The amount of P-OLED material used, even for 10M displays (announced capacity) per year is miniscule and would not be a sustainable licensing revenue for CDT or material revenue for Summation, without several major display makers. MED products will be used for near eye applications and should have an advantage over LCD based microdisplays, because the do net need an external light source or light modulation components. The MED microdisplays should be thinner (especially by using thin film encapsulation), lower cost and use less power. However, the market is currently limited and highly competitive.

What do you think of MED's recent moves into "volume" production---they say they've started shipping product in July---using the CDT licensed technology? Although they admittedly make small form-factor P-OLED displays, how do you like their chances? What impact might the Sumitomo-CDT deal have on them? Barry,
