Order for ITrans Module

Screen Technology Group plc 08 November 2006 For Immediate Release 8 November 2006 SCREEN TECHNOLOGY GROUP PLC (the 'Company' or "Screen Technology") Initial €1.7 million order for recently launched ITrans module Screen Technology Group plc, the AIM listed designer and manufacturer of revolutionary high-resolution large-screen displays for high ambient light environments, is pleased to announce that the Company has secured a major commercial order for its proprietary ITrans tiles from Sambers Italia S.p.A., which trades as Hantarex Electronic Systems ("Hantarex"), a leading international company based in Milan manufacturing and supplying flat screen display systems. The order has an initial value of €1.7m for delivery in the first half of 2007. The tiles will be used to create high-resolution ITrans display modules to supply to Hantarex's own customer base. This is Screen Technology's first major OEM partnership. Hantarex has made a significant investment in a dedicated production facility at its Milan plant with the capacity to produce 5,000 display modules a year (representing circa 1,800 sq. metres of display). This initial order is to supply the ITrans tile components for Hantarex to manufacture ITrans display modules for its own customers. Hantarex will also be assembling display modules using ITrans tiles for Screen Technology to supply its own growing customer base with modular displays. The ITrans modular system offers customers displays that can be configured to any size or aspect ratio without any compromise on image quality simply by seamlessly bolting together display modules. Incorporating the ground-breaking features of Screen Technology's existing large-format displays - high resolution, high brightness and superior image quality - the modular system is ideal for Hantarex's worldwide customers, which include airports, television studios, railways, museums and retail environments. Tom Jarman, Chief Executive of Screen Technology, commented : "This first major modular order, combined with the recently announced Wilden AG tile manufacturing partnership, represents a major milestone for Screen Technology in creating a fully scaleable production model working with top class partners. Screen Technology will continue to concentrate our resources on developing and marketing the ITrans technology, while being confident that supply can meet the ever increasing demand for our leading edge products." Giacomo Taffelli from Hantarex, said: "The ITrans technology developed by Screen Technology means that we will be able to offer our customers screens that produce vivid images, intense colours and pin sharp clarity with no upper limit in terms of size. "We are confident that this new technology, coupled with our own experience and worldwide reputation in the displays market will deliver a ready customer base among our existing clients and, equally importantly, new ones too."

The high resolution and high definition of the Company's displays give a high-quality image suitable for advertising images and video as well as public information displays. They are visible at short viewing distances as well as across larger venues making them particularly suitable for large retail outlets, shopping malls, control rooms and transport concourses where customers might be within 10m of the display, a distance at which LED display technologies become unsuitable. The high brightness means that the displays are also easily visible in the kind of high ambient light environments where conventional LCD or plasma technologies become unusable. Screen Technology's patent protected technology uses moulded optical fibre tiles to produce seamless large displays using standard production LCD panels. The scaleable modular technology enables screens to be built in a wide variety of shapes and of theoretically unlimited size. Screen Technology Group plc listed on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange, on 1 August 2005.
