eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in personal display systems
and OLED microdisplay technology, has received notice of allowance
from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a portable
communication device with a virtual image display. Such a device
would deliver large-screen, high-resolution data displayed from a
handheld device through a virtual image that only the individual
user could see. The patent covers eMagin products such as the Z800
3DVisor, the upcoming Eyebud 800 personal display system, and
similar devices that would enhance and extend the utility of cell
phones, PDAs, personal media players, and portable or wearable
computers. Included in the patent are both monocular and binocular
systems incorporating earphone speakers and microphones. Such
virtual imaging devices would employ high-resolution microdisplays
and magnifying optics, in combination with earphones and
microphone, to deliver a virtual image that appears to be a large
display set off at some distance in front of the user's eye. Sound
and voice input complete the virtual imaging experience, delivering
full personal computing and communications capabilities. The award
of this patent provides eMagin with additional important
intellectual property for portable imaging products with
multifunction capabilities. "The convergence of mobile information
systems and mobile entertainment and communication devices creates
an opportunity for high-resolution, private virtual displays -
personal display systems - with full sound and voice capabilities,"
said Susan Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing
officer, eMagin Corporation. "People want and need to access
high-resolution data remotely, and often that data is private or
proprietary. For portable devices including web browsing-enabled
cellular phones and PDAs and video-enabled devices such as iPods,
personal display systems can uniquely deliver a combination of
larger, usable viewing screens, higher resolution, audio, and
security to provide added value to portable communications and
entertainment systems." About eMagin Corporation A leader personal
