Organic light emitting diode (OLED) microdisplays from eMagin Corporation (OTCBB:EMAN), a leader in OLED microdisplays and virtual imaging technology, continue to enable new simulation and training systems. Attendees at this year's Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) can view eMagin’s high performance OLED-XL displays at eMagin’s booth as well as experience commercial and prototype products equipped with eMagin's displays at the booths of premier suppliers including Atlantic Cyberspace, Cubic Defense Applications, Drive Square Inc., Intelligent Decisions, Intevac Vision Systems, NVIS Inc., Quantum3D, Rockwell Collins, and Sensics. I/ITSEC is being held through December 3 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.

At Booth #1790, eMagin is showcasing its SXGA OLED-XL™ microdisplay (1280 x 1024 triad pixels), which offers digital signal processing in a compact package (0.77-inch diagonal active area) requiring less than 200 mW total power under typical operating conditions of 400 cd/m2, full-color. Important design enhancements include increased pixel uniformity, improved color gamut, on-chip temperature sensor and compensation, and compatibility with both analog RGB and digital video signals. eMagin is featuring the SXGA OLED-XL™ microdisplay in 720P mode combined with the Company's patented WF05 40° field of view prism optics in a binocular HMD demonstrator.

“Our high performance, power efficient SVGA and new SXGA resolution OLED microdisplays are critical components in a growing number of training systems developed by our customers for dismounted infantry, first responders, and telemedicine,” said Susan Jones, eMagin’s chief business officer. “Realistic training simulations improve both mission effectiveness and soldier safety. Combined with the innovative advanced training platform hardware and software developed by our customers, OLED-equipped systems can provide an immersive experience to enable the highest levels of operational readiness through training and simulation."

In addition, eMagin recently announced that it has commenced a 2-year, $6 million program to develop an ultra-high resolution OLED microdisplay with 1920 x 1200 triad color pixels. The program, managed by the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) of the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC), comprises the third phase of a multiple year effort to provide an ultra-high resolution, 3D-capable display system for advanced medical training systems. The WUXGA (Widescreen Ultra eXtended Graphics Array) microdisplay is being designed to be sized less than one-inch diagonal with over 7 million pixels at a 9.6 micron color pixel pitch. The program also involves the design of optics for a wide field-of-view between 60 and 80 degrees. The culmination of this program is expected to provide a prototype of an ultra-high resolution display system suitable for several applications within Army medicine and military simulation and training, as well as for broad military and commercial uses.
