        WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers desire to purchase from the Company, shares of the Company's Series E-1 Senior Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Series E-1 Preferred Stock"), and/or shares of the Company's Series E-2 Senior Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Series E-2 Preferred Stock"), upon the terms and provisions hereinafter set forth;

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

SECTION 1. SALE AND PURCHASE OF PREFERRED STOCK

        (a)   The Company agrees to sell to the Purchasers and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein or made pursuant hereto, the Purchasers severally agree to purchase from the Company at the Closing, the number of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and/or Series E-2 Preferred Stock set forth opposite each Purchaser's name on Schedule 1 hereto. The shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and/or Series E-2 Preferred Stock being acquired under this Agreement (as hereinafter defined), or upon the conversion of promissory notes listed on Schedule 2 hereto and issued pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2002, by and among the Company and the purchasers that are parties thereto (collectively, the "Bridge Notes") are referred to herein as the "Shares", and contain rights and privileges as more fully set forth in the Certificate of Designation and Determination of Preferences of the Series E-1 Senior Preferred Stock of the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 (the "Series E-1 Certificate") and/or the Certificate of Designation and Determination of Preferences of the Series E-2 Senior Preferred Stock of the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 (the "Series E-2 Certificate"), as applicable.

        (b)   The aggregate purchase price to be paid to the Company by each Purchaser for that portion of the Shares to be purchased by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be the amount set forth opposite such Purchaser's name on Schedule 1 hereto. No further payment shall be required from the Purchasers for their portion of the Shares.

        (c)   The parties further acknowledge and agree that the Shares are not intended to constitute "preferred stock" as that term is used in Section 305(b)(4) of the Code and Treasury Regulation § 1.305-5(a). Except as required by any Taxing Authority or court, the Company and the Purchasers agree to treat the Shares for Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as not constituting "preferred stock", and to take no position inconsistent with such characterization on any Tax Return or before any Taxing Authority or court.

        (d)   The Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares it will receive on the Closing Date to fund future development opportunities, for working capital purposes and for such other purposes as necessary or advisable in the sole judgment of the Company's Board of Directors.

EXHIBIT A-1

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
AND DETERMINATION OF PREFERENCES OF
THE SERIES E-1 SENIOR PREFERRED STOCK
OF
DISPLAYTECH, INC.
A COLORADO CORPORATION

        1.    Designation.    Six hundred thousand (600,000) shares of preferred stock ate hereby designated Series E-1 Senior Preferred Stock (hereinafter referred to as "Series E-1 Preferred Stock") with the preferences, rights and privileges and the qualifications, restrictions and limitations thereof, specified in this Certificate.

        2.    Dividends.    

            (a)    General Dividend Obligations.    The holders of shares of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive from the Company, with respect to each share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock held, a dividend accruing at the nominal rate of fifty (50) percent per annum, compounded monthly (based on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) from the date of issue. Such dividend shall accrue in shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and shall he payable, either in shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock or in cash at the option of the Board of Directors of the Company, at such time(s) as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine, subject to the limitation in Section 3(f).

            (b)    Limitation on Dividends, Repurchases and Redemptions.    So long as any shares of Series E-1 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 E-1 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 E-1 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 E-1 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 E-1 Preferred Stock.    In the event that the Company shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (a "Liquidation Event"), 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 E-1 Preferred Stock shall have received, for each share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock held, an amount in cash per share equal to (i) three times the Liquidation Value, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on the Liquidation Value, if a Liquidation Event occurs (or a binding agreement regarding a Liquidation Event is entered into) prior to the expiration of the Series E Initial Funding Period, or (ii) the Liquidation Value, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, if a


    Liquidation Event does not occur (and a binding agreement regarding a Liquidation Event is not entered into) prior to the expiration of the Series E Initial Funding Period (the sums described above are herein referred to as the "Series E-1 Liquidation Preference"). The "Liquidation Value" means $100.00 per share with respect to the Series E-1 Preferred Stock. Upon the receipt by the holders of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock of an amount per share equal to the Series E-1 Liquidation Preference, each share of Series E-1 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 Rata Payments.    If, upon any Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full of the Series E-1 Liquidation Preference for each share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding, then the assets of the Company remaining shall be ratably distributed among the holders of Series E-1 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 Event.    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 Event for purposes of this Section 3; provided that in the event of such a transaction, the Series E-1 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 Event, 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 E-1 Preferred Stock at their respective addresses as shall appear on the records of the Company.

            (e)    Status.    The Series E-1 Preferred Stock shall rank senior in all respects, including the payment on liquidation and redemption, to all equity securities of the Company other than as set forth in the following two sentences with respect to the Series E-2 Preferred Stock (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). If a Liquidation Event occurs (or a binding agreement regarding a Liquidation Event is entered into) prior to the expiration of the Series B Initial Funding Period, the Series E-1 Liquidation Preference shall rank senior to the Series E-2 Liquidation Preference. If a Liquidation Event does not occur (and a binding agreement regarding a Liquidation Event is not entered into) prior to the expiration of the Series E Initial Funding Period, the Series E-l Liquidation Preference shall be paid on a pari passu basis with the Series E-2 Liquidation Preference. Other than as set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 3(e), the Series E-1 Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Preferred Stock shall be pari passu in all respects and neither one shall be considered to be a Junior Security to the other.

            (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, without the written consent of Hewlett-Packard, on or with respect to the Series E-1 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.

