E INK EXECUTIVE MICHAEL McCREARY ELECTED CHAIRMAN OF THE USDC BOARD

Board Also Adds New Members from DuPont, Motorola and Eastman Kodak Company

SAN JOSE , Calif. , March 28, 2007 – The U.S. Display Consortium ( USDC), a public/private partnership chartered with developing the flat panel display (FPD) industry infrastructure, today announced that Michael McCreary, Ph.D. (E Ink Corporation), has been elected chairman of the USDC’s governing board. Also newly voted onto the board were industry experts James R. Buntaine, Ph.D. (Eastman Kodak Company), Steven Freilich, Ph.D. (DuPont), and Daniel Gamota, Ph.D. (Motorola). Dr. McCreary replaces Dr. Diego Olego, chairman of USDC’s board since 2004. McCreary continues to serve as executive vice president of research and development for E Ink on top of his role at the USDC.

“We would like to thank Diego for his dedication and commitment to the USDC during his term as chairman. Through his leadership efforts, the USDC has succeeded in spearheading more than 25 R&D contracts to support future display innovations, including our newest initiative aimed at developing the flexible, printed and organic electronics (FPO) market,” noted USDC President Michael Ciesinski.

Ciesinski added, “Mike’s in-depth knowledge and commitment to enabling the flexible displays and electronics market makes him an ideal candidate as chairman of our governing board. Having already been heavily involved with the USDC as a board member,Mike’s new role will be to keep the USDC centrally focused on the display space, while leading the consortium in new directions. I am especially pleased that Jim, Steve and Dan will also help drive forward USDC’s FPO initiative.”

In his new role, McCreary is chartered with overseeing the USDC’s decisions on policy, program content and disposition of funds available to the consortium for sponsoring FPD technology-related R&D projects. During his term, he will also work with the governing board and all USDC stakeholders to further steer the USDC in a strategic direction that will increase the consortium’s value in the electronics industry and the application areas it serves.

“I look forward to leading USDC’s governing board, which has played an enabling role in the electronics display industry through its R&D and business development programs,” said McCreary. “Now, there are exciting opportunities to further extend display capabilities, as well as drive development of new processes in related areas such as the FPO arena. The USDC will be at the forefront of these new technologies, providing even more substantial value to its private-sector and federal partners.”
