IDWK International Displayworks

International DisplayWorks, Inc. (IDW) (NASDAQ:IDWK) announced today that it has been awarded two satellite radio contracts; one from a major automotive parts supplier for Film SuperTwist Nematic (FSTN) displays to be used in a new automotive satellite radio product, and the other from a major satellite radio provider for FSTN units to be used in a new portable satellite radio product. IDW is working with the customers to define final requirements and expects to start shipping displays for the automotive parts supplier during the third fiscal quarter of 2006 while volume production has already begun for the satellite radio provider. Forecasted revenue for these projects over the next 12 months is expected to be approximately $7 million, subject to IDW's ability to continuously meet the customer's forecasted demand and quality requirements. Steve Gerisch, Vice President of Sales of International DisplayWorks, commented, "This represents our first major automotive win and was enabled by IDW recently achieving ISO/TS16949 certification, the most widely recognized automotive standard in Europe and the USA. In addition, we continue to win business in the area of portable media devices, in this case a portable satellite radio. MP3 players and Satellite Radio products represent two of the fastest growing consumer electronics markets, and IDW has developed significant relationships and built a strong reputation for quality, service and price within this segment. These wins further our overall market strategy whereby we target many different vertical markets in order to diversify our business."
