eMagin Corporation, a leader in OLED microdisplays and virtual imaging technologies, previously announced on Oct. 9, 2014 a total of $6.8 million in new R&D contract awards.

eMagin now announces that $750,000 of that total is a contract to develop an advanced backplane technology for use with eMagin’s cutting edge OLED microdisplays. This award is funded by the U.S. Army RDECOM CERDEC Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) Science and Technology (S&T) Division and Naval Air Systems Command. The $750,000 contract will be executed over the next 11 months.

“This advanced backplane will enable significant performance improvements in the OLED device including more than 30% reduction in power consumption compared to the existing backplane technology,” said Andrew Sculley, eMagin CEO. “This backplane program will play an integral part of eMagin’s advanced OLED development efforts, complementing our ongoing multimillion dollar R&D projects, including the Defense-wide Manufacturing Science & Technology and Enhanced Ultra-high Brightness OLED contracts.”
