Today's Display Market

• Dominant Technologies in Flat Screen Format
• CRTs still suffer from size and weight and
  power consumption restraints of traditional CRTs
• Plasma relatively high power consumption, high
  operating voltage and low color brightness
  compared to LCD. Expensive
• LCD hampered by complexity and characteristics
  that appear to be barriers to substantial cost
  reduction and to efficient application to certain
  product areas, such as very large displays

7
The Next Generation OLED Technology

• The display industry is investing in OLED
  technology to meet future business goals
• Kodak/Sanyo recently signed a 400 million
  agreement to produce screens using OLED
  technology
• IBM is developing OLED for virtual imaging
  applications
• TDK plans to invest 284 Million on facilities
  and equipment in the next 4 years to mass-produce
  EL displays
• Samsung, Dupont and Pioneer are stepping up
  manufacturing facilities for future mass
  production of OLED
• Toshiba, Seiko Epson Corp., pursuing OLEDs using
  polymer materials

• Current technologies are hampered by the
  complexity and characteristics that appear to be
  barriers to substantial cost reduction and to the
  technologies efficient application to certain
  product areas, such as very large displays

AstroViews Strong Patent Position

• AstroView holds a unique and powerful position in
  the area of OLED technology with its patented
  contact structure.
• AstroViews technology is essential in the
  industry to meet the price points that ensure
  mass markets.
• We believe the developing OLED technologies will
  benefit from AstroViews technology and present
  licensing opportunities

• A New Paradigm in Digital Display

11
A S T R O V I E W s Technology

• AstroView brings new improvements and
  efficiencies to OLED technology in both Woven and
  Ink-jet printed display with the following
  patented technologies
• No Barrier True Ohmic Contact
• Triode Configurations
• Gated Pixel Elements
• Woven Display
• Ink-jet Printed Display
• Improved Field Emission Surfaces

12
No Barrier True Ohmic ContactThe Common Thread
ofAstroViews Technology

• AstroView has the only patented technology to
  accomplish for the first time between solids
• No Barrier True Ohmic Contact between specified
  metals and inorganic, metal-organic and polymer
  n-type semiconductors.
• That unique contact has been demonstrated in
  three different independent facilities. Results
  have been published in Proceedings of the
  Eleventh International Vacuum Microelectronics
  Conference

13
No Barrier True Ohmic ContactEvolution to Triode
Technology

• Once true ohmic, no barrier contacts are
  introduced, new means must be used to initiate
  and control Electroluminescence (EL).
• AstroViews patents introduce that means, a third
  element, to initiate and control EL. The Triode
  is a natural progression from diodes, which
  occurred in vacuum tubes and in semiconductors,
  with all the intrinsic improvements and
  advantages.

14
AstroViews Patented Gated Pixel Elements

• No Barrier True Ohmic Contact permits and
  requires a third, gate terminal to control
  conduction, avalanche in semiconductors,
  including polymer semiconductors.
• The woven Gated Electroluminescent Display (GELD)
  rely on the ohmic contact both for
  electroluminescent pixel devices and the address
  and control devices.

15
A S T R O V I E W s Triode TechnologyDiode vs.
Triode

• Diode
• Has barrier contact at injector and collector
  terminals
• Address and intensity modulation must be
  separately manufactured increasing cost
• A significant percentage of light emission is not
  utilized increasing power required to obtain a
  desired level of illumination

• Triode
• Integrally fabricated gated triode pixel elements
  and complementary triode logic devices
• Eliminates troublesome ITO contact
• Improves carrier balance and luminous output
• Address/control is easier

16
Triode not Diode Devices

• The gated, triode EL devices are either of two
  well known and characterized types MESFETS
  (Metal Schottky-gate Field Effect Transistors,
  and JFETS (Junction Field Effect Transistors).
  The EL controlling gate may be either a Schottky
  barrier or a Junction barrier to the EL material.
  The gate is an individual control element,
  independent of the diode contacts.

17
Weaving or Printing Pixels?

• AstroViews patents bring new interface and
  device technology to both woven and ink-jet
  printed electroluminescent displays. Both fiber
  and printed EL materials begin in the same
  semi-liquid solution, then drawn into fibers, or
  ink jet printed, in the dimension and thickness
  desired. Printed displays are presently limited
  by ink-jet technology to small, cell phone size
  displays.
• Weaving Displays is the next generation beyond
  ink-jet printed displays Enabling large screen
  size in OLED technology

18
A S T R O V I E W s Woven Display Screen The
Next Generation

• Low cost method of manufacture of polymer gated
  pixel and control/address devices are woven
  together on a loom like fabric
• Display area is limited only by loom
• Full color flat panel display can be as thin,
  front to back including encapsulation, of less
  than one-half inch
• The display retains operational performance with
  mechanical flexing
