        (h)    Patents and Trademarks.    To the Issuer's knowledge, it has sufficient title and ownership or rights to use of all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, information, proprietary rights and processes necessary for its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted as described in the Business Plan without any conflict with or infringement of the rights of others. There are no outstanding options, licenses or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing, nor is the Issuer bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, information, proprietary rights and processes of any other person or entity. A list of all patents, patent applications, trademarks and trademark applications issued since January 27, 1998 is set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions. The Issuer has not received any communications alleging that the Issuer has violated or, by conducting its business as proposed, would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets or other proprietary rights of any other person or entity, nor is the Issuer aware of any such violations. The Issuer is not aware that any of its employees is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of the employee's best efforts to promote the interests of the Issuer or that would conflict with the Issuer's business as proposed to be conducted. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, nor the carrying on of the Issuer's business by the employees of the Issuer, nor the conduct of the Issuer's business as proposed, will, to the Issuer's knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any of such employees is now obligated. The Issuer does not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize any inventions of any of its employees (or people it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by the Issuer. Each of the Issuer's employees has executed a Proprietary Information, Non-Competition and Patent Assignment Agreement substantially in the form provided as Exhibit D to the HP Stock Purchase Agreement.

          (i)  The Issuer is not in violation or default of any provisions of its articles of incorporation as amended ("Articles of Incorporation") or bylaws, as amended ("Bylaws") or of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound or, of any provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuer, except to the extent that any such violation or default could not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Issuer's business, financial condition or prospects or on the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Issuer.

         (ii)  To its knowledge, the Issuer has avoided every condition, and has not performed any act, the occurrence of which would result in the Issuer's loss of any right granted under any license, distribution or other agreement, the loss of which could have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Issuer's business, financial condition or prospects or on the transactions contemplated hereby.

        (j)    Agreements; Action.

          (i)  Except for the Stock Purchase Agreements and the Shareholders' Rights Agreement, there are no agreements, understandings or proposed transactions between the Issuer and any of its officers, directors or affiliates, or any affiliate thereof (including any entity in which any such officer, director or affiliate has an ownership interest).

         (ii)  With the exception of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or as previously disclosed in the HP Stock Purchase Agreement, there are no material agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts or proposed transactions to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound which involve (i) obligations of, or payments to the Issuer in excess of, $100,000, or (ii) the license of any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right to or from the Issuer. A true and complete copy of each agreement listed on the Schedule of Exceptions (other than agreements identified as United States government contracts, and agreements which, in the opinion of the Issuer, if disclosed, would breach an obligation of confidentiality) is attached thereto.

        (iii)  With the exception of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or as previously disclosed in the HP Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer has not (w) declared or paid any dividends, or authorized or made any distribution upon or with respect to any class or series of its capital stock, (x) incurred any indebtedness for money borrowed or incurred any other liabilities individually in excess of $100,000, (y) made any loans or advances to any person, other than ordinary advances for travel expenses or loans for stock purchases exceeding $10,000, or (z) sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its assets or rights, other than the sale of its inventory in the ordinary course of business.

        (iv)  The Issuer is not a party to and is not bound by any contract, agreement or instrument, or subject to any restriction under its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, which materially adversely affects its business as now conducted or as proposed to be conducted in the Business Plan, its properties or its financial condition or prospects.

        (k)    Disclosure.    The Issuer has fully provided the Purchaser with all the information which the Purchaser has requested for deciding whether to purchase the Notes and all information which the Issuer believes is reasonably necessary to enable the Purchaser to make such decision. Neither

11

this Agreement nor any other statements or certificates made or delivered in connection herewith contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein not misleading.

        (l)    Business Plan.    The Business Plan has been prepared in good faith by the Issuer and, when taken together with information disclosed on the Schedule of Exceptions, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact nor does it omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made in the Business Plan not misleading, when taken together with all other statements contained in the Business Plan, except that with respect to projections contained in the Business Plan, the Issuer represents only that such projections were prepared in good faith and that the Issuer reasonably believes there is a reasonable basis for such projections based on the assumptions contained in the Business Plan.

        (m)    Registration Rights.    Since January 27, 1998, the Issuer has not granted or agreed to grant any registration rights, including piggyback rights, to any person or entity.

        (n)    Corporate Documents.    The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Issuer are in the form previously provided to the Purchaser.

        (o)    Title to Property and Assets.    The Issuer owns its property and assets free and clear of all Liens except such encumbrances and liens which arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair the Issuer's ownership or use of such property or assets. With respect to the property and assets it leases, the Issuer is in compliance with such leases and, to the best of its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold interest free of any Liens.

        (p)    Financial Statements.    The Issuer has delivered to the Purchaser its audited financial statements (balance sheet and profit and loss statement, statement of shareholders' equity and statement of cash flows) as of September 30, 1998 and for the year then ended and its unaudited financial statements (balance sheet and profit and loss statement) as of December 31, 1998 and for the month then ended (collectively the "Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements are complete and correct in all material respects and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, except for the failure of the unaudited Financial Statements to include the footnotes required by GAAP. The Financial Statements fairly set out and describe the financial condition and operating results of the Issuer as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein, subject, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not in the aggregate be material. Except as set forth in the Financial Statements, the Issuer has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to September 30, 1998 and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under GAAP to be reflected in the Financial Statements, which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Issuer. The Issuer maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP.

        (q)    Changes.    Since December 31, 1998, there has not been:

          (i)  any change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition or operating results of the Issuer from that reflected in the Financial Statements, except changes in the ordinary course of business which have not been, in the aggregate, materially adverse to the Issuer;

         (ii)  any damage, destruction or loss, whether or not covered by insurance, materially and adversely affecting the assets, properties, financial condition, operating results, prospects or business of the Issuer (as such business is presently conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted in the Business Plan);

12

        (iii)  any waiver by the Issuer of a valuable right or of a material debt owed to it;

        (iv)  any satisfaction or discharge of any Lien or payment of any obligation by the Issuer, except in the ordinary course of business or which is not material to the assets, properties, financial condition, operating results or business of the Issuer (as such business is presently conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted in the Business Plan);

         (v)  any material change or amendment to a material contract or arrangement by which the Issuer or any of its assets or properties is bound or subject;

        (vi)  any material change in any compensation arrangement or agreement with any employee; or

       (vii)  to the Issuer's knowledge, any other event or condition of any character which might materially and adversely affect the assets, properties, financial condition, operating results or business of the Issuer (as such business is presently conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted in the Business Plan).

        (r)    Employee Benefit Plans.    The Issuer does not have any Employee Benefit Plan as defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), except for the Issuer's 401(K) Plan.

        (s)    Tax Returns, Payments and Elections.    The Issuer has filed all tax returns and reports as required by law. These returns and reports are true and correct in all material respects. The Issuer has paid all taxes and other assessments due, except those contested by it in good faith which are listed in the Schedule of Exceptions. The provision for taxes of the Issuer as shown in the Financial Statements is adequate for taxes due or accrued as of the date thereof. The Issuer has not elected pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to be treated as a Subchapter S corporation or a collapsible corporation pursuant to Section 341(f) or Section 1362(a) of the Code, nor has it made any other elections pursuant to the Code (other than elections which relate solely to methods of accounting, depreciation or amortization) which would have a material effect on the Issuer, its financial condition, its business as presently conducted or as proposed to be conducted in the Business Plan or any of its properties or material assets.

        (t)    Insurance.    The Issuer has in full force and effect fire and casualty insurance policies, with extended coverage, sufficient in amount (subject to reasonable deductibles) to allow it to replace any of its properties that might be damaged or destroyed.

        (u)    Minute Books.    The minute books of the Issuer contain a complete summary of all meetings of directors and shareholders since the time of incorporation and reflect all transactions referred to in such minutes accurately in all material respects. A true and complete copy of the minute books has been made available to the Purchaser.

        (v)    Labor Agreements and Actions.    The Issuer is not bound by or subject to (and none of its assets or properties is bound by or subject to) any written or oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or arrangement with any labor union, and no labor union has requested or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, has sought to represent any of the employees, representatives or agents of the Issuer. There is no strike or other material labor dispute involving the Issuer pending, or to the knowledge of the Issuer threatened, nor is the Issuer aware of any labor organization activity involving its employees. The Issuer is not aware that any officer or key employee, or that any group of key employees, intends to terminate their employment with the Issuer, nor does the Issuer have a present intention to terminate the employment of any of the foregoing. The employment of each officer and employee of the Issuer is terminable at the will of the Issuer.

13

        (w)    Licenses.    The Issuer possesses from the appropriate agency, commission, board and government body and authority, whether state, local or federal, all licenses, permits, authorizations, approvals, franchises and other rights (collectively, "Licenses") which are necessary for it to engage in the business currently conducted by it as described in the Business Plan, except to the extent the failure to have any such License, individually or in the aggregate with the failure to possess any other Licenses, could not have a material adverse effect on the Issuer's business, financial condition or prospects.

        Section 5.2.    The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that:

        (a)    Authorization.    The Purchaser (i) is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of Delaware; and (ii) has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the purchase of the Note, and the performance of its obligations thereunder.

        (b)    Purchase Entirely for Own Account.    The Purchaser understands that the Notes, the shares of Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, have not been Registered under the Securities Act nor pursuant to the securities or blue sky laws of any State. The Purchaser is not acquiring any Note, or any shares of Preferred Stock of the Issuer issuable upon conversion of the Notes, or any Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        (c)    Disclosure of Information.    The Purchaser believes it has received (or, in connection with each transaction contemplated to be concluded on a Subsequent Closing, will receive) all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Notes, the shares of Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof. The Purchaser further represents that in making its investment decision to purchase the Notes, the shares of Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, it has conducted (or, in connection with each transaction contemplated to be concluded on a Subsequent Closing, will conduct) such investigation of the Issuer, including a review of the information set forth in the Business Plan and the projections contained therein, as it has deemed (or, in connection with each transaction contemplated to be concluded on a Subsequent Closing, then deems) reasonably necessary and has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Issuer regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes, the shares of Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Issuer in Section 5.1 of this Agreement or the right of the Purchaser to rely thereon.

        (d)    Investment Experience; Principal Place of Business.    The Purchaser is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Notes, the shares of Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof. The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of such term set forth in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act and has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Notes, the shares of Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof. The principal place of business of the Purchaser is the address set forth in Section 13.2 of this Agreement.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

COMPANY PROFILE

        Displaytech designs, manufactures, and markets products that are based on the use of proprietary FLC materials. The primary product focus is on high-resolution, full-color miniature electronic displays that are sold to OEMs. Uses for the images created on the Displaytech display panels are with very small form factor portable electronic devices AND large or very large projection devices. Examples of such uses include the viewing screens for laptop, palmtop, desktop, and wearable computers, wireless telephones, televisions, personal and conference room projectors, portable DVD viewers, digital cameras, and other high information content devices for business, medicine, entertainment, and the military.

        The actual display panels are the size of a computer chip. Images created on these chips are optically magnified or projected to create a large display with the size, resolution, and viewing performance comparable to a high quality desktop CRT monitor or television. Displaytech displays that are mounted into eyeglass frames provide portable, lightweight viewing. The same Displaytech displays, when used in a projection mode, provide compact, lightweight large screen viewing for conference room presentations or desktop computer monitor and television replacement.

        Displaytech's miniature FLC displays make mobile communication, computing and entertainment comfortable and easy. By providing wide fields of view, high resolution, brilliant color clarity, minimum power consumption, high brightness and low cost volume production, Displaytech display panels allow full motion video, graphics, and text to be comfortably viewed and affordably priced.

COMPANY HISTORY AND BACKGROUND

        Displaytech was incorporated in 1984 with headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. The corporate goal was to commercialize the fundamental inventions and discoveries of highspeed, surface stabilized FLCs. Displaytech's founders, faculty members in physics and chemistry at the University of Colorado, hold the pioneer patents for FLCs and helped develop subsequent related patents.

        During its first ten years in business, Displaytech developed core technical competence in materials, device design, and device fabrication. During that period, Displaytech was a major participant in the US Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. It won more than $12 million in research and development contracts and grants from NASA, the US Department of Commerce, the US Department of Defense, the US National Science Foundation and the US Department of Health and Human Services. These projects have provided Displaytech with an extensive body of knowledge and a powerful patent position in FLC technology and its applications.