2



        4.    Voting.    

            (a)    General.    In addition to any voting rights provided in the Company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws, the Series E-1 Preferred Stock shall vote together with the Series E-2 Preferred Stock and the Common Stock as a single class on all actions to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company; provided that the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class) shall be required for any action subject to the vote of stockholders of the Company. Each share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to four hundred (400) votes. The holders of Series E-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company.

            (b)    No Dilution or Impairment; No Changes in Capital Stock.    Without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Preferred Stock combined, the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, liquidation, sale, lease, pledge or other transfer of assets, 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 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, this Certificate of Designation or the Shareholders' Rights Agreement; provided, however, that the issuance of any of the following will not be considered to violate this Section 4(b): (A) Common Stock issued for consideration amounting to less than $100,000 in any single transaction, provided that the aggregate amount of all such transactions shall not exceed $500,000; (B) Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Company's preferred stock or other Convertible Securities; (C) the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued upon conversion of the HP Convertible Note; (D) except as provided in Section 4(c), Capital Stock to be issued under any Stock Incentive Plan; (E) Capital Stock to be issued to holders of any other Convertible Securities existing as of the date of filing hereof upon conversion of all or any portion of such Convertible Securities; or (F) Series E-1 Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Preferred Stock issued during the Series E Initial Funding Period for total consideration amounting to not more than $2,000,000 to a shareholder of the Company (and/or such shareholder's Affiliates) existing as of the date of filing hereof. The Company will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms, and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holders of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock (as such rights are set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, this Certificate of Designations and the Shareholders' Rights Agreement), against any dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Preferred Stock combined, the Company, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, (i) will not authorize, create or issue any shares or class or series of equity or equity-linked security which is senior to, or pari passu with, the Series E-1 Preferred Stock as to dividend payments or other distributions or amounts payable upon a liquidation Event or otherwise (except for the issuance of shares of Series E-2 Preferred Stock), (ii) will not enter into any agreement or instrument which would restrict or otherwise materially adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement, this Certificate of Designation or the Shareholders' Rights Agreement (provided that no written consent of holders of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and/or Series E-2 Preferred Stock shall be required for the Company to enter into the HP Convertible Note or the HP Note Purchase Agreement), (iii) will not amend its certificate of incorporation or by-laws, by merger, consolidation or otherwise, in any manner which would impair or reduce the rights of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, an amendment which would alter or change the rights, privileges or preferences of the holders of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock, (iv) except as provided in Section 7 hereof, will not redeem, repurchase or otherwise

3



    acquire any shares of Capital Stock of the Company or any other rights or options to subscribe for or purchase any Capital Stock of the Company or any other Convertible Securities (other than (x) any such securities held by Hewlett-Packard or Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft or (y) an aggregate amount of such transactions not to exceed $50,000), (v) will not approve any transaction that results in a liquidation (whether actual or deemed) pursuant to Section 3 hereof, (vi) will not approve any recapitalization of the Company's Capital Stock, and (vii) will not authorize, create or issue any shares or class or series of Capital Stock (with the exception of any shares described in clauses (A) through (F) above).

            (c)    Options.    Without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Preferred Stock combined, the Company will not take any action required by a Stock Incentive Plan to be approved by a vote of the Company's shareholders.

            (d)    Indebtedness.    Without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Preferred Stock combined, the Company will not (i) have outstanding Indebtedness (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) in excess of $15,000,000 in aggregate principal amount; or (ii) enter into any agreement, amendment or modification with respect to any Indebtedness (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) or Capitalized Lease (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement), as applicable, which agreement, amendment or modification under clause (ii) restricts or prohibits (or was intended primarily to restrict or prohibit) the Company from making any payments under, or otherwise performing under, the Stock Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that no written consent of holders of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and/or Series E-2 Preferred Stock shall be required for the Company to enter into the HP Convertible Note or the HP Note Purchase Agreement.

            (e)    No Change in Business.    Without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Preferred Stock combined, the Company will not change substantially the character of its business as conducted on the date of filing hereof.

            (f)    Restricted Payments; Investments.    Without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Preferred Stock combined, the Company will not declare or make or permit to be declared or made any Restricted Payment (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) or any Investment (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement).

            (g)    Affiliate Loans and Guaranties.    Without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Preferred Stock combined, the Company will not incur or permit to exist any of the following, except with respect to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; (a) other than as reflected in the HP Convertible Note, any obligation of the Company to repay money borrowed owing to any Affiliate of the Company or any other holder of shares of the Capital Stock of the Company; or (b) any obligation, to any Person, which obligation is assumed or guaranteed by the Company and which is an obligation of any Affiliate of the Company or any other holder of shares of the Capital Stock of the Company (excluding, in the case of clause (b), any obligation of the Company which is not owed to an Affiliate of the Company or to an Affiliate or to any other holder of shares of the Capital Stock of the Company). This Section 4(g) shall not apply to (1) any obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement or with respect to shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock or Series E-2 Preferred Stock, (2) Investments (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) in the Company or (3) Indebtedness (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) identified on Schedule 4.19 to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

4

            (i)    Liens.    Without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Preferred Stock combined, the Company will not create, permit to exist or suffer to exist, any Lien (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) upon or with respect to any of its assets or income, other than Permitted Liens (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) and existing liens set forth on Schedule 4.14 to the Stock Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not in any way hypothecate or create or permit to exist any Lien (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) on or other interest in any of its Intellectual Property (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement), and will not, except in the ordinary course of business, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, collaterally assign, exchange or otherwise dispose of any substantial part of its Intellectual Property (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement); provided, that the Company shall not be prohibited from granting licenses to its Intellectual Property (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) to third parties in the ordinary course of business.

