      Profile: Luxell Technologies Inc. is a leading Canadian technology located in Mississauga, Ontario. We are the developer and provider of patented Black Layer optical interference for reflection control and contrast management of flat panel displays.

      Black Layer technology is unique to Luxell, and is today`s most effective way to combat reflection from the counterelectrode of most flat panel displays. (See "how it works."


      The company licenses its Black Layer technology to high-volume manufacturers of TFEL, OEL, OLED and PLED flat panel displays, and is actively engaged in technology transfers to mass produce Black Layer equipped displays.

      Important for the recognition of Black Layer benefits are the company`s high-performance TFEL displays, which we manufacture at our Mississauga facility. These unique, sunshine-legible displays are typically used in avionics, military, emergency vehicle, and similar critical "must read" applications.

      The first-ever sunshine-legible TFEL display.

      Announcing a sunshine-legible TFEL in 1997 was a major milestone for Luxell and for the display industry overall. No company had ever made such a display. The achievement was proof, now brought to market, of the superior capabilities of the Luxell Black Layer to minimize reflection through optical interference rather than conventional filtering.

      Today, several Black Layer equipped, high-performance BlackLITE TFEL display models are available, including 3ATI, 1/4 VGA and custom sizes. They are globally recognized as the most crisp and legible TFEL displays available.

      Licensing for TFELS, OELs, OLEDs, and PLEDs.

      Luxell`s breakthrough technology for TFELs has proven highly valuable for OELs, OLEDs, PLEDs and other types of new organic pixel displays. These displays have layered structures similar to that of TFELs. In addition to improving performance, Black Layer technology helps to minimize heat and decrease current requirements for organic pixel displays -- by doing so it helps to increase pixel life. Also, cost savings over design alternatives such as circular polarizers make Black Layer technology especially attractive to high-volume manufacturers.

      As a result, Luxell has developed relationships with several organic-pixel display developers.

      Growing intellectual property.

      The broad exposure to organic-pixel display development involving several manufacturers enables Luxel to continually add to its understanding of optical interference technology and its incorporation into the manufacturing processes of several types of flat panel displays. Luxell is acknowledged worldwide as the leader in optical interference design and manufacturing — hence our name — "The Black Layer Company."

      OLED Update at SID in Phoenix

      SID’s 23rd International Display Research Conference
      week of Sept 15th at Phoenix, Arizona

      by Russ Hunter and Clock staff

      The Papers Came First:

      In the first days at the Conference technical talks held standing room only with 75 - 150 people lining the rooms. By the week`s end, the business conference had an audience of 50 - 75.

      The first talks were reports of work in progress on OLEDs. Kodak gave three, UDC one, followed by many plasma improvements, :LCDs, electrophoretic displays that fit into the Army`s Flexible Display Initiative. One NEC paper claimed NEC has been developing electronic paper for five years. ( Offstage, presenters were upstaged by a report of DNP (DaiNipponPrinting) having achieved "an OLED display that can be folded like paper," with CDT technology. (Nihon Keizi Shimbun)
      At IDRC, DNP speakers admit the prototype has some "minor defects, but the footage shown indicated that the defects were somewhat more than minor. I`d chalk this up as promising. Electronic paper is also in research at the U. of Illinois.

      Three papers were given on carbon nanotube FEDs from Cambridge U., NHK, Ulvac. NHK also had a paper on ferroelectric LCDs, but no word at IDRC on its developing phosphorescent OLEDs.
      Kodak said it was developing a new generation of OLED materials for "always -on" devices with new dopants, featuring a new blue, BD3. "Blue emissive materials having improved color permit lower drive voltages for obtaining a white point than currently available materials. Kodak`s new BD3 provides excellent blue color emission" showing improvements over BD2. Kodak mentioned a 16,000 hour lifetime. ( All life expectancies were extrapolated from far shorter testing times. )
      Kodak`s new red dopant gave mixed results - more stability, shorter life. A third Kodak presentation discussed bottom vs. more efficient top-emitting OLED structures.

      Kodak was surprisingly absent at the Business Conference.

      Dow`s Michael Radler emphasized Dow`s commitment and ability to satisfy different OLED needs, though Dow`s main customer seems to be CambridgeDisplayTechnology. Dow`s new OLED "LUMATION - Light Emitting Polymers" illustrated "new results of our ongoing efforts to develop improved blue polymers...demonstrated new blue polymer systems with improved efficiencies and a device half-life of greater than 10,000 hours at 100cd/sq meter," mentioned very recent partner reports of life closer to 15K hours.
      Tests at Dow`s new facility sometimes run shorter time than planned, so results are extrapolated.
      A number of other presenters remarked later that (Dow`s) 50% figure for half-life is neither realistic nor useful: 70 - 75% seems more acceptable to these folks. In UDC`s talk, one speaker also brought up the 50% decay metric as NOT high enough.

