Ahrensburg (euro adhoc) - Ahrensburg, 29.05.2008 - Basler AG - one of
the international leading companies in the Vision Technology sector -
has received large new orders from Flat Panel Display makers.

After the announcement of a > 6 mill. Euro Color-Filter inspection
machine order from Taiwan-based AU-Optronics (AUO) earlier this year,
now Chunghwa Picture Tubes (CPT) - also a large Taiwanese
manufacturer of Flat Panel Displays - has decided to equip their new
production lines with Basler Color- Filter inspection technology.
Like with the AUO-project, Basler will also carry- out the CPT-order
in close collaboration with a local machine building company, which
takes care for the process automation. This setup allows Basler to
focus on its core competence in the area of Vision Technology and to
improve the competitiveness of the total solution. The second
large-size order for Color- Filter inspection machine in a short time
frame proves the new strategy of the "Basler Solutions" business
segment to be working fine in the Flat Panel Display market.

In addition to the CPT-project Basler has recorded significant new
orders from the leading manufacturer of Flat Panel Display glass for
bare glass inspection machines.

With the new bookings, which have a total volume of more than 5 mill.
Euro, Basler is further increasing its market share in the inspection
machine market for bare and coated Flat Panel Display glass.
