Micronic introduces the Prexision series, pattern generators with improved image
quality for next generations display manufacturing

Täby, Sweden - October 17, 2007 - Micronic Laser Systems AB (OMX Nordic Exchange
Stockholm, Nordic list, Mid Cap, Information Technology: MICR), a leading global
supplier of laser pattern generators for photomasks, today introduces
Prexision-8 and Prexision-10, two new pattern generators for display
applications.

Micronic Prexision-10 targets production of the large photomasks required for
next generation LCD manufacturing, the so-called Generation 10 (G10). These
photomasks will enable cost effective production of displays and TV's up to 60”
in size and larger.

Micronic Prexision-8 targets production of high quality photomasks through
Generation 8.

Both products are based on a new advanced technology platform that builds on
Micronic's success with the current LRS series. Prexision substantially improves
the precision and quality of LCD photomasks, and at the same time increases
productivity and reliability compared to current pattern generators. The CD
control has been improved by up to 30 per cent and pattern registration is 50
per cent better than previous systems at the same time as the writing speed has
been increased.

With superior technology and a close cooperation with its customers, Micronic is
today the World leader in pattern generators for the display industry. Prexision
is a result of this continuing collaboration and the system meets our customers'
requirements for higher yield and increasingly complex photomasks. 

“We are proud to contribute to the evolution of the display industry towards new
generations with the launch of Prexision” said Sven Löfquist, President and CEO
of Micronic Laser Systems AB. “Micronic Prexision enables production of
photomasks for G10 as well as providing higher quality photomasks at a higher
productivity.”
