eMagin and the U.S. Army will work together to develop a testing methodology to measure the useful life of AMOLED Microdisplays.
Under the terms of this Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), eMagin and NVESD will develop better ways to assess the applicability of active matrix OLED displays in military systems on the basis of their usable lifetimes. Current methodologies for measuring lifetime of non-emissive displays, such as LCDs, do not apply to emissive displays like OLED devices. Rather, the display's lifetime depends on the specific application and can be much longer than most conventional models predict.
