        1.1    Authorization of the Note.    The Company represents and warrants to the Purchasers that it has authorized the sale and issuance of convertible promissory notes in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each a "Note").

        THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED A WRITTEN OPINION FROM COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY STATING THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

        THIS PROMISSORY NOTE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THAT CERTAIN SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT, DATED DECEMBER 31, 2003, BETWEEN THE HOLDERS AND SILICON VALLEY BANK.

DISPLAYTECH, INC.
PROMISSORY NOTE

$               Longmont, Colorado
December 31, 2003

        FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Displaytech, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Company"), promises to pay to the order of                        , or its registered assigns (the "Holder"), the principal sum of                        DOLLARS ($                        ), with interest thereon from time to time as provided herein.

        1.    Agreement.    This promissory note (this "Note" and together with all other promissory notes issued pursuant to the Agreement (as defined below), the "Notes") is issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of December 31, 2003 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Agreement"), between the Company, the Holder and the other purchasers named therein (the "Other Holders" and together with the Holder, the "Holders"), and the Holder is subject to the terms and entitled to the benefits of this Note and the Agreement and may enforce the agreements of the Company contained herein and therein and exercise the remedies provided for hereby and thereby or otherwise available in respect hereto and thereto. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement.

        2.    Maturity Date; Interest.    The principal under this Note shall be due and payable on April 30, 2004 (the "Maturity Date"). Interest shall accrue from the date hereof (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), at the rate per annum from time to time announced in the Wall Street Journal as the prime commercial lending rate, plus 2% (the "Interest Rate"), on the unpaid principal amount of the Note, and shall be due and payable in cash or, subject to Section 5, convertible into shares, at the option of the Holder, at the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of conversion of the Note; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined herein), interest shall accrue at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum.

        3.    Rank.    The Note shall rank senior to all indebtedness of the Company, whether presently existing or hereinafter incurred, with the exception of indebtedness owed by the Company to Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") in the original principal amount of $10,000,000 plus accrued interest ("HP Debt"), and all obligations owed to Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") under that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated April 4, 2003 (the "SVB Loan Agreement"). The Holder acknowledges that its priority and right of payment hereunder are subordinate to payment of the HP Debt and all obligations owed to SVB under the SVB Loan Agreement (as more fully described in that certain Subordination Agreement, dated December 31, 2003, between the Holders and SVB (the "SVB Subordination Agreement"). Notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary, upon any receivership, insolvency, assignment for the benefit of creditors, bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement with creditors (whether or not pursuant to bankruptcy or other insolvency laws), sale of all or substantially



all of the assets, dissolution, liquidation or any other marshaling of the assets and liabilities of the Company, or in the event this Note shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise: (i) no amount shall be paid by the Company or accepted or retained by the Holder, whether in cash or property, in respect of the principal of or interest on this Note at the time outstanding, unless and until the full amount of the HP Debt then outstanding shall have been paid in full, (ii) if any such amount is received by the Holder on account of or with respect to this Note, the Holder shall forthwith pay over same to HP, and until so paid, any such amount shall be held by the Holder in trust for HP and shall not be commingled with other funds or property of the Holder, and (iii) no claim or proof of claim shall be filed with the Company by or on behalf of the Holder which shall assert any right to receive any payments in respect of the principal of and interest on this Note except subject to the payment in full of all of the HP Debt then outstanding; provided, that nothing in this Section 3 shall affect the Holder's right to convert the unpaid principal and interest on this Note into shares of the Company's capital stock pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

        4.    Prepayment.    The Company shall have no right to prepay the Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to the Maturity Date without the prior written consent of the Holders.

