The company supplies the consumer, industrial, and military markets.
Kopin technology capabilities include:
• Display – Kopin continues to set the standard for near-eye display performance and quality, producing the world’s smallest and highest-resolution transmissive liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
• ASIC – Kopin’s compact, low-power application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) are critical for the miniaturization and minimal power consumption requirements of wearable headsets.
• Ergonomics – Wearable devices are redefining the interactions between users and technology. Kopin understands that the role of human factors and ergonomics is critical in shaping the experiences these devices deliver.
• Optics – Kopin optics are ideal for wearable headset devices because of their small, light-weight form factors and their ability to produce sharp and colorful images that enhance the capabilities of their display products.
• Speech Enhancement – Kopin’s voice capabilities enable ultimate hands-free convenience for wearable headsets. Their technology and expertise is focused on improving the voice recognition accuracy even in the noisiest conditions.
• Software – Kopin has been prolific in advancing human-computer interaction modalities for wireless “hands-free” mobile computing and communications.
• Packaging – Portable electronics, including wearable headsets, require the skilled packaging of many parts into very tight spaces to reduce the size and weight of the unit.
With their technology portfolio and extensive system design experience, Kopin provides tailored solutions that boost user productivity and efficiency, and accelerate product development.
Kopin solution offerings include:
• Headset Solutions – Golden-i 3.8D is a reference design headset system for industrial applications. It has a powerful microprocessor, a display pod that provides an equivalent of a 15-inch screen, a 14-MP camera, 9-axis motion sensor to track head motion, and wireless connections via WiFi and Bluetooth. The Golden-i 3.8D offers hands-free operation with voice command and gesture control. It is designed to fit all head sizes and features unique plastic stabilizers and an innovative spring-loaded headband that distributes pressure evenly above the ears with soft pads.
• Rugged Solutions – With decades of experience in product design and development for industrial and defense related applications, Kopin has the tools to make rugged products a success. Kolpin assists from the early stages of requirements definition and system design trades, to detailed hardware, embedded software and optical design, development testing, volume manufacturing, and production support.
Kopin’s recently reported Q3 financial results show an 85% year-over-year jump in product revenues, with a reduction in the rate of cash used in operating activities.
