MED exports its first miniature displays

An Edinburgh firm that makes displays so tiny they could be used to put a TV set on a pair of glasses, announced its first exports yesterday. MicroEmissive Displays shipped its low-power OLED polymer displays to Asia to be used in "night scopes" for the leisure market.

The high-resolution but tiny screens are ideal for "near to eye" mobile uses. Bill Miller, chief executive of the Aim-listed company, said: "The start of production and the first shipment to a customer represent significant milestones for MED. There is still much to do but we look forward to 2006 with confidence."
