The Divesoft ODA, which works in combination with its Liberty
2021 Edition rebreather unit, enables divers to constantly view
essential diving data, even in the most extreme diving conditions.
At only 150 grams, the lightweight mountable display screen with
sapphire glass optics provides important diving information, such
as setpoint, depth, time, decompression and ascent rate, which
helps to increase both the comfort and safety of the diver. Graphic
indicators display the pressures in the oxygen and diluent
cylinders, along with the reliability of the oxygen sensors. Red
flashes indicate if values are exceeded and no longer safe. The
adjustable mount and variable focus of the ODA make it easy for
divers to fine-tune the display screen and reach an optimum level
of comfort while diving.
“The Optical Display Adapter is a very exciting product for
Divesoft,” said Lucie Šmejkalová and Aleš Procháska, joint Founders
and CEOs of Divesoft. “We always aim to offer our customers diving
products with the latest technological advances. The design-in of
Kopin’s full color display and ASIC into our ODA product has given
us that opportunity. Kopin’s LCD and driver IC are essential
components of the Divesoft ODA. The small form factor and
incredible image quality make the WQVGA an excellent choice for our
display screen.”
"We are very pleased that Divesoft chose Kopin’s WQVGA LVS
display and A230 ASIC for the Divesoft ODA,” said Greg Truman, Head
of Kopin's Industrial and Enterprise Display Business. “Our WQVGA
microdisplay is a popular display in the wearable market because it
offers users a bright, clean, easily readable image in a small form
factor. Our products offer the industry’s highest quality and
Divesoft’s selection of our display validates it.”
Kopin's patented CyberDisplay® WQVGA LVS is a color-filter
active-matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) with a resolution of
428x240. The WQVGA LVS display utilizes high-performance single
crystal silicon transistors and is the smallest (0.20” diagonal)
transmissive AMLCD for the resolution. The WQVGA LVS display,
backlight and A230 driver ASIC together consume less than 100 mW at
a display brightness of 1000 nits, sufficient for outdoor usage. A
frame buffer memory residing in the ASIC offers further power
savings.
