(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 21, 2004 ) HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y., & TOnsberg, Norway, July 21, 2004 -- eMagin Corporation (AMEX: EMA), the leading manufacturer of active matrix OLED-on-silicon displays, has placed its award-winning SVGA microdisplay in a fire control system (FCS) being developed by Vinghog AS of Tonsberg, Norway. The company is preparing the system as part of the Norwegian Soldier Modernization Program.

Vinghog designed this system as a stand-alone universal site for all weapons and calibers from 5.56 to 40 mm automatic grenade launcher.

The Vingsight FCS uses a see-through OLED microdisplay to deliver graphic and text information as overlays on the target image. The overlays show the user's own position, target position, waypoint indication, and bank and arrow indication for direction. In addition, an integrated camera provides enhanced low-light operation. The Vingsight system also contains a laser rangefinder, digital magnetic compass, GPS, motion and temperature sensors, and storage capacity for ten images. It communicates by USB2.



"Modernizing our military means preparing them for the 21st century; so we built our system to take advantage of the latest technologies and deliver capabilities for tomorrow's conflicts," said Trygve Egenes, Managing Director, Vinghog AS. "The OLED display can deliver the brightness we need for daylight and low-light applications at temperatures starting at -40oC. And its low power and weight make it ideal for the Vingsight."

"The Vingsight FCS delivers critical information where and when it's needed. Vinghog has done an efficient, effective design," said Susan Jones, eMagin's chief marketing and strategy officer. "It's exciting for us to see our displays used in such a critical and advanced system."
