New Liteye/IBM HMD with eMagin OLED display and Antelope Mobile Computer Core |
The order is to feed the demand for Liteye's new Head Mounted Display (HMD) that is being built based on the license agreement it signed with IBM earlier this year. The new Liteye/IBM HMD will be low weight, 800 x 600 pixels full color resolution, and consume under 200mA of power at the typical operating conditions.
"The combining of Liteye's and IBM's know-how with eMagin's leading edge display technology helped to create a state of the art HMD solution that will have far reaching applications in many vertical markets," said Tom Scott, president of Liteye Systems. "Liteye has always believed in eMagin's OLED technology and has been anticipating the day market demand would begin to rise."
"We are delighted that our OLED displays will play a key role in enabling the market introduction of the Liteye/IBM HMD," said Susan Jones, eMagin's chief marketing and strategy officer. "Coupled with Antelope's new mobile computer, the headset system will usher in a new realm of versatile, powerful, and practical mobile computing."
Customers to whom Liteye will be supplying HMD solutions which incorporate eMagin's OLED microdisplays include the US military and Antelope Technologies, Inc. Antelope Technologies will be providing the HMD as one of the accessories it offers with its new co-branded MCC (TM) (Mobile Computer Core), a new mobile computer that puts the power of a full PC in the palm of your hand.

Because eMagin's emissive OLED microdisplay requires no backlight and has system functionality built into the display, the entire system is more compact than previous high-resolution HMD systems. The combined technologies from Liteye, eMagin, and IBM will result in a sleeker, smaller, lightweight, and versatile headset that can display images from a computer screen to infrared video and can be attached to firefighter, flight, or combat helmets or hardhats in addition to being used as wearable computers. All the imaging data is stored at each pixel between frames, eliminating the flicker and breakup observed on many other HMD systems when the user is actively mobile.
