eMagin Corporation (OTCBB:EMAN) is exhibiting at the SPIE Defense, Security, and Sensing 2010 Symposium through Thursday at the Orlando World Center Marriott Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
At Booth #3114, eMagin is showcasing its high performance OLED-XL™ microdisplays suited to defense and industrial near-to-eye applications, and advanced eMagin-equipped systems can be viewed at Intevac’s booth #111.

eMagin’s 1280 x 1024 pixel SXGA OLED-XL™ provides the industry’s best combination of high-resolution and lower power in a compact package (0.77-inch diagonal active area requiring less than 180 mW total power under typical operating conditions of 400 cd/m2, full-color). Key design enhancements include eMagin’s true black imagery, providing greater than 10,000 to 1 contrast ratio, as well as increased pixel uniformity and improved color gamut. The SXGA OLED-XL™ also offers on-chip automatic adjustment of luminance and gamma correction over the full operating temperature range, and compatibility with both analog RGB and digital video signals.
eMagin is also demonstrating the SVGA+ Rev3 OLED-XL, the most power efficient OLED solution for near-eye personal viewer applications such as thermal imaging, using less than 115 mW power in monochrome and lower than 175 mW at 100 cd/m2 for full color video. The SVGA+ Rev3 microdisplay allows for a simpler calibration over temperature and is ideal for demanding binocular luminance and color matching. The SVGA+ Rev3 also shares all the functional and design characteristics of eMagin's original SVGA+ Rev2 OLEDs, already proven in military and first-responder systems, including responding instantly at temperatures as low as -40ºC.

I-Port™ EX3, incorporating an eMagin SVGA+ OLED-XL display, is a versatile hands-free, near-eye helmet mounted display system which can also be mounted on lightweight military approved eyewear. The system provides a 35° diagonal field of view and accepts a variety of video inputs directly from the computer or sensor. It is well suited for OEMs, military, medical, training, simulation, and virtual reality applications.
I-Port™ Binocular 50, incorporating two eMagin SVGA+ OLED-XL displays, provides a wide 50° diagonal field of view module mountable in eyewear. Intevac Photonics IVS' proprietary In-Line Reflective Optical Collimator (IROC) provides non-pupil forming and compact eye designs.
Night Port™, a Digital Image Intensified Night Vision Viewer incorporating Intevac's Electron Bombarded Active Pixel Sensor (EBAPS®) ISIE-11 (1600 x 1200) sensor, eMagin's color SXGA OLED-XL display, and Intevac Photonics IVS' IROC, provide a simultaneous 50° diagonal field of view of color symbology overlay and low light level night scene.

- SPIE DSS Technical Conference
SPIE DSS is a leading meeting in the defense industry that brings together top researchers, scientists, and engineers from the military, industry, and academia. eMagin will participate in two presentations during the technical symposium:
-- eMagin presented a paper describing its advances in OLED materials and device architecture on April 6. (#7690B-49).
-- The US Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate will present a paper which reports on eMagin’s OLED-XL performance and life test results on April at 11:10 a.m. ET (#7688-09).
“Our high performance, power efficient OLED microdisplays are critical components in a growing number of products developed by our customers for dismounted infantry, first responders, and telemedicine,” said Susan Jones, eMagin’s chief business officer. “Total weight in the field for ground soldiers is becoming more critical as more and more specialized equipment is made available for these warfighters. We continue to strive to provide access to more data while reducing the size and number of batteries that soldiers need to carry."
Potential applications for OLED microdisplays range from night vision, thermal imaging, tactical awareness, medical imaging, and training and simulation to mobile video entertainment and electronic gaming.
