                    SI DIAMOND TO TRADE OVER-THE-COUNTER ON
                       ELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARD OF NASD

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 11, 1998 - SI Diamond Technology, Inc. (OTCBB:SIDT)
announced today that it has received notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market
that the company's common stock was delisted as of the close of business on
February 10, 1998.  Nasdaq's delisting notification was based on its review of
the company's share price data, capital and surplus deficiencies.

For continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market(TM), the common stock must
maintain a minimum bid of $1.00 or, as an alternative if the bid is less than
$1.00, maintain net tangible assets of $4 million and a market value of the
public float of at least $3 million.  Nasdaq's determination noted that as of
February 6, 1998, the company's common stock had failed to maintain a closing
bid price of greater than, or equal to, $1.00, with its closing bid price on
February 6, 1998, of $0.34375.  Consequently, the market capitalization and
market value of public float as of that date, were $6,254,811 and $3,529,428
respectively.

Further, the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, reported
$3,249,110 in total assets and $10,540 in capital and surplus, below the
requirement as stated above.  Following its delisting, the company expects its
common stock to trade in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin
board of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.  Its trading
symbol will remain SIDT.

SI Diamond Technology is a holding company consisting of three wholly owned
subsidiaries.  SIDT's Diamond Tech One subsidiary provides wafer bumping and
other micro-interconnect services for the semi-conductor and display
industries.  The Field Emission Picture Element Technology subsidiary is
developing products for applications utilizing SIDT's proprietary field
emission technology.  The Electronic Billboard Technology subsidiary is geared
toward the commercialization of SIDT's digitized sign technology.
