Currently the U.S. Department of Defense is being done for military purposes, to assess the technology, including a soldier in the field to use wristband style light displays. The contract extension includes a new prototype design and manufacturing, the prototype uses amorphous silicon substrate and metal foil substrates, designed by LG monitors.