      Universal Display`s paper outlined three areas of development: Large Area, TOLEDs
      (transparent OLEDs) and FOLEDS (flexible OLEDs.) They also made many comparisons between OLED and LCD lifetimes and brilliance.
      UDC reds and greens showed improvements, especially for passive matrix OLEDs. "Blue isn`t there yet." Their next generation green is up to 20K hours (half life) at 600cd/m2
      They have achieved significant improvements in red efficiency as a by-product of scaling to full production.
      UDC is partnered with Samsung to produce red/green AMOLED displays.

      The great challenges and initiatives of solid state lighting, now in R/D by major companies ( GE, HP, Philips, Fujitsu, etc.are just a few,) and all western or westernized governments, was introduced by James Broderick of Pacific Northwest Labs.
      Some companies with feet in both universes include Kopin and Cree. XYZ

      SID’s Business

      Conference centered on OLEDs.
      “Killer apps’ often turn out to be a small piece of the pie in the long run.”(Leslie Polgar)


      Tom Miller, President & GM of OLED Passive Matrix Business of DuPont Displays ran down a checklist somewhat different from Dupont’s of six months ago:

      2003 is the year when commercial reality must replace hype, he said.
      The general public is still unaware of OLEDs but many new products featuring OLEDs are coming soon; many already available in Asia, where cellphone subdisplays are the main driver for growth.

      "The phone as a fashion statement is a sea change for the display industry (even though) the OLED cellphone display is 2-8x the cost of LCDs. Users are amazed at their viewability. The market is ready for them.”
      (Later, Nokia would disagree, saying, OLEDs are not “there” yet.)
      “IP inventors must be paid for their inventions. But they must be realistic about money. The OLED industry must survive for anyone to profit.”



      From wearable- computers, clock Sept 03 Polymer technology will be the solution for roll to roll manufacturing. One future use is military uniforms with built-in OLED camouflage. Dupont’s new strategy is to move up the supply chain from materials supplier -> modules->cell maker, and finally become an OEM.


      He sees the small size OLED market growing quickly, but warns there are (still) “major challenges ahead” for large OLEDs.


      Tom Miller (Dupont)
      “All OLED players who are shipping product have leveraged a captive application to build volume and work out the bugs.” But OLEDs must now find new market areas that LCDs can’t serve. Dupont is working on these, he adds mysteriously.
      He reminds us that LCD proved itself in small displays first. Only then did computer companies see LCDs attractive for notebook displays.

      Collaboration

      The OLED industry needs companies` collaboration; to standardize test protocols, production methods and metrics, to resolve differing lifetime claims.
      And he points to the benefits reaped by the semiconductor industry from standardizing; taking a different perspective from earlier conference speakers who seemed more interested in competing with LCDs than in finding new and unusual applications for OLEDs..
      Collaboration might not be everybody’s goal. But at Dupont, where display technology commands the largest investment in growth, Dupont is looking for OLED partners.
      Miller sees a shift away from companies “founded solely to market intellectual property," though he names none. Dupont, of course, has investments in both CDT and in UDC. .
      ”IP inventors must be paid for their inventions. But they must be realistic about money. The OLED industry must survive for anyone to profit.”
      He sees coming licensing and patenting wars:
      The industry isn’t mature enough to deal with “stacked” royalties. He notes that some foreign companies are ignoring IP law. And – speaking like a man who’s never met a teen - recommends a shift to standard IP agreements, such as the music industry’s!
      ”The reality today is that supplies are limited ‘and it is currently impossible to multi-source OLED devices.” But he promises “there will be mass production and multiple sources by the end of the year ( 2003.”;)

      Universal Display’s talk had been advertised as a “tell-all” (“Pitfalls, Land Mines and Mountain Tops,”;) but turned out to be staid. EVP/CFO Sid Rosenblatt was firm that Universal is an IP licensing company: selling materials only in aid of their IP licensing business model, from their bastion of just under 500 patents.
      This reporter got the impression that UDC is prepared to play hardball with their intellectual property if they have to. However, their technical presentation seemed more honest than some other technical claims. (Recent Progress in High-Efficiency Phosphorescent OLED Technology, by Julie Brown et al, was given earlier in the week.)
      In contrast to Dupont, Rosenblatt was cool to the idea of an OLED industry consortium- dismissing it as the hope of companies with weak IP.
      Universal is an IP seller: their business model requires staying power.
      “There is a long time between startup and big royalties. UDC is not interested in selling "exclusive" rights to their technology. Their goal is to move technology into the marketplace.”
      There must be a large number of manufacturers for OLED to
      succeed, he said. UDC is talking with every major display maker in Asia about licensing; right now they are in joint development arrangements with five companies, all are negotiating
      licenses.

      As to the conflict over lifetimes, particularly that of blue, he says loftily that UDC will announce blue lifetime numbers when blue hits useable lifetimes.
      (In UDC’s technical talk “Recent progress in blue PHOLEDs UDC has shown that obtaining high efficiency blue devices is possible. For example, in a new material system we demonstrate peak luminous efficiencies greater than 10 cd/A at 100 cd/m 2 .” but the researchers give no numbers.
      For the OLED market, Rosenblatt says, “total royalties must be less than 10%, and 5% is more
      realistic.’
      He sees legal battles beginning about two years from now.

