Emagin (AMEX:EMA)
Historical Stock Chart
From Jan 2020 to Jan 2025
eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in virtual
imaging technology, is demonstrating its low-power OLED microdisplay
technologies in Stand 2745 at the 2005 Association of the US Army
(AUSA) Annual Meeting and Exposition in the Washington Convention
Center today through October 5.
eMagin microdisplays are used in growing numbers of situational
awareness, thermal imaging, and simulation and training applications.
The company's OLED-on-silicon technology delivers a unique combination
of high-contrast, flicker-free imagery and ruggedness - with the
lowest power consumption of any microdisplay solution. The solid-state
OLED displays do not use liquid crystal fluids, so they instantly
switch images on and off at low temperatures (-40 degrees C) and
images do not fade out (know as clearing) at high temperatures (+65
degrees C) which are common temperature operational requirements for
the military. Some customers have greatly extended the operational
temperature range. OLED microdisplays are now used in multiple
military applications worldwide.
"The ability to see maps and orders, to see the target, to
experience the visual sensation of a simulation - all make more
effective and safer soldiers," noted Susan Jones, chief marketing and
strategy officer, eMagin Corporation. "To perform effectively in the
field, soldiers need access to mission-critical information for
extended periods of time, all the time, regardless of environmental
conditions. New OLED microdisplays have proven to be the most
power-efficient technology using a fraction of the power required for
legacy CRT or LCD technologies. That's been one of the primary focuses
for us in developing these microdisplays."
eMagin is demonstrating examples of prominent OLED-based customer
products designed and qualified to operate in harsh environments.
-- Kaiser Electro-Optics' (www.keo.com) the full-color SO-35
monocular viewer, developed for the Land Warrior Program, is a
multi-purpose device, capable of providing thermal sighting
and situational awareness.
-- Liteye Systems' (www.liteye.com) LE-450 full-color viewer and
the LE-500 see-through viewer bring virtual imaging to
commercial and military customers in Europe and North America.
-- Quantum3D's Expedition(TM) (www.quantum3d.com) system
integrates eMagin's Z800 3DVisor into 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.
-- Simrad Optronics' LP10TL Target Locator
(www.simrad-optronics.no) provides instant target coordinates
and fall-of-shot correction. The menu-driven LP10TL 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.
-- Total Fire Group's (www.totalfiregroup.com) Fire-Warrior micro
thermal imaging system, a monochrome, helmet-based unit
provides hands-free thermal imaging for firefighters, leaving
both hands free for the work of fighting while providing
critical visual information.
eMagin's Z800 3DVisor will also be featured with Quantum3D's
Expedition System in the Army Materiel Command's exhibit, Stands 519
and 706. Built on the same OLED technology base, the Z800 3DVisor
provides full-color, 360-degree, 3D stereovision through its
state-of-the-art headtracking and SVGA 3D OLED microdisplays. With
hi-fi stereo sound and a noise-canceling microphone, the 3DVisor
enables group training scenarios as well as individual-based training
sessions.

Government Programs, at 425-749-3618 or rsainsbury@emagin.com.
OLED - Ideal for Near-Eye Applications
Owing to the inherent benefits of OLED technology, eMagin's
microdisplays deliver the resolution, brightness, and speed for a
broad range of defense and security applications - at the lowest
system power of any near-eye solution. 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 also accommodate a greater range of
pupil movement than LCDs.
About eMagin Corporation
A leader in OLED microdisplay and virtual imaging technologies,
eMagin integrates high-resolution OLED microdisplays, magnifying
optics, and systems technologies to create a virtual image that
appears comparable to that of a computer monitor or a large-screen
television. eMagin's OLED displays have broad market reach and are
incorporated into a variety of near-to-eye imaging products by
military, industrial, medical and consumer OEMs who choose eMagin's
award-winning technology as a core component for their solutions.
eMagin has recently introduced its first direct-to-consumer system,
the Z800 3DVisor, which provides superb 3D stereovision and
headtracking for PC gaming, training and simulation, and business
applications. eMagin's microdisplay manufacturing and R&D operations
are co-located with IBM on its campus in East Fishkill, New York.
System design facilities and sales and marketing are located in
Bellevue, Washington. A sales office is located in Tokyo, Japan. For
