    TULSA, Okla., March 23, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a move to further advance its patented volumetric 3D projection technology, 3DIcon Corporation (OTCBB:TDCP) today announced it has signed a Facilities Use Agreement with Oklahoma State University-Tulsa's (OSU-Tulsa) Helmerich Research Center. 3DIcon will utilize the world-class technology facilities at the Helmerich Research Center for creating the next generation image space for CSpace®, 3DIcon's patented 3D volumetric technology.

    3DIcon will utilize the facility's highly specialized equipment for the creation of an image space with enhanced brightness and resolution. The new image space will be significantly larger than the current prototype, yet transportable enough for use at trade shows and in meetings with potential commercial partners.

    The Helmerich Research Center, a $43 million facility, funded through a county, state and private sector partnership, houses laboratories to develop the next generation of composites and materials. The center's overarching focus is on material science with four strategic research and technology development thrusts including nanotechnology, biosciences, energy and aerospace. When fully staffed, the 123,000-square-foot building will house up to 25 faculty and researchers and 100 graduate students. The research center contains specialized laboratories, a clean room, an imaging suite, advanced information technology equipment and faculty offices. Since opening in 2008, OSU researchers have already been successful in securing grants from several entities including NASA, the National Science Foundation and Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology.

    "We are excited to make available the world-class resources of our Helmerich Research Center for 3DIcon's continued technology development. Supporting Oklahoma companies like 3DIcon to help launch industries that are leading and transforming technologies is one of the missions of the Helmerich Research Center," said Dr. Kenneth Ede, assistant dean of OSU's College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology.  

    Dr. Brian Hoover, 3DIcon's Vice President of Technology Development, added, "OSU's Helmerich Research Center provides the state-of-the-art tools needed to develop the next generation image space for 3D display. This agreement will assist us in reaching our next milestone in technology development on our path to commercialization."
