AM, and "High-Performance Top-Emitting OLED Devices" in Session 59, Thursday at 3:40 PM.

"We demonstrated OLED-XL technology a year ago and implemented it across our product line ahead of schedule," noted Susan Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, eMagin Corporation. "This year it's the backbone of our product line and the basis for even more advanced microdisplay products."

The company will also feature a see-through binocular display based on its award-winning Z800 3DVisor(TM), microdisplays and modules in products from Nivisys and Total Fire Group, and its own WFO5 prism optic, designed to deliver an apparent large-screen virtual image from eMagin's SVGA portfolio of microdisplays.

eMagin has been a strong participant in the Society for Information Display since the company's founding. Dr. Amal Ghosh, vice president, OLED Research, will be General Chair for the SID 2008 International Conference, and Susan Jones is chairperson of the Applications Committee.