        In 1994, Displaytech began its transition from research and core technology development to product manufacturing and sales. The company won a $1.7 million Advanced Technology Program (ATP) award from the Department of Commerce. This funding was specifically targeted to develop mass production techniques and improved FLC materials for display products. Following the ATP award, Displaytech received private capital and crossed the threshold to commercialization.

        In December 1996, the company moved into its first full-scale production facility. This facility has 50,000 square feet and is located in Longmont, Colorado, which is just northeast of Boulder and 30 miles north of Denver. This facility, which is large enough to produce over 1,000,000 displays per month, also houses the company headquarters. Initially, the company utilized about half of the plant space. The balance of the floor space was occupied during the winter of 1997-98.

        During the winter of 1997-98 the company also:

•

Received its first major multi-year, multi-million dollar order from a multi-billion dollar Asian electronics manufacturer.

4

•

Completed an equity participation agreement and expanded its already strong product and business development alliance with a Fortune 50 electronics firm.

SALES STRUCTURE

        Displaytech sells it products as components or subsystems through OEM relationships. In North America, the company sells to and supports customers directly through its own staff. Internationally, Displaytech works with channel partners (distributors and representatives) to sell and support customers. In addition, the company has a branch office in Seoul that services the Korean market and supports sales efforts in other parts of Asia.

Manufacturing Approach

        Displaytech has recently revised its manufacturing plan to leverage established high volume liquid crystal device capacity at an offshore location. Selection of this manufacturing resource was based on a number of critical factors including:

1)

experienced small parts handling capability

2)

leverage off existing mass production capacity

3)

excellent facilities

4)

proven competence in final device assembly and quality programs

        In this way, the company will continue to develop essential, application-specific ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) materials in-house, while outsourcing more conventional device production.

        Today, Displaytech is now in pilot production at its 50,000 square foot facility in Longmont, Colorado. Recently, an outsource agreement was reached with an experienced Japanese, high volume precision parts manufacturer, Miyota Co., Ltd., located in Nagano. This combination of in-house and contract manufacturing capacity will meet current customer requirements through 2001 and leave room to add several additional strategic accounts in targeted consumer electronics markets.

        Miyota is now actively installing back-end capacity to serve as Displaytech's source later in calendar 1999. Current plans anticipate Miyota's installation of front-, middle, and back-end process lines for high volume applications during calendar year 2000.

        Displaytech's manufacturing approach focuses investments on internal process development, equipment, and facilities in areas where its proprietary materials and methods offer unique added value. In other areas, the company uses outsourcing and contract manufacturing.

        Displaytech's operations management is designed to efficiently coordinate and control suppliers, internal operations, and contract manufacturers in a high volume environment. Statistical process control methods are being refined to minimize variation and maintain target yields. The company's basic manufacturing flow for integrated circuit displays (ICDs) combines outsourced CMOS wafer fabrication, internal FLC production, a combination of internal and external display cell fabrication, and outsourced integrated circuit back-end processing.

        If a customer orders a complete system rather than a stand alone display panel, final assembly (which is performed in-house, as well as by a contract manufacturer) integrates the ICD with viewing optics, illumination, precision mechanics and electronics. Final test and quality assurance remain in-house Displaytech responsibilities. The company has, and will maintain a comprehensive pilot production line entirely in-house (except CMOS fabrication) to provide prototype capacity, help develop process improvements, and better monitor the efficiency of the outsourced suppliers and contract manufacturers.

TECHNOLOGY

        Displaytech's miniature displays take advantage of microsecond switching speeds of patented ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) materials and technology. FLC materials switch fast enough to enable field sequential color techniques to operate flicker-free at full frame video rates of 60 Hz and higher.

        The FLC is on an integrated circuit and the integrated circuit controls the FLC on a pixel by pixel basis which in turn generates a reflection so that light bounces off and optics form an image of pixels for viewing.

        Taking advantage of established CMOS fabrication technology, Displaytech panels are reflective, thereby covering the underlying circuitry. Pixels are very small (~12 x12 mm), as are the interpixel gaps (~1 mm). This combination of closely packed, small pixels ensures a display with smooth continuous images—avoiding the common black matrix or "screen door" effect. The resulting high fill factor (or aperture ratio) eliminates pixelation effects, providing an excellent viewing experience.

        Minimizing pixel geometry also reduces cost in several important ways. First, display panel costs are greatly influenced by the cost of the reflective CMOS backplane. Smaller display backplanes allow more dice to be included on a single wafer. Additionally, smaller die size results in higher production yields, another cost advantage.

FERROELECTRIC LIQUID CRYSTALS (FLCs)

        In 1985, Displaytech developed the first commercial room temperature FLC mixture, with an 18°C wide FLC temperature range. This development resulted in a flurry of worldwide research activity, which catalyzed the formation of the basis of FLC materials and devices, as we know it today.

        FLC materials used in all Displaytech panels are responsible for all electro-optical properties, in particular the contrast, luminous efficiency (or throughput), switching speed (which determines the grayscale depth), and temperature range.

        The dramatic progress that Displaytech has achieved after years of intensive research (1,500 new compounds and 4,000 mixtures) gives the company the fastest switching, broadest temperature range FLC mixtures in the world. An FLC temperature range has been achieved from -40°C to +83°C. This range allows extremely durable storage temperatures and remarkably wide operating temperatures that meet specifications for business, consumer, and military applications. Fast switching speeds allow for full 24-bit color depth (16.7 million colors) in displays resulting in photo-realistic quality at video speeds.

        The ability to quickly formulate and optimize new FLC material performance to a particular application—whether it be a hand-held miniature display or a projection display, has given Displaytech a unique advantage over its competition: the ability to respond to device/materials opportunities and achieve performance improvement goals rapidly and efficiently.

        Displaytech's state-of-the-art analytical lab gives the company reliable quality control in both single compounds and the complex FLC mixtures developed for use in high-volume, business products. Displaytech is the only company in the world that has developed an automatic liquid crystal property tester resulting in an increase in our productivity over a hundred-fold. The current facility is designed to have FLC production capacity of up to one million displays a month.

        With the strength of its patents, a wealth of proprietary technology in FLC materials synthesis and formulation, and a strong, well-directed R&D effort—Displaytech is in excellent position to retain its market leadership.

BACKPLANE TECHNOLOGY

        The fast switching speed of Displaytech's proprietary liquid crystal materials allows them to be driven with lower voltages than competing technologies. This advantage permits the use of standard silicon backplanes, made in standard CMOS process technologies, running at standard voltages (3.3 and 5.0 V). Displaytech plans to ride the wave of higher CMOS densities and lower costs by increasing the amount of circuitry included in the display chips, increasing the aperture ratio by making the interpixel gaps smaller, and producing high resolution devices on small silicon die. A major focus of our in-house materials chemistry group is the development of materials that have fast switching speeds at lower voltages. This continuing development will allow Displaytech to continue to use standard CMOS processes as the semiconductor industry moves to lower voltages—from 5.0 down to 1.8 V over the next few years.

        The Displaytech display panel backplane consists of a custom-designed silicon memory chip similar to a standard SRAM or DRAM device. Each bit of the memory is connected to a shiny metal pad on the surface of the chip, which acts as both a mirror and an electrode for the liquid crystal above it. (Making this metal as shiny as possible is the only non-standard processing step in the production of the silicon wafers). The overlying FLC is switched between two optical states, depending on whether the memory bit is a logical 0 or 1. In one state, the FLC rotates the plane of incoming polarized light, while in the other state it does not. External polarizers cause the light either to exit the optical system and be viewed as a bright pixel, or be absorbed in the polarizer and be seen as a dark pixel. The light is not appreciably absorbed by the FLC itself, making high light-intensity projection applications possible.

        An important feature of Displaytech's technology is that the display is an entirely digital device. Conversion to and from analog signals is never required, allowing the sharpest possible pictures to be produced. This becomes especially important at higher resolutions, where traditional high bandwidth analog signals are difficult to handle.

        Over the past two years, Displaytech has increased the sophistication of the circuitry surrounding the active display area of our chips. Our most recent projection TV display panel includes several different operating modes, such as reversing the up/down and left/right scan directions, which simplifies the optical and mechanical design of end-user systems. We also employ industry standard JTAG circuitry to allow the electrical operation of each device to be probed and tested at the wafer level before any displays are built.

        We expect this trend toward increased integration to continue even further. In the near future, we plan to integrate control functions into the display panel, allowing minimum component count systems to be built. Since Displaytech's manufacturing process already requires some additional silicon area outside the active area, we can populate this region of silicon with our own control functions or third-party cores with very little impact on the cost of the silicon. This extra silicon region provides a major benefit to our customers, by enabling them to add value to our design and differentiate their products by including their own custom circuitry on our device. Although we originally used schematic based tools to design our chips, we are now working in a high-level language synthesis environment which, among other benefits, is also more compatible with other third-party IP core vendors.

        For panels larger than VGA (640 × 480), we are developing a standard interface which will make changes to the control electronics trivial as our customers move up to XGA (1024 × 768), SXGA (1280 × 1024), UXGA (1600 × 1200) and beyond.

PRODUCTS

INTRODUCTION

        Displaytech's primary product focus is on full-color, high-resolution miniature display panels for projected and magnified imaging applications. Both systems take advantage of the benefits of virtual displays.

        In traditional direct view display systems like a standard TV set, the picture viewed by the user is the same size as the picture on the display panel. In projection systems, the picture viewed by the user is significantly larger than the original image. This is also true of a virtual display system. However, in a virtual display, the display panel is significantly smaller (typically less than 1-inch) and less expensive than either of the other systems. Additionally, the image can be projected or magnified to almost any size, depending on the type of optics used.

        In many applications, especially those requiring pocket-sized portability, a direct view display is a noteworthy disadvantage. For example, miniaturization of a laptop computer is limited by its useful screen size. Here, a virtual display could easily include the rich color, high resolution, and flicker-free video motion we expect from a cathode ray tube (CRT). All of these features are included in our virtual display engine, in a package smaller than a two-inch cube.

        All Displaytech products use proprietary FLC materials and manufacturing techniques designed to optimize performance while minimizing cost.

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

Full Color on Every Pixel

        LightCaster™ miniature displays are the first to offer both high resolution and full color on every pixel, implementing sequential color techniques. Sequential color means that each pixel on the display is illuminated with the proper mix of red, green, and blue colors in fast enough succession for the human eye to fuse the sequence into a single, smooth color picture. Sequential color requires the fast (microsecond) switching speed of FLC materials.

        Other active matrix liquid crystals are made with slower nematic liquid crystals (NLCs). These more conventional AMLCDs employ triads of sub-pixels, which spatially separate red, green, and blue sub-pixels. This difference is especially noticeable when displays are physically small. LightCaster technology creates a much smoother (less grainy) color image than triad displays, even at the same resolution. With one third fewer pixels, our LightCaster display panels can also be made smaller, permitting a greater degree of product miniaturization and inherently lower production costs.

High Resolution

        With LightCaster displays, pixel size and display resolutions are determined by the design of the VLSI backplane. For this reason, Displaytech can offer significant flexibility in OEM product specifications. For the cost of a new backplane design and a CMOS production run, displays can be produced with customer-specified resolution and pixel pitch, without significantly altering the downstream production process.

        VLSI backplanes are fabricated for high resolutions with extremely small pixels. Displaytech has successfully demonstrated pixels as small as 5.7 microns (4500 dpi), and has demonstrated fully operational SXGA (1280 × 1024) panels with 7.6-micron pixels (3300 dpi). Competing liquid crystal technologies use much thicker LC layers, causing lateral electric field cross talk, even with much larger pixels. This cross-talk problem limits usable small panel resolution.

8

Production Ease/Competitive Cost

        Production costs of miniature displays are dominated by the cost of the active matrix backplane. Our LightCaster Display backplane is an integrated circuit produced using standard CMOS processing in a commercial foundry. By itself, this fact assures us of lower unit and capital costs, when compared to the competition. Additionally, the small die size further increases this advantage.

