Abstract

Kopin Corp has been awarded a defence contract for production of display systems that will help soldiers ‘see’ in total darkness, adverse weather, battle field smoke and dust. The contract was awarded because the CyberDisplay 640M microdisplay system met aggressive weight, battery life and reliability targets. Kopin will supply Raytheon Company with microdisplay systems based on the industrial grade Cyber-Display 640M. A rugged active matrix liquid crystal display, it will operate as the IR viewing device on Raytheon’s Light Thermal Weapon Sight designed for U.S. Army- and Marine-issued M-16 and M-4 rifles. Technology research firm Maxtech International estimates that the US market for infrared imaging devices will exceed $2bn by 2004. This is a short news story only.
