Emagin (AMEX:EMA)
Historical Stock Chart
From Jan 2020 to Jan 2025
Virtual Imaging went mainstream when eMagin
Corporation's (AMEX:EMA) Z800 3DVisor was honored as the Best of
Innovations in the Digital Displays Category. The product also won
Design and Engineering Innovation Honors in the Electronic Gaming
category. eMagin's Z800 3DVisor is the world's first combination of
high resolution OLED-based stereovision, advanced 360 degree
headtracker and stereo sound for a 3D experience that puts viewers
inside games or movies.
"We are honored to receive both of these prestigious awards for
our Z800 3DVisor. In particular, the award in the Digital Displays
category validates both the Z800 3DVisor and the emerging role of
virtual displays in the consumer market," said Susan Jones, executive
vice president and chief marketing officer, eMagin Corporation. "While
virtual reality was a concept ten years ago, it has taken a number of
advances to deliver a convincing virtual image today."
The award was officially announced last night in New York City at
the 2006 International CES Press Preview. The "Best of Innovations" is
awarded to the product in each category that receives the highest
level of points as judged by a preeminent panel of independent
industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the trade
press based on user value, aesthetics, contributions to quality of
life, and innovative design and qualities. eMagin's Z800 3DVisor tied
with LG Electronics 50-inch Wireless Plasma Display to take top honors
in the competitive Digital Display category. The Best of Innovations
honorees will be part of a special display at International CES,
January 5 - 8, 2006, in Las Vegas, Nevada in the Las Vegas Convention
Center Grand Lobby and will be featured at CES Unveiled, the Official
Press Event of CES on January 3, 2006, from 4:00-7:00 pm in the
Bellini Ballroom at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.
Best of Innovations and Design and Engineering Showcase honorees
products will also be featured in the Innovations Plus area of the
Sands Expo and Convention Center.
The Z800 3DVisor delivers a high-color, high-contrast virtual
image equivalent to a 105-inch screen viewed at twelve feet, in
full-color stereovision. The Z800 3DVisor's high-speed head tracking
enables 360-degree viewing. Completing this experience is an
integrated, audio system with high-fidelity ear buds and a built-in,
noise-canceling microphone. To power all these capabilities, the
3DVisor requires only a standard USB port and can greatly extend a
laptop's battery life when it's used instead of the standard LCD.
Based on eMagin's OLED (organic light-emitting diode)
microdisplays and patented optics, the Z800 3DVisor is eMagin's first
product sold directly to consumers (www.3dvisor.com) The company
supplies its OLED microdisplays, optics, and near-eye viewing modules,
as well as customizable systems, to OEM and ODM manufacturers. eMagin
displays have proven to be low-power, rugged, near-eye displays in
industrial, military, and medical environments for applications
ranging from 3D simulation to thermal imaging to augmented reality.
About OLED
At the heart of the Z800 3DVisor, eMagin's active matrix OLED
(organic light-emitting diode) microdisplays deliver high speed,
high-resolution (800 X 3 X 600), high-color imagery for near-eye
applications. Because OLED materials emit light, the displays are
thinner and lighter than conventional LCDs, and they require less
power, permitting this product to be created without a need for added
battery packs or power adapters. OLED microdisplays offer higher
contrast and a wider dispersion of light, making them more comfortable
to view and usable for near-eye applications. eMagin's 3D OLED
microdisplays recognize and deliver left-eye and right-eye
stereovision signals with unsurpassed efficiency. Color pixel data is
buffered under each pixel site, eliminating flicker and smear.
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
