UniPixel Debuts TMOS Display Prototypes (19/6/2008)

Uni-Pixel, Inc. (OTCBB: UNXL), the developer of a color display technology called Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter ("TMOS"), today announced that it will showcase its TMOS display prototypes at SID's DisplayWeek 2008, marking the company's first public demonstration of the TMOS flat panel display prototypes.

Specifically, UniPixel will demonstrate its TMOS displays using Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR) as the means for transmitting light to the display viewer leveraging a polymer Micro-Electronic Mechanic System (MEMS) implementation-a unique approach to building displays that the company has pioneered.

At SID, UniPixel will unveil three TMOS display platforms, each developed for specific market applications. These include enunciator display systems that can be used for simple image and icon systems; dot-matrix display systems that can be used for alpha-numeric displays; and thin film transistor (TFT) systems that can be used in all types of electronic display products, ranging from cell phones to televisions.

"In recent months, we have made a significant amount of progress in the development of our TMOS display prototypes-most notably achieving fully functional TFT video capabilities and the development of our Opcuity(tm) film used to create our polymer Microelectronic Mechanical Systems (MEMS) implementations. We are pleased with the success to date and we will continue to improve on our TMOS display performance including high brightness and low power consumption," noted Mr. Reed Killion, President and CEO of UniPixel.

The initial prototypes have been designed to show the functionality of TMOS systems and its commonality with existing TFT production processes for manufacturing partners. The prototypes are in the process of being optimized relative to their optical performance potential. UniPixel believes that as it continues to make rapid advances with TMOS that it will soon produce production-aligned systems that demonstrate the enhanced brightness, improved picture quality and low power consumption capabilities that it offers in comparison to other display technologies - all while offering the potential to significantly reduce costs. The TMOS display prototypes demonstrate full optical and electro-mechanical performance that will support fully functional video capabilities applicable to cell phones, notebooks, TVs and other applications. The company will also provide presentations specific to realizing the potential and advantages over non-TMOS display alternatives that will provide UniPixel's partners with the opportunity to improve the performance of their systems, while reducing the manufacturing cost of their products using their existing production facilities.

In addition, UniPixel will demonstrate the capabilities of its Opcuity films, a key material component that UniPixel will supply to its display manufacturing partners. This will include the recently announced Opcuity FPR, which provides finger print resistance, anti-glare and scratch resistance as a top layer for any touch screen system.
