Kopin Puts 'Big Screen' in Pair of Shades
September 16, 2004
Seoul, Korea - Kopin Corp. and Accupix Inc. have teamed up to develop the Accupix MPG-230M, a "virtual movie theater" eyewear for watching DVDs or other video content.
The Accupix MPG-230M weighs only three ounces and displays a virtual image equivalent to 30-inch diagonal screen viewed from six feet away.
Its electronics operate on three AA batteries and accept a composite NTSC video input signal. The device is available now in Korea and will be available in other distribution channels by the end of the year.
The Accupix MPG-230M incorporates the ultra small Kopin CyberDisplay 180K, a 0.24-inch diagonal color filter active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) with an active resolution of 800 x 225, or 180,000 color pixels. Active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs) are used in camcorder and digital camera viewfinders, head-mounted devices, next-generation eyewear, and many other consumer and industrial applications.
Accupix, based in Korea, develops technology and design capability in optics, mechanics and electronics. Kopin is a large U.S. manufacturer of microdisplays for consumer, military and industrial applications, and uses nanotechnology to manufacture nanosemiconductor products and mobile electronic devices.
