Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN) a leading provider of application-specific optical solutions and high-performance micro-displays for defense, enterprise, consumer, and medical products, today announced it will be demonstrating daytime and nighttime readable Head-Up Display (HUD) concepts during the Special Operations Forces (SOF) Week from May 6^th to May 10^th in Tampa, Florida.

The need for advanced head-mounted display solutions that are easily readable in all ambient lighting conditions is increasing as the number of digital information sources for the Warfighter continues to expand. Warfighters require a solution that can display a wide variety of information in a heads-up viewing configuration, eliminating the loss of situational awareness that comes from viewing information in a “head-down” mode. Kopin is developing several products that address this growing market by capitalizing on the company’s strong technology portfolio and extensive experience with dismounted Warfighter vision systems.

“We believe Kopin is unique in its ability to supply existing and emerging high-performance display technologies, which provides our customers the ability to address a multitude of applications,” stated Nic Peterson, Kopin’s Director of Business Development for Warfighter Vision. “We believe our broad display portfolio, coupled with a strong complement of novel near-eye optics and a thorough understanding of human visual system performance, allows us to provide HUD products that meet the operational needs of the Warfighter. We look forward to discussing and demonstrating Kopin’s capabilities for supplying electro-optical solutions to the armed services and our collaborative partners.”

SOF Week is the premier convention for the entire SOF Community. Kopin encourages customers to reach Nic Peterson at NPeterson@Kopin.com to pre-arrange private discussions and demonstrations during the convention.
