-Significant Progress in Commercial Market and Military Momentum Increases-
“We experienced a heightened level of activity in the third quarter,
both in our commercial initiatives as well as our military programs,”
said
“It is widely acknowledged across the AR/VR ecosystem that display quality is a major obstacle to bringing AR/VR into the mainstream. We believe that the partner agreements that we have signed and the attention we are receiving from tier-one consumer companies, headset creators and volume manufacturers underscores the fact that our proprietary, patented direct patterning technology solves this problem and makes us the ‘go-to’ microdisplay company that will enable AR/VR.
“Our agreements with these tier-one consumer electronics companies, each following rigorous and extensive diligence on our direct patterning technology, are outstanding endorsements of eMagin’s direct patterning technology. These are major steps toward the commercialization of our technology and further evidence of our belief that our direct patterned display technology will enable the next generation of AR/VR for the consumer the market. Momentum is building as we continue to have discussions with other top tier consumer electronics companies and pursue additional agreements. At the same time, the agreements we have signed to date are fueling our ongoing discussions with prospective mass production partners to scale production for our technology to meet commercial demand.
“On the military side of our business, we saw increased booking activity
for both our U.S. programs as well as with foreign military customers.
We booked over 90 new orders totaling more than
“Additionally, we have accelerated our activity in the aviation sector in several key programs, most notably in our work to upgrade the F-35 production helmet to OLED displays which will eliminate the ‘green glow’ effect of the current LCD displays. We believe that this is an area of tremendous opportunity for eMagin.
“Finally, we are continuing to advance our product technology as we have increased brightness beyond 5,000 nits while further reducing power consumption. We have also made enhancements to our manufacturing processes for displays and have ordered new equipment that we expect will help us improve yields and reduce cycle time,” continued Mr. Sculley. “We are developing a compact interface for our 2K X 2K microdisplay, which we believe has the highest brightness and sharpest resolution in the global marketplace today, for system integrators to quickly insert into optical systems. We expect to introduce this hardware to the marketplace in the second quarter of 2018. This compact interface will enable both consumer and military prospects to more easily integrate our 2K x 2K microdisplay into development systems and therefore speed time to prototype and to production. Overall, I believe that we have made significant progress in all areas of our business this year and are well-positioned entering 2018,” concluded Mr. Sculley.
Business and Product Highlights as of
- Furthered development of our Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) partner efforts to enable multiple partners to leverage a common microdisplay design for the consumer segment.

Third Quarter Results
Revenues for the third quarter of 2017 were
Product revenues totaled
Overall gross margin for the third quarter was 7% on gross profit of
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2017, including R&D
expenses, decreased to
Third quarter R&D expenses decreased 24% over the prior year quarter due
to the reduction in R&D spending on the night vision consumer products
offset in part by the work performed on the Company’s direct patterning
technology. SG&A expenses were essentially flat with the prior year
third quarter at
