Metal Mesh Advantages


UniBoss Advantage Benefit to User

Metal Mesh vs. ITO based touch sensorsFaster scan speeds More accurate and faster response

Lower power Longer battery life

Smaller bezel area than required for dual-ended ITO Smaller bezel area = sleeker designs

No color shift Truer color representation

Flexible Better reliability & non-flat designs possible

UniBoss Advantage Benefit to Manufacturer

Metal Mesh Process

Roll-to-roll Lower cost

Additive patterning (no subtractive processes)Fewer process steps = lower cost

No subtractive processes = better adhesion = higher yield

Easily scalable Benefits all sizes from small to large

Sensor and bezel circuits all patterned in one passFewer process steps = lower cost

No adhesion problems inherent with photo-etch process No subtractive processes = better adhesion = higher yield

Metal Mesh Technology

Thin, flexible designs More flexibility in look & feel, non-flat designs possible

Narrow bezel designs Less non-functional material requirements

Can use without cover glass Lower overall module cost

-UniPixels Diamond Guard film can replace the glass

Conclusions


64/68

NASDAQ: UNXL

Conclusions

Metal mesh technology enables a cost effective solution to

ITO based touch sensors and subsequent modules.

Metal mesh enables both low visibility sensor grids and a

integrated thin form factor bezel circuit for a larger LCD

viewing area.

Metal mesh technology using copper allows larger form

factor implementation with fewer driver chips which

reduces cost because of high conductivity.

Metal mesh has the combination of optics and durability for

high yield post lamination processing.

Metal mesh is available for form factors which include smart

phones up to 23 inch diagonal AIOs.

The above statements and any others in this document that refer to plans and expectations for the first quarter, the year and thefuture are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Words such as anticipates, expects,intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, may, will, should and their variations identify forward-lookingstatements. Statements that refer to or are based on projections, uncertain events or assumptions also identify forward-lookingstatements. Many factors could affect Intels actual results, and variances from Intels current expectations regarding such factorscould cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Intel presently considers thefollowing to be the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the companys expectations. Demand

could be different from Intel's expectations due to factors including changes in business and economic conditions; customer acceptanceof Intels and competitors products; supply constraints and other disruptions affecting customers; changes in customer order patternsincluding order cancellations; and changes in the level of inventory at customers. Uncertainty in global economic and financialconditions poses a risk that consumers and businesses may defer purchases in response to negative financial events, which couldnegatively affect product demand and other related matters. Intel operates in intensely competitive industries that are characterized bya high percentage of costs that are fixed or difficult to reduce in the short term and product demand that is highly variable and difficultto forecast. Revenue and the gross margin percentage are affected by the timing of Intel product introductions and the demand for andmarket acceptance of Intel's products; actions taken by Intel's competitors, including product offerings and introductions, marketingprograms and pricing pressures and Intels response to such actions; and Intels ability to respond quickly to technologicaldevelopments and to incorporate new features into its products. The gross margin percentage could vary significantly fromexpectations based on capacity utilization; variations in inventory valuation, including variations related to the timing of qualifyingproducts for sale; changes in revenue levels; segment product mix; the timing and execution of the manufacturing ramp andassociated costs; start-up costs; excess or obsolete inventory; changes in unit costs; defects or disruptions in the supply of materialsor resources; product manufacturing quality/yields; and impairments of long-lived assets, including manufacturing, assembly/test andintangible assets. Intel's results could be affected by adverse economic, social, political and physical/infrastructure conditions incountries where Intel, its customers or its suppliers operate, including military conflict and other security risks, natural disasters,infrastructure disruptions, health concerns and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Expenses, particularly certain marketing andcompensation expenses, as well as restructuring and asset impairment charges, vary depending on the level of demand for Intel'sproducts and the level of revenue and profits. Intels results could be affected by the timing of closing of acquisitions and divestitures.Intels current chief executive officer plans to retire in May 2013 and the Board of Directors is working to choose a successor. Thesuccession and transition process may have a direct and/or indirect effect on the business and operations of the company. In

connection with the appointment of the new CEO, the company will seek to retain our executive management team (some of whom arebeing considered for the CEO position), and keep employees focused on achieving the companys strategic goals and objectives. Intel'sresults could be affected by adverse effects associated with product defects and errata (deviations from published specifications), andby litigation or regulatory matters involving intellectual property, stockholder, consumer, antitrust, disclosure and other issues, such asthe litigation and regulatory matters described in Intel's SEC reports. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages or aninjunction prohibiting Intel from manufacturing or selling one or more products, precluding particular business practices, impactingIntels ability to design its products, or requiring other remedies such as compulsory licensing of intellectual property. A detaileddiscussion of these and other factors that could affect Intels results is included in Intels SEC filings, including the companys mostrecent Form 10-Q, report on Form 10-K and earnings release.
