This Proxy Statement is furnished to the shareholders by the Board of Directors of Video Display Corporation, 1868 Tucker Industrial Road, Tucker, Georgia 30084 (the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Tuesday,Friday, August 30, 2011,24, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. and at any adjournment or adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”). The Company’s 20112012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2011,29, 2012, accompanies this Proxy Statement and is first being mailed to shareholders on or about August 5, 2011.

If the enclosed form of proxy is properly executed and returned, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with its terms. If no choices are specified, the proxy will be voted:

FOR —– Election of Ronald D. Ordway, Gregory L. Osborn, David S. Cooper, Carolyn C. Howard and Roger W. Lusby III as Directors to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

In addition, a properly executed and returned proxy card gives the authority to vote in accordance with the proxy-holders’ best judgment on such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof. The proxy, given pursuant to this solicitation, is revocable at any time before it is exercised, by filing a revoking instrument, a duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Company or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

Each shareholder is entitled to one vote on each proposal per share of Common Stock held as of the record date. A majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. In determining whether a quorum exists at the Meeting for purposes of all matters to be voted on, all votes “for” or “against,” as well as all abstentions (including votes to withhold authority to vote in certain cases), with respect to the proposal receiving the most such votes, will be counted. The vote required for the election of directors is a majority of the votes cast by the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, provided a quorum is present. Consequently, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as part of the base number of votes to be used in determining if the proposal for the election of directors has received the requisite number of base votes for approval. Thus, with respect to the proposal for the election of directors, an abstention or broker non-vote will have no effect.

The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain officers, directors and employees may, without compensation, solicit proxies by telephone and personal interview. The Company may reimburse brokerage firms and others for reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the Company’s Common Stock.