        5.    Shares to be Retired.    Any share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock 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 E-1 Preferred Stock.

        6.    Preemptive Rights.    The holders of Series E-1 Preferred Stock shall not have preemptive rights.

        7.    Call.    

            (a)    Call at the Company's Option.    Subject to the other provisions of this Section 7, the Company shall have the right to purchase any or all outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock at any time (the "Call"). Any purchase of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be at a price per share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock equal to (i) three times the Liquidation Value, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on the Liquidation Value, if a Call Notice (as hereafter defined) is given prior to the expiration of the Series E Initial Funding Period, or (ii) the Liquidation Value, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, if a Call Notice is given after the expiration of the Series E Initial Funding Period (the sums described above are herein referred to as the "Call Price").

            (b)    Procedures for Call at the Company's Option.    The Company's right to Call the Series E-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof shall be conditioned upon the Company giving

5



    notice (the "Call Notice"), by first class mail, postage prepaid, of the exercise of the Call to the holders of the Series E-1 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 E-1 Preferred Stock; (vi) that dividends on the shares to be purchased shall cease to accrue following such Call Date; (vii) that such Call is mandatory; and (viii) 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 be in default in the payment of the Call Price (including any accrued and unpaid dividends to (and including) the Call Date), (A) dividends on the shares of the Series E-1 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 E-1 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.

        8.    Definitions.    As used herein, the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:

            "Affiliate", when used with respect to any Person, means (i) if such Person is a corporation, any officer or director thereof and any Person which is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner (by itself or as part of any group) of more than five percent (5%) of any class of any equity security (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules, regulations and interpretations thereunder) thereof, and, if such beneficial owner is a partnership, any general partner thereof, or if such beneficial owner is a corporation, any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such beneficial owner, or any officer or director of such beneficial owner or of any corporation occupying any such control relationship, (ii) if such Person is a partnership, any general or limited partner thereof, and (iii) any other Person which, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with such Person.

DISPLAYTECH, INC.
A COLORADO CORPORATION

        1.    Designation.    Four hundred thousand (400,000) shares of preferred stock are hereby designated Series E-2 Senior Preferred Stock (hereinafter referred to as "Series E-2 Preferred Stock") with the preferences, rights and privileges and the qualifications, restrictions and limitations thereof, specified in this Certificate.

        2.    Dividends.    

            (a)    General Dividend Obligations.    The holder of shares of the Series E-2 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive from the Company, with respect to each share of Series E-2 Preferred Stock held, a dividend accruing at the nominal rate of fifty (50) percent per annum, compounded monthly (based on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) from the date of issue. Such dividend shall accrue in shares of Series E-2 Preferred Stock and shall be payable, either in shares of Series E-2 Preferred Stock or in cash at the option of the Board of Directors of the Company, at such time(s) as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine, subject to the limitation in Section 3(f).

            (b)    Limitation on Dividends, Repurchases and Redemptions.    So long as any shares of Series E-2 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 E-2 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 E-2 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 E-2 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 E-2 Preferred Stock.    In the event that the Company shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (a "Liquidation Event") 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 E-2 Preferred Stock shall have received, for each share of Series E-2 Preferred Stock held, an amount in cash per share equal to the Liquidation Value, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (the "Series E-2 Liquidation Preference"). The "Liquidation Value" means $100.00 per share with respect to the Series E-2 Preferred Stock. Upon the receipt by the holders of shares of Series E-2 Preferred Stock of an amount per share equal to the Series E-2 Liquidation-Preference,


    each share of Series E-2 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 Rata Payments.    If, upon any Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full of the Series E-2 Liquidation Preference for each share of Series E-2 Preferred Stock then outstanding, then the assets of the Company remaining shall be ratably distributed among the holders of Series E-2 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 Event.    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 he deemed to be a Liquidation Event for purposes of this Section 3; provided that in the event of such a transaction, the Series E-2 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 Event, 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 E-2 Preferred Stock at their respective addresses as shall appear on the records of the Company.

If a Liquidation Event occurs (or a binding agreement regarding a Liquidation Event is entered into) prior to (he expiration of the Series E Initial Funding Period, the Series E-2 Liquidation Preference shall rank junior to the Series E-l Liquidation Preference. If a Liquidation Event does not occur (and a binding agreement regarding a Liquidation Event is not entered into) prior to the expiration of the Series E Initial Funding Period, the Series E-2 Liquidation Preference shall be paid on a pari passu basis with the Series E-l Liquidation Preference. Other than as set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 3(e), the Series E-1 Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Preferred Stock shall be pari passu in all respects and neither one shall be considered to be a Junior Security to the other.

            (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, without the written consent of Hewlett-Packard, on or with respect to the Series E-2 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.

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

February     , 2003

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We understand that you are considering a possible negotiated financing transaction (the "Transaction") with Displaytech, Inc., (the "Company"), a Colorado corporation, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") and the other documents and agreements referenced therein or contemplated in connection therewith, and the schedules and attachments thereto, dated February 11, 2003, (collectively, with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the "Purchase Documents"). In connection with your consideration of the Transaction, if executed, the Stock Purchase Agreement and pursuant to the Purchase Documents, we, or others acting on our behalf may furnish to you, either orally, in writing, or by inspection, certain non-public information, material and documents (collectively, "Proprietary Information") regarding the Company and its business, assets, financial condition, operations and prospects, which may be helpful in evaluating the Transaction, or which may be required in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Documents. With respect to such Proprietary Information, we hereby agree as follows:

            1.     All Proprietary Information heretofore or hereafter furnished to you by us, or on our behalf shall be deemed confidential and shall be kept in confidence under appropriate safeguards. The term Proprietary Information, as used herein, does not include any information which (i) was lawfully in your possession prior to any disclosure by us, (ii) is generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by you, your employees, your agents, your representatives or others acting on your behalf, or (iii) becomes available to you 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 us in respect thereof.

