Eleksen Supports Microsoft Vista with Wearable Display Module for use in Bags,
Briefcases and Backpacks


Eleksen Group plc ("Eleksen"), which makes smart fabrics that can be used to
control electronic devices such as smartphones and MP3 players, today announced
at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show the availability of its Wearable
Display Module (WDM) for Microsoft Windows SideShow, a computer auxiliary
display product for integration into soft-goods such as bags, backpacks and
clothing. Eleksen's Wearable Display Module is the world's first development of
computer display technology for this market.

The Wearable Display Module is easily integrated into soft-goods like briefcases
and backpacks and provides the first "in-bag screen" available for any computer
electronics product.  It lets consumers connect their carry cases directly to
their computer and view critical glance data like email, appointments and other
information from the bags exterior without needing to open the bag or access the
Windows Vista-based device.

"Eleksen has consistently pioneered new and imaginative ways to help people
connect with their digital devices," said Robin Shephard, CEO of Eleksen.  "Our
technology, ElekTex, has become the standard among leading clothing and
electronics brands for advancing the wearable technology market. Our creation of
a visual output device for bags, briefcases and backpacks in collaboration with
Microsoft is a natural extension of where we see the market going over the next
year.  Now you'll be able to see, as well as hear, your entertainment and other
data while on the go."

"We're excited about the tremendous support and enthusiasm Eleksen is providing
for Windows Vista at this year's Consumer Electronics Show," said Brad Goldberg,
general manager of Windows Client at Microsoft Corp. "By working closely
together, we are helping to provide technologies that will connect, entertain
and hopefully surprise people by how easy this next generation of computing
makes their lives."

Eleksen's Wearable Display Module paves the way for a range of new soft-goods
products and transforms traditional bags and backpacks into soft electronic
devices. Designed to support the Windows SideShow feature in Windows Vista, an
auxiliary or secondary display on a laptop, Eleksen's WDM works with any
application designed for Windows SideShow-based devices to support email, online
calendar, media
player and other functions. The display can be used to easily view the critical
information users need, whether the laptop is on, off, or in sleep mode.
