Radius and Portrait Display Labs Enter Strategic Relationship to Unify
Distribution of Pivoting Display Technology

Companies to foster cross-platform full-page technology

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 20, 1994--Radius Inc. (NASDAQ:RDUS) today announced
that Portrait Display Labs (PDL) is now the exclusive Western Hemisphere
marketer of color pivoting displays based on proprietary technology
developed by Radius for Macintosh and PC/Windows computers. The agreement
expands the strategic and business relationship that was formed in
December 1992 when PDL licensed Radius' pivoting display technology for
sale in the PC/Windows computing marketplace.

Under the terms of the agreement, PDL will manage all sales of current
Radius PrecisionColor Pivot displays for Macintosh systems, as well as
PDL's PC/Widnows-based color pivoting display, in North America, South
America, and the Caribbean. In the future, PDL will introduce a
multi-platform pivoting display compatible with Macintosh-, Power
Macintosh-, and PC/Windows-based computers. As part of the agreement,
Radius will receive an undisclosed equity stake in PDL.

"Radius is the leading developer of advanced display, graphics
acceleration, multiprocessing and digital video products for the
Macintosh," said Chuck Berger, president and chief executive officer of
Radius. "For several years, the Radius color pivoting display has been a
centerpiece of our industry leading product innovation. In conjunction
with Portrait Display Labs, we now have the opportunity to reach a broader
base of customers. PDL has done an outstanding job of proliferating pivot
display technology in the PC/Windows marketplace. We feel the company is
well positioned to replicate that success in multiple computing
environments."

"PDL has taken a technology leadership position in the PC/Windows
environment by providing the most innovative display solutions available,"
said Bruce Cummings, president and chief executive officer of Portrait
Display Labs. "Our relationship with Radius will facilitate PDL's
development of even more-advanced solutions that span multiple platforms
and computing environments. Users in both the Macintosh and PC/Windows
worlds will soon see even greater benefits and productivity advantages to
PDL's display solutions as we expand our line of full-page pivoting
displays."

Under the original agreement, the two companies sold full-page color
pivoting displays into the Macintosh and PC/Windows markets separately.
Consisting of a 15-inch pivoting display that combines both portrait and
landscape viewing capability in a single solution, Radius' full-page
PrecisionColor Pivot has been sold exclusively to the Macintosh market,
while PDL's similar Portrait/15 Plus has been marketed only to the
PC/Windows environment.

With Radius' core display technology and Portrait Display Labs'
enhancements, users can physically rotate a full-page pivoting display
from portrait to landscape configuration and back again on-the-fly--while
on-screen images re-orient themselves to accommodate the new viewing mode.
This allows users to re-orient their display for optimal, full-page
viewing of different applications.

Portrait mode is ideal for such applications as word processing,
communications, desktop publishing and document retrieval, while landscape
mode is optimal for spreadsheets, presentation graphics and timelines. In
portrait orientation, the PrecisionColor Pivot and Portrait/15 Plus offer
the vertical document display capability of an expensive 20-inch monitor,
while costing less than a quality 17-inch display.

Portrait Display Labs was founded in 1992 specifically to focus on the
development and marketing of portrait and pivoting monitors, a potential
market estimated by the company to be in excess of 15% of total monitor
sales for computers running software with a Macintosh or Windows graphical
user interlace. The privately held Fremont, California-based company sells
its products direct and through wholesale distributors, VARs/VADs, retail,
and catalog outlets. The company can be reached at (510) 249-0444.

Radius Inc. delivers extended computer system performance, faster graphics,
the highest-quality digital video, and enhanced display products to
leading-edge computer users in the publishing, graphics, video, and
education markets. The company's products are available through a
worldwide network of Radius authorized resellers, system integrators and

add-in boards.
