eMagin Enters Electronic Viewfinder Market with Ultra Compact, High-Resolution Color Microdisplay

eMagin Corporation entered the electronic viewfinder market this week with the introduction of its smallest and most compact high-resolution color organic light emitting diode (OLED) microdisplay.

The new XGA096 OLED-XL, measuring just .48-inch diagonal, is built on a single crystal silicon backplane with eMagin’s proprietary thin-film OLED-XL technology. The ultra compact, high-resolution microdisplay – featuring a 9.6 micro pixel design – offers extended luminance performance with no back light or liquid materials required. The active matrix microdisplay delivers crisp, high-contrast imagery via eMagin’s True Black pixel technology. The screen turns on instantly at low temperatures without the need for heaters and is built to high commercial and military ruggedness standards.

Demonstrations of the new XGA096 OLED-XL were available at the Society for Information Display conference held at the Vancouver Convention Center.

“The XGA096 OLED-XL was designed specifically for near-to-eye applications demanding high-image quality, wide color gamut, compact size and very low power,” said Andrew G. Sculley, president and CEO of eMagin Corporation. “The displays are optimized for electronic viewfinders in high end cameras as well as other battery operated devices such as data glasses and augmented vision systems.”
