BREAKING NEWS in technology - New Millennium Media International (OTCBB: N=
MMG) announces that it has officially filed its patents---with over 50 cla=
ims---protecting its revolutionary technology, a breakthrough in (LED) arc=
hitecture. The OnScreen=99 LED Display Architecture is a radical new type=
of Bright LED video display architecture that is expected to revolutioniz=
e the 1.5 billion dollar LED display market. This breakthrough technology=
will give NMMG great potential to capture significant market share in the=
the 19 billion dollar outdoor advertising market.
With all the new initiatives in Homeland Security and the Amber Alert, Int=
elligent Message Signs (IMS) are the future, and with the recent signing o=
f new laws and federally mandated funds in the billions of dollars, NMMG a=
nd its patent-pending OnScreen technology is poised to lead the way. NMMG=
currently has the only technology that allows it to build onto exisiting =
infrastructure, i.e. road signs, billboards, etc. Imagine one day you are=
driving home on the freeway past a road sign you have seen a thousand tim=
es before--but this time you notice something different. This time you se=
e a WARNING lit up--truck overturned 1 mile ahead--hazardous chemicals spi=
lled. The sign advises you to exit immediately and to safety. Such a war=
ning was broadcast instantly and using NMMG's OnScreen technology. You ne=
ver noticed, as you drove by the roadside every day, that OnScreen was dra=
ped over the sign all this time. Now it has sprung into action by the pun=
ch of a button on a PC from a central station--instantly and just in the n=
ick of time. You have just experienced OnScreen technology. And that is =
just one example. The possibilities are limitless. And because OnScreen =
can be applied to existing structures like road signs or billboards, its c=
ost-effectiveness makes it far and away the technology choice.
NMMG will unveil its breakthrough technology at the STRATEGIES IN LIGHT co=
nference on February 2-4, 2004 at the San Mateo Marriott Hotel in San Mate=
o, California. This unique event is considered to be the premier annual fo=
rum for addressing commercial developments in high-brightness LEDs, as wel=
l as an unparalleled networking opportunity for suppliers and users of the=
se devices. The growing interest in, and expanding attendance at, this eve=
nt, reflects the excitement associated with a market that has grown by 50=
% since 2000, while other semiconductor and optical component industries h=
ave stagnated or experienced large declines.
ON-SCREEN=99 TECHNOLOGY
OnScreen=99 is expected to create a broad-range of products with much bett=
er resolution and brighter pictures than the current generation of display=
s. OnScreen=99 will be visible in direct sunlight yet avoid many of the is=
sues associated with current displays including sun-loading, wind-loading =
and excessive weight. In addition, the new LED architecture produces an a=
dvantage that is not available in today's marketplace: a more lightweight,=
pliable display that can fit any application. These are important advant=
ages as the High Brightness LED market is expected to grow from 1.2 billio=
n dollars in 2000 to 4 billion in 2006. In addition, according to Stanfor=
d Resources, the LED sign market value alone is expected to exceed 1 billi=
on by 2006. These projections are made based on existing technology and do=
not take into account emerging technologies, such as OnScreen=99, that ca=
n rapidly alter the size and shape of this market.
COMMERCIAL MARKET & STRATEGY
NMMG's initial marketing strategy revolves around licensing intellectual p=
roperty (IP) to worldwide manufacturers of LED display products and compon=
ents. The LED sign market is projected to reach over 1 billion dollars by =
2006. Lumiled's projects that high brightness LED's, used in LED signs alo=
ne, will exceed 1.2 billion by 2007. If these projections hold, the fully =
manufactured signs would represent a $5 billion market. Whichever number i=
s accurate, they both point towards a robust market for these new LED disp=
lays. Many projections don't take into account emerging high growth applic=
ations such as the Amber Alert project, Homeland Security and roadway =93i=
ntelligent message transfer=94.
THE MARKET
An article in Media Post's Media Daily News in March of 2003 noted that th=
e outdoor industry has successfully weathered the recession and that =93ou=
r large members say they're having a great first quarter=94 in 2003. They =
go on to note that technology is expected to transform both the display an=
d measurement of outdoor advertising. According to Media Daily the most ex=
citing news is coming on the display side, where =93Lamar Advertising is c=
onverting their key boards to LED units whose messages can be changed at w=
ill and sold in day-parts by the hour or even the minute.=94 They added th=
at =93Clear Channel's backlit subway panels in stairwells are being conver=
ted to LED as well=94. Together these companies represent two of the three=
largest outdoor US advertisers.
Recent Federal Government legislation has also placed a spotlight on expan=
ding the =93Amber Alert=94 network nationwide. The highly publicized succe=
ss in locating a number of kidnapped children shortly after their abductio=
n in California has now triggered federal funding for U.S.-wide expansion =
of these variable-message signs. Homeland Security issues have also incre=
ased the number of early warning signs being planned and funded as part of=
an overall information sharing network. Traffic safety is also becoming a=
much higher priority in the U.S.. It is estimated that just over 60,000 r=
oadway dynamic message signs are in operation in the United States. In Jap=
an alone there are over 1.5 million of these signs. The United States repr=
esents a huge growth market for LED displays.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITES
In addition to the outdoor television market, another interesting and exci=
ting application for OnScreen=99 arrays is artistic lighting in dramatic c=
urved and shaped displays in places like Las Vegas, New York City or reall=
y virtually any venue. The tensile, flexible structure of OnScreen=99 prov=
ides unlimited opportunity for creativity.
The anticipated cost reductions of OnScreen=99 will also provide ample opp=
ortunity for growth of the large-scale LED display market itself. OnScreen=
=99's unique architecture opens the door for new applications such as curv=
ed implementations, billboards on the sides of buildings where tenants can=
still see out, and lower cost mobile applications on the sides of existin=
g vehicles.
Homeland Security, Amber Alert variable message signage and instant messag=
e transfer applications can also benefit significantly from the advantages=
of OnScreen=99. Reduced wind-loading and weight can significantly lower t=
he cost of the superstructures required to support these signs and also re=
duce the cost to install and maintain them.
