First Quarter Highlights:

Selected highlights of the first quarter through recent events include the following:

-- Major recognition for Z800 3DVisor. At the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show in January, the Z800 3DVisor won the coveted CEA Innovation of the Year award in the digital display category and a Design and Engineering Innovation Award for the electronic gaming category. The Z800 3DVisor delivers a high-color, high-contrast virtual image equivalent to a 105-inch screen viewed at twelve feet, in full-color stereovision. Its high-speed headtracking provides full 360-degree viewing, enabling users to look around and move in the virtual world much like they do in the real world

-- Previewed Eyebud(tm) Personal Display. A preview of the upcoming Eyebud 800 monocular personal display garnered significant attention at CES. The Eyebud delivers high-resolution video from any video-capable iPod or other personal video player, and can also be used as the primary display or as a private second monitor with a laptop or Pocket PC. Weighing only 3.6 ounces, its power-efficient design takes full advantage of its OLED display, providing four to six hours of use on its rechargeable battery.

-- Extended sales channels. Direct distributors in Asia, Europe, and Canada were announced for personal display products. An updated list is provided at http://www.3dvisor.com/buy.php

-- Announced additional design wins. Major new design wins with the United States and international OEMs occurred. For the military sector, design wins provide a potential revenue stream, if all options are exercised, to over $65M million over the next 5-6 years, in thermal imaging, situational awareness, simulation and training and other applications benefiting from the OLED's low system level power consumption, high speed, and rugged temperature characteristics expand these markets. In addition, commercial design wins continue. For example, NordicNeuroLab selected eMagin OLED displays for its new VisualSystem, which provides true 3D visual stimuli for fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) applications. More recently, Sensics’ piSight (TM) seamlessly tiles 12 microdisplays for each eye with a unique optical system to provide a complete and unprecedented panoramic virtual reality display with 150 degrees field of view and an effective resolution of 2200 x 1200 pixels per eye.

-- Announced New SDK to expand 3DGaming. eMagin announced availability of a new software developer’s kit (SDK) for game and simulation developers. Developers will also have access to all the data provided by the 6-degree of freedom headtracker in the Z800 3DVisor to enable capabilities such as looking around within a 3D world and walking, crouching, crawling, jumping or strafing with instinctual head movements rather than just key commands. The new Z800 3DVisor SDK is compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating systems, and supports programming in C, C++, and .net languages. The addition of full .Net support, along with hooks for 3D imaging and access to the full six-degree motion tracking provided by the headtracker lets game developers create even more realistic, immersive scenarios.

-- Won key patent. eMagin received notification of a patent for a portable communication device with a virtual image display incorporating earphone speakers and microphones. The patent covers eMagin products such as the Z800 3DVisor, the upcoming Eyebud 800 personal display system, and similar devices that would enhance and extend the utility of cell phones, PDAs, personal media players, and portable or wearable computers. The award of this patent provides eMagin with additional important intellectual property for portable imaging products with multifunction capabilities.

-- Announced new breakthrough OLED-XL Displays. eMagin's proprietary OLED-XL displays  provide a new level of high performance imaging, with up to 410,000 hours luminance  life, the widest temperature range, and the lowest power requirement of any commercially  available SVGA resolution microdisplay system. The new OLED-XL  devices typically have 6-10 times longer luminance half life and exhibit 3-5  times the efficiency, depending on the specific OLED-XL product and operating  parameters. This large efficiency increase permits OLED-XL displays to be capable of much higher luminance without any added power consumption. and +185 deg. F (+85 deg. C).

-- Elected New Director. Brigadier General, U.S. Army (ret.) Stephen Seay, joined eMagin’s Board of Directors. In his 33-year Army career, General Stephen Seay held a wide variety of command and staff positions, including Program Executive Officer for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation, and Commanding General, Joint Contracting Command-Iraq/Head of Contracting Authority, Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Full results are available by referencing the Company’s 10q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to be filed with the SEC.