      Xerox speaker, Tony Paine, questions lifetime claims, especially those of “blue.” Xerox has achieved longer life at high temperatures than Kodak- while “Kodak customers have had a hard time matching Kodak’s published test results.” Xerox, like Luxell, has focused on the Black Cathode, eliminating need for polarizers-a technology he calls a "must have" for manufacturers.
      Xerox, however, will not be a manufacturer, though. "Oled technology is just a reverse photo receptor, and Xerox IS xerographic photo receptors!"

      And some figures emerge from CambridgeDisplayTechnology
      S.B.Cha first addressed the rumors about CDT’s perilous existence: “CDT business model is changing to meet the needs of the market, and will probably change again as the market matures… Model has evolved due to manufacturers licensing IP at the last possible moment.” ???
      With 180 employees, just under 300 patents, $100M from investors, $50M from revenue, CDT is working on technology development and on sales.

      CDT categorizes customers into three classes- value manufacturers who merit the best treatment : a "complete solution" including low cost production tools and proven processes(" to remove the risk from the equation.”;) These include Innoled a “launch customer for partnership, ” whose “unit will be delivered EOY2004: for 355mm x 355mm substrates, enclosed system
      (requiring little or no clean room.) at less than $20 million for a production line.” Innoled is a Singapore company owned by Eastgate Technology Ltd, + two unnamed partners, who intend to spend approximately 25M (Singapore dollars) for OLED manufacturing equipment. Innoled will pay a lump sum license fee and royalties on sales.” to CDT.

      Next come “value” manufacturers, leaders who get “extensive collaboration.” Brown bag “followers” enjoy “selective collaboration.”
      CDT`s blue, says Dr. Cha, now has 15,000 extrapolated hours, but promises that a CDT goal for the end of the year includes “real world test numbers rather than test cell data. ”

      CDT is also partnering with a large European consumer electronics company on developing an active matrix OLED television.

      Les Polgar, makes very clear he no longer speaks for Kodak as consultant for his new company, Talpra Consulting, but with the authority of many years nurturing the first/and most advanced OLED development.

      Oled is the only technology with a chance of supplanting TFT-LCD.
      Most of the “wild claims” have shaken out, though there is lots of disinformation about OLED lifetimes from many companies -
      “There needs to be patience and calm regarding blue life. Clever techniques can compensate for short blue life.
      Forget ‘killer apps’.and focus on smaller applications – lots of them. “Initial ‘killer apps’ often turn out to be a small piece of the pie in the long run.”.
      (ClairVoyante Corp.)

      Garry Garretson’s new company ClairVoyante introduced one of the “clever techniques:” “Penn Tile technology that makes optimum use of blue , can be used for LCDs and OLEDs- most helpful for OLEDs.
      A veteran of many tech start ups, Garretson ‘s philosophy for royalties/patents is “that most money must be left on the table.” – small royalty – as little as one half of a percent.

      ClairVoyante, he said, wants to become part of the “DNA” of the (display) industry.

      Gary Jones, CEO of eMagin offered the “best near-eye displays systems in the world: OLED on silicon.” He brought a prototype near-eye device that I got to try out. 3-D,
      with a display for each eye. It connected to a laptop via USB, and
      they were running Half-Life (a computer game) for the demo. The
      technology was impressive as far as quality and resolution, but they`ll
      need to improve the refresh rate somewhat to satisfy serious PC gamers,
      who are used to a bare minimum of 30 frames per second. I would
      estimate the prototype eMagin display at 15-20 FPS. Consumer devices along these lines are coming in the near future, he said, and the price point will be under $1000.


      Firehelmet concept by Rob Buckley, (from wearable computers - clock sept 03) EMagin said Jones will stay in near-eye market, with products like military scopes, helmet view for firefighters ( see another concept in “wearable computer article”;)
      many industrial uses. eMagin is also developing a wearable computer with IBM.

      Gary Raupp of Arizona State University discussed the Army Flexible Display Initiative, one of whose eventual goals is a paper-like display that can be folded up and put in a pocket- that may come first from inventors like e-Ink’s.
      Another great goal of the DOE for solid state lighting was discussed by of Pacific Northwest National Labs.


      A talk by FlexIC also tied into Army initiative FlexIC seems to be suffering from faster need for more investment, hoping – again- for the will to plant a display industry/infrastructure in US..

      On Display: Companies Creating Next-Generation Viewing Screens
      By John Rubino
      Special to TheStreet.com
      2/23/01 11:55 AM ET





      A year ago, my 7-year-old rated books alongside clothes as the lamest of possible birthday presents. Today he`ll read J.K. Rowling`s Harry Potter novels until we force him to stop.

      There`s a lot to like about Rowling`s work, but my favorite is her idea of art that`s magically alive. In Harry Potter`s universe, inhabitants of paintings talk to passers-by and visit one another, turning otherwise empty rooms into intelligent, if annoying, environments.

      What makes this so interesting is that we`re headed for something similar, as new display technologies like organic light-emitting devices, or OLEDs, move from lab to market.

