Kopin - Proud of the results
"The world is enraptured by video and is demanding an enthralling multisensory experience in the mobile world," said Dr. John C.C. Fan, Kopin's president and chief executive officer. "This requires three important things: miniaturization, very high resolution and unsurpassed power efficiency. Kopin is helping set the standard in all three categories. We're proud of the results so far, and Vision 2005 attendees will be able to see for themselves."
Kopin - Mobile video revolution
The mobile video revolution is made possible by a convergence of technology developments, including high-speed wireless networks, abundant content, dramatically expanding storage resources, and major gains in microdisplay technology. Near-to-eye personal displays are projected to be a $1 billion market by 2008, according to a 2004 report by McLaughlin Consulting Group and Insight Media.
