EMA Emagin Corp

eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA) announced that it has received recognition as a member of DigitalLife Innovators Class of 2005. DigitalLife is acknowledging the company's first consumer offering - the first of class Z800 3DVisor, which was demonstrated last week at DigitalLife in New York City. The Z800 3DVisor was showcased in eMagin's booth, where attendees could experience 3D PC gaming or view 3D movies, and was also featured in the Digital Rec Room of PC Magazine's Digital Village. Presented by Ziff Davis Media, the DigitalLife Innovators Class of 2005 program honors leaders in the industry dedicated to educating consumers on what the digital lifestyle means in every aspect of life - at work, home and play. These select companies are driving the convergence of affordable, accessible technologies that enrich and empower people's lives. 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 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. "We're pleased to be recognized as an Innovator," said Susan Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, eMagin Corporation. "We began working on our technology, believing that virtual imaging would deliver the fullest experience of the computer's power. "With the Z800, people can access detailed 3D imagery easily and gamers can play inside their favorite games through our smooth-reacting headtracker. And they have access to a personal big-screen experience - a 105-inch monitor viewed from 12 feet - on the road or in their own living rooms." Based on eMagin's OLED (organic light-emitting diode) microdisplays and patented optics, the Z800 3DVisor is eMagin's first product for consumers, and is now available at www.emagin.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, stable 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.
