Aydin Displays Makes First Shipment for the U.S. Navy CDS Program

ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Video Display Corporation (NASDAQ:VIDE) announces that its Aydin Displays Inc.
subsidiary has made its first delivery of FAU`s (First Article Units) for the
U.S. Navy CDS Program.

Under its award of one of the largest Naval displays program granted in several
years, Aydin Displays has succeeded in delivering the FAU`s nearly 2 months
ahead of the Navy`s schedule. Art Mengel, president of Aydin Displays Inc.,
stated, "This significant accomplishment is a milestone achievement representing
an important part of Aydin's future."

Mengel further stated, "With the qualification phases of these units now in
progress, full production will commence soon on significant orders currently
booked and awaiting production release. The CDS displays are specifically
designed to meet the stringent shock, vibration, EMI, and temperature
requirements of the U.S. Navy while providing superior visual performance under
all conditions."

Aydin Displays Inc. was awarded the multiple-year contract to supply the U.S.
Navy with 24-inch rugged flat panel monitors for the Common Displays System
(CDS) Program. The contract will provide Aydin displays for the Navy`s CDS
consoles in support of the DDG and Aegis Modernization. CDS is a family of
displays that will be implemented across platform systems on Navy surface ships,
submarines, and aircraft. CDS is designed to meet open architecture and open
business model requirements with minimized lifecycle costs that will ensure its
interoperability and the ability to handle frequent updates of the latest
technology. The CDS product family consists of a series of display
configurations based on standardized interchangeable components. The CDS
displays also provide a robust capability to meet the Navy`s current and future
needs for open systems, security features and cost effectiveness. CDS systems
have an intended service life of 30 years.
