EMagin Starts Tier 1 ‘Development Project’ on Next-Gen Consumer AR/VR Headset

EMagin started a new “development project” in December with a tier-one company for a “next-generation display” in a consumer augmented- and virtual-reality headset, said CEO Andrew Sculley on a Q4 call Tuesday. It’s the type of display “that doesn't exist today,” he said. EMagin specializes in direct-patterning AMOLED technology that “gives a display with the pixel size of our microdisplays a very bright capability, and that's why the consumer companies come to us,” he said. “I don’t want to give any more information than I should.” The client is a "very secretive" company, he said.