            2.     It is agreed you will not, without our prior written consent: (i) disclose or reveal any Proprietary Information to any persons, firms, or entities except to a limited group of your directors, officers, employees, attorneys, or professional advisors who are participating in the evaluation of the Transaction (collectively, your "Representatives"), each of whom shall be informed by you of the confidential nature of the Proprietary Information and the existence of this letter agreement; nor, (ii) use the Proprietary Information in any way detrimental to us or for any purpose other than in connection with the Transaction. It is agreed that you will be responsible for any disclosure of the Proprietary Information by your Representatives other than pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this letter agreement.

            3.     You are aware, and will advise your Representatives who are informed as to the matters which are subject to this letter agreement, that the United States securities laws prohibit any person who has received from an issuer material, non-public information concerning the matters which are the subject of this letter agreement from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or from communicating such information to any other person, under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities. Furthermore, upon our written request, you will promptly return to us all copies of the Proprietary Information and deliver to us or destroy all notes, correspondence, documents or other records based thereon which are then in your possession.

            4.     It is agreed that any written or tangible material containing or reflecting any of our Proprietary Information which you prepare will be considered Proprietary Information and will be held in confidence by you.

            5.     Notwithstanding any provision of this letter agreement to the contrary, in the event that you are requested or required by operation of law, whether in a judicial, administrative or governmental proceeding or otherwise to disclose any Proprietary Information, you agree to



    provide us with prompt notice of such request and the related proceedings so that we may seek an appropriate protective order or waive your compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this letter agreement. If, as a result of any such request or requirements, you are, in the written opinion of your counsel, compelled to disclose Proprietary Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or other censure or penalty, you may disclose such Proprietary Information to such tribunal without liability hereunder provided that you comply with the notice provisions of this Section 5.

            6.     Except as may be specifically provided hereafter or in the Stock Purchase Agreement, we shall not be deemed to make or have made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any Proprietary Information which we furnish to you, and we shall have no liability to you or any of your Representatives resulting from the use of any Proprietary Information by you or your Representatives.

            7.     The provisions of this letter agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

            8.     This letter agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and all signatures need not appear on any one counterpart.

            9.     This letter agreement may be waived, amended or modified only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which such waiver, amendment of modification is sought to be enforced, and such written instrument shall set forth specifically the provisions of this letter agreement that are to be so waived, amended or modified.

            10.   It is agreed that prior to you or any subsequent Transferees, as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement, transferring any shares purchased under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company shall have received the signed written agreement of any such Transferees agreeing to be bound by this letter agreement

            11.   This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (other than any conflict of laws rule which might result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction).

            12.   This letter agreement shall terminate two (2) years after the date upon which the Company's disclosure obligations under the Purchase Documents shall have terminated.

        Please indicate your agreement with the foregoing by executing (in the space below) this letter agreement between us as of the date first above written.

        2.1.    Board of Directors.    

        (a)   Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the effective date of the provisions of this Section 2.1 is July 1, 2003.

        (b)   The Series E Investors shall at all times vote their shares of Series E Stock so that the Bylaws of the Company provide that the Board shall consist of not less than three (3) and no more than fourteen (14) directors, the exact number of which shall be fixed from time to time within such limits by resolution of the Board.

        (c)   The Series E Investors agree to vote their shares of Series E Stock for the election to the Board of (i) two designees of the Fleming Investors, (ii) two designees of InterWest, (iii) two designees of each other Series E Investor that purchased at least $2,000,000 of Series E Stock on or prior to June 30, 2003, and (iv) one designee of each other Series E Investor that purchased at least $1,000,000 (but less than $2,000,000) of Series E Stock on or prior to June 30, 2003.

        (d)   The obligations set forth herein with respect to the election of directors apply each time the shareholders of the Company meet, or act by written consent in lieu of meeting, for the purpose of electing directors.

        (e)   The Series E Investors agree to approve and continue to support a resolution adopted by the Board authorizing the formation of (i) a Compensation Committee, consisting of one director designated by each of the Fleming Investors, InterWest and each Series E Investor described in Sections 2.1(c)(iii) and 2.1(c)(iv), and (ii) an Audit Committee, consisting of one director designated by

2



each of the Fleming Investors, InterWest and each Series E Investor described in Sections 2.1(c)(iii) and 2.1(c)(iv).

        (f)    The Company agrees that at all times during which the Series E Investors are required to vote their shares of Series E Stock to elect the Series E Investors' designees to the Board in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall cause (i) the appropriate Series E Investor designees so elected to be appointed to such Compensation Committee, which committee shall have, among other powers, exclusive authority to grant stock options/restricted stock to employees, officers and directors of, and consultants to, the Company at all times on and after July l, 2003, and (ii) the appropriate Series E Investor designees so elected to be appointed to the Audit Committee.

