Sagem Defense Securite has entered into a multi-year contract with eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in OLED (organic light-emitting diode) microdisplay technology, to provide the microdisplays for its FELIN program. FELIN is the French Army's integrated soldier system. eMagin has already begun production to support this program, which will require more than 37,000 microdisplays through the life of the contract. The program schedule calls for Sagem to integrate the microdisplays over the next 72 months into the lightweight, ergonomic soldier systems for the active French Army regiments. FELIN systems will comprise, in part, a modified weapon system, integral sensors, wearable computer, communications, and display systems based on eMagin's SVGA+ OLED microdisplay. The main system integrates a helmet-mounted display that will deliver both imagery (from a head-mounted night camera) and situational awareness data. Integrating a display enables operations such as firing around a corner or "seeing" through obstacles. "Sagem's adoption of OLED microdisplays for the FELIN program further validates OLED technology. These microdisplays have become the choice of the majority of the world's militaries. OLEDs have proven superior to legacy technologies, providing the lowest power, highest performance solution for innovative systems like FELIN," said Susan Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing and strategy officer, eMagin Corporation. "Power-efficiency and ruggedness make OLED technology ideal for sophisticated, high performance soldier systems. eMagin looks forward to supporting Sagem on this important program."