        5.    Conversion.    

              (a)   Subject to any required waivers or consents by holders of the Company's capital stock, upon the Company's establishment, on or prior to the Maturity Date, of a new Senior Security (as defined below), the Holder shall convert the unpaid principal and interest on this Note into such Senior Security, on the same terms and with the same rights, preferences and privileges as are received by any other holders of such Senior Security. The number of Senior Securities to be issued to the Holder shall equal (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus accrued interest thereon as of such conversion date, divided by (ii) the price per share at which the Company issues the Senior Security. The Company shall give the Holder not less than ten (10) days prior written notice of the establishment of the Senior Security. For purposes of this Note, "Senior Security" shall mean the Company's proposed Series G Convertible Preferred Stock or any similar series of preferred stock intended to be the Company's senior-most security at the time of its establishment.

              (b)   If (i) the holders of the Company's capital stock fail to grant any required waivers or consents or (ii) the Senior Security is not established prior to the Maturity Date, then interest with respect to the Note shall continue to accrue at the Interest Rate for ten business days following the Maturity Date. On such tenth day, the Company shall pay all amounts due hereunder; provided, that if the Company fails to so make such payment, then the annual interest rate shall increase to fifteen percent (15%); provided further, that during such ten-day period, the Holder may, at its option, convert the unpaid principal and interest on this Note into such number of shares of the Company's Series E-1 Senior Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, equal to (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus accrued interest thereon as of such conversion date, divided by (y) $100.

              (c)   If this Note has not been previously converted as provided above, then the Holder may, at its option, convert the unpaid principal and interest on the Note into shares of the Company's common stock if the Company completes an initial public offering of common stock on or before the Maturity Date. The conversion price for the common stock shall be the offering price for the common stock in the initial public offering.

              (d)   Upon a Fundamental Change (as defined below) prior to the Maturity Date, the Holder may, at its option upon written notice to the Company, (i) accelerate payment of the unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Note to the date of consummation of such Fundamental Change, (ii) convert the Note into any of the Company's securities being acquired in connection with the Fundamental Change at the price per share paid for such

2



      securities in the Fundamental Change, (iii) keep the Notes outstanding such that interest shall continue to accrue until the Maturity Date, or (iv) select a combination of any or all of the foregoing.

        For purposes hereof, "Fundamental Change" means any of the following events:

                  (i)  the sale (or functional equivalent of a sale) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company;

                 (ii)  any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other person, any merger of another person into the Company or any other business combination involving the Company which results in the holders of the Company's stock immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction owning shares of capital stock of the surviving corporation in such transaction representing (x) fifty percent (50%) or less of the total voting power of all shares of capital stock of such surviving corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or (y) fifty percent (50%) or less of the total value of all capital stock of such surviving corporation; or

                (iii)  any person, together with "affiliates" and "associates" of such person (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), shall acquire after the date hereof beneficial ownership within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which when aggregated with the beneficial ownership on or prior to the date hereof, shall constitute greater than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company.

              Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Fundamental Change" shall not mean any change in ownership of the Company, voting power of the Company's stockholders or composition of the Company's Board of Directors resulting from or occurring in connection with the establishment of the Senior Security.

              (e)   In the event of any conversion as provided above, the Company shall not issue fractional securities but shall pay the dollar equivalent of any fractional securities.

              (f)    The Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the securities issuable upon such conversion unless the Note is either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent, or the Holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that the Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with the Note. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver at such office to the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the securities to which the Holder shall be entitled as the result of a conversion, as mutually agreed to between the Company and the Holder. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made on the date of establishment of the Senior Security, on the Maturity Date, or immediately prior to the Company's initial public offering or Fundamental Change, as applicable. The person or persons entitled to receive securities issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such securities on such date.

              (g)   In the event that any principal of or interest on this Note remains unpaid at any time after payment thereof is due hereunder, the Holder shall retain all rights hereunder, including but not limited to conversion rights, until such time as amounts due, including additional accrued interest, have been paid in full. Subject to the foregoing, upon (i) either (A) payment in full by the Company to the Holder of all principal, interest and any other amounts due pursuant to the terms hereof or (B) conversion of this Note in full pursuant to the terms hereof and (ii) fulfillment by the Company of all its other obligations hereunder, this Note

3



      shall terminate; provided, that the rights of the Holder to seek legal and equitable relief in connection with claims arising (y) out of the representations and warranties of the Company or performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder on or prior to the date of such termination or (z) for any other reason in connection with this Note prior to its termination, shall survive such termination date.

