EMA Emagin Corp

Sensor Technology Systems, Inc., has selected Tek Gear�s eMagin-based (AMEX:EMA) O2 microdisplay OEM kit for their new Enhanced Heads-Up Display (E-HUD) module for the AN/PVS-21 Low Profile Night Vision Goggle. The O2 OEM Kit is a drop in module that makes it easy to integrate high resolution microdisplays into new and existing designs. The O2 Kit includes eMagin�s new SVGA+ OLED-XL microdisplays and Tek Gear�s high performance controller. An accessory for STS�s AN/PVS-21 Low Profile Night Vision Goggle, the E-HUD gives the device unmatched sensor fusion capabilities. The E-HUD can overlay external video signals, such as navigation data or the output of a thermal scope, onto the real world scene. This provides the user with a high level of situational awareness. �We selected the O2 as it was the only drop-in solution that could provide us with the high-resolution, low-power and all-weather operation that our customers demand,� said Alan Page, General Manager, STS. �The OLED-XL provides the sharpest, brightest and most vibrant image we have seen on a microdisplay.� Tek Gear originally designed, tested and delivered the O2 kit with eMagin�s color SVGA+ OLED microdisplay. According to Tony Havelka, President, Tek Gear, �When we did our tests with the new color OLED-XL we were amazed that we could obtain an incredibly bright image (>300 cd/m2) at less than 900mW for the entire system at its highest luminance setting. We immediately switched to the OLED-XL for the O2 Kit as this kind of power efficiency means longer run times and fewer batteries for troops to carry in the field.� �This first announced implementation of our OLED-XL technology bears out the promise of the technology that we first saw in our labs,� noted Susan Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, eMagin Corporation. �Tek Gear�s quick implementation of the technology for the E-HUD certainly amplifies their integration capabilities and enhances their reputation as a major resource for custom wearable display systems.� eMagin�s new OLED-XL devices typically feature significantly longer (>4x) luminance half life and exhibit at least twice the nominal luminance. The new technology also improves on eMagin OLED microdisplays� industry-leading power efficiency, depending on the specific OLED-XL product and operating parameters. For the OLED-XL microdisplays, eMagin scientists developed a more efficient OLED structure while maintaining pixel-level efficiency. The results are brighter microdisplays that require no additional power consumption. Typical power consumption of a full color SVGA+ or SVGA 3D OLED-XL display running 60 Hz video at 60 cd/m2 is less than 250 mW. No heaters or special modes are required to achieve high quality, instant-on video performance at temperature ranges up to -40�C and +65�C. Tek Gear specializes in designing electronic sub-systems for microdisplays used in near to eye applications. The O1, the world�s smallest universal controller for eMagin�s entire OLED product range, is no larger than the OLED itself. The O2 OEM Kit takes integration a step further by adding a higher efficiency power supply and luminance control to the controller and coupling it with an OLED-XL display. Integrating microdisplays into a near-eye product has never been easier. For more information about Tek Gear and its innovative drop in microdisplay kits, readers can visit www.tekgear.com.
