eMagin Showcases OLED Microdisplays for Defense and Security Applications at SPIE; Two Papers Outline Technology's Future and I

eMagin Corporation (AMEX: EMA), a leader in personal
display systems and OLED technology, will demonstrate the latest
innovations of power-efficient OLED microdisplays at the SPIE Security
and Defense Conference exhibition being held in Orlando at the Gaylord
Palms Convention Center through April 20 (Booth 322). Company
leadership will also present two papers at the conference.
   Gary Jones, eMagin's CEO and president, will give an invited paper
on Thursday, April 20 at 8:30 am entitled, "Organic light emitting
diode microdisplays: an essential technology with compelling
advantages." Mr. Jones will provide an overview of the applications in
which active matrix OLED microdisplays are being adopted and
highlights of this new technology's advantages. These applications
range from thermal imaging to situational awareness to simulation and
training, medical, industrial control, and consumer entertainment.
Jones will also highlight recent technology advances that will enable
more robust and higher performance OLED microdisplays and how these
will add impetus to the already growing adaptation of these devices.
   Olivier Prache, eMagin's senior vice president of display
development and operations, will deliver a paper entitled "SVGA AMOLED
with world's smallest pixel pitch," on Tuesday, April 18 at 3:40 pm.
The paper will outline the design and early evaluation results of the
world's highest pixel density full-color OLED microdisplay. His
presentation is based on results of a new SVGA OLED microdisplay
(dubbed SVGA-3DS) that is 40% smaller than eMagin's current products.
This design would expand the functionality of eMagin's current
products with no sacrifice in resolution, power efficiency, or
ruggedness.
   "Unlike legacy technologies, OLED materials and device designs
hold the prospect of even more power-efficient displays that feature
higher brightness, broader color gamuts, superior contrast, more
compact packaging, and higher resolution," said Susan Jones, executive
vice president and chief marketing officer, eMagin Corporation.
   Already delivering the most power-efficient solution for near-eye
systems, eMagin will also demonstrate its award-winning Z800 3DVisor,
which combines large-screen (105-inch display viewed at 12 ft) 3D
graphics and video with highly responsive headtracking for simulation
and training applications. eMagin will demonstrate the 3DVisor with
Quantum3D's Thermite visual computing system. The two devices are
elements of Quantum3D's open-architecture Expedition system, which
enables the rapid development and deployment of embedded training and
mission-rehearsal scenarios for military and first responder
applications.
   eMagin will also showcase its microdisplays and modules in
products from Liteye Systems and Total Fire Group, as well as its own
WFO5 prism optic, designed to deliver an apparent large-screen virtual
image from eMagin's SVGA portfolio of microdisplays. New product
announcements are slated for Wednesday, April 19.

   About OLED

   Owing to the inherent benefits of OLED technology, eMagin's OLED
microdisplays deliver the resolution, brightness, and speed for a
broad range of defense and security applications. They offer the most
power-efficient solution for near-eye applications such as thermal
imaging, situational awareness, and simulation and training. Because
OLEDs refresh in microseconds rather than milliseconds, eMagin
displays deliver images and information virtually flicker free with
crisp text and clear image data. Since they emit light in all
directions, they accommodate a greater range of pupil movement than
traditional LCDs. Combined with their low power consumption and fast
refresh rate, this characteristic makes them ideal for mobile
applications. Their ready operation over a wide range of temperatures
(-40 to 65 deg. C), and solid-state design make them the microdisplay
of choice for innovative thermal imaging and soldier systems.

   About eMagin Corporation

   A leader in personal display systems and OLED microdisplay
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's first personal display system, the Z800 3DVisor,
provides superb 3D stereovision and headtracking for PC gaming,
training and simulation, and other applications. It won the CEA's
Innovation of Year award in the digital display category and won
additional design awards in the electronic gaming category. 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 additional information, please