        6.    Anti-dilution Adjustments.    

        The conversion price for securities issued upon conversion of the Note, if such securities have a conversion price, will be subject to proportional adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, subdivisions or combinations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like.

        7.    Defaults and Remedies.    

              (a)    Events of Default.    An "Event of Default" shall occur hereunder if:

                  (i)  the Company shall fail to pay the principal or interest of this Note, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether upon demand or by acceleration or otherwise; or

                 (ii)  the Company shall breach the due observance or performance of any covenant, condition or agreement on the part of the Company to be observed or performed pursuant to the Agreement, this Note or the promissory notes issued by the Company to Other Holders pursuant to the Agreement, and such breach shall continue unremedied for more than fifteen (15) business days following written notice to the Company thereof; or

                (iv)  the Company shall breach any terms or provisions of any other agreements which gives any third party (A) the right to accelerate, after the expiration of all applicable grace periods, payment of a material obligation or (B) grounds to establish the breach of or to terminate any other material agreement, and such breach shall continue unremedied for more than fifteen (15) business days following written notice to the Company thereof; or

                 (v)  an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking (A) relief in respect of the Company or of a substantial part of its property or assets, under Title 11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, (B) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or a similar official for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or assets, or (C) the winding up or liquidation of the Company; and such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for sixty (60) days, or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered; or

                (vi)  the Company shall (A) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, (B) consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding for the filing of any petition described in paragraph (v) of this Section 7(a), (C) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee,

    Re:
    Displaytech, Inc.
    Sale of Promissory Notes

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We have acted as counsel to Displaytech, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of, initially, up to $1,500,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's Promissory Notes (the "Notes"), pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2003 (the "Purchase Agreement"), among the Company, Fleming US Discovery Fund III, L.P., Fleming US Discovery Offshore Fund III, L.P., and InterWest Capital, Inc. (collectively, the "Purchasers"). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement. We are rendering this opinion letter to you at the request of the Company pursuant to Section 2.3.5 of the Purchase Agreement. As used herein, the term "Transaction Documents" shall mean: (i) the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the Notes.

        As counsel, we have examined the Transaction Documents and such other certificates, documents and records, and have made such examinations of law, as we have deemed necessary to enable us to render the opinions expressed below. In addition, we have examined and relied as to matters of fact upon representations and warranties of the Company made in the Transaction Documents, certificates of officers and representatives of the Company, and other certificates of public officials, without independent verification or inquiry.

        In giving the opinions below, we have assumed with your consent:

      (i)
      the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all items submitted to us as originals and the conformity with originals of all items submitted to us as copies;

      (ii)
      that each party to the Transaction Documents other than the Company has the power and authority, or in the case of individuals, the capacity, to execute and deliver and to perform and observe the provisions of each Transaction Document, and has duly authorized, executed and delivered each Transaction Document, and that each Transaction Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of each such party;

      (iii)
      that there are no oral or written modifications of, or amendments to, any Transaction Document, and there has been no waiver of any of the provisions of any Transaction Document by action or conduct of the parties or otherwise;

      (iv)
      that all public records reviewed are accurate and complete; and

      (v)
      that you have received all documents you were to receive under the Transaction Documents; that each of the Transaction Documents is an obligation binding upon the parties thereto other than the Company; and that there are no extrinsic agreements or understandings among the parties to the Transaction Documents that would modify or interpret the terms of the Transaction Documents.

        Whenever our opinion in this letter with respect to the existence or absence of facts is indicated to be based on our knowledge, it is intended to signify that, in the course of our representation of the Company in connection with the matter described in the first paragraph hereof, Nathaniel G. Ford and James H. Carroll (who are the only attorneys in this firm who have devoted significant attention to such representation) have not acquired actual knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts. We have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company.

