WESTBOROUGH, Mass. - Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:KOPN), a notable supplier of specialized optical solutions and micro-displays for various sectors, has reported significant progress in its efforts to establish a fabless OLED display production line dedicated to defense applications. The company has recently achieved two key milestones in this initiative.
Kopin is currently in the process of setting up an OLED deposition partnership in a strong NATO-member country in Europe. This collaboration is on schedule to be ready for production in 2024, aiming to meet the increasing demands of the Defense and Security markets.
Additionally, Kopin's European deposition partner has successfully completed initial life testing on sample displays. These tests have demonstrated minimal degradation in brightness after several thousand hours of operation at levels exceeding 20,000 cd/m2. The initial displays, which incorporate Kopin's proprietary backplane technology, have been produced and are now undergoing performance validation testing.
Kopin's strategy involves a fabless manufacturing approach, wherein the company collaborates with partner firms for silicon backplane fabrication and OLED deposition. This method is believed to provide Kopin with the flexibility to quickly adapt to technological changes and leverage unique performance capabilities in a cost-effective manner.
Bill Maffucci, Kopin's Senior Vice President of Business Development and Strategy, expressed satisfaction with the advancements made in establishing an additional OLED supply chain. He emphasized that these developments not only demonstrate that the company is on track for the transition in 2024 but also affirm the superior performance of Kopin's OLED displays within the market.
Kopin's portfolio includes Active-Matrix Liquid Crystal (AMLCD), Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS), and OLED displays, which are integral components for products in defense, industrial, and consumer markets.