        Integrated circuit costs rise dramatically as chip size increases, for very understandable reasons. First, chips are produced on wafers whose cost is independent of the number or type of chips it carries. Physically smaller integrated circuits allow more chips to fit on an individual wafer, lowering the unit cost (per chip).

        Second, not all chips on a wafer are usable. Yields are always less than 100% due to randomly distributed defects. Statistically, smaller chips lower the probability that a particular chip will contain a defect. In this way, smaller chips increase yield factors and ultimately reduce unit costs.

        Displaytech has developed a scalable manufacturing process for miniature display production. As customers move from Developer Kits to prototype and pre-production runs, Displaytech can continue to meet increasing demands. The process is then scaled to meet volume production requirements.

Miniaturization

        Market demand is driving consumer product manufacturers to smaller form factors for increased portability and reduced cost. For Displaytech, smaller VLSI backplanes lower production costs. This combination of low cost and small size is key to consumer products for mobile communications, computing, and photography.

        LightCaster technology enables physically small products to include visually large displays. For product designers, Displaytech Display Engine products are virtual display components with the potential (depending on the customer application) for out-of-the-box functionality.

Durability

        By itself, miniaturization does not ensure portability. Portable products must:

•

be resistant to shock



•

operate over a broad temperature range



•

enable battery powered operation



•

have long operational lifetimes.

        Displaytech's integrated materials and device design approach ensures the necessary durability.

Speed

        The importance of display speed becomes apparent to consumers of display products only when displays under-perform. CRT flicker, unreadable text on miniature AMLCDs, and cursors that submarine when moved rapidly are all familiar display artifacts which indicate insufficient response time. Displaytech FLC-based display products avoid these common problems with proprietary materials, device designs, and drive algorithms.

MARKET ANALYSIS

THE DISPLAY MARKET

Introduction

        The display market can be classified by technology, application, viewing configuration, or information content. Since Displaytech's products, and hence its targeted markets, deal with high information content, we first screen for information content. Once low information content applications like LEDs and vacuum fluorescent displays (wristwatches and simple calculators, for example) have been eliminated from the analysis, the focus is on the viewing configuration to classify the variety of applications in the display market.

        The three standard viewing configurations for displays are direct, virtual, and projected. Direct view means that the size of the image produced by the display is the same size as the image viewed by the user. Transmissive LCDs have long dominated the flat panel display (FPD) market place with direct view products. Most CRTs are direct view.

        A virtual view display is essentially a display engine that produces an image less than 1-inch in size and then enlarges it to any size required by the application. Virtual view displays can be magnified or projected. Displaytech's LightCaster VGA Display Engine is an example of a magnified virtual display.

        In projection configurations, the use of lenses allows the size of the image to be re-sized before being viewed. A projection system can be made with the screen between the projector and viewer (rear projection) or with the projector between the screen and the viewer (front projection). Rear projection is most popular for home theatre applications while front projection is most popular for business presentation applications.

Market Size

        The overall worldwide display market (i.e., CRT and FPD) accounted for $34.8 billion in revenue in 1997. It is projected that over 84.2 million CRT displays were sold last year with revenues of $20.9 billion.(1) Flat panel displays accounted for $13.9 billion in revenue in 1997.(2) Revenues are forecasted to reach $31.6 billion by the year 2003. The growth of CRT displays will be slower and revenues are forecasted $28.8 billion in 2003.(3)

Market Trends

Internet—The explosive growth of the Internet and Intranets is accelerating the convergence of computing and communications and stimulating a new generation of information devices. As such products incorporate personal computing features, they require displays capable of satisfying the expectations of personal computer users (e.g., text, e-mail, financial reports, graphic and video images, music, sound, and animation).

Mobility—The US workforce is increasingly mobile. Xxxxxxxxx Research estimates that over 48 million workers(4) (or 40% of the workforce) are traveling at any given time. With portable computing devices becoming smaller and the demand for richer content increasing, interest in miniature magnified displays is increasing. Interest is particularly high for those displays that are designed to be small virtual devices capable of delivering the same (or better) clarity, resolution, and color depth that users have come to expect from their desktop systems. Displaytech is able to provide

12

this type of display and meet the requirements of OEM manufacturers as they look to design for flexibility and innovation.

(4)

Quoted in Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, "Introduction Market Drivers."

Improvements to Existing Display Products—The introduction of Advanced Television (ATV, or High Definition Television [HDTV]) and the Digital Versatile Disk (DVD) signals the public introduction of digital broadcasting. The industry's need for high definition (i.e., resolution) and different aspect ratios provides an opportunity for the FPD industry to define the standard for digital displays. As this technology improves and prices decline, the adoption of flat panel monitors should increase dramatically. The projection market also provides an excellent opportunity to overturn the dominance of the CRT display. With the introduction of LCD- and chip-based portable projection displays, the portable projector market has grown significantly.

THE MAGNIFIED VIEW MARKET

Introduction

        Recently, there has been a renewed and increased interest in miniature, magnified displays. Largely, this is a result of advances in miniature display technology, an increase in bandwidth and data transmission capabilities, the decrease in the size of electronic products, and the integration of multi-functional applications into mobile products. "Smart" telephones transmit and receive not only voice data but also information from the computer, faxes from the office, or e-mail. Small electronic address books have grown to become scaled down versions of Windows 95™ (e.g., Windows CE™) that allow the user to word process, work on a spreadsheet, receive faxes or e-mail, or surf the web. Even cameras have gone digital and now allow the photographer to preview a picture or view the actual picture prior to "exposure."

        These changes, along with rising consumer expectations of product functionality, are pushing manufacturers to re-evaluate their requirements for displays. Interest is particularly high for virtual displays that are able to deliver the same (or better) clarity, resolution, and color depth that users have come to expect from their desktop systems. Up until now, most miniature display manufacturers have concentrated on one-eighth or one-quarter VGA black and white devices. However, as OEM manufacturers indicate greater interest in miniature displays and their ability to provide high information content, vendors are moving towards integrating displays that have full color VGA capability.

Market Trends for Miniature Imaging Devices

•

System components have gotten smaller leading to smaller electronic devices



•

Product size and form factor are now constrained by the display size



•

Direct view displays consume a major portion of a product's power budget(5)



•

Present display size limits the information content on a single screen



•

Availability of the contents of the web, including text and graphics



•

Expanding digital bandwidth of worldwide cellular networks



•

Demand pull of the mobile work force

Market Segments

        The primary market segments for magnified displays are:

"Smart" Telephones—are digital telephones that incorporate at least one other type of information content (e.g., e-mail, faxes, Internet use, etc.) beyond voice. The digital telephone market in the US is still relatively new and the infrastructure is not complete. However, given the popularity of digital "smart" telephones in Europe (estimated 1998 revenues = $604 M vs. $269 M in the US(6)), it is forecasted that the US market will grow significantly over the next 5 years (1997-2001: 77.8% CAGR forecasted(2)).

Digital Cameras—have been available for a number of years; mainly concentrated at the high-end of the photography market. In the last 12-18 months, this market has grown rapidly (estimated sales quadrupled between 1995 and 1996 and are expected to double in 1997(7)) and has moved down the price curve to incorporate sub-$500 offerings.

Digital Camcorders—This is the most mature market segment in terms of using small displays. Most camcorders today have a viewfinder feature. The viewfinder displays are generally 2-5" in both monochrome and color. They are direct view displays primarily based on TFT-LCDs.

Handheld PCs—are becoming increasingly sophisticated as new operating systems evolve and become implemented (e.g., Windows CE and PalmPilot Grafitti). Some systems support e-mail retrieval, fax capability, and web browsing. The Windows CE operating system now supports color. Sharp, which uses a proprietary OS introduced the first color PDA in Japan in 1997; HP introduced its first color HPC in January 1998.

Medical—applications primarily involve surgical instruments like endoscopes. This segment is less price-sensitive than others, but not particularly large. Color displays, with resolutions above SVGA, are required.

Laptop Computers—represent the largest potential segment for miniature magnified displays (over 14M units were forecasted to ship in 1997(8)). For any miniature display to penetrate this market, it must be capable of delivering the same (or better) clarity, resolution, and color depth that users have come to expect from their desktop systems.

(8)

Data extrapolated from: Frost and Xxxxxxxx: 1995; DataQuest 6/97

Wearable Computers—combine the functionality of laptop computers with the portability required of the new mobile products. Many of these products have neither a full-size display screen nor a keyboard. Rather, they use voice recognition software for data input and a monocular miniature magnified display for data output. The miniature monocular display allows an individual to use the wearable computer as a reference resource and still work within their particular function.

Primary Target Markets

        Based on the potential market forecasts within these segments, Displaytech will target the "smart" telephone, digital camera, wearable computer, handheld computer, and laptop computer segments. The camcorder viewfinder market is small (approximately 500,000 units forecasted), maturing, dominated by the Japanese, and low priced ($30/display). The industrial/medical instrumentation market is also small and segmented. It would be quite difficult to get sufficient volume business from any one supplier.

THE PROJECTION MARKET

Introduction

        The worldwide market for all types of projection devices is significantly larger and more mature than the magnified display marketplace. In 1997, 1.56 million projectors were sold for $6.4 billion (for an average price per unit of $4,103). Sales are forecasted to increase to 3.8 million units and $11.2 billion in 2004(9) (for an average price per unit of $2947). The projection market is presently dominated by the rear CRT projection systems but major growth is occurring in the front- and rear-LCD and chip-based projector market. The business segment, particularly in the portable and ultra-portable projector area, is the fastest growing segment in this market. Stanford Resources estimates that this part of the business segment will grow to 1 million units (or 26% of total projector unit sales) by 2004.(10)

Projection Market Trends

•

The mobile workforce demand for portable projectors has helped to decrease the price and weight of LCD projectors while increasing the product features (especially brightness and resolution).



•

CRT-based projectors continue to dominate the consumer rear projection market.



•

VGA resolution is no longer sufficient (except for its video capability). XGA is the chosen resolution in the short-term market.



•

Data-only projectors are being surpassed by video, or multimedia projectors.



•

A shakeout is expected in the market as too many vendors (over 65) chase too few customers. The leading CRT-projector vendors are Sony, Barco, Electrohome, and NEC. The leading front LCD projector vendors are Sharp, In Focus, and Proxima; with Epson leading in the XGA segment.



•

The Japanese continue to focus on LCD- and chip-based portable projectors while American manufacturers focus on the Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology of Texas Instruments. Presently 16 vendors (including a non-American vendor, Sony) have, or are developing projectors based on this technology.



•

Distribution channels, particularly for the small portables, are moving away from audio-visual dealers and towards computer distributors and dealers.

Market Segments

        The projection market is generally divided into a Business Segment and a Consumer Segment. The consumer segment focuses on the "big screen television" market and is predominately rear CRT projection-based. Stanford Resources projects that CRTs will dominate this portion of the market with over an 85% market share through 2002(11). Growth in the business segment of the projector market is driven by the need of mobile workers to make presentations while traveling. The business segment is expected to grow at 31% annually through 2004.

Consumer Projection Market

        The consumer segment of the projection market in the United States is growing at approximately 25% annually. The primary driving force behind this growth rate is sales of home theatre applications. The prices for home theater products have dropped significantly in the United States (i.e., below $2000) over the past two years while the prices in the rest of the world are still proportionately high. CRT-based systems dominate this market despite their large size and weight. In part, this is an indication of market maturity and the relative competitive pricing and, in part, it is a result of the high price, and until recently, the lower quality, of flat panel displays. With the arrival of ATV (or HDTV), and the subsequent increase in costs to make CRT projection units, it is anticipated that the price differential between these two technologies will decrease.

        The companies that are trying to compete in the FPD market along with some of their key characteristics are listed in the following chart:

Resolutions—VGA-640 × 480 pixels; SVGA-800 × 600 pixels; XGA-1024 × 768 pixels; SXGA-1280 × 1024 pixels.

(2)

Color method—Sequential color creates full color on each pixel, giving a clear image. Color triads use three pixels (one red, one green, one blue) to make one color, producing a grainy image.

20

NLC-ON-SI

        In this technology, each pixel stores analog voltage to provide grayscale using twisted nematic LC. The pixel circuits are made in silicon with integrated row and column drivers.

