 Sagem Chooses eMagin OLED : Sagem Defense Securite has entered into a multi-year contract with eMagin Corporation, a leader in OLED microdisplay technology, to provide the microdisplays for its Felin program. Felin is the French Army's integrated soldier system. eMagin has already begun production to support this program, which will require more than 37,000 microdisplays through the life of the contract. The program schedule calls for Sagem to integrate the microdisplays over the next 72 months into the lightweight, ergonomic soldier systems for the active French Army regiments. Felin systems will comprise, in part, integral sensors, wearable computer, communications, and display systems based on eMagin's SVGA+ OLED microdisplay.

 eMagin OLED - Sagem soldier system
The main system integrates a helmet-mounted display that will deliver both imagery (from a head-mounted night camera) and situational awareness data. Integrating a display enables operations such as firing around a corner or "seeing" through obstacles. "Sagem's adoption of OLED microdisplays for the Felin program further validates OLED technology. These microdisplays have become the choice of the majority of the world's militaries. OLEDs have proven superior to legacy technologies, providing the lowest power, highest performance solution for innovative systems like Felin," said Susan Jones, executive vice president and strategy officer, eMagin Corporation.
eMagin OLED Display - Energy efficiency
the standard for energy- efficiency, delivers high-resolution, flicker-free images, even under adverse conditions. The 852x600 pixel microdisplay comes on instantly at -40°C. It accepts dc-coupled RGB, as well as NTSC- and PAL-compatible composite monochrome. It is available full color and in monochrome green, yellow, or white; configurations include either a glass or fiber optic faceplate. A fiber optic taper is also available to increase the image area. "Power-efficiency and ruggedness make OLED technology ideal for sophisticated, high performance soldier systems. eMagin looks forward to supporting Sagem on this important program."
