Kopin To Unveil its Latest CES Innovation
Award-Winning Technologies at Pepcom Digital Experience!, the Sands
and In Private Demo Suite at CES 2018
Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ:KOPN), a global pioneer in wearable AR
and VR technologies for government, enterprise, professional sports
and consumer markets, today announced that at CES 2018 it will
demonstrate a range of CES Innovation Award winning augmented
reality, virtual reality and mobile entertainment headsets
incorporating Kopin’s industry-leading components, technologies and
designs.
“2018 will be a very exciting year for Kopin and represents the
culmination of years of development,” said Dr. John C.C. Fan, CEO
of Kopin. “At CES we will unveil a range of Innovation
Award-winning technologies and devices that will transform the
worlds of AR, VR and wearables. We invite everyone to experience
our new generation Solos Smart Glasses at our booth (Sands Expo
#45031) and to visit our demo suite to see our OLED microdisplays,
Elf Reference Design and ‘Eagle’ home theater headset.”
To showcase the impressive capabilities of its Microdisplay
solutions, Kopin will demonstrate:
New Generation SOLOS® Smart Glasses for Cyclists and
Runners: SOLOS Smart Glasses is the ultra-lightweight smart
eyewear aerodynamically designed to improve the athlete’s
performance in comfort and style. The original SOLOS smart glasses
for cyclists was a 2017 CES Innovation Award Honoree. Building upon
the original features for cyclists, Kopin is showing this year the
new generation of its SOLOS smart glasses which enable cyclists and
runners to leverage wearable sensors to provide real-time progress
updates such as elapsed time, speed, power, pace, cadence, heart
rate and more. Athletes can set targets and use the SOLOS platform
to track progress on those targets. Athletes can also listen to
music, view mobile notifications, receive audio and visual
instructions, make phone calls and control their glasses with voice
commands. SOLOS also provides an advanced group communication
feature. Great for a group training with friends, the feature
allows coaches and athletes the ability to communicate with each
other during their performance, extending a coach’s capabilities
even further, allowing them to provide cues to slow down, speed up
or reach the next heart rate zone. More information here.
High-Brightness Lightning OLED Microdisplay with 720p
Resolution: Kopin will demonstrate high-brightness Lightning™
organic light emitting diodes (OLED) microdisplays including new
720p resolution (1280 x 720) for mobile entertainment. Kopin’s
Lightning 720p OLED microdisplay in a 0.49-inch diagonal size
exhibits high brightness at more than 1000 nits and has low power
consumption. With good progress in partnerships with Olightek and
BOE for mass production of OLED displays, Kopin is readying itself
to lead high-volume OLED on Si display markets. More information
here.
Elf VR Reference Design: 2018 CES Innovation Award
Honoree – The Elf VR reference design is the world’s most compact
and lightweight virtual reality headset that boasts stereo 4K
resolution at 120Hz refresh rate. Elf is made possible by Kopin’s
Lightning™ OLED microdisplays that boast an impressive pixel
density of 2,940 PPI – approximately 400% higher than conventional
TFT-LCD, OLED and AMOLED displays at 20% of the size. These
industry-leading display capabilities enables Elf VR reference
design to eliminate the barriers and limitations that have long
stood in the way of delivering an effective VR experience –
uncomfortably bulky and heavy headset designs, the annoying
pixelated “screen-door effect” due to insufficient display
resolution, and frame rates that are too slow for fast action
games, movies or sports.
Kopin/Pico Interactive Co-Developed Mobile Home Theater
Headset (Codenamed “Eagle”): A 2018 CES Innovation Award
Honoree, Eagle from Pico Interactive is a lightweight mobile
headset that fuses a home theater entertainment experience with
mobile viewing capabilities. To make Eagle possible, Kopin created
the concept design and supplied optical modules to Pico including
its Lightning™ 720p OLED microdisplay, which delivers 1280 x 720
resolution in a 0.49-inch diagonal size. Kopin is also taking an
equity stake in a new subsidiary of Pico, Qingdao Yueshi Technology
Co. Ltd. Featuring over-ear noise cancelling Hi-Fi headphones and a
removable high-definition Kopin OLED display band, Eagle provides a
home theater viewing experience anywhere, while still allowing the
user’s peripheral vision. The OLED display band provides the
equivalent of an 80” HD screen when viewed from 10ft away. When the
display isn’t needed users can detach it from the headphones and
turn Eagle into a very high-quality set of noise-cancelling
headphones. More information here.
Kopin will demonstrate Elf, SOLOS, Eagle, its new OLED
Microdisplay, and a range of other technology components and
concepts, at CES January 9 – 12, 2018 in its demo suite. To
schedule a private meeting, please contact Kopin at
events@kopin.com.
SOLOS will be on display and demonstrable in real-life cycling
and running scenarios at the SOLOS booth located at Sands, Halls
A-D, Booth #45031.
Kopin will showcase and demonstrate Elf and SOLOS at Pepcom
Digital Experience! in the Mirage, the evening of Monday, January
8th, 2018.