Colorado MicroDisplay (CMD)—CMD has developer kits out in the field. Their developer kit is SVGA resolution and is small with low power consumption. CMD's materials run at 9 volts, which is not compatible with the standard 3.3 volt CMOS process, resulting in more difficult and more expensive production. They do no in-house manufacturing, giving them limited control over production schedule and quantity.

Spatialight—Spatialight is a small company that has no commercial product to date. Their plan is to produce 1024 X 768 reflective SLMs targeted to various applications.

IBM—IBM has recently entered the miniature display market with SXGA and UXGA panels for projection applications. They are making and selling very expensive ($20K) three panel projectors and three panel projection display engines to OEMs that cost around $6,300. The SXGA panel has a 1.3" diagonal with a 20-mm pixel pitch, and the UXGA panel has a 1.3" diagonal with 15.5 mm pixel pitch.

S-Vision—S-Vision is developing an XGA projector. They also plan to make display components targeted to projection markets which would have them trying to compete with some of their potential customers. They have an SVGA developer kit for OEM evaluation.

MicroDisplay—In November 1997 MicroDisplay announced a plan to manufacture 200,000 miniature reflective LCD screens in 1998. They plan to sell their product into portable applications (magnified and projection). Their projection display will be initially priced at $3,000.

PDLC

        PDLC design encapsulates drops of LC in plastic polymer material, which is coated onto glass and bonded to a mirrored semiconductor substrate. The randomly oriented LC capsules scatter incident light out of the image or transmit it into the image. The pixel circuits are made in Si.

Raychem—Siliscape is buying Raychem's PDLC displays for their Optiscape™ display engine, Siliscape is positioning itself as having the "widest field of view" and the "highest image clarity" in the industry. They plan to have volume delivery in mid-1998, however, we understand that PDLCs are currently only being produced at the engineering sample level. Raychem displays suffer from a low contrast ratio (40:1).

National Semiconductor—In August 1997 National Semiconductor announced a partnership with Three-Five Systems to make miniature displays. They plan to manufacture SVGA and SXGA resolutions on a custom basis. Three-Five is the largest LCD manufacturer in North America. They expect to begin volume production in the second half of 1998. National and Three-Five are exclusive suppliers to each other for the products covered by this agreement.

DMD

        This is a micro electromechanical system (MEMs) where pixels are active-matrix MEM mirrors that store digital voltage and cause the mirror to tilt one way or another. One tilt reflects incident light into the image, while the other tilt reflects it out of the image. Fast switching speed gives true sequential color and grayscale. The pixel circuits and mirrors are made in silicon with integrated row and column drivers.

Texas Instruments—TI is making single-, two-, and three-panel display engines for large- area projection applications (VGA and SVGA). Customers include In Focus, ASK, Davis, Liesegang, n-View, Proxima, AmPro, Digital Projection, Electrohome, Sony, Synelec, Projectavision and Vidikron.

21

TI is a recognized brand with an established distribution system. They have high switching speeds and the capability to use unpolarized light. However, manufacturing the DMD is challenging—fabrication requires 18 mask steps, and the die size is large which makes the cost of the device high. The device is intrinsically large due to its complex optical system. SXGA and higher resolutions are very hard to make, and size will increase as resolution increases. The DMD micro-mirrors only tilt +10 to -10 degrees, creating a limited acceptance angle for light.

GLV

        Another micro-electro-mechanical system, this technology is an active-matrix micro-mechanical diffraction grating. Each pixel stores digital voltage which causes its micro-grating to either reflect incident light into the image or to diffract it out of the image. High switching speed gives true sequential color and grayscale, and pixel circuits are made in silicon with integrated row and column drivers.

Silicon Light Machines (SLM)—Originally called Echelle, Inc., SLM was founded in 1994. They have no commercial product to date. In the summer of 1997, SLM laid off about a third of its staff in a redirection of its effort to bring its GLV technology to market.

a-SI TFT-LCD

        In this AMLCD technology, each pixel stores analog voltage to provide grayscale using twisted nematic (TN) LC. It is necessary to use color triads with color filter plate and black matrix. The row and column drivers are separate.

Hitachi—Hitachi makes a high cost/high priced 1" VGA monochrome LCD and a 1" VGA color LCD. Other weaknesses include high power consumption and large circuit size.

POLY-SI TFT-LCD

        Like in a-Si TFT LCD each pixel stores analog voltage to provide grayscale using twisted nematic LC and color triads with color filter plate and black matrix are necessary. Poly-Silicon technology improves amorphous silicon by enabling integrated row and column drivers. The general advantages and disadvantages of poly-Si TFT LCD are the same as for a-Si TFT LCD except poly-Si TFT enables the use of integrated drivers.

Sarif—-Sarif's product plans include a 0.6" VGA panel that will be targeted toward the personal viewer market and 1.3" SVGA & 1.7" SXGA panels targeted toward the projector market. However, they have low fill factor which causes high-resolution panels to be large, low light and power efficiency and the necessary use of triads.

Sony—Sony has several display products on the market. They manufacture a variety of panels from sub-VGA resolutions to XGA. They have several advantages: name recognition, proven manufacturing for their technology, an established distribution system and market penetration in projection. However, their fill factor is low along with their light and power efficiencies.

Epson—Epson's advantages and disadvantages are very similar to Sony's. They have low fill factor and low light and power efficiency. Epson also makes their own projector—making it difficult to remain a supplier to other OEMs in the projection display market.

X-SI TFT-LCD

        In x-Si technology, each pixel stores analog voltage to provide grayscale using twisted nematic LC. The pixel circuits are made in silicon, then peeled off and transferred to glass to be transmissive. This technology is capable of sequential color and has integrated row and column drivers. It is differentiated

22

from a-Si and poly-Si because it doesn't need color triads (it does sequential color) and has no black matrix. X-Si is also capable of lower power consumption.

Kopin—Kopin has announced development deals with companies like Motorola, Siemens, and Fuji Film Micro Devices. Their focus is on producing small, dense displays with the low pixel cost. They are making a ¹/4 VGA device, which has a low power requirement and small size. ¹/4 VGA is not an acceptable resolution for most applications. They have problems in color with blue light—silicon absorbs blue light, so the manufacturing trade-off is between yield and color production. Thin silicon increases the risk of breakage, and thick silicon increases blue light absorption. At optional operating temperatures, slow NLCs are barely capable of the 180 Hz switching speeds necessary for color sequencing. As temperature falls, Kopin's liquid crystals slow down, causing flicker and blur. They have the same problems with low aperture ratio as Hitachi. Kopin's manufacturing process is proprietary and outsourced to Unipac in Taiwan, giving limited control over production schedules and quality.

AMEL

        This technology consists of a phosphor stack deposited on top of a VLSI chip. Disadvantages to using AMEL include Lambertian emission hard to magnify efficiently; high cost; unproven manufacturing; limited color gamut; needs high voltage.

Planar—In September of 1997 Planar announced their plan to acquire Xxxxxxxx Industries, a LCD manufacturer. This makes Planar the largest independent FPD supplier in the US. It gives them more of an edge in LCDs, which have been growing at faster rates than their AMEL product. Planar also has an agreement with dpiX (a Xerox company) to jointly develop, manufacture and sell AMLCDs into military applications. Planar's color miniature display product is a 0.75" VGA display with poor image quality. The AMEL

        display produces light that is weak in blue, giving a yellow-tinged display. This display requires high voltage to operate. The voltage problem is proven by the weakness in blue light since blue phosphors are the most voltage sensitive. The RGB color filter over the AMEL makes the display dim and adds to its cost and complexity. The power required by the AMEL-RGB display is very high (>4 xxxxx).

FED

        FED is an active matrix of CRTs in which each pixel stores analog voltage that controls the electron current to the pixel's phosphor, causing it to emit light. It uses color triads for color generation. The pixel circuits are fabricated in silicon with row and column drivers. Disadvantages include: Lambertian emission hard to magnify efficiently; poor pixel brightness uniformity; high voltage FEDs have problems with flashover, while low voltage FEDs have problems with fast phosphor burn-in; volt drivers are large, impacting miniaturization.

Micron Display Technology—Micron makes the most advanced miniature FED display in the industry. It is only suitable for magnified applications. They have a relatively wide operating temperature range (-30 to +80 C). However, the technology limits the minimum pixel size, making high resolution, small devices unlikely. In small displays, pixel uniformity problems have produced grainy images. This problem is exacerbated by the use of color triads. As with AMEL, color production is voltage- dependent making blue a problem. The company pulled back a private placement offering of stock of several million dollars in September 1997. Instead, they have been reabsorbed as a division of their parent company, Micron Technology Inc. In an effort to expand their development program into the volume computer market, they are focusing much of their resources on large FEDs (12" and 17"). Their key customers are military.

        In LED technology, there is a single column of LEDs, one for each display row. The LEDs are modulated in brightness while being electro-mechanically scanned to provide a 2-D image. Disadvantages include low resolution; low grayscale and color capability; low information content; bulky packaging; row and column drivers' separate, vibration.

Reflection Technology—Reflection's scanned linear array technology produces an odd-looking display that is typically red-on-black. They announced a full-color VGA product in September 1996, however, it hasn't been seen in the market. The technology is inherently large and only suitable for magnified applications. It is sometimes considered for head-mounted products; however, the unit tends to vibrate (due to the vibrating mirror). The SLA technology is used in Reflection's FaxView personal fax reader and was used in Nintendo's 3-D portable game system, Virtual Boy, which was unsuccessful in the marketplace. The company announced a manufacturing agreement with Omron Corporation in January 1998. Omron Corporation specializes in automated manufacturing and is headquartered in Kyoto, Japan.

Motorola—Motorola's ¹/8-VGA monochrome LED is a weak product with a substantial manufacturing challenge. Neither color nor higher resolution is expected in the near future. However, in December 1997 Motorola announced the development of an LCD-based VirtuoVue module using Kopin's CyberDisplay technology. The deal combines Motorola's semiconductor technology and optical units with Kopin's ¹/4 VGA LCDs. They expect the first product from a third party to hit the market mid-1998 and that volume production will begin in 1999. Plans are to offer their LED product to industrial applications in larger sizes (4-8"). They are not exclusively committed to Kopin as a LCD supplier and are open to other development deals.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

        Displaytech has a substantial body of intellectual property, which provides a distinctive and powerful position with respect to competitors making miniature display products. The company has a license to the family of pioneer FLC device patents that covers the use of ferroelectric liquid crystals in all practical electro-optic devices. The company also has 24 allowed or issued patents and 23 pending patents of its own, some of which cover the liquid crystal materials used in its products, and others of which cover the essential features of reflective, color-sequential display systems. In addition, the company maintains its manufacturing processes as trade secrets. Finally, the company has an agreement with the University of Colorado that gives it exclusive access to new FLC related developments from the laboratories of its founders and currently licenses issued patents under this agreement on an exclusive basis.

PIONEER PATENTS

Surface stabilized Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals (FLCs)

        During the summer of 1979, Xxxx Xxxxx (a company founder and current Board Member) and Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx discovered what had eluded other researchers for decades: a low voltage, microsecond electro-optic effect. The discovery was enabled by a key invention: a technique called surface stabilization, to suppress the unwanted helical structure in ferroelectric liquid crystals. This "SSFLC" invention has been protected by a family of US and foreign patents, including many US continuations, some of which have just been issued, and hence provide coverage through the year 2013. Displaytech has worldwide exclusive licenses to all the Xxxxx/Lagerwall SSFLC patents, except as noted below, for all "direct drive" (each pixel is operated by its own electrical signal) devices of 4.5 cm diagonal or smaller. It has non-exclusive licenses for all other SSFLC devices.

        The surface-stabilized FLC device concept enables a very wide range of devices and applications. Displaytech's exclusive and non-exclusive licenses give it a large, sheltered playing field in which it can develop and license new products inside and outside the display area.

        Two other license holders have rights in the area of small direct-drive SSFLC devices—Canon Inc. of Japan and FLC Innovation, a small Swedish company formed by Lagerwall, both hold a non-exclusive license (without the right to sublicense small direct-drive devices) to all SSFLC devices. Canon has chosen to concentrate its FLC efforts solely on producing large (>12 inches) passive matrix flat panel displays primarily for desktop computers. Displaytech is in negotiations with the Swedish company to purchase its right to make SSFLC devices. In either case, Displaytech's own FLC materials display system patents (described below) would prevent either company from easily utilizing FLCs in miniature displays.

