The displays are precisely aligned to the optics and to each other for viewing comfort, and the package is designed to maintain the alignment during use. Its low power consumption (less than 450 mW) allows long viewing time without recharging the battery. The BDM-230K frees video eyewear manufacturers from technical complexity of integrating display system components, allowing them to cost-effectively design stylish products that consumers want.

Dr. Boryeu Tsaur, Kopin's executive vice president for display operation said that the i-Theatre system is the latest in a growing series of Kopin OEM design wins in which their Digital iVision technology is the video engine inside consumer video eyewear. This sudden market explosion is proof that the mobile video revolution has begun and will change the way information and entertainment is delivered to people on the go.

Kopin's Digital iVision technology offers big pictures on the go in a compact package. Digital iVision technology compresses the full-screen image into tiny microdisplays. The image is then enlarged using optical elements that enable the eyes to perceive a much larger image. The key enabler for Digital iVision technology is Kopin's CyberDisplay(R) microdisplays which are the industry's smallest light-transmitting liquid crystal displays for the resolution -- in sizes ranging from a grain of rice to a postage stamp, which has better than high-definition TV resolution. Kopin's transmissive displays allow thin, simple optical elements, which translates into lightweight compact eyewear.