        (g)   The Series E Investors shall be allowed, from time to time, to change their respective designees to the Board, in which case the Series E Investors agree to vote their shares of Series E Stock for the removal of such Series E Investors' existing designees on the Board and for the election of the person that such Series E Investors then designate in his place. The parties acknowledge that the shareholders of the Company may remove any individual elected to the Board in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Company's Bylaws and the Colorado Business Corporation Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Series E Investor agrees not to vote his shares of Series E Stock for the removal of any individual elected to the Board in accordance with this Section 2.1 unless such individual (i) engages in fraudulent or dishonest conduct or gross abuse of authority or discretion with respect to the Company, as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board, (ii) competes with the Company or performs services for any other person, firm or corporation who competes with the Company (provided that merely owning stock or other equity in a competing firm or corporation, without performing services for its board of directors, or as an officer, executive, employee or consultant, shall not be deemed a breach of this restriction), or (iii) breaches his fiduciary duty to the Company, as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. The Series E Investors shall not be obligated to vote their shares of Series E Stock for the election of any individual who has been removed from the Board in accordance with this Section 2.1(g). If the designee of any Series E Investor has been removed from the Board in accordance with this Section 2.1(g), the Series E Investor whose designee has been removed shall have the right to designate a different individual for election to the Board and the Series E Investors agree to vote their shares of Series E Stock to elect such new designee to the Board in accordance with Sections 2.1(c), (d) and (e).

        2.2.    Transferees.    The provisions of this Section 2 shall be binding upon the successors-in-interest to any of the Series E Stock held by the Series E Investors.

3.    Transfer Restrictions.    

        3.1    General.    Each Series E Investor agrees not to Transfer any shares of Series E Stock, unless such Transfer is made in compliance with Sections 3.2 and 3.3; provided, that no such consent shall be required at any time (but written notice to the other Series E Investors shall be required) in connection with a Transfer of shares of Series E Stock by a Series E Investor to its Affiliate (each such permitted transfer as described in this Section 3.1, a "Permitted Transfer" and each such transferee, a "Permitted Transferee"). The Company shall not permit the transfer of any of the Series E Stock on its books or issue a new certificate representing any of the Series E Stock (other than in connection with a public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) unless and until the person to whom such security is to be transferred shall have executed a joinder agreement, pursuant to which such person becomes a party to this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all of the provisions hereof as if such person were a Series E Investor. No Transfer of Series E Stock in violation of this Agreement shall be made or recorded on the books of the Company.

3



        3.2    Right of First Refusal.    

        (a)   Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1, if a Series E Investor or Permitted Transferee thereof (the "Offering Holder"), at any time or from time to time, receives a bona fide offer which such Offering Holder wishes to accept (a "Transfer Offer") from any third party (the "Offeror") for the Transfer of shares of the Series E Stock (the "Transfer Stock") then owned by such Offering Holder, the Offering Holder shall (a) cause the Transfer Offer to be reduced to a written certification specifying the price, payment terms and other material terms and conditions of such Transfer Offer and (b) promptly (and in no event less than sixty (60) days prior to the consummation of the proposed sale pursuant to the Transfer Offer) provide written notice (the "Right of First Refusal Notice") of such Transfer Offer to the other Series E Investors (the "Other Investors"). The Right of First Refusal Notice shall contain an irrevocable offer to sell the Transfer Stock to the Other Investors at the same price and upon substantially the same terms and conditions as the terms and conditions contained in the Transfer Offer and shall be accompanied by a true and correct copy of the Transfer Offer and written certification (which collectively shall identify the Offeror, the Transfer Stock, the price contained in the Transfer Offer and all the other terms and conditions of the Transfer Offer).

        (b)   Each of the Other Investors shall have the right and option, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Right of First Refusal Notice, to accept irrevocably such offer as to its pro rata portion of the Transfer Stock (measured on the basis of a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Series E Stock held by such Other Investor, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Series E Stock held by all Other Investors who wish to purchase Transfer Stock). Each of the Other Investors that desires to exercise such option shall provide the Offering Holder with written notice (specifying the maximum number of shares of the Transfer Stock as to which it as willing to accept the offer) within such 30-day period. If any Other Investor wishes to purchase less than all the shares of Transfer Stock which it is entitled to purchase in accordance with the preceding sentence, then the shares of Transfer Stock that such Other Investors decline to purchase shall be allocated among the Other Investors who wish to purchase such shares according to the same formula set forth above, mutatis mutandis. Any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) shall close at the executive offices of the Company, unless otherwise agreed to by the Offering Holder and the Other Investors, no later than the thirtieth (30th) day following the Offering Holder's receipt of the last written acceptance from the Other Investors.

        (c)   If at the end of the 30-day period following the giving of the Right of First Refusal Notice, (i) the Other Investors collectively shall not have accepted the offer as to all the shares of Transfer Stock covered thereby or (ii) any Other Investor shall have failed to exercise its tag-along rights pursuant to Section 3.3, then the Offering Holder shall have thirty (30) days in which to sell the Transfer Stock to the Offeror, at a price not less than that contained in the Right of First Refusal Notice and on terms and conditions not more favorable to the Offeror than were contained in the Right of first Refusal Notice; provided that the Other Investors shall have the right to review and copy all agreements and instruments evidencing such sale to the Offeror and all other documents related thereto. If such a sale is not made to the Offeror within such 30-day period, then no such sale may be made without first providing a Right of First Refusal Notice to the Other Investor.

        (d)   At the closing of any purchase of Transfer Stock pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Offering Holder shall deliver certificates representing such Transfer Stock duly endorsed for transfer, and accompanied by all requisite stock transfer forms, and the Series E Investors shall cause the Company to register such transfer in the Company's Stockholders' Registry Book. Any Transfer Stock purchased pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be free and clear of any and all liens, claims, options, charges, encumbrances, voting trusts, irrevocable proxies or other rights of any kind or nature (other than those arising under this Agreement or the Company's Articles of Incorporation) and at the closing of the purchase the Offering Holder shall represent and warrant to such effect. At such closing, the Other

4



Investor or Offeror and the Offering Holder shall execute such additional documents as are otherwise reasonably necessary or appropriate, consistent with the terms hereof.

