May 19, 2008 -- Uni-Pixel Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: UNXL), the developer of a color display technology called Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter (TMOS), is making its first public demonstration of TMOS flat panel display prototypes at SID Display Week 2008 trade show, which runs this week. Uni-Pixel's TMOS display uses Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR) as the means for transmitting light to the display viewer leveraging a polymer microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) implementation. The company says it pioneered this unique approach to building displays.
UniPixel is unveiliing 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 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 promise to support fully functional video capabilities applicable to cell phones, notebooks, TVs and other applications.
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.
