Basler gains new segment on the flat screen market with a major
contract

Basler AG - a leading specialist in Vision Technology - was awarded a
multi-million Euro contract for inspection systems by AU Optronics -
one of the world's three biggest vendors of flat screen modules in
Taiwan. These systems inspect the quality of color filters in flat
screen glass. Thin layers of color filters in the glass are essential
for ensuring proper on-screen color display. This is now the second
time that Basler has won the day against the market leader from Japan
with its recently rolled-out new product line for color filter
inspection. The contract went to Basler for the superior concept of
its inspection systems.

The major new contract represents a strategically important milestone
for Basler on its way to becoming the market leader for inspection
systems for the flat screen industry. In April Basler already
announced a major new contract for inspection systems for so-called
polarisation foils which, like color filters, are essential
components of flat screen displays. Last week this system passed the
acceptance test successfully. What's more, with its exclusive
technology partnership agreement with the world's leading producers
of flat screen glass, Basler has installed more than 70 inspection
systems which gives it a market share of approx. 60% in this segment.
