Opt, master of understatement

Our old (oldest) reseller T Helveka up there on the Frozen Tundra is selling Sony Microdisplays but there's a catch...


Is Tony serious about selling the Sony displays? No specs. Only comment is that they require a Driver Board. The Gen3 eMagin displays have the new Fiber Optic Faceplate and are roughly the same price as the Sony. Just a factoid.

Yes, Jim mentioned the availability of shares ay $1.35 and the scarcity of available shares at $1.30

The use of greenshoe options in share offerings is now widespread, for two reasons: it is a legal mechanism for an underwriter to stabilize the price of new shares, which reduces the risk of their trading below the offer price in the immediate aftermath of an offer - an outcome damaging to the commercial reputation of both issuer and underwriter; secondly, it grants the underwriters some flexibility in setting the final size of the offer based on post-offer demand for the shares.

Don at Investor Village invokes the "greenshoe option". If the shoe fits wear it.

9 am to noon: The coming of age for VR headsets: hardware challenges

"VR / AR is dead, long live MR!" Well, maybe not yet, but soon. Virtual Reality (VR), born as a tool for gaming, enables people to immerse into a synthetically created environment. Augmented Reality (AR), augments the natural world with virtual objects. Mixed Reality (MR) can be described as a seamless experience ranging from VR to AR. Addressing key hardware challenges (especially optical), visual & wearable comfort, and immersion are key to consumer mass adoption of any of these technologies.

Somebody on Yahoo was asking out about Clinical Trials. This is eSight2. Trials published in a few months: 2017 American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting

"Please read the bottom line from Left to Right"

Somebody needs a ruggedized eSight

IMO Elbit DEP is eMagin oled, I thought I had a sheet on it but no can find

The eSight3 is $9,995.00 but of course we don't know what's in it. Unlike Vuzix who issued a PR touting how much $$$ they'll make off blind vets...

Guide Dog- $50,000 (granted with other benefits)
Gene Therapy for Blindness- $850,000
Total Economic Burden for Person with Low Vision per year- $26,900

Add Gov Benefits, Inability to work, Us Cost for Macular Degeneration in US cost approx. $16 Billion per year etc.

And of course an enhanced quality of life is the whole point. Anybody know any blind people? Anyone ever encountered them sitting in a dark room, listening to a radio, no different, worse than being imprisoned in Solitary Confinement. Convicts get 3 hots and a cot.

AND MORE DOOM! Lithium?

Dispatch from the Western Front from Captain B's Forward Observer!

Much like the rest of the week, Emagin's appearance at the Shot Show in Las Vegas was disappointing. They had a small unmanned table Wednesday through Friday. They may have had a representative at the table on Tuesday as they were part of the supplier pre-show opening. My friend who is still at the show was not impressed. He was unaware of the S-1 debacle this week and it was impossible to explain it to him over the phone. This has been a rough week for Eman longs. I'm sure there are some who are pleased with this weeks proceedings. Wish I knew who they are and what they know about the company that the rest of us don't. I will be sending an email to Lucas and Sculley over the weekend, but don't expect much of a response if any at all.

______________________________________________________________________________

What did your friend expect? First time at these things? Any Spark piled to the rafters? Alexander Gomez OTL? Must have been checking out Cui's Labrador. 95% of these small companies are invisible at these shows. If they made any contacts it was on Tuesday.

Thank you Mr. Chamberlain for your totally dour report. Must be our "Darkest Hour."

Oh, all right

Maybe Steve Gonsalves will buy my Torch, Ghosts always wear white sheets and only appear at night, who needs color?

Wait, wasn't JC's name removed from one of the previous "Immersive" patents and now with the previous "resolutions" excised he's back?

Garce, good call on the joint patent, apart what Bavor says and other circumstantial evidence for me this nails the "Google as partner" speculation.

MICRODISPLAY BASED IMMERSIVE HEADSET 

Abstract
An immersive headset device is provided that includes a display portion and a body portion. The display portion may include microdisplays having a compact size. The microdisplays may be movable (e.g., rotational) relative to the body portion and can be moved (e.g., rotated) between a flipped-up position and a flipped-down position. In some instances, when the microdisplays are flipped up, the headset provides an augmented reality (AR) mode to a user, and when the microdisplays are flipped down, the headset provide a virtual reality (VR) mode to the user. In certain implementations, the headset includes an electronics source module to provide power and/or signal to the microdisplays. The electronics source module can be attached to a rear of the body portion in order to provide advantageous weight distribution about the head of the user.

Fan could not disclose exactly how they are able to get these high levels with good efficiency other than to say it is the backplane design as well as the OLED materials and processes that enable this development path.

He acknowledged that a RGB direct patterning approach would likely be more efficient - an important consideration in any mobile application - but the easier manufacturing and better cost structure of a color filter OLED will make this very attractive.