        3.3.    "Tag-Along" Rights.    

        (a)   Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the contrary, within the 30-day period described in Section 3.2(b), each Other Investor shall have the right, but not the obligation (in lieu of exercising its right of purchase described in Section 3.2(b)), to elect that the Offering Holder be obligated to require, as a condition to its proposed Transfer, that the Offeror purchase from such Other Investor up to the number of shares of Series E Stock derived by multiplying the total number of shares of Series E Stock owned by each such Other Investor by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of such shares then owned by such Offering Holder that are to be purchased by the Offeror and the denominator of which is the total number of such shares owned prior to such sale by such Offering Holder and such Other Investors who elect to participate in such sale. Any such sales by such Other Investors shall be at the same price per share of Series E Stock, and on the same terms and conditions, as the proposed Transfer by the Offering Holder. Each such Other Investor shall be required to bear a proportionate share of the expenses of the transaction, including, without limitation, legal, accounting and investment banking fees and expenses.

        (b)   If an Other Investor desires to participate in a sale pursuant to Section 3.3(a), it shall provide written notice (the "Tag-Along Notice") to the Offering Holder prior to the expiration of the 30-day period described in Section 3.2(b), setting forth the number of shares of Series E Stock such Other Investor elects to include in such sale. The Tag-Along Notice given by such Other Investor shall constitute such Other Investor's binding agreement to sell such shares of Series E Stock as are included therein on the terms and conditions applicable to such sale.

4.    Miscellaneous.    

        4.1.    Entire Agreement; Amendment.    This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof.

        4.2.    Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Colorado as such laws are applied to agreements between Colorado residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Colorado.

        4.3.    Successors and Assigns.    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.

        4.4.    Notices.    Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt by the party to be notified (including by facsimile) or upon deposit with the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid or by recognized overnight mail courier, as applicable, and addressed to

5



the party to be notified (a) if to a party other than the Company, at such party's address set forth at the end of this Agreement or at such other address as such party shall have furnished the Company in writing, or, until any such party so furnishes an address to the Company, then to and at the address of the last holder of the shares covered by this Agreement who has so furnished an address to the Company, or (b) if to the Company, at its address set forth at the end of this Agreement, or at such other address as the Company shall have furnished to the parties in writing.

        4.5    Severability.    Any invalidity, illegality or limitation on the enforceability of this Agreement or any part thereof by any party, whether arising by reason of the law of the respective party's domicile or otherwise, shall in no way affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement with respect to other parties. If any provision of this Agreement shall be judicially determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

        4.6.    Titles and Subtitles.    The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

        4.7.    Specific Performance.    The parties acknowledge that any breach or violation of the agreements contained in this Agreement would be likely to be highly injurious to the non-breaching parties. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that, in addition to any other remedies which may be available, the non-breaching parties shall be entitled to enforcement of the rights granted herein by a decree of specific performance entered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

        4.8.    Attorney's Fees.    If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, costs and necessary disbursements, in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

        4.9.    Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures.    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by facsimile, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

        4.10.    Controlling Agreement.    The terms and conditions of this Agreement supercede those of any prior agreement relating to the subject matter herein. This Agreement and any other agreements referenced herein represent the full and complete understanding among the Company and the Series E Investors relating to the subject matter herein, and any provisions to the contrary contained in any prior agreement are hereby deemed and declared to be null, void and of no force or effect.

B.    Assumptions    

        For purposes of this opinion letter, we have relied, without investigation, upon the following assumptions:

            1.     The Certificates of Designation have been accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado.

            2.     The Purchasers have satisfied those legal requirements applicable to them that are necessary to make the Transaction Documents and all other documents or certificates signed by them in connection with the Purchase Agreement enforceable against them in accordance with their terms. Underlying this assumption is each of the following assumptions:

              (a)   Each Purchaser has legal existence;

              (b)   The purchase of Series E-l Shares by each Purchaser and the execution, delivery and performance of the respective Transaction Documents and all other documents or certificates relating to each such Purchaser have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on the part of each such Purchaser and are valid as to, binding upon and enforceable against, each such Purchaser; and

              (c)   Persons acting on behalf of the Purchasers, including their officers, agents and fiduciaries, were duly authorized to act in such capacity.

            3.     Each document submitted to us for review is accurate and complete.

            4.     The parties to whom this opinion letter is directed, and any agents acting for them in connection with the transactions described herein, have acted in good faith and without notice of

2



    any fact or circumstance which would cause the factual assumptions stated herein to be inaccurate in any way.

            5.     The restrictions on any future transfers of the Series E-l Shares, as set forth in the Transaction Documents, including but not limited to Section 6 of the Purchase Agreement, will be enforced in accordance with their terms.

            6.     All statutes, judicial and administrative decisions, and rules and regulations of governmental agencies, constituting the law examined by us, are generally available (in terms of access and distribution of such authorities following publication or other release) to lawyers practicing in Colorado, and are in a format that makes legal research reasonably feasible.

            7.     The constitutionality or validity of any relevant statute, rule, regulation or governmental agency action is not in issue.

            8.     The Company and all Purchasers will act in accordance with, and will refrain from taking any action that is forbidden by, the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents.

