OLED microdisplay maker eMagin Corp. said Wednesday it agreed to be acquired by a unit of South Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics in a deal valued at about $218 million.

Under the agreement, Samsung would pay $2.08 a share in cash for eMagin, a roughly 10% premium to Tuesday's closing price of $1.89 for the Hopewell Junction, N.Y., company.

The deal is slated to close in the second half of the year.

Trading in shares of eMagin was halted premarket on Wednesday.
