Companies to Pursue Development of TMOS Displays
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, -- Uni-Pixel, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UNXL), the developer of color display technology called Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter ("TMOS(TM)") and the Opcuity(TM) family of performance engineered films, announced the signing of a Joint Development Agreement (the "Agreement") with Samsung Electronics ("Samsung") of Korea. Under terms of the agreement, UniPixel and Samsung will collaborate on advancing the development efforts around UniPixel's TMOS(TM) display technology.

Samsung is comprised of companies that are setting new standards in a wide range of businesses - from electronics to financial services, from chemicals and heavy industries to trade and services. Samsung is recognized as the number one global market share leader in multiple areas which include the TFT- LCD Panel and LCD TV manufacturing market segments. The Agreement with UniPixel further demonstrates Samsung's commitment to exploring new developments that can create innovative, high quality products and services that are relied on every day by millions of consumers and businesses around the world.
According to Mr. Reed Killion, President and CEO of UniPixel, "Samsung is one of the premier technology development and manufacturing companies in the world. The Agreement with Samsung will help establish a development platform for TMOS(TM) that leverages Samsung's technology development expertise, process development expertise, manufacturing and assembly expertise as well as providing access to resources and infrastructure unparalleled in the display industry. Samsung's history of fostering innovative ideas that advance technology and create new products and markets make Samsung the ideal partner to engage in our first TMOS(TM) joint development effort. We appreciate and are excited by the interest Samsung has taken in our development work on TMOS(TM) and Opcuity(TM) Films. We are optimistic that the relationship that is being formed by this joint development effort will lead to a mutually beneficial partnership focused on the advancement of TMOS(TM) displays and the Opcuity(TM) Performance Engineered Film they utilize."