        For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that each Purchaser has taken any and all necessary action to execute and deliver each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and we are assuming that the representations and warranties made by each Purchaser in the Transaction Documents and pursuant thereto are true and correct.

        Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the federal laws of the United States of America, and the laws of the State of Colorado. We note that, to the extent that the parties to the Transaction Documents have designated the laws of the State of New York as the laws governing the Transaction Documents, our opinion in paragraph 5 below as to the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Transaction Documents is premised upon the result that would be obtained if a Colorado court were to apply the internal laws of the State of Colorado (notwithstanding the designation of the laws of the State of New York). We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply, and no opinion to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the subject matter hereof. Neither special rulings of such authorities nor opinions of counsel in said jurisdiction have been obtained. We are not rendering any opinion as to compliance with (i) any federal or state law, rule or regulation relating to antitrust or limitations on corporate distributions or (ii) any antifraud law, rule or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof.

        With regard to our opinion in paragraph 4 below with respect to material defaults under any agreement known to us, we have relied solely upon (i) inquiries of officers of the Company, and (ii) an examination of the items listed on Exhibit A to this letter; we have made no further investigation.

        With regard to our opinion in paragraph 5 below, we express no opinion regarding any law or governmental rule or regulation regarding maximum allowable interest rates. We note that Colorado Revised Statutes Annotated Section 18-15-104 prescribes penalties for charging a loan finance charge where the charge exceeds an annual percentage rate of 45 percent (45%) and that the basic interest rate under the Notes is the prime commercial lending rate as set forth in the Wall Street Journal plus 2%. We are unable to render an opinion regarding compliance with Colorado Revised Statutes Annotated Section 18-15-104, however, because we cannot conclude that the provisions of the Notes (including those relating to, among other things, default interest, conversion price adjustments, payment of expenses, and payment of attorneys fees) would not, under any circumstances, result in a loan finance charge in excess of 45 percent (45%). In particular, we note that we are not aware of any Colorado authority which determines how the value of conversion rights would be calculated for purposes of determining whether the maximum statutory rate on a loan finance charge has been exceeded.

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

            1.     The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, 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


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

            3.     The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

            4.     Except as disclosed by the Company on Schedule 4.5(a) of the Schedule of Exceptions to the Purchase Agreement, the execution and delivery by the Company of each of the Transaction Documents, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder (a) do not result in a violation of any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, (b) assuming execution by the Company's Series E-1 Preferred Shareholders of certain consents and waivers of their contract rights, and assuming the execution by each of the Purchasers of a Subordination Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, do not breach or result in a material violation of, or material 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 subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, (c) do not violate or contravene (i) any governmental statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or (ii) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award which has been entered against the Company and of which we are aware, the violation or contravention of which would materially and adversely affect the Company, its assets, financial condition or operations, and (d) do not require any approval from any Government Authority, except those approvals that may be required under state securities or blue sky laws. For purposes of this letter, "Governmental Authority" means any executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory bodies of the State of Colorado or United States of America.

            5.     The Purchase Agreement and the Notes to be issued on the date hereof constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with such terms and conditions, 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.

            6.     To our knowledge, there is no legal or governmental action, investigation, 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, or (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 Company a present intention to initiate such actions, investigations or proceedings against the Company.

            7.     Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers contained or incorporated by reference in the Purchase Agreement and compliance with the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement, it is not necessary in connection with the offer and sale of

3



    the Notes or the Conversion Shares (as defined below), if any, by the Company to the Purchasers under the circumstances contemplated by the Purchase Agreement to register the Notes or the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The term "Conversion Shares" as used herein means the shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with their terms.

        We are 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 our prior written consent. In addition, we disclaim any obligation to update this opinion letter for changes in fact or law, or otherwise.

  Very truly yours,
