TAUNTON – Kopin Corp., a supplier of semiconductor products to large electronics manufacturers and government agencies, has been awarded a $3.2 million contract from the Department of Defense to develop ultra-high resolution color microdisplays for the U.S. Army’s Future Force Warrior Program and other applications.
The program is designed to improve effectiveness and survivability in battle with technological advances in miniaturized electronics, wireless communications, nano-textiles and ultra-low-power communications systems into soldiers’ equipment and uniforms, Kopin said in a statement.
The two-year contract will result in the delivery of the CyberDisplay1280 CF MVA, which will allow soldiers to view more battlefield information through a head-mounted unit. Smaller than a postage stamp, the display provides a full-size, ultra-wide-angle HDTV-quality image, Kopin said. It will be the highest density color display of such size in the world, the company said.