I applaud the doggedness of the yahoo board to get to the bottom of yesterday's share price "action", call the authorities, SEC, all that. I had an occasion to ask the former cfo what the hell is it with the share price and it's whipsawing. He said "it's easily manipulated." Sounds right but I sure get the frustration of the leaks and wire bond and the snup down and all of it, whipsawing around(usually down) for no ascertainable reason. Good Luck in your endeavour. It's a good way to vent frustration.

call Jeff. He is good about emails and calls.

Anyone heard that ENVG III has been delayed, postponed or otherwise? Nope, Keller is the best but the use of the past tense as to the fielding on the goggles seems without basis.

eMagin Corporation Comments on Preliminary Fourth Quarter 2017 Revenues
-Company Notes Significant Increase in Backlog Entering 2018-

HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — January 19, 2018 — eMagin Corporation, or the “Company,” (NYSE American: EMAN) a leader in the development, design and manufacture of Active Matrix OLED microdisplays for high resolution imaging products, today announced preliminary revenues for the fourth quarter of 2017 and backlog at year end.

Preliminary revenues in the quarter are estimated to be between $6.2 million to $6.4 million, representing a 35% to 39% increase from the year ago period.  Compared to the third quarter, preliminary revenues are estimated to be up 44% to 49% from $4.3 million.  The improvement in preliminary revenues reflects both the expected pickup in military demand as well as contributions from commercial programs.   At December 31, 2017, our backlog of open orders scheduled for delivery through December 31, 2018 was $9.8 million, an increase of 53% from the backlog of $6.4 million at the end of 2016.  As of December 31, 2017, the Company had cash of $3.5 million and a revolving credit loan balance of $4.0 million, compared to cash of $2.0 million and a revolving credit loan balance of $1.1 million as of September 30, 2017.

“As expected, our sales increased, reflecting strong third quarter military business bookings and contributions from our commercial contracts,” said Andrew Sculley, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our core military business is improving as we see the ramp-up of new programs which is driving the increase in our backlog and is expected to continue throughout 2018.  We look forward to sharing additional details of our fourth quarter results on our year end conference call in March.”

That doesn't make me wonder. I wonder why a company with a unique offering that will enable mobile AR/VR who has signed a manufacturing partnership agreement with an American Chipmaker would bother to give Fan the time of day. I say he was there to gloat period. Do not get your infatuation with Fan and his sinking ship.

another annoying microdisplay forecast but this one actually mentions the company in question and it's ...

Someone has actually heard of this

Snapshot
Low entry barrier and escalating number of revenue avenues are two of the most prominent attributes of the global microdisplays market, and the future seems prosperous. Currently, there are a few large and small vendors operating in the microdisplays market, focusing on new product launches, partnerships, and acquisitions to increment their customer base. For example, for head mounted wearable devices, eMagin Company recently introduced their ultra-high brightness direct patterned (DPD) full color microdisplay.

All about keeping the balloon inflated...

Like the Kopin Pep Rally, here is some "controversial" speculation. Anybody aware of a Microdisplay Company that has received a 7 figure payment for a display design?

"There’s a 7 figure up-front one-time optics design cost, and the hi-res micro-oleds have been expensive but they are dropping in price fast"

Miesnieks article starting to float around again...

A high-res OLED microdisplay from e-magin, suitable for a HMD (or a Watch). The image is projected into the waveguide which spreads it over the plastic lens in the glasses so you can see it in front of your face.

  • Optics that fit inside a consumer frame and are bright enough for daylight use, sharp enough to easily read text & have a wide enough field of view. There’s really not much point to AR products that only work indoors. The whole point of AR is that you can get out & about & wear them as part of your daily life. The optics need to work outdoors on sunny days, and be sharp enough to read text. FoV is less important to AR than VR as the utility use-cases aren’t as immersive as games which depend on peripheral vision. FoV mostly matters to avoid the distration from clipping the content. Today the state of the art that can be manufactured in volume is an OLED microdisplay powering an injection molded waveguide. Single focal plane. We’re a year or two away from nicely functional better displays, and probably another year or so after that before those better displays can be manufactured in volume. I heard a story a couple of years ago about a very technical strategic investor from a large OEM who passed on investing in Magic Leap early on. Not because he thought the displays were snake oil, they weren’t, they worked & the demos were amazing, but because of the challenges he understood in scaling up the manufacturing volume and maintaining a good yield without optical defects. I haven’t heard that ML has solved these challenges, and The Information reported recently they may be using a different & easier to manufacture type of display. This is the reason the military still uses OLEDs & waveguides today (not for a lack of funding & research into better systems!). Also the unit cost to produce a wave guide is very low ($1–2) if it is injection molded. There’s a 7 figure up-front one-time optics design cost, and the hi-res micro-oleds have been expensive but they are dropping in price fast. Also as yet no one has applied smartphone scale production economics onto hmd manufacturing.

Wow, what drama, riveting...(Another one for the partner discussions with the great Fanman himself, overwrought)


I was surprised to see Sculley walk into the room. This was a private event full of Kopin's partners and customers. I have to wonder did he boldly crash the party to get a look at the technology, talk with some of Kopin's partners and customers or is he having partner discussions with Fan himself? Interesting.
