Government Funding [Abstract]  
Government Funding Note 4- Government Funding On July 28, 2020, the Company announced that it had been awarded a $33.6 million contract over the next 33 months from the Department of Defense (“DoD”) to sustain and enhance U.S. domestic capability for high resolution, high brightness OLED microdisplays that will be based on the Company’s proprietary dPd technology. This investment is in addition to the $5.5 million award announced on June 11, 2020, under the Department of Defense Industrial Base Analysis (“IBAS”) Program for OLED Supply Chain Assurance and will be used to increase capacity and sustain operations at the Company’s Hopewell Junction, New York, headquarters. These funds will be used to procure key equipment and tooling, and reimburse the Company for certain labor and material costs, which the Company believes will improve all aspects of its OLED microdisplay production, including increased throughput and capacity. Pursuant to the preliminary Technology Investment Agreement the government provided when the award was announced, the Company expects that the government will own the related equipment purchases until the end of the 33 month contract period, at which point the Company can apply to take title. The Company began making payments to related equipment vendors during the fourth quarter of 2020. For accounting purposes the Company considers that it is probable that title will pass to the Company and accordingly will treat this award in a similar fashion as the IBAS award. The Company recognizes the government awards as deferred income – government awards as program milestones are invoiced, and will recognize other income as depreciation and other expenditures are incurred over the useful life of the capital equipment. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has received $12.5 million for initial deposits required by capital equipment vendors. Amounts received, pending payment of deposits to vendors as of December 31, 2021, of $0.8 million are reflected in restricted cash on the accompanying balance sheet. Amounts due from the U.S. Department of Defense pursuant to invoices for capital equipment are presented on the balance sheet as accounts receivable – due from government awards. The total amount invoiced during the year ended December 31, 2021 of $12.5 million is reflected less depreciation in deferred revenue government awards – long term, and other current liabilities. Additional amounts remaining under the awards will be recorded in a similar fashion and will coincide with the progress payments required under the various capital equipment purchase terms. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized deferred income related to certain overhead expenses, not capitalized, of $255 thousand. The terms of various government agreements provide among other items that the Company must achieve certain yield targets, give priority to military orders and continue to maintain the productive capacity of equipment purchased for up to five years past the completion of the programs. Amounts billed to the government under these programs are recorded as Accounts Receivable – due from government awards on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