            9.     The representations and warranties made by the Company and each Purchaser in the Transaction Documents to which they are a party are true and correct.

            10.   There has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence in connection with the negotiation, authorization or execution of the Transaction Documents.

            11.   The conduct of the Company and the Purchasers has complied with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing and conscionability.

            12.   There are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of the Transaction Documents.

            13.   Purchasers would not have entered into or consummated the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement unless such transactions included the right to designate other persons who would have the right to exchange their shares of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for shares of Series E-B Convertible Preferred Stock and shares of the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock for shares of Series E-D Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreements (the "Designees' Exchange Right").

            14.   The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the Designees' Exchange Right is an intangible benefit to the Company and that the consideration to be received for the Designees' Shares is adequate.

        Whenever a statement herein is qualified by the phrase "to our knowledge," or by any other phrase of similar import, or where it is noted that nothing has been brought to our attention, it means that in the course of our representation of the Company in connection with the transactions described above no information has come to the attention of John E. Moye, James T. Burghardt, Sheri K. Visani or David C. Roos, the only attorneys of this firm who are currently working on matters for the Company. We have not undertaken, nor were we obligated or expected to undertake, an independent investigation to determine the accuracy of the facts or other information as to which our knowledge is sought, and any limited inquiry undertaken by us during the preparation of this opinion letter should not be regarded as such an investigation. No inference as to our knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any such statement should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company.

C.    Opinion    

        Based upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and subject to the qualifications stated below, we are of the opinion that:

            1.     The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado, with all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

            2.     The Transaction Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

            3.     The Transaction Documents and the terms and provisions of the Series E-l Shares and the Exchange Shares constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, receivership, and other laws related to or affecting creditors' rights generally, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that (a) the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations and (b) provisions (i) purporting to waive or limit rights to trial by jury, oral amendments to written agreements or rights to setoff or (ii) relating to choice of law, submission to jurisdiction, venue or service of process, may be limited by applicable law or considerations of public policy.

            4.     The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder do not (a) result in a violation of any provision of the Articles or Bylaws or any Applicable Laws applicable to the Company or (b) require any Governmental Approval to be obtained on the part of the Company, except those that may be required under state securities or blue sky laws, and such other approvals that have been obtained, and to our knowledge are in effect.

            5.     Upon the filing of the Certificate of Designation and Determination of Preferences of the Series E-1 Senior Preferred Stock, the Certificate of Designation and Determination of Preferences of the Series E-B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Certificate of Designation and Determination of Preferences of the Series E-D Convertible Preferred Stock with the Colorado Secretary of State, the Series E-l Shares, the Exchange Shares and the Designees' Shares will be duly authorized and, upon delivery thereof and payment therefor in accordance with all terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents, the Series E-1 Shares, the Exchange Shares and the Designees' Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

            6.     When the Series E-l Shares and the Exchange Shares are issued in accordance with the Transaction Documents, such shares will be free of preemptive or similar rights contained in the Documents.

            7.     To our knowledge, there is no legal or governmental action, suit or proceeding pending or threatened against the Company in law, equity or otherwise before any court, administrative agency or arbitrator (a) asserting the invalidity of the Transaction Documents, (b) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions provided for in the Transaction Documents, (c) which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability (with respect to the Company) of, the Transaction Documents or (d) which would result in a material adverse change in the assets, properties, liabilities, business affairs, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company. For purposes of the opinion set forth in this paragraph, we have not regarded any legal or governmental actions, investigations or proceedings to be "threatened" unless the potential litigant or Governmental Authority has communicated in writing to the

4



    Company a present intention to initiate such actions, investigations or proceedings against the Company.

            8.     Assuming the accuracy of all representations and warranties made by the Company and the Purchasers in the Transaction Documents and compliance with the terms and provisions of Transaction Documents, it is not necessary in connection with the offer and sale of the Series E-1 Shares to the Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the issuance of the Exchange Shares to the Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Exchange Agreements or the issuance of the Designees' Shares to Purchasers' designees in the manner contemplated by the Exchange Agreements to register the Series E-l Shares, the Exchange Shares or the Designees' Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

D.    Qualifications    

        The opinion set forth herein is subject to the following qualifications:

            1.     Our opinion in paragraph 3 above is based on and limited to our review of the Documents. We express no opinion with respect to the existence of any other agreements, documents or arrangements that may conflict with, or limit the validity or enforceability of, the Transaction Documents.

            2.     Our opinion in paragraph 8 above relates only to registration of securities pursuant to section 5 of the Act, and we express no opinion as to (i) compliance with federal or state requirements for the registration of broker-dealers, (ii) the availability of an exemption from registration under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any particular state or (iii) the accuracy or adequacy of any information given, disclosed or made available to Purchasers or any persons acting on their behalf.

            3.     We assume no obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or developments, including, without limitation, future changes in applicable law, which hereafter may be brought to our attention and which may alter, affect or modify the opinions expressed herein.

            4.     This is a legal opinion. We are relying on the factual representations made by others recited herein, and we make no representation of fact herein.

        This opinion is rendered as of the date first written above solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions described herein. This letter may not in any other respect be used, published, copied, delivered to, quoted or relied upon by any person other than you, or for any other purpose, without our prior written consent.