      Imagine, for instance, a wall that seems to open onto a Yellowstone Park meadow, complete with deer grazing on wildflowers and the sound of wind rustling through the trees. At your spoken command the scene shifts to one of a thousand other views, transmitted from the African savanna, Australia`s Great Barrier Reef, a coed dorm at UCLA, wherever.

      If you`re bored with nature, you ask for the news and up comes Sam Donaldson badgering a hapless cabinet secretary. Meanwhile, thanks to video instant messaging, your friends` faces keep popping up to chat.

      Or how about a jacket with OLED fibers that change color and pattern in response to incoming radio signals (or your body chemistry or brain waves)? Or glasses with inserts that give the illusion of a full video screen. You have to expect massive global demand for stuff like this.

      As usual with emerging technologies, there`s a mix of big and small players. Eastman Kodak (EK:NYSE - news) and Philips (PHG:NYSE ADR - news) look like potential gorillas, while IBM (IBM:NYSE - news) and most of the other electronics blue-chips are doing interesting work. And privately held Cambridge Display has a patent portfolio that all but guarantees it a place at the table.

      Some others worth checking out:

      eMagin (EMA:Amex - news) is using a mix of in-house patents and licenses from Kodak to pioneer the layering of OLED on silicon. It claims some dramatic cost/resolution advantages, and recently unveiled a prototype OLED display for an IBM "Linux watch," with high resolution even in direct sunlight.

      But the real potential is in "near-eye applications" for wearable PCs, wireless Internet appliances and mobile phones. Headsets or glasses using this technology might allow users to see full-size virtual images, solving the tiny-screen problem of Internet cell phones and making portable DVD viewers viable.

      With a market cap of less than $100 million and an annual burn rate that exceeds cash on hand, eMagin has some financial issues to deal with. But you gotta love both the partnership deals and the potential of those wireless Internet displays.

      Westaim (WEDX:Nasdaq - news) is a Canadian tech incubator with an electroluminescent display called iFire, which it says is simpler to make, cheaper and more durable than current flat-panel displays.

      The company recently scaled iFire up to commercial size and resolution, and is now looking for partners to help produce what it believes will be a new generation of affordable hang-on-the-wall television sets.

      Westaim has been selling off some of its other holdings, most recently a chemicals business for C$18 million. So its balance sheet is in great shape, giving it plenty of breathing room to bring iFire to market.

      Universal Display (PANL:Nasdaq - news) is a developer of transparent, flexible OLEDs based on patents generated at Princeton and the University of Southern California. These OLEDs can, the company says, be bonded to lightweight plastic, making it possible to produce displays on a roll-to-roll manufacturing line, like a printing press.

      The first target market is hand-held device panels, where OLEDs seem to have a cost advantage. Then come wall displays, interactive clothing and all the rest. Universal Display just raised $5 million through a private placement, taking some pressure off the balance sheet in the year ahead.

      Luxell (LUX:Vancouver) is working with Universal Display to incorporate Luxell`s "Black Layer" technology to improve OLED displays` viewability and reduce power consumption.

      Another important relationship is with Lockheed Martin (LMT:NYSE - news), which is installing Luxell`s flat-panel displays in aircraft cockpits. With emerging technologies, big orders from the military, where performance is a life-or-death issue -- and where funding doesn`t depend on the state of the Nasdaq -- carry a lot of weight.

      Luxell is still a tiny company, with sales running at less than C$1 million and profitability a long way off. But a recent C$7 million private placement should take it through the coming year.

      SI Diamond Technology (SIDT:OTC BB - news) just released a demo model of a liquid crystal display, or LCD, billboard. The company says it`s bright enough to be seen from the road in full sunlight and costs only a third as much as competing products.

      The company is just now lining up manufacturers, but one customer, J.C. Penney`s drug store chain, Eckerd, has agreed to start putting the billboards up.

      It`s way too early to predict winners here. So watch the outfits mentioned here for things like partnerships with big-name companies and major orders for products. By this time next year, the picture will be clearer.

      Luxell and Hyundai LCD reports enhanced contrast ratio, Organic Light Emitting Diode (ECR OLED) Performance

      TORONTO, ON - October 06, 2003 - Luxell Technologies Inc. and Hyundai LCD Inc. announced today that their collaboration has resulted in the enhanced visual performance of OLED displays, which they will present at the forthcoming International Display Workshop in Fukuoka, Japan. Hyundai`s expertise in Small Molecule OLED design and processing, combined with Luxell`s capabilities in optical interference techniques applications has improved the contrast and legibility of OLED displays under high ambient lighting conditions. The partnering has produced a prototype 2.1" monochrome display device, suitable for portable applications and offering equivalent or superior performance to "circular polarizer" contrast-enhanced displays at a fraction of the materials cost.

      Dr. Woo Young Kim, Luxell`s Chief Technology Officer, commented, "This is merely another step in the productive relationship we enjoy with Hyundai LCD. We are laying the groundwork for the necessary technical base in order to ensure our contrast enhancement processes may be readily implemented in commercial OLED displays to the benefit of both manufacturer and end-user alike. This close cooperative relationship with such a major OLED partner, coupled with the previously announced collaboration with Canada`s National Research Council in the same technology area, is intended to ensure that we bring a fully mature, risk-free process to market on an accelerated schedule."

