Press Release Summary = FREMONT, CALIF., June 30, 2006 -- SiPix Imaging, Inc., an
award-winning manufacturer of next-generation electronic paper displays, today
announced that it, along with SmartDisplayer, developed a flexible display panel
embedded into an ISO compliant payment card. The companies also received the
Display Application of the Year Award from the Society for Information Display
(SID).

Press Release Body = SiPix (www.sipix.com) and SmartDisplayer
(www.smartdisplayer.com) created the "first flexible display panel to be embedded
into an ISO-compliant payment card."

SiPix Microcup® Electronic Paper is the key enabler for the DisplayCard solution,
specifically designed for the application's requirements - flexibility, impact
resistance, extreme thinness, and ultra-low power consumption. The result is a
flexible, 0.25-mm thin e-paper display for increased smart card security, control,
and personalization.



The revolutionary One Time Password (OTP) DisplayCard, developed by Innovative Card
Technologies (www.incardtech.com) and authentication expert nCryptone
(www.ncryptone.com), enables cardholders to generate and display a dynamic passcode
for one-time use. During an online merchant checkout or home banking login, the
cardholder obtains a new, unique number by pressing a button on the card. As
prompted, the cardholder then enters the number, proving the presence of the card,
and completes the transaction. With the DisplayCard, banks can strengthen online
banking sign-on by enabling two-factor authentication.



To meet demand by merchant banks, SiPix will complete expansion of its automated
high-volume module production line before the end of 2006. SiPix Microcup Electronic
Paper is the only display solution today that meets the requirements of ISO card
standards.



SID is the premier international professional society exclusively devoted to the
advancement of electronic-display technology, manufacturing, applications,
marketing, and sales.