DISPLAYTECH PATENTS

FLC Materials

        When the SSFLC effect was discovered in 1979, there were only two known ferroelectric liquid crystal materials. Both exhibited the ferroelectric phase only at temperatures closer to the boiling point of water than to room temperature, and both decomposed when exposed to atmospheric humidity. One of the company's founders and current Board Member, Xxxx Xxxxx, synthesized the world's first room temperature FLC material in 1985. Since then, Displaytech chemists have synthesized over 1000 new FLC compounds. By blending these compounds together in carefully designed formulations, Displaytech has developed state-of-the-art FLC materials that exhibit all the qualities necessary to yield practical devices (such as chemical stability, broad temperature range, fast switching, and high contrast alignment).

25

        Displaytech patents those families of its compounds that offer exceptional performance properties. The company has 14 issued materials patents, and has 2 pending applications (not counting foreign correspondents of US patents or applications). A representative FLC mixture used in Displaytech devices is comprised of 12-16 compounds, of which 50% are typically covered by Displaytech patents. The remainder of the compounds is commercially available or in the public domain; Displaytech maintains the formulation of the mixture as a trade secret.

DISPLAY SYSTEMS

        Displaytech's miniature displays exploit the basic binary SSFLC effect driven in novel ways by a simple binary-logic CMOS backplane to display xxxx-scale and full-color images on a single panel. The display panels are combined with Displaytech-designed sequential-color illuminators and magnifying optics to make complete miniature display systems. The company has been awarded several patents on features of the display panel itself, but expects the strongest protection to come from its display system patents.

UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO

        In addition to the Xxxxx/Lagerwall licenses, Displaytech has an agreement with the University of Colorado Research Corporation. Under this agreement, the company receives the option to license (on an exclusive basis) all FLC-related inventions coming out of the laboratories of Xxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxx (Founders, Board Members, and Professors at the University of Colorado).

APPENDIX A

DISPLAYTECH LIGHTCASTER TECHNOLOGY

        Displaytech panels are based on a relatively new liquid crystal display technology. They have characteristics which result in superior performance but which depart substantially from the way older liquid crystal displays operate. The following information describes the differences and their significance for system design and shows the technical basis for the performance advantages that Displaytech offers.

        Displaytech displays have a number of advantages, which stem from the spatial light modulator (SLM) structure and FLC characteristics:

        FLC materials switch quickly in either direction. Changing a pixel from OFF to ON happens as quickly as changing the pixel from ON to OFF. Most LC materials change slowly and the change in one direction takes much longer than the change in the other direction. The slowness and switching asymmetry leads to image smear in most LC displays. This does not occur with fast switching FLC materials.

        The FLC layer is only one micron (1mm) thick. The layer thickness of other LC technologies is often several microns thick. Additionally, the interpixel gap between adjacent pixel mirrors is one micron wide. It is a characteristic of liquid crystal layers that the boundary between two pixels, which are in opposite states, has a width about equal to the layer thickness. Thus in the FLC, the boundary is about one micron wide and is confined entirely within the inter-pixel gap. Consequently, the large fill factor applies even for highest spatial frequency that the pixel array can render. In addition, the narrow inter-pixel gap greatly reduces the electrical fringing fields between adjacent pixels, which have the same state. Therefore, the FLC material between such pixels switches into the same state; there is no light scattering caused by LC field-induced non-uniformities to reduce contrast.

        FLC materials switch all the way to the surface. This important fact means that the optic axis of the FLC retarder layer is uniform throughout the thickness of the layer, even close to its boundaries. There is no twist, bend, or splay in the FLC optical properties. In other LC technologies, it is often necessary to add birefringent compensator films to correct the residual retardance, which can spoil the device contrast. The Displaytech panel does not require this extra film.

        FLC materials switch in plane. The fact that both optical states have the optic axis in the plane of the layer means that Displaytech can modulate light from faster illumination beams without the loss of contrast or shifting color. An optical system using the Displaytech panel can run at f/1.4 or faster, while a MEM panel, for example, is conventionally limited to f/2.8.

        High mirror reflectance. The intrinsic reflectance of the aluminum mirrors will rise during 1998 to about 90% from the current 85%.

        High geometric fill factor. The 1-micron interpixel gaps correctly represent the operational fill factor of 83% for current pixel designs. This is true, since the thin FLC layer confines the LC domain walls which exist between oppositely switched pixels to the geometric gaps. Every pixel is thus switched to the selected state over its entire area.

        High maximum luminous flux. Since there are no photocurrent effects for SRAM display panels, the highest luminous flux is limited by the temperature rise produced at the panel by the incident light. Prototypes have been tested at a level equivalent to over 2000 lumens on a 0.85-inch chip with no ill effects detected. Calculations indicate that it should be possible to put as much as 8500 lumens on such a chip with minimal heat sinking of the panel. The upper limit is currently unknown. The imminent increase in metal reflectance will increase the limit still further.

30

        Integrated row and column drivers. The CMOS backplane is ideal for the integration of row and column drivers onto the display panel. Row and column circuitry is conveniently located beside the panel.

        Future display panels will also integrate other functions; such as the control functions related to conversion from raster order data, Frame Buffer memory and a PanelLink receiver. Customer Intellectual Property, in the form of custom data processing capability, can also be integrated onto the display chip in future.

        The LightCaster display uses field sequential color techniques and produces grayscale by digital pulse width modulation. These confer the following advantages:

        The SRAM pixel circuit is used for projection display systems, ensuring that the Display Panel is insensitive to photoconductive charge produced in the display chip by absorbed incident light. In contrast, most competing reflective LC technologies use an analog voltage of about 5 volts/256 xxxx levels (or 0.05 volts) for each xxxx level to drive an analog LC response. Photocurrent noise voltages can easily be hundreds of millivolts in projection applications, leading to serious limitations of the true grayscale range and/or departures from grayscale linearity.

        The FLC and the pixel circuit both operate in saturation. The pixel circuit, which drives the FLC, is loaded with digital data, which it stores, and the circuit is switched into saturation. This is true of SRAM pixel circuits in which a six-transistor latch holds the data, and it is true of DRAM pixel circuits where the charge storage capacitor is fully charged to one supply rail. The voltage thus applied to the FLC always drives it into saturation, fully switching it in either of its states. The most notable advantage gained is a very high immunity to electrical noise of various kinds, which is difficult to achieve with the analog xxxx pixels used in other LC displays.

        Grayscale is produced with digital accuracy, since there are no on-chip D/A converters needed to drive the pixel circuits.

        The digital Display Panel is compatible with an all-digital display architecture incorporating a digital image source as well as digital image data transmission and the ultimate display system.

        Displaytech produces its own liquid crystal materials for all of its products. This capability results in substantial advantages for the Displaytech displays. Several of these advantages are listed below:

        Application-specific liquid crystal materials result in highest performance. Projection LC materials are designed to supply highest contrast, throughput, and grayscale speed at the elevated temperatures encountered inside projection systems.

        Materials are formulated for high performance over the operating temperature range. The FLC controlling properties depend on cell design, manufacturing processes, and grayscale techniques, as well as on intrinsic FLC material parameters. Custom formulation guarantees that the panel design is optimized in the context of these complex component-wide interactions.

        FLC materials are compatible with future CMOS foundry processes, which have finer, line design rules and lower operating voltages. FLCs can operate at these lower voltages, whereas other LC materials will almost certainly continue to need higher operating voltage to maintain even their current slow switching.

        Displaytech continuously improves its materials and the way in which they are used. In particular, investigations are underway regarding the use of the bistability effect in FLCs. FLCs also have various analog electro-optical effects, which are under study for display applications, and could be put into production should the light shielding problem, which currently plagues analog LC displays, submit to further developments. Displaytech is also pursuing display applications of nematic LC materials and could put them into products, if their properties improve to offer potential advantages.

31

        Displaytech Panel fabrication is characterized by the following facts.

        No exotic equipment needs to be developed, built or maintained to expand production capacity. Instead, standard equipment with known supply channels and lead times facilitate predictable and orderly expansion.

        No special materials are required, besides the custom FLC materials. All other materials are readily available from well-known suppliers.

        5.    Mandatory Conversion.

5.1    Conversion upon IPO.    The outstanding principal amount of this Note shall be converted automatically into the number of shares of Preferred Stock obtained by dividing such principal amount by the then effective Note Conversion Price, immediately upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering.

5.2.    Notice of Mandatory Conversion.    Within five (5) Business Days after the date on which this Note converts into shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5.1 (the "Mandatory Conversion Date"), the Company shall mail a notice of conversion by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder, addressed to the Holder at its last address shown on the books of the Company. This Note shall be converted automatically and without any further action by the Holder hereof on the Mandatory Conversion Date, whether or not this Note is surrendered to the Company. The Company shall be obligated to issue (i) certificates evidencing the shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon such conversion, and, (ii) as provided in Section 7 hereof, a check or cash in respect of any fractional shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon such conversion and, in accordance with Section 13(a), all accrued but unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Note being converted, but not until three (3) days after this Note is either delivered to the Company or the Holder notifies the Company that this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides to the Company an Indemnity in respect thereto. Anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2 notwithstanding, the Company, at its option, may elect to pay the interest accrued on the principal amount of this Note by issuing PIK Interest Shares, with the number of PIK Interest Shares to be issued to be calculated by dividing the amount of interest accrued on the principal amount of this Note on the Mandatory Conversion Date by the Note Conversion Price then in effect.

        6.    Optional Conversion.

6.1    Conversion Right.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) on the Maturity Date, (ii) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, (iii) following notice of prepayment of the Note pursuant to Section 4, and (iii) upon a Change of Control, the Holder shall have the right (the "Conversion Right"), at its option, to convert the principal amount of this Note, or the Minimum Convertible Portion, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Preferred Stock obtained by dividing such principal amount or Minimum Convertible Portion, respectively, by the Note Conversion Price in effect on the date such conversion is deemed to be effective.

4

6.2    Exercise of Conversion Right.

        (a)   In order to effect a conversion pursuant to Section 6.1, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company and shall give written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, to the Company (a "Conversion Notice") that the Holder elects to convert this Note, or the Minimum Convertible Portion as is specified in the Conversion Notice, into shares of Preferred Stock. Promptly upon receipt of a Conversion Notice and surrender of this Note, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note, or the Minimum Convertible Portion, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6, and, (ii) as provided in Section 7, a check or cash in respect of any fractional shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon such conversion and, in accordance with Section 13(a), all accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount of this Note being converted. The foregoing notwithstanding, except if a Holder exercises its Conversion Right upon a Change of Control or Event of Default, the Company, at its option, may elect to pay the interest accrued on the principal amount of this Note by issuing PIK Interest Shares, with the number of PIK Interest Shares to be issued to be calculated by dividing the amount of interest accrued on the principal amount of this Note or the Minimum Convertible Portion being converted on the Optional Conversion Date by the Note Conversion Price then in effect. If the Holder exercises its Conversion Right upon a Change of Control or Event of Default, the election to receive PIK Interest Shares in lieu of interest accrued shall be at the option of the Holder. If less than the entire principal amount of this Note is being converted, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the Holder, without charge to the Holder, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unconverted principal amount of this Note and dated the date of this Note.

        (b)   Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date (the "Optional Conversion Date") on which this Note shall have been surrendered to the Company and a Conversion Notice with respect to this Note shall have been received by the Company as described in Section 6.2(a). Any person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Preferred Stock shall be issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares represented thereby on the Optional Conversion Date.

6.3    No Other Adjustments.    Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6 and Section 5 and Section 8, no payment or adjustment will be made for dividends or other distributions with respect to any shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note as provided herein.

        7.    No Fractional Shares.    No fractional shares of Preferred Stock or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion (whether optional or mandatory) of the principal amount and interest, if applicable, of this Note or the Minimum Convertible Portion. If any fractional shares of Preferred Stock would, but for this Section 7, be issuable upon the conversion of this Note or the Minimum Convertible Portion, the Company shall make a payment therefor in check or cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional shares. The term "Fair Market Value" of any share of Preferred Stock shall mean the fair market value of the shares of Preferred Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive.