      About Hyundai LCD Hyundai LCD, originally a division of Hynix Semiconductor manufacturing, is now amongst the top 10 passive LCD manufacturers in the field of mobile communication, PDA, industry equipment and automotive displays and is continuing robust growth in the flat panel display market.

      Aktelux and B&A announce strategic business alliance through signing of MOU
      Wednesday January 14, 4:30 pm ET


      TORONTO, Jan. 14 /CNW/ - Luxell Technologies Inc. today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aktelux, has signed an MOU with B&A AVIONICS B.V.B.A. (B&A) of Belgium. Under the agreement, the two companies intend to explore new business opportunities through the design and development of a family of Multi-function Displays (MFDs).
      By marketing common signal processing electronics in various sizes, Aktelux and B&A jointly benefit their high-end aerospace and defence customers with very cost effective MFDs.

      Luxell Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2004 Results; Revenues up 209% Compared to Q1 Fiscal 2003
      Monday January 19, 10:30 am ET


      TORONTO, Jan. 19 /CNW/ - Luxell Technologies Inc. (TSX:LUX - News) today announced that revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2004, ending November 30, 2003, increased 209% to $623,306, as compared with $201,595 for the same period in the previous fiscal year. The net loss for the first quarter was improved to $1,753,242 or ($0.05) per share compared to a loss of $1,956,550 ($0.05) per share for the first quarter of 2003. Loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $1,349,054, compared to a loss of $1,593,623 for the same period last year.

      First Quarter Highlights:

      - Aktelux (a division of Luxell Technologies Inc.) partnered with Firan
      Technology Group (a division of Circuit World Corporation) to
      co-develop and co-market an expanded range of defence and aerospace
      systems. This partnership will allow both companies to leverage off
      the other`s strengths and to improve their competitive stance,
      deliver "best value in class", and to expand product range and
      services provided to customers.

      - Luxell Technologies Inc. and Hyundai LCD Inc. co-developed a
      prototype 2.1" monochrome display device, suitable for portable
      applications and offering equivalent or superior performance to
      "circular polarizer" contrast enhanced displays at a fraction of the
      material cost. This is another step in the right direction, laying
      the groundwork for the necessary technical base in order to ensure
      ready implementation of our "Black Layer" contrast enhancement
      processes into commercial OLED displays to the benefit of both
      manufacturer and end-user alike.



      John Wright, Luxell`s President & CEO said, "While our Q1 revenues fell short of our expectations, the revenue shortfall was caused by client needs being deferred, rather than cancelled, and therefore I anticipate a compensatory upswing in business volume in later quarters. On all other fronts the Company is performing to my satisfaction. We have made outstanding progress in working toward ISO 9001:2000 certification, which considerably strengthened our sales/marketing representation, and we are on schedule in the development and validation of our enhanced "Black Layer" process, while maintaining tight control over our costs and cash-flow. Our continued performance at this level, coupled with the improving market conditions and transition of Federal government leadership, should keep us on track to achieve our stated goal of cash-flow positive operation."
      Luxell will be holding its Annual Meeting on Tuesday, February 24, 2004 (at) 4.30 p.m. at the Toronto Board of Trade Airport Centre, 830 Dixon Road, Etobicoke, Ontario.

      Durchbruch der OLED-Technologie steht kurz bevor.

      Treffen die Prognosen des Marktforschungsinstituts iSuppli/Stanford Resources ein, dann werden im Jahr 2010 zehnmal mehr OLEDs produziert als in diesem Jahr, nämlich 366 Mio. Stück.

      Der Umsatz soll sich auf 4 Mrd. Dollar belaufen. »Ein Riesensprung«, sagt Kimberly Allen, Director of Technology and Strategic Research von iSuppli/Stanford Resources.

      Im Jahr 2002 haben die Hersteller gerade mal 4,9 Mio. OLEDs ausgeliefert und damit einen Umsatz von 91 Mio. Dollar erzielt. »Die Produktionszahlen des Jahres 2003 haben unsere Erwartungen übertroffen«, so Allen.

      Im Jahr 2003 wurden rund 17,3 Mio. OLEDs produziert, der Umsatz erreichte ein Volumen von 250 Mio. Dollar. In diesem Jahr sollen laut Allen mehr als doppelt so viele OLEDs über den Ladentisch wandern, nämlich 36,2 Mio. Stück, der Umsatz soll sich auf 470 Mio. Dollar belaufen.

      Luxell unveils new Black Layer(TM) Process for Top Emission OLED
      Wednesday August 25, 8:47 am ET


      DAEGU, KOREA, Aug. 25 /CNW/ - At Asia Display & IMID `04 Conference today, Richard Wood, Luxell`s Technical Director, presented the first public announcement of the company`s new, high performance, contrast enhancement process, known under its proprietary name, Black Layer(TM) Plus.
      This new process has been specifically developed for Top Emission Organic Light Emitting Diode(OLED) devices, which is rapidly becoming the display structure of choice for future, high resolution, active-matrix OLED displays.

