Provocative...Thanks Jim

"The retrofit of our latest 2K × 2K microdisplay prototypes into the original design of this IHMD is being considered as a means to showcase their superior performance and higher resolution."

So the new 2K x2K was supposed to be qualified and introduced in 2Q which has come and gone . I'm hoping they are working on a prototype/reference design with the new high brightness 2k x 2k and Peak Nano GRIN optics to help introduce the new 2k x2k .

This gives an egress into a cockamamie theory. What if the "other" company is one who might be interested in having an exclusive on the defense side? Insight Technology was the first as I recall to buy eMagin displays to get a thermal channel into their Night Vision, Night Scopes etc. Insight subsequently bought by L-3. The Grin Optics explains the rapidity and reduced SWAP which L-3 built the ENVG-B in a few months and became State of the Art. And Dr. Wittels eMagin Chairman of the Board:


From 2001 until July, 2011, Dr. Wittels was Corporate Vice President, Business and Technology Strategy of L-3 Communications. Her responsibilities at L-3 included developing strategies for growth, oversight of R&D, diligence support for M&A, and cross-company business development coordination.


I'll post an interview that Vago did for Defense News with the New L-3 CEO Kubasik. He gives brief recognition to ENVG-B but  also talks about Training and Simulation for Pilot Training and other roles for MR/VR. L-3 looks to be the the Sixth "Prime" and the strategy to get their is performing well in these small but growing niches. Leave the Big Platforms for Lockheed, Boeing, DRS to fight over and get enough of the little stuff to get into the company of the Primes. Maybe crazy but if eMagin wants to do the R&D L-3 would seem a likely suitor to manufacturer the displays. In Londonderry NH right?
