 Kopin CyberEVF - Viewfinder
Kopin developed the CyberEVF 230K as a standard electronic viewfinder (EVF) product for digital cameras. It integrates a full-color QVGA (320 x 240) resolution microdisplay, ultra-thin backlight, optics, and easy-to-use focusing mechanism into a tiny housing unit (17mm x 23.5mm x 25mm). With 15x image magnification and a 22-degree field of view, the viewfinder generates large, vivid color images with minimal distortion or color aberration. This complete EVF solution enables digital camera manufacturers to shorten the design time for new products and substantially reduce the assembly cost. The CyberEVF 230K's size is approximately two-thirds of the depth and less than half the volume of competing EVF modules, enabling digital camera OEMs to shrink their cameras to a pocket-size form factor, a key benefit for consumers.

"Securing a major design win from the largest digital camera maker in the United States attests to the superiority of our CyberDisplay technology and affirms the benefits of a complete EVF solution in the digital camera marketplace," said Dr. John C.C. Fan, Kopin's president and CEO. "Digital cameras remain a primary focus in our microdisplay strategy.