      This innovation builds upon Luxell`s earlier Black Layer(TM) work and expertise, which has now been refined to yield the following additional advantages:


      1. A process easily incorporated within standard OLED manufacturing
      lines, using materials and tolerances consistent with high yield

      2. A further reduction in unwanted reflections from the OLED structure,
      together with an improvement in OLED optical efficiency. In both
      these areas, the technique is shown to out-perform equivalent
      polarization-film methods, at lower cost

      3. The introduction of a "buffer layer", providing environmental
      protection of the OLED structure, thus extending product lifetime
      and reliability.


      Dr. Woo Young Kim, Luxell`s Chief Technology Officer, and co-author of the paper, commented, "Luxell has succeeded in making this important advance in a most timely fashion. We see the OLED manufacturing sector transitioning to the Top Emission structure rapidly in the coming period, and in doing so will realise the benefits our new process will bring to their operations. In the coming months, we will be working closely with our existing licensees and partners, to ensure they fully benefit from this significant step."

      Luxell Technologies Inc. and Cambridge Display to Continue Technology-Sharing Relationship
      9/8/04

      TORONTO, Sep 08, 2004 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
      Luxell Technologies Inc. (TSX:LUX) has announced the completion of its technology collaboration program with Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) initiated in July 2003. Intended to improve market readiness of Luxell`s Black Layer(TM) contrast enhancement proce
      ss in conjunction with CDT`s polymer light emitting diode (PLED) technology, the significant technical objectives defined at the start of work were met or exceeded, and completed on schedule. Teams from both companies worked to improve the robustness of manufacturing methodologies and develop the detailed manufacturing specifications required by licensees.

      John Wright, Luxell`s President and CEO commented: "The past twelve months of collaborative work with CDT have provided us useful insights to overcome the challenges faced by our prospective client base, and assisted us in refining and enhancing our technology in the emerging OLED area. Most recently, this has culminated in our release of the Black Layer(TM) Plus process, which we believe will be of significant value to the OLED manufacturing community."

      For CDT, Jeremy Burroughes, CTO, said: "The progress over the last year has shown that process sensitivities are well within acceptable manufacturing tolerances, making this technology very workable. We expect to continue a close and supportive relationship with Luxell".

      Based on this general success, the companies are now entering into a new understanding that, while retaining their independence, they will work toward a future business and technical co-operation in the PLED area.

      How OLEDs Work

      The diodes in OLED displays emit light when a voltage is applied to them. These diodes are selectively turned on or off to form images on the screen, and create a brighter and more efficient display than current LCD devices. The newest step in the development of the OLED is the top emission structure; Luxell`s innovative Black Layer(TM) display technology features a patterned substrate with imbedded electronics to guide light up and away from the substrate, not through it like conventional OLEDs. Hyundai LCD and Beijing Visionox are technical partners of Luxell`s Black Layer(TM) OLED technology, and are amongst a number of OLED manufacturing candidates until 2005.

      How Black Layer(TM) Works

      Black Layer(TM) is comprised of an anti-reflection structure embedded in an Electro-Luminescent (EL) display, providing higher contrast, clearer images and lower power consumption, longer life, and a thinner display structure. Increased full-colour applications are believed to be just around the corner by virtue of Black Layer`s(TM) inherent efficiency and performance.

      Luxell Research is the R&D division of Luxell Technologies Inc. The division develops and licenses flat panel display technologies for defence and commercial industry. "Black Layer(TM)" is an innovative technology proprietary to Luxell. More information can be found at www.Luxellresearch.com and www.Luxell.com.

      Luxell Announces Tannas Licensing Agreement
      Tuesday October 12, 9:00 am ET


      Allows Broader Access to Growing LCD Commercial Display Markets
      TORONTO, Oct. 12 /CNW/ - Luxell Technologies Inc. (TSX:LUX - News) announced today that it has signed a licensing agreement with Tannas Electonic Displays, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Tannas will provide Luxell with its proprietary method for resizing commercially available active matrix LCDs.
      Luxell has acquired rights to use Tannas` innovative process to resize Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) LCD glass panels and reseal them while preserving the performance of the original displays. Luxell then ruggedizes and repackages the displays to meet stringent aerospace requirements.

      According to John Wright, Luxell`s President and CEO, "Licensing Tannas` display resizing technology is a value-added capability for our global clients. Through resizing of commercial displays, we can offer increased flexibility in sourcing non-standard display sizes in addition to shorter lead times and further reductions on pricing for new products and legacy product replacements. Further, we are developing complimentary methods for LCD resizing that will have a long term intellectual property value for Luxell."

      LCDs are the display of choice in most high performance aerospace flight deck applications (airlines, business jets and military aircraft) and equivalent maritime and military land vehicle platforms, having almost entirely replaced Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) technology. Conversely, complete market penetration of LCD technology has been constrained by the relatively high cost of re-tooling an LCD production line to turn out the unique sizes required by specific commercial markets.

