Business Wire
eMagin Corporation, or the Company, (NYSE
American:EMAN), a leader in the development, design and
manufacture of Active Matrix OLED microdisplays for high resolution
imaging products, today announced that the Company, under contract
from Collins Aerospace has delivered the initial displays that are
being installed in helmets for flight tests scheduled this
year.
These custom-designed Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode
(AMOLED) displays are key components in the F-35 Helmet Mounted
Display Systems (HMDS). eMagin commenced development of this
microdisplay in 2013 with the mission of providing a helmet display
that has superior contrast with no “green glow” inherent in the
previous display. Lockheed Martin’s F-35 test pilot, Tony “Brick”
Wilson, stated that the eMagin OLED display “not only reduces green
glow, but it completely does away with it.”
“Our development efforts to support the F-35 Lightning II helmet
have kicked into high gear,” commented Andrew G. Sculley, CEO of
eMagin. “We will continue to deliver displays throughout 2019 and
beyond, while concurrently working closely with the Collins
Aerospace team to further improve the display in preparation for
Limited Rate Initial Production (LRIP).”
