eMagin Wins Patent for Virtual Imaging Communications Device; Personal Display Systems Extend Mobile Entertainment, Computing a

eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in personal
display systems and OLED microdisplay technology, has received notice
of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a portable
communication device with a virtual image display. Such a device would
deliver large-screen, high-resolution data displayed from a handheld
device through a virtual image that only the individual user could
see. The patent covers eMagin products such as the Z800 3DVisor, the
upcoming Eyebud 800 personal display system, and similar devices that
would enhance and extend the utility of cell phones, PDAs, personal
media players, and portable or wearable computers.
   Included in the patent are both monocular and binocular systems
incorporating earphone speakers and microphones. Such virtual imaging
devices would employ high-resolution microdisplays and magnifying
optics, in combination with earphones and microphone, to deliver a
virtual image that appears to be a large display set off at some
distance in front of the user's eye. Sound and voice input complete
the virtual imaging experience, delivering full personal computing and
communications capabilities. The award of this patent provides eMagin
with additional important intellectual property for portable imaging
products with multifunction capabilities.
   "The convergence of mobile information systems and mobile
entertainment and communication devices creates an opportunity for
high-resolution, private virtual displays - personal display systems -
with full sound and voice capabilities," said Susan Jones, executive
vice president and chief marketing officer, eMagin Corporation.
"People want and need to access high-resolution data remotely, and
often that data is private or proprietary. For portable devices
including web browsing-enabled cellular phones and PDAs and
video-enabled devices such as iPods, personal display systems can
uniquely deliver a combination of larger, usable viewing screens,
higher resolution, audio, and security to provide added value to
portable communications and entertainment systems."