      However, the resizing process removes the cost barrier and allows suppliers who have mastered this technique to access a much broader market. The process is combined with a complementary ruggedization treatment that makes the displays virtually immune to temperature extremes, humidity, vibration, and shock.

      Luxell is already successfully manufacturing custom displays using LCD technology through this new approach - resizing COTS LCDs and ruggedizing them for mission critical environments. These displays have been tested to aerospace environmental requirements and can be made at one-tenth the cost of custom LCDs. Luxell has found Tannas` resizing process to be straightforward, cost-effective and reliable.

      Lawrence E. Tannas, Jr., President, said, "We are pleased to be supporting Luxell in their drive to take a leadership role in providing the high-end application market with a variety of sizes of ruggedized displays."

      About Tannas Electronic Displays, Inc.

      Located outside Los Angeles, California, Tannas Electronic Displays, Inc. is a pioneer in the development of resizing electronic displays. The company designs and develops prototype resized LCDs and licenses the "TANNAS-SIZED(TM) LCD" patented, proprietary process. More information can be found at www.tannas.com.

      Luxell Technologies Inc. Launches New Prototyping System
      Thursday November 18, 11:00 am ET


      MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 18 /CNW/ - Luxell Technologies Inc. (TSX:LUX - News) today launched a new prototyping system for the development of Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) featuring Black Layer(TM) technology. The system, the first of its kind in the world, will allow the company to duplicate its Black Layer(TM) licensees` OLED manufacturing processes and facilitate the transfer of this technology to its licensing partners. The CDN$3 million equipment will have a significant and immediate impact on Luxell`s ability to perform research and development and support its growing licensing activities around the world.
      "We are pleased to have this distinguished group of investors, aerospace industry and government representatives on hand to witness this exciting new technology," said John Wright, President and CEO of Luxell Technologies Inc. "Black Layer(TM) has the potential to revolutionize the flat panel display industry, by reducing consumption, improving contrast, lowering cost, and dramatically increasing the life cycle of OLED displays."

      The newly installed, custom-made equipment gives Luxell the capability to produce on a prototype scale OLEDs and to deposit Black Layer(TM) in an integrated process. This capability will also facilitate internal research efforts in the general area of Black Layer(TM) enhanced OLEDs.

      "This new technology allows Luxell to take a leadership role in the rapidly growing OLED display market," said Wright. "This could very well translate into future increased revenues and result in job creation for Mississauga."

      Published industry reports indicate that worldwide annual sales of OLEDs are expected to exceed CDN$600 million this year. Projections for double-digit growth in the future are attributed to the advantages they offer for mobile applications and their promise for large-area displays.

      How OLEDs Work

      The diodes in OLED displays emit light when a voltage is applied to them. These diodes are selectively turned on or off to form images on the screen, and create a brighter and more efficient display than current Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) devices. The newest step in the development of the OLED is the top emission structure; Luxell`s innovative Black Layer(TM) display technology features a patterned substrate with imbedded electronics to guide light up and away from the substrate, not through it like conventional OLEDs.

      How Black Layer(TM) Works

      Black Layer(TM) is comprised of an anti-reflection structure embedded in an Electro-Luminescent (EL) display, providing higher contrast, clearer images and lower power consumption, longer life, and a thinner display structure. Increased full-colour applications are believed to be just around the corner by virtue of the efficiency and performance benefits inherent in Black Layer(TM).

      Luxell broadens patents on Black Layer(TM) technology and displays
      Wednesday December 15, 10:40 am ET


      TORONTO, Dec. 15 /CNW/ - Luxell Technologies Inc. (TSX:LUX - News) announced today that in two separate, important steps, it has expanded its impressive Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio in the area of Flat Panel (FP) displays. In a first action, the company reported that it has been issued a U.S. patent (No. 6,806,639) for an innovative Thin Film Electro-Luminescent (TFEL) structure developed to improve contrast and extend display lifetimes. In a second action, Luxell has further re-enforced its exclusive rights to its revolutionary Black Layer(TM) contrast enhancement technique by advancing its most recent filing (PCT/CA03/00904) into the national phase. This latest disclosure relates to various methods whereby the Black Layer(TM) advantage may be realized in both top and bottom emission Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) displays that are widely regarded as the next major advance in the FP display industry.
      John Wright, Luxell`s Chief Executive Officer and President commented, "This latest advance once again demonstrates the enduring value of Black Layer(TM) as it continually evolves to address the changing needs of the FP display sector. While originally developed to address the requirements of the TFEL product, it has now fully transitioned to provide similar advantage to the emerging OLED industry, whose products are just now beginning to hit the consumer and commercial sales channels. Through being proactive, we have maximized our potential for a lengthy and profitable period of licensing revenues as OLEDs incrementally invade the FP display market. Reliable reports suggest this market sector should exceed $100B/year before the end of the decade."

      How OLEDs Work

      The diodes in OLED displays emit light when a voltage is applied to them. These diodes are selectively turned on or off to form images on a screen, creating a brighter and more efficient display than current Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) devices. The newest step in the development of the OLED is the top emission structure. Luxell`s innovative Black Layer(TM) display technology features a patterned substrate with imbedded electronics that further enhances readability by guiding light up and away from the substrate, not through it like conventional OLEDs.