        8.    Adjustment of Note Conversion Price.    (a) In the event that the Company shall at any time after the date hereof: (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its Preferred Stock in shares of Preferred Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify shares of its outstanding Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine shares of its outstanding Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares, (iv) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Preferred Stock in shares of any series of its Capital Stock (other than Preferred Stock) or in any Capital Stock Rights, or (v) issue by reclassification of its Preferred Stock shares of any series of its Capital Stock or in any Capital Stock

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8 shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

        (c)   In the event of a Business Combination or other Change of Control transaction where the price per share of Common Stock is less than the Note Conversion Price in effect on the date of the closing of such Change of Control transaction, then the Note Conversion Price shall be reduced to such lower price.

The Notes are convertible into shares of Series HP Convertible Preferred Stock as created by the Certificate of Designation and Determination of Preferences dated as of February 17, 1999 (the "Certificate"). The shares of Series HP Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Certificate. This opinion is being rendered to you in accordance with Section 4.1.(e) of the Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this letter have the meaning given them in the Agreement.

        In connection with this opinion, I have examined originals, or copies of originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates, and other instruments as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.

        Based upon and in reliance upon the foregoing, and subject to the further limitations set forth below, I am of the opinion that:

        1.     The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under, and by virtue of, the laws of the State of Colorado and is in good standing under such laws. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted and proposed to be conducted.

        2.     The Company has all requisite legal and corporate power to execute and deliver the Agreement and the Shareholders' Agreement, to sell and issue the Notes pursuant to the Agreement, to issue the Series HP Convertible Preferred Stock and the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series HP Convertible Preferred Stock and to otherwise carry out and fully perform its obligations under the terms of the Agreement and the Shareholders' Agreement.

        3.     The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, none of which is issued and outstanding, and 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which (i) 1,920,237 shares are issued and outstanding, (ii) 769,250 shares are reserved for issuance under the Company's 1988 Incentive Stock Option Plan, and for other individual grants of stock options, and (iii) 265,744 shares are reserved for issuance upon conversion of warrants which have been, or will be, issued. To the best of my knowledge, all of such issued and outstanding shares of common stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are free of any preemptive or similar rights contained in the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or any agreement by which the Company is bound. The Notes issued and to be issued under the Agreement are authorized obligations of the Company. The shares of Series HP Convertible Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series HP Convertible Preferred Stock, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, will be validly issued, and to the best of my knowledge, fully paid and nonassessable, free of preemptive or similar rights contained in the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or any agreement by which the Company is bound, provided, however, that the Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws as set forth in the Agreement and the Shareholders' Agreement.

        4.     All corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of the Agreement and the Shareholders' Agreement, the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Notes, the Series HP Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock issuable upon conversion thereof, and the performance of the Company's obligations

under the Agreement and Shareholders' Agreement have been taken. The Agreement and the Shareholders' Agreement have been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the voting provisions of section 3 of the Shareholders' Agreement constitute valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with their terms.

        5.     The Company is not in violation of any term of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. Neither the Articles of Incorporation nor the Bylaws of the Company are in violation of the Colorado Business Corporation Act. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms of the Agreement and the Shareholders' Agreement, and the issuance of the Notes, Series HP Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock issuable upon conversion thereof, do not violate any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or of any provision of any applicable federal or state law, rule or regulation.    The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms of the Agreement and the Shareholders' Agreement, and the issuance of the Notes, Series HP Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock issuable upon conversion thereof, have not resulted and will not result in any violation of, or constitute a default under (or an event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice would constitute a default under), or be in conflict with any contract, agreement, instrument, judgment or decree binding upon the Company which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.

        6.     There are no actions, suits, proceedings or, to the best of my knowledge, investigations pending against the Company, its properties or its officers and directors (in connection with the discharge of their duties as officers and directors) before any court or government agency (nor, to the best of my knowledge, is there any written threat thereof), which if adversely determined could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in the business or financial condition of the Company or which questions the validity of the Agreement or the Shareholders' Agreement or any action taken or to be taken by the Company in connection therewith.

        7.     Except for the Certificate, no consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration of filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of the Agreement and the Shareholders' Agreement or the consummation of any transactions contemplated thereby, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Notes, Series HP Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock issuable upon conversion thereof.

        8.     Subject to the accuracy of the Investors' representations in Section 5.2 of the Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Notes, Series HP Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock issuable upon conversion thereof, in conformity with the terms of the Agreement constitute transactions exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

        In my examination and in rendering the foregoing opinions, I have assumed and relied upon (and I have no knowledge contradicting) the following:

        (a).  the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Agreement and Shareholders' Agreement by all of the parties thereto other than the Company; and

        (b).  the absence of fraud, duress or mutual mistake of fact in connection with the transactions which are the subject of this opinion.

        The foregoing opinions are subject to the following:

        (i)    When used herein, the expression "to the best of my knowledge" means as to matters of fact that, after an examination of documents in my files, the Company's books and records

2

available to me as of this date, and after inquiries of other executive officers of the Company, I find no reason to believe that the opinions expressed are factually incorrect.

        (ii)   The enforceability of the terms and provisions of the Agreement and Shareholders' Agreement is subject to (A) federal and state laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and similar laws; (B) the application of principles of equity, and the possible unavailability of the remedy of specific performance and other forms of equitable relief, whether in an action at law or a proceeding in equity; (C) limitations on the rights of the parties imposed by common law requirements of materiality of default and the implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing; (D) the effect of any delay occasioned by proceedings to resist enforcement of the Agreement and the Shareholders' Agreement (including without limit any stay of enforcement in bankruptcy proceedings); and (E) a requirement imposed by certain courts that the parties act in a commercially reasonable manner and that the parties not breach the Agreement or the Shareholders' Agreement, or violate any law in connection with enforcement of the Agreement or Shareholders' Agreement.

        (iii)  I express no opinion on the enforceability of those provisions of the Agreement or Shareholders' Agreement which do not have a term the length of which may be calculated from the provisions of such agreement.

        I am admitted to practice law only in the State of Colorado, and the foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of Colorado.

        This opinion letter may be relied upon by its addressees only in connection with the transactions described herein. This opinion letter may not be used or relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose whatsoever. This opinion letter speaks only as of its date, and I have no obligation to advise the addressees of any change of law, facts or conclusions that may subsequently arise.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE PURCHASER

*DRAFT*

February 17, 1999

Displaytech, Inc.

Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000

Re:

Note Purchase Agreement dated February 12, 1999
Between Displaytech, Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Company

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        I have acted as counsel for Hewlett-Packard Company, a Delaware corporation (AHP@), in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, dated February 12, 1999 (the APurchase Agreement@), between Displaytech, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("DT") and HP. This opinion is given to you pursuant to Section 4.1(e) of the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given them in the Purchase Agreement.

        In connection with this opinion, I have examined and relied upon such original copies of records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in my judgment are necessary to enable me to render this opinion.

        In addition, I have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of documents submitted to me as copies thereof, the accuracy, completeness and genuineness of certificates of public officials and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by all parties other than HP where due authorization, execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof. As to any questions of fact material to this opinion, I have relied, when relevant facts were not independently established, upon certificates and statements of officers and representatives of HP, public officials and others which I deemed reasonable and appropriate. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, I have not undertaken any special or independent investigation to determine the accuracy of such certificates or statements, and any limited inquiry undertaken by me during the preparation of this opinion letter should not be regarded as such investigation. No inference as to my knowledge of the existence of facts or circumstances should be drawn merely from my representation of HP.

        I do not hold myself out as being expert in any laws other than the law of the State of California and the federal law of the United States. I express no opinion herein concerning any law other than the existing law of the State of California and the existing federal law of the United States.

        In addition, I express no opinion as to (a) the effect of rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, (b) compliance with the antifraud provisions of federal and state statutory or common law, (c) any tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (d) any applicable laws relating to antitrust matters or restraint of trade, (e) the enforceability of any provision providing for indemnification as it may be affected by public policy considerations or court decisions which may limit the right of any indemnified party to obtain indemnification, or (f) the effect of applicable state or federal laws pertaining to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, readjustment of debt, arrangement, liquidation, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors or secured parties generally. I also express no opinion to the extent that the enforceability of the Purchase Agreement may be limited by, subject to or affected by general principles of equity (including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law)), may otherwise contravene public policy or may be subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding may be brought.

        I have assumed that there are no agreements, understandings or negotiations among the parties to the Purchase Agreement that would modify the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

        On the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

        1.     HP has the corporate power and authority to enter into the Purchase Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder.

        2.     The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part. The Purchase Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by HP and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of HP enforceable against HP in accordance with its terms.

        This opinion is limited to the matters expressly set forth above, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly so stated. I assume no obligation to advise you of any further changes in the facts or law relating to the matters covered by this opinion. This opinion is furnished by me, as counsel to HP, solely for your benefit in connection with the Purchase Agreement, is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose, and may not be used or relied upon by anyone else, without my prior written consent.

Sincerely,

*DRAFT*

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED CONVERTIBLE NOTE

[Executed version filed as part of this Exhibit 10.17.]

Exhibit 2

AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
AND DETERMINATION OF PREFERENCES OF
THE SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
DISPLAYTECH, INC.
A COLORADO CORPORATION

        1.    Amendment.    The preferences, rights and privileges and the qualifications, restrictions and limitations of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (hereinafter referred to as "Series D Preferred Stock") are hereby amended and restated in their entirety, as specified in this Certificate of Designation.

        2.    Dividends.

        (a)    General Dividend Obligations.    In the event that the Company shall at any time or from time to time declare, order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, securities, rights to purchase securities or other property) on its Common Stock, the holders of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive from the Company, with respect to each share of Series D Preferred Stock held, a dividend or distribution that is the same dividend or distribution that would be received by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 hereof on the record date for such dividend or distribution (except in the case of the payment of a stock dividend in shares of its Common Stock if a holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have given notice to the Company (within five (5) business days after such holder's receipt of the Company's notice regarding the stock dividend) of its election to have the Conversion Price of its shares adjusted in accordance with Section 5(d)(i) hereof). Any such dividend or distribution shall be declared, ordered, paid or made on the Series D Preferred Stock at the same time such dividend or distribution is declared, ordered, paid or made on the Common Stock. Dividends, if declared, on shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall accrue and be cumulative from the payment date of such dividend on such shares.

        (b)    Limitation on Dividends, Repurchases and Redemptions.    So long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, the Company shall not declare or pay or set apart for payment any dividends or make any other distributions on any Junior Securities, whether in cash, securities, rights to purchase securities or other property (other than dividends or distributions payable in shares of the class or series upon which such dividends or distributions are declared or paid), nor shall the Company purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for any consideration or make payment on account of the purchase, redemption or other retirement of any Junior Securities (except as may be required by the Stock Restriction Agreements), nor shall any monies be paid or made available for a sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of any Junior Securities (except as may be required by the Stock Restriction Agreements), unless with respect to all of the foregoing all dividends or other distributions to which the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall have been entitled, pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, shall have been paid or declared and a sum of money has been set apart for the full payment thereof.

        (c)    Pro Rata Payments.    In the event that full dividends are not paid or made available to the holders of all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock and funds available for payment of dividends shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to holders of all such stock of the full preferential amounts to which they are then entitled, then the entire amount available for payment of dividends shall be distributed ratably among all such holders of Series D Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amount to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

        3.    Preference on Liquidation.

        (a)    Liquidation Preference for Series D Preferred Stock.    In the event that the Company shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of Common Stock or other Junior Securities (and no monies shall be set apart for such purpose) unless prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have received, for each share of Series D Preferred Stock held, an amount in cash per share equal to the Liquidation Value plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon through the date of distribution (the "Series D Liquidation Preference"). The "Liquidation Value" means $100 per share with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock, as adjusted pursuant to Section 5(d) hereof. Upon the receipt by the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock of an amount in cash per share equal to the Series D Liquidation Preference, each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be void and of no further force or effect and the holders of such shares shall have no further rights with respect thereto.

