THE MISSING PIECES

• Display modules:

– We have a full line of display modules to meet any need – consumer & enterprise

– We have the world’s smallest, brightest and most energy efficient display modules for HMD (Pupil)

• Voice interface:

– We improve Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) success rate by almost 2X over competitive technologies in noisy (normal) environments

– We improve the clarity of human-to-human voice communications

• Power:

– We have collaborated with a top-tier Japan battery manufacturer to introduce a new battery for HMD with more than 2X more energy density than today’s Lithium batteries

• System design and integration:

– Our expertise in complete systems design is based in 20+ years of winning military headset programs worldwide

– We have over 300 patents covering all core aspects of HMD systems, displays, audio

WE FOCUS IN FOUR CRITICAL AREAS : A FEW HIGHLIGHTS

TM

WE FOCUS IN FOUR CRITICAL AREAS

• Display modules

– Comprehensive line of modules for all HMD needs: Consumer & Enterprise applications

• Displays: Full range of sizes and resolutions (including world’s smallest)

– 0.20” – 0.88” diagonal

– QVGA – QXGA

• Backlights: Super-high brightness, low power for inside and outside use

• Optics: Compact designs -- everyone wants small and good looking device – even in enterprise use

• Driver ASICs: small size, low power

• Voice interface

• Power – battery

• System design

WE FOCUS IN FOUR CRITICAL AREAS

• Display modules

• Voice interface:– Kopin has developed a voice chip that provides up to almost 2X improvement

in human-to-machine (H2M) automatic speech recognition (ASR) rates.

– New privacy features for both speaking and listening

– Demonstrate the new chip at 2016 CES

• Power – battery

• System design

WE FOCUS IN FOUR CRITICAL AREAS

• System design

• Display modules

• Voice interface

• Power – battery:

– Kopin has entered a partnership with Hitachi Maxell for the optimal HMD battery

– 2-3X increased energy density for battery volume

• System design

A NEW BATTERY TECHNOLOGY FOR WEARABLES

• Kopin and Hitachi-Maxell have partnered to bring a new battery technology to market

• 80-200% more energy density compared to today’s Li-Ion cells in the market.

– Means longer lasting battery for any given size

– Means smaller and lighter weight for any given capacity

• Utilizes Lithium ion technology with new anode formulation

• Safety tested

• To be demonstrated at 2016 CES

WE FOCUS IN FOUR CRITICAL AREAS

• Display modules

• Voice interface

• Power – battery

• System design and integration:

–We do systems design and integration for major customers

• Electronics platforms and layout

• Core components: smallest size, lowest power, high performance

• Firmware, software & Integration

• Industrial designs