      How Black Layer(TM) Works

      Black Layer(TM) is comprised of an anti-reflection structure embedded in an Electroluminescent (EL) display, providing higher contrast, clearer images, lower power consumption, longer life, and a thinner display structure. Increased full-colour applications are believed to be just around the corner by virtue of the efficiency and performance benefits inherent in Black Layer(TM).

      Luxell strengthens Generation II Black Layer(TM) patent protection
      Wednesday January 26, 9:44 am ET


      TORONTO, Jan. 26 /CNW/ - Luxell Technologies Inc. (TSX:LUX - News), the developer of Black Layer(TM) contrast enhancement technology, announced today that the Company has advanced its `Electroluminescent Device` patent PCT/CA2003/000554 filed in 2003, to National Phase Entry in the U.S. This patent is the core to Luxell`s proprietary Generation II Black Layer(TM) technology, which has recently been developed to further enhance contrast, reduce power consumption, and extend display lifetimes of top emission Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) flat panel displays.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      This latest step in filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office provides additional patent protection for Luxell`s Generation II Black Layer(TM) proprietary technology. This technology is strategically important to the Company given the current emphasis being placed on AMOLED technology development worldwide, its forecasted emergence as a significant display technology, and Luxell`s plan to license its Black Layer(TM) technology into commercial and industrial flat panel display markets.

      The market for flat panel display components is projected to grow to USD $100B by 2008. According to recently published industry forecasts, sales based on the currently emerging AMOLED display technology are expected to grow from USD $200M in 2006 to USD $2.7B by the end of the decade. This high rate of growth can be attributed to the advantages that OLEDs, and in particular AMOLEDs, offer for mobile applications, as well as their promise for large- area displays.

      Furthermore, it is widely anticipated by display industry market researchers that top emission AMOLEDs will become the dominant technology for flat panel display applications as the technology matures and remaining technical issues are resolved.

      John Wright, Luxell`s President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "U.S. National Phase Entry for this patent is timely, given the emergence of top emission AMOLED display technology and its forecasted market share growth within the flat panel industry. Our Generation II Black Layer(TM) technology is now well positioned for application to this emerging technology."

      How OLEDs Work

      The diodes in OLED displays emit visible light when an electrical voltage is applied to them. These diodes are selectively turned on or off to form images on a screen, creating a brighter and more efficient display than current Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) devices. The newest step in the development of OLEDs is the top emission structure. Top emission OLEDs promise to provide additional display brightness and efficiency when compared to conventional bottom emission OLEDs by virtue of the fact that generated light, as seen by the viewer, need not pass through the display glass substrate as with bottom emission OLEDs.

      How Black Layer(TM) Works

      Black Layer(TM) is comprised of an anti-reflection structure embedded in an Electroluminescent (EL) display, providing higher contrast, clearer images, lower power consumption, longer life, and a thinner display structure. Due to the efficiency and performance benefits inherent in Black Layer(TM), increased full-colour applications are believed to be just around the corner.

      Generation I Black Layer(TM) has been developed primarily for application in bottom emission passive matrix EL displays. It consists of a semi- reflective and a transparent layer that splits ambient light in such a way that destructive optical interference occurs in the reflected light. This reduces the amount of ambient light reflected from the display, thereby reducing or eliminating unwanted display contrast `washout`.

      Luxell`s innovative Generation II Black Layer(TM) technology is based on the same basic optical interference principles as its Generation I Black Layer(TM) technology, but has been optimized for application to top emission AMOLED displays. The Generation II Black Layer(TM) technology features a patterned substrate with embedded electronics and is therefore an integral part of the entire display, allowing for simple incorporation of standard LCD active matrix technology into the OLED display structure.

      The market for consumer automotive and industrial OLED flat panel display components is expected to grow to USD $3.0B by 2008. The full color mobile phone backlight market alone was worth over USD $2B in 2004. Luxell and OLT`s strategic plan is to license and support technology transfer of the OLED backlight into commercial and military markets worldwide.

      John Wright, Luxell`s President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "The synergy between Organic Lighting Technologies and Luxell interests is both compelling and of great potential value. Combined, we offer enabling technologies that may greatly accelerate the OLED presence into the mainstream of the flat panel display and lighting markets. The combined companies bring globally recognized expertise to the topic, backed by comprehensive intellectual property portfolios. I believe investors in both companies will be impressed with the outcomes of this venture."

      "The combination of Luxell`s thin-film manufacturing expertise together with OLT`s innovative slim white OLED backlight, having superior color spectrum, brightness and brightness uniformity, will allow us to produce a backlight that solves the color gamut and brightness problems associated with current small area LCDs," said Chief Technology Officer of OLT, Dr. Munisamy Anandan. Luxell has been selected as a top submission to present its flat panel display contrast enhancement and enabling OLED technologies, including details of its strategic partnership with OLT, at the upcoming World`s Best Technologies 2005 Showcase being held on March 29-30, 2005 in Arlington Texas.
