UniPixel Announces Opcuity™ Finger Print Resistant Film

Company’s Optical Thin Film Research and Development Yields Advanced Finger Print Resistant Films Applicable to Any Touch Screen Surface

The Woodlands, TX (May 13, 2008) — Uni-Pixel, Inc. (OTCBB: UNXL), the developer of color display technology called Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter (“TMOS”), today announced it has developed a unique new thin film it calls Opcuity™ FPR (Finger Print Resistant) that can be applied to any touch screen surface to prevent finger prints while maintaining an optically clear path to the underlying display.  The film also provides scratch protection, anti-glare and offers a silky smooth touch interface for device users’ fingers.  The unique optical properties of Opcuity FPR can also provide enhanced viewing capabilities in some cases.

According to DisplaySearch, the touch screen market is forecasted to reach more than 660 million units by 2015—indicating a significant market opportunity for UniPixel’s Opcuity FPR.

According to Mr. Reed Killion, President and CEO of UniPixel, “Our engineering teams continue to make great strides toward the commercialization of our TMOS display technology.  A key element of our TMOS display system is the Opcuity thin films we intend to supply as a material to our TMOS display manufacturing licensees.  Today’s announcement signals UniPixel’s core competency in the thin films arena and we’re breaking new ground in many of its facets.  We believe the Opcuity FPR film is a timely discovery and offers superior touch and optical benefits to the exploding touch screen market segment.”

Killion concluded, “UniPixel has successfully developed and tested a volume production process and are now in position to take Opcuity FPR to market.  Based on these results, we have begun discussions with potential partners for distribution of Opcuity FPR. The Opcuity FPR film offers an immediate and clear path to commercial production revenues for UniPixel that will help establish the foundation for our TMOS licensing and Opcuity film sales business.”

UniPixel executives will be available to discuss its Opcuity FPR film at the coming SID DisplayWeek, to be held in Los Angeles, CA the week of May 19.