        (b)    Pro Rate Payments.    If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the affairs of the Company, the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full of the Series D Liquidation Preference for each share of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding, then the assets of the Company remaining shall be ratably distributed among the holders of Series D Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled if all amounts thereon were paid in full.

        (c)    Transactions Deemed a Liquidation.    The voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Company or a merger, reorganization, sale of voting control or other transaction in which control of the Company is transferred and in which the shareholders of the Company do not own a majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company for purposes of this Section 3; provided that in the event of such a transaction, the Series D Liquidation Preference shall be paid in cash or in the consideration to be received in the transaction, at the option of the Board of Directors of the Company.

        (d)    Notice of Liquidation.    Written notice of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, stating the payment date or dates when and the place or places where amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, not less than thirty (30) days prior to any payment date specified therein, to the holders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock at their respective addresses as shall appear on the records of the Company.

        (e)    Status.    The Series D Preferred Stock shall rank senior in all respects, including the payment on liquidation and redemption, only to the Common Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary set forth in the certificate of designations of any other class or series of equity securities of the Company or otherwise).

        (f)    Limitation.    Notwithstanding any provision of this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, while any indebtedness of the Company under the HP Convertible Note is outstanding, no payments, dividends or other distributions in cash or assets (other than in Capital Stock of the Company as otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Certificate of Designation) shall be made, with out the written consent of Hewlett-Packard, on or with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock or any of the Company's other equity securities, including, without limitation, any cash payments arising from the sale or liquidation of the Company.

        4.    Voting.    The Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote only on those matters on which vote is required by the laws of, the State of Colorado and, unless prohibited by the laws of the State of Colorado, the Series D Preferred Stock shall vote on all such matters together with the Series E-D

2

Preferred Stock as a single voting group. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to such number of votes per share on each such action as shall equal the maximum number of whole shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series D Preferred Stock is then convertible, either directly or indirectly. Except as expressly provided in Section 5(c) hereof, the Series D Preferred Stock shall have no other voting rights.

        5.    Conversion.    The holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock or any Capital Stock or other securities into which such Common Stock shall have been changed or any Capital Stock or other securities resulting from a reclassification thereof as follows:

        (a)    Right to Convert.    Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5, a holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right, at the option of such holder, at any time, to convert any or all of such shares into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion rounded down to the nearest l/100th of a share) obtained by dividing the aggregate Liquidation Value of the shares to be converted, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon through the date of conversion, by the Conversion Price and by surrender of such shares, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 5. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, when such Common Stock shall be issued in accordance with the terms hereof, are hereby declared to be and shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock held by the holders thereof.

        (b)    Mechanics of Conversion.    Each holder of Series D Preferred Stock that desires to convert the same into shares of Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Series D Preferred Stock or Common Stock, accompanied by written notice to the Company that such holder elects to convert the same and stating therein the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock being converted, and setting forth the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued if such name or names shall be different than that of such holder. Thereupon, the Company shall issue and deliver at such office on not later than the fifth Business Day thereafter (unless such conversion is in connection with an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, in which event concurrently with such conversion) to such holder or on such holder's written order, (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and (ii) if less than the full number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock evidenced by the surrendered certificate or certificates are being converted, a new certificate or certificates, of like tenor, for the number of shares evidenced by such surrendered certificate or certificates less the number of shares converted.

        Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares to be converted so that the rights of the holder thereof as to the shares being converted shall cease at such time except for the right to receive shares of Common Stock and if the holder of the shares being so converted shall have elected to receive dividends subsequent to such conversion, all accrued and unpaid dividends in accordance herewith, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock at such time.

        (c)    Mandatory Conversion; Conditional Conversion.    If at any time the holders of a majority of the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E-D Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, vote to require a mandatory conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E-D Preferred Stock, each holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate

3

or certificates for all shares of Series D Preferred Stock for conversion by the conversion date specified by the vote of the majority of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E-D Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if conversion of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock is to be made in connection with a public offering of Common Stock or any transaction described in Section 5(d)(iii) hereof, the conversion of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock may, at the election of the holder thereof, be conditioned upon the consummation of the public offering or such transaction, in which case such conversion shall not be deemed to be effective until the consummation of such public offering or transaction.

        (d)    Adjustment of the Conversion Price.    The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

        (i)    Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time, or from time to time after the Issue Date, pays a stock dividend in shares of its Common Stock to the holders of its Common Stock, issues any debt securities to the holders of its Common Stock, effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, issues by reclassification of shares of its Common Stock any shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation, or makes a distribution to the holders of its Common Stock of any of its assets (other than cash dividends payable out of earnings or retained earnings in the ordinary course of business) then, in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted so that each holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert its shares of Series D Preferred Stock into the number of shares of Common Stock which it would have owned after the event had such shares of Series D Preferred Stock been converted immediately before the happening of such event. Any adjustment under this Section 5(d)(i) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend and distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of an issuance, subdivision, combination or reclassification. If the Company pays a stock dividend in shares of its Common Stock to the holders of its Common Stock and the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock received such stock dividend pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted for such stock dividend under this Section 5(d)(i).

        (ii)   Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to making adjustments to the shares of Common Stock into which the Series D Preferred Stock is convertible and the Conversion Price at which the Series D Preferred Stock is convertible provided for in this Section 5(d):

        (A)  When Adjustments Are to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 5(d) shall be made whenever and as often as any event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the Conversion Price that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 5(d)(i)) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made amount to a change in the Conversion Price of less than $.05. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made on the earlier of (I) such time as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 5(d) and not previously made, would result in an aggregate adjustment equal to or in excess of a minimum adjustment or (II) on the date of conversion. For the purpose of any adjustment, any event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.

4

        (B)  Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 5(d), fractional interests in the Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/100th of a share.

        (iii)  Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. If the Company shall at any time reorganize or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from no par value to par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) or consolidate with or merge into another corporation (where the Company is not the continuing corporation after such merger or consolidation), the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock in whole or in part, the same kind and number of shares of stock and other securities, cash or other property (and upon the same terms and with the same rights) as would have been distributed to a holder upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger had such holder converted its Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger (subject to subsequent adjustments under Section 5(d) hereof). The Conversion Price upon such conversion shall be the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger unless prior to the consummation thereof, the corporation which may be required to deliver any stock, securities or other assets upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock shall agree by an instrument in writing to deliver such stock, cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock. A sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another person shall be deemed a reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.

        (iv)  Chief Financial Officer's Opinion. Upon each adjustment of the Conversion Price, and in the event of any change in the rights of a holder of Series D Preferred Stock by reason of other events herein set forth, then and in each such case, the Company will promptly obtain a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, stating the adjusted Conversion Price, or specifying the other shares of the Common Stock, securities or assets and the amount thereof receivable as a result of such change in rights, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. The Company will promptly mail a copy of such certificate to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock. If a holder disagrees with such calculation, the Company agrees to obtain within thirty (30) Business Days of its receipt of notice of such disagreement an opinion of a firm of nationally recognized independent certified public accountants selected by the Company's Board of Directors (who may be the Company's regular firm of independent accountants) and acceptable to such holder (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld) to review such calculation and the opinion of such firm of independent certified public accountants shall be final and binding on the parties and shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of the computation with respect to any such adjustment of the Conversion Price. The fees of such certified public accountants in connection with such opinion shall be borne by such holder if the Company's calculation is determined to be between 90% and 110% of the calculation of such accountants.

        (e)    No Impairment.    The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of

5

Section 5 hereof and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock against impairment.

        (f)    No Fractional Shares Adjustments.    No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock. If more than one share of the Series D Preferred Stock is to be converted at one time by the same stockholder, the number of full shares issuable upon such conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate amount of the shares to be converted. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the Company will pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock at the close of business on the day of conversion which such fractional share of Series D Preferred Stock would be convertible into on such date.

        (g)    Shares to be Reserved.    The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, out its authorized, and unissued stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the Series D Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding. The Company shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock shall be insufficient to permit the conversion in full of the Series D Preferred Stock.

        (h)    Taxes and Charges.    The Company will pay any and all issue or other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Series D Preferred Stock, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.

        (i)    Accrued Dividends.    Upon conversion of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any accrued by unpaid dividends in respect of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock so converted to the date of such conversion.

        (j)    Closing of Books.    The Company will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

        6.    Shares to be Retired.    Any shares of Series D Preferred Stock converted, redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Company shall be retired and cancelled and shall upon cancellation be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, subject to reissuance by the Board of Directors as shares of preferred stock of one or more other series but not as shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

        7.    Preemptive Rights.    The holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall not have preemptive rights.

        8.    Call.

        (a)    Call at the Company's Option.    Subject to the other provisions of this Section 8, upon the completion of a Qualified Public Offering, the Company shall have the right to purchase any or all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the "Call"). Any purchase of the Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall be at a price per share of Series D Preferred Stock equal to the Liquidation Value plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon through the date of the exercise of the Call (the "Call Price").

6

        (b)    Procedures for Call at the Company's Option.    The Company's right to Call the Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof shall be conditioned upon the Company giving notice (the "Call Notice"), by first class mail, postage prepaid, of the exercise of the Call to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock not less than twenty five (25) days prior to the date of the exercise of the Call (the "Call Date"). Each Call Notice shall state: (i) the Call Date; (ii) the number of shares covered by the Call, (iii) the Call Price; (iv) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the Call Price; (v) that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series D Preferred Stock; (vi) the then-current Conversion Price and the date on which the right to convert such shares of Series D Preferred Stock will expire; (vii) that dividends on the shares to be purchased shall cease to accrue following such Call Date; (viii) that such Call is mandatory; and (ix) that dividends, if any, accrued to and including the Call Date will be paid as specified in such notice. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Call Date, unless the Company shall in default in the payment of Call Price (including any accrued and unpaid dividends to (and including) the Call Date), (A) dividends on the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue, (B) such shares shall be deemed no longer outstanding and (C) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of the Series D Preferred Stock (except the right to receive from the Company any moneys payable upon exercise of the Call without interest thereon) shall cease.

        Upon surrender in accordance with the Call Notice of the certificates for any such shares so purchased (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Board of Directors shall so require and the Call Notice shall so state), such shares shall be purchased by the Company at the applicable Call Price.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Call Notice has been given pursuant to this Section 8 and any holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall, prior to the close of business on the twentieth (20th) day after receipt of such Call Notice, give written notice to the Company Pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof of the conversion of any or all of the shares to be purchased held by such holder (accompanied by a certificate or certificates for such shares, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company), then (i) the conversion of such shares to be purchased shall become effective as provided in Section 5 hereof and (ii) the Company's right to Call such shares to be purchased shall terminate.

        4.6. Disclosure Materials; Other Information.

        (a)   The Company has previously furnished to the Purchasers or their counsel the materials described on Schedule 4.6(a) hereto (the "Disclosure Material"). The audited and unaudited financial statements referred to or contained in the materials referred to on Schedule 4.6(a) fairly present the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of the operations of the Company for such periods and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, except that any such unaudited statements may omit notes and may be subject to normal recurring adjustments and year-end adjustments.

        (b)   Since September 30, 2002, (i) the business of the Company has been conducted in the ordinary course and (ii) there has been no material adverse change in the assets, properties, liabilities, business, affairs, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company on a consolidated basis. As of the Closing Date and as of the date hereof, there are no material liabilities of the Company which would be required to be provided for in a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of any such date prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, other than liabilities provided for in the financial statements referred to in Section 4.6(a). Since September 30, 2002, no amount or property has directly or indirectly been declared, ordered, paid, made or set aside for any Restricted Payment nor has any such action been agreed to.

        (d)   The financial projections included in the Disclosure Material conform with the internal operating forecasts of the Company and were based on reasonable assumptions when made and have been prepared in good faith.

The Company has paid or caused to be paid all material Taxes (whether or not reflected on such Tax Returns) that are due and payable.

3.4   Each payment under this Note (whether pursuant to Section 3.2 or otherwise) shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to accrued but unpaid interest; and (b) thereafter, to the principal amount outstanding as of the time of such payment.