    Re:
    Displaytech, Inc.
    Sale of Shares of Series E Preferred Stock

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        I am the General Counsel of Displaytech, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Company"), and, as such, I am rendering this opinion in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of February 11, 2003 (the "Purchase Agreement"), among the Company and Fleming US Discovery Fund III, L.P., Fleming US Discovery Offshore Fund III, L.P., and InterWest Capital, Inc., respectively, (collectively, the "Purchasers"), relating to the issuance and sale by the Company, of the Company's Series E-1 Senior Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Series E-1 Preferred Stock") and Series E-2 Senior Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Series E-2 Preferred Stock"). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement. I am rendering this opinion letter to you at the request of the Company pursuant to Section 10.11 of the Purchase Agreement.

        In rendering the opinions set forth below, I have examined and relied upon the originals, copies or specimens, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of the Transaction Documents (as defined below) and such certificates, corporate and public records, agreements and instruments and other documents, including, among other things, the documents delivered on the date hereof, as I have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below. In such examination I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents, agreements and instruments submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents, agreements and instruments of all documents, agreements and instruments submitted to me as copies or specimens, the authenticity of the originals of such documents, agreements and instruments submitted to me as copies or specimens, and the accuracy of the matters set forth in the documents, agreements and instruments I reviewed. As to any facts material to such opinions that were not known to me, I have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company, and of public officials. Except as expressly set forth herein, I have not undertaken any independent investigation (including, without limitation, conducting any review, search or investigation of any public files, records or dockets) to determine the existence or absence of the facts that are material to my opinions, and no inference as to my knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from my reliance on the representations of the Company in connection with the preparation and delivery of this letter.

        In particular, I have examined and relied upon:

            1.     The Purchase Agreement together with the Exhibits and Schedules thereto;

            2.     The Series E Shareholders' Rights Agreement dated February 11, 2003 (the "Series E Shareholders' Agreement");

            3.     Amendment Number 2 to Shareholders' Rights Agreement dated February 11, 2003 (the "Amended Shareholders' Agreement");

            4.     Certificate of Designation and Determination of Preferences of the Series E-l Senior Preferred Stock; Certificate of Designation and Determination of Preferences of the Series E-2 Senior Preferred Stock; Certificate of Designation and Determination of Preferences of the



    Series E-B Convertible Preferred Stock; Certificate of Designation and Determination of Preferences of the Series E-D Convertible Preferred Stock; Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation and Determination of Preferences of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; and Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation and Determination of Preferences of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Certificates of Designation"); and

            5.     Agreement of Tender, Exchange and Transmittal of Series B Stock dated as of February 11, 2003 and Agreement of Tender, Exchange and Transmittal of Series D Stock dated as of February 11, 2003 (together, the "Exchange Agreements" and, collectively with the Purchase Agreement, the Series E Shareholders' Agreement, the Amended Shareholders' Agreement and the Certificates of Designation, the "Transaction Documents")

        References in this letter to "Applicable Laws" shall mean those laws, rules and regulations of the State of Colorado and of the United States of America which, in my experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents. References in this letter to the term "Governmental Authorities" means executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory bodies of the State of Colorado or the United States of America. References in this letter to the term "Governmental Approval" means any consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, any Governmental Authority pursuant to Applicable Laws.

        I have also assumed (other than with respect to the Company) that all documents, agreements and instruments have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto, that all such parties had the power and legal right to execute and deliver all such documents, agreements and instruments, and that such documents, agreements and instruments are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such parties. As used herein, "to my knowledge", "known to me" or words of similar import mean the actual knowledge, without independent investigation.

        I express no opinion concerning the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Colorado and, to the extent expressly referred to in this opinion letter, the federal laws of the United States of America. I am not licensed to practice law in the State of New York and I have neither examined nor expressed any opinion with respect to New York law.

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

            1.     The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado, with all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business and to own, lease and operate its properties and assets as now being and as heretofore conducted.

            2.     The Transaction Documents and the terms and provisions of each series of the Company's preferred stock included therein constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, receivership, and other laws related to or affecting creditors' rights generally, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that (a) the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations and (b) provisions (i) purporting to waive or limit rights to trial by jury, oral amendments to written agreements or rights to setoff or (ii) relating to choice of law, submission to jurisdiction, venue or service of process, may be limited by applicable law or considerations of public policy.

            3.     The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder do not breach or result in a material violation of, or default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its

2



    subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject.

            4.     Upon execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, the authorized capital stock of the Company shall consist of (a) 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which (1) 242 shares are issued and outstanding, 305,990 warrants are outstanding for a total of 305,990 shares of Common Stock, and 1,792,929 options are outstanding for a total of 1,792,929 shares of Common Stock, and (b) 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which (1) 750,000 shares designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 260,051 of which are issued and outstanding, (2) 510,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, 154,856 of which are issued and outstanding, (3) 500,000 shares of Series E-B Convertible Preferred Stock, 225,638 are issued and outstanding, (4) 510,000 shares of Series E-D Convertible Preferred Stock, 175,785 of which are issued and outstanding, (5) 600,000 shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock, 40,096 of which are issued and outstanding, and (6) 400,000 shares of Series E-2 Preferred Stock, none of which are issued and outstanding.

            5.     When shares of each series of preferred stock included in the Transaction Documents are issued in accordance with the Transaction Documents, such shares will be free of any liens or encumbrances (other than liens or encumbrances created or arising by operation of law) and free of preemptive or similar rights contained in the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or in any agreement known to me to which the Company is a party.

        I am furnishing this opinion letter to you solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions referred to herein. This opinion letter is not to be relied upon, used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to by any other person or entity or for any other purpose without my prior written consent. In addition, I disclaim any obligation to update this opinion letter for changes in fact or law, or otherwise.

    Very truly yours,
