DRS and PureDepth introduce first wide-screen multi-layer display technology to military and aerospace markets

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., 12 April 2006. PureDepth Inc. has introduced the world's first 30-inch wide multi-layer display (MLD) screen module with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels. This technology was introduced by DRS Technologies Inc. at the U.S. Navy League Sea-Air-Space Exposition in Washington, D.C. DRS holds a license agreement with PureDepth to market and supply advanced display systems to U.S. Army and Navy customers.

PureDepth MLD technology is an LCD layered, multi-dimensional viewing solution that enables users to simultaneously view two separate fields of data. By overlaying two or more separate image planes within a single monitor, MLD provides true depth of vision that significantly enhances the visual experience with faster response to time critical data.

"With this product, users can visually synthesize critical, real-time information from separate feeds of data at the same time in a single display device with multi-dimensional alerting," says Richard S. Danforth, president of DRS's command, control and communications (C3) business unit. "We consider this a significant technology advantage for command and control organizations that track time-sensitive information 24/7."