4.    Prepayment.    The Company may, at its option, at any time and from time to time and prior to the Maturity Date, prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note, without prepayment penalty or premium. Any such prepayment shall be in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

4.1   The Company shall give the Holder prior written notice of its irrevocable election to prepay this Note as provided above (identifying the date of prepayment, the full amount of the payment proposed to be made, and the portion thereof that is allocable to principal pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4), which written notice shall be delivered to the Holder at least sixty (60) Days prior to any such prepayment date.

4.2   To the extent (if any) that the aggregate amount of accrued interest and principal paid by the Company pursuant to this Note on or before August 19, 2006 ("Section 4.2 Payments") exceeds One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00), the Company shall receive (in addition to the credit received for the amount

6

of such payments) a credit against its obligations under this Note in an amount equal to 20% of such excess. Each such credit (i) shall be applied to accrued interest and principal in substantially the same manner as is set forth in Section 3.4, as if the amount of such credit were a payment and (ii) shall be credited against, and offset from, the Company's obligation for payments coming due on the next succeeding Payment Date(s). By way of example only, if the Company pays principal and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) on or before August 19, 2006, then the Company shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) against the payment required to be made on or before February 19, 2007 pursuant to Section 3.2(c).

4.3   For purposes of this Section 4.3, the "Section 4.3 Excess" shall mean the amount, if any, by which (a) the aggregate amount of accrued interest and principal paid by the Company pursuant to this Note on or before August 19, 2007 exceeds (b) the full amount of Section 4.2 Payments actually made by the Company. Provided that the Company timely makes all payments required to be made under this Note as of August 19, 2006, then to the extent (if any) that the Section 4.3 Excess exceeds Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000.00), the Company shall receive (in addition to the credit received for the amount of such payments) a credit against its obligations under this Note in an amount equal to 10% of the amount by which the Section 4.3 Excess exceeds Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000.00). Each such credit (i) shall be applied to accrued interest and principal in substantially the same manner as is set forth in Section 3.4, as if the amount of such credit were a payment and (ii) shall be credited against, and offset from, the Company's obligation for payments coming due on the next succeeding Payment Date(s). By way of example only, if the Company pays (A) principal and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) on or before August 19, 2006 and (B) principal and accrued interest in the additional aggregate amount of Four Million ($4,000,000.00) on or before August 19, 2007, then in addition to the credit described in the last sentence of Section 4.2, the Company shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) against the payment required to be made on or before the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 3.2(e).

5.    Mandatory Conversion.

5.1    Conversion upon IPO.    The outstanding principal and interest of this Note shall be converted automatically into the number of shares of Preferred Stock obtained by dividing the aggregate amount of such principal and interest by the then effective Note Conversion Price, immediately upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering. The number of shares of Preferred Stock obtained upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering shall then be converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2; provided, that notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary, no portion of this Note shall be converted into shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1 unless immediately thereafter, such shares of Preferred Stock automatically convert (in the manner set forth in Section 5.2) into shares of Common Stock having an aggregate value (based on the price per share of Common Stock sold in the Qualified

7

Public Offering) of at least 125% of the aggregate amount of principal and accrued interest to be converted hereunder.

5.2    Notice of Mandatory Conversion.    Within five (5) Business Days after the date on which this Note converts into shares of Preferred Stock and is then converted into shares of Common Stock as described in Section 5.1 (the "Mandatory Conversion Date"), the Company shall mail a notice of conversion by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder, addressed to the Holder at its last address shown on the books of the Company. Notwithstanding any provision of this Note or any other document or instrument to the contrary, this Note (and, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.2, the shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note) shall be converted automatically and without any further action by the Holder hereof on the Mandatory Conversion Date, whether or not this Note or any other certificates, documents or instruments are surrendered to the Company by the Holder. On the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company shall make entries on the stock book of the Company reflecting the conversion of the Note into the shares of Preferred Stock and the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock. The Company shall be obligated to issue (i) certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, and, (ii) as provided in Section 7 hereof, a check or cash in respect of any fractional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, within three (3) days after the Mandatory Conversion Date. Within seven (7) days after the Mandatory Conversion Date the Holder shall either deliver this Note to the Company, or notify the Company that this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and provide to the Company an Indemnity in respect thereto.

6.    Optional Conversion.

6.1    Conversion Right.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Note and the Purchase Agreement, (i) on the Maturity Date, (ii) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, (iii) following notice of prepayment of the Note pursuant to Section 4, (iv) upon a Change of Control and (v) upon any public offering of the Company's securities (other than a Qualified Public Offering upon which this Note automatically converts in accordance with Section 5), the Holder shall have the right (the "Conversion Right"), at its option, to convert the entire principal amount of this Note or, at the Holder's election, any portion of the principal amount of this Note (the "Convertible Portion"), into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Preferred Stock obtained by dividing such principal amount or Convertible Portion, as the case may be, by the Note Conversion Price in effect on the date such conversion is deemed to be effective.

6.2    Exercise of Conversion Right.

        (a)   In order to effect a conversion pursuant to Section 6.1, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company and shall give written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, to the Company (a "Conversion Notice") that the Holder elects to convert this Note, or the Convertible Portion as is specified in the Conversion Notice, into shares of Preferred Stock. Promptly upon receipt of a Conversion Notice and

8

surrender of this Note, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note, or the Convertible Portion, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6, and, (ii) as provided in Section 7, a check or cash in respect of any fractional shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon such conversion and, in accordance with Section 13(a), all accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount of this Note being converted. The foregoing notwithstanding, upon exercise of the Conversion Right (except an exercise of the Conversion Right upon a Change of Control or Event of Default), the Company, at its option, may elect to pay the interest accrued on the principal amount of this Note then being converted by issuing PIK Interest Shares, with the number of PIK Interest Shares to be issued to be calculated by dividing the amount of interest accrued on the principal amount of this Note or the Convertible Portion being converted on the Optional Conversion Date by the Note Conversion Price then in effect. If the Holder exercises its Conversion Right upon a Change of Control or Event of Default, the election to receive PIK Interest Shares in lieu of interest accrued shall be at the option of the Holder. If less than the entire principal amount of this Note is being converted, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the Holder, without charge to the Holder, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unconverted principal amount of this Note and dated the date of this Note.

        (b)   Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date (the "Optional Conversion Date") on which this Note shall have been surrendered to the Company and a Conversion Notice with respect to this Note shall have been received by the Company as described in Section 6.2(a). Any person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Preferred Stock shall be issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares represented thereby on the Optional Conversion Date.

6.3    No Other Adjustments.    Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6 and Section 5 and Section 8, no payment or adjustment to the Note Conversion Price will be made for dividends or other distributions with respect to any shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note as provided herein.

7.    No Fractional Shares.    No fractional shares of Preferred Stock or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion (whether optional or mandatory) of the principal amount and interest, if applicable, of this Note or the Convertible Portion. If any fractional shares of Preferred Stock would, but for this Section 7, be issuable upon the conversion of this Note or the Convertible Portion, the Company shall make a payment therefor in check or cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional shares. The term "Fair Market Value" of any share of Preferred Stock shall mean the fair market value of the shares of Preferred Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive.

8.    Adjustment of Note Conversion Price.

        (a)   In the event that the Company shall at any time after the date hereof: (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its Preferred Stock in shares of Preferred Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify shares of its outstanding Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine shares of its outstanding Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Preferred Stock in shares of any series of its Capital Stock (other than Preferred Stock) or in any Capital Stock Rights, or (v) issue to the holders of its Preferred Stock, by reclassification of its Preferred Stock or otherwise, shares of any series of its Capital Stock or any Capital Stock Rights, then the Note Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive on conversion of this Note or the Convertible Portion, as the case may be, the number of shares of Preferred Stock, other Capital Stock or Capital Stock Rights of the Company which such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had this Note or the Convertible Portion been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8 shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification or similar event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to above shall occur.

        (b)   Upon an adjustment of the Note Conversion Price pursuant to Section 8(a), the Company shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Holder of this Note, which notice shall state the Note Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment and shall set forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of such Note Conversion Price and the facts upon which such calculation was based.

        (c)   In case at any time:

        (i)    the Company shall determine to declare any dividend or make any distribution on its shares of Preferred Stock other than in shares of Capital Stock or in Capital Stock Rights;

        (ii)   there shall be an impending Business Combination; or

        (iii)  there shall be an impending voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give written notice of the action in question to the Holder of this Note. Such notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of such action and shall specify (y) in the case of a dividend or distribution, the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend or distribution and the date as of which holders of shares of Preferred Stock of record shall participate in such dividend, or distribution, and (z) in the case of a Business Combination dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the date on which such Business

10

Combination, dissolution, liquidation or winding up shall take place and the date as of which the holders of Capital Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Capital Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Business Combination, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such written notice shall be given at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the action in question and not less than ten (10) business Days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company's stock transfer books are closed in respect thereof. The Holder shall keep such notice and any information contained therein confidential, provided that: (A) this obligation of confidentiality does not apply to information which (i) was lawfully in Holder's possession prior to any disclosure by the Company, (ii) is generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Holder, or its employees, agents, representatives or others acting on Holder's behalf, or (iii) becomes available to Holder on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or its representatives provided that the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company in respect thereof; and (B) Holder may disclose such notice and information to a limited group of Holder's directors, officers, employees, attorneys or other professional advisors who are participating in the evaluation of the transactions and matters that are the subject to such notice and information, each of whom shall be informed of the confidential nature of such information and the existence of the obligation set forth herein.

9.    Taxes on Shares Issued.    The issuance of stock certificates upon conversion of this Note or the Convertible Portion pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 shall be made without charge to the converting Holder for any transfer, stamp or similar tax in respect of the issuance thereof.

10.    Reservation of Shares.    The Company shall reserve, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares, or out of shares held in its treasury, sufficient shares of Preferred Stock to provide for the conversion, based on the Conversion Price from time to time in effect, of the full principal amount of this Note from time to time outstanding. The Company covenants that all shares of Preferred Stock which may be issued upon conversion of this Note or the Convertible Portion will upon issuance be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

        11.    Events of Default.

        (a)   Each of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:

        (i)    if an Event of Default other than as specified in clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 11(a) above shall occur, the Holder of this Note may, at its option, by notice in writing to the Company, declare the unpaid principal of this Note, together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, to be forthwith due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable; and

        (ii)   if an Event of Default specified in clause (iv) or clause (v) of Section 11(a) above shall occur, the unpaid principal of this Note, together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be and become immediately due and payable;

        (iii)  if any Event of Default shall occur, the Holder of this Note shall have the Conversion Right specified in Section 6 thereof.

        (c)   The rights and remedies of the Holder of this Note upon the occurrence of an Event of Default set forth above are in addition to and not in derogation of any other rights such Holder may have under applicable law.

12.    Rank.    This Note shall rank senior to all indebtedness of the Company, whether presently existing or hereinafter incurred, with the exception of (i) all obligations owed to Transamerica Business Credit Corporation ("TA") under that certain Master Lease Agreement between the Company and TA dated as of July 6, 1998 and (ii) such future secured indebtedness of the Company as constitutes Permitted Indebtedness within the meaning of the Purchase Agreement.

        (e)   The Company agrees to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, in the event any sum payable pursuant to this Note is not paid when due.

        (f)    If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Company, or if the Holder of this Note claims this Note has been lost, destroyed or willfully taken and provides an indemnity bond or agreement or other security sufficient, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, to protect the Company and any of its officers, directors, employees or representatives from any loss which any of them may suffer if this Note is replaced (an "Indemnity"), then the Company shall issue a replacement Note of like tenor and dated the date of this Note.

        (g)   The Company shall, at its expense and upon written request of the Holder of this Note and surrender of this Note for such purpose, issued new Notes in exchange therefor in such denominations of at least $300,000 as shall be specified by the Holder of this Note, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the then unpaid principal amount of this Note and substantially in the form of this Note, with appropriate insertions and variations, and dated the date of this Note.

14

waiver or relinquishment of that or any other right or power for all or any other time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the acceptance by the Holder of any payment hereunder which is less than the payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any rights or remedies available to the Holder hereunder or by law at that time or at any subsequent time or nullify any prior exercise of any such right or remedy, except as and to the extent otherwise provided by law.
