Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) Microdisplays
• Warfighters require displays that operate in bright ambient environments
• High Brightness Color OLED microdisplays satisfy military requirements, but are too expensive and have low yield to be a feasible alternative.
• Overall scrap/repair rate reduced by 86% for circuit board assembly;47% for fully assembled packs.
• Established new on-shore manufacturing capability – bulk Si and SOI backplanes
• Improved lifetime and lower power consumption.
• Yield: 5X improvement
• Cost: 5X improvement ($10k to $2k for HD High Brightness Color)
• Cycle times: 45% improvement of final component yield
Implementation and Technology Transfer:
F-35 Head Mounted Display System (F-35 HMDS Program Office);
Enhanced Visual Acuity (EVA) Goggles (NAVAIR PMA 202);
Multispectral Digital Fusion Goggles (SOCOM);
Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) Display Unit (JHMCS Joint Program Office);
and Enhanced Night Vision Goggles (ENVG) and Army Family of Weapon Sights (FWS) (PM Soldiers Sensors and Lasers).
OSD ManTech $4.95M
(PMA 202, NVESD) $2.24M
Industry cost share (eMagin) $4.75M

Note : The $2K/unit display cost is for Military grade . Once a Manufacturing Partnership is established for Consumer grade displays that is expected to be completed in 4Q '17 or 1Q '18 is implemented utilizing the new backplane technology, an Analyst Research Report from Jan 2017 estimates that the eMagin 2K x 2K display will be sold to OEM's for $50/display .
