Kopin Corporation is an American company that designs and manufactures microdisplays and near-eye optical systems for defense, enterprise, industrial, medical and consumer products, including augmented reality and virtual reality headsets. It was founded by John C.C. Fan, a semiconductor researcher from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); Kopin's filings and a 2023 company announcement date its organization to April 1984 and its Delaware incorporation to 1984, while the company's online timeline and a 2022 press release give 1985. Its headquarters are at 125 North Drive in Westborough, Massachusetts, and its stock trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol KOPN.[1][2][3][4]

Kopin makes very small displays, typically an inch or less across, that are viewed through magnifying optics close to the eye. It says it is the only company in the United States manufacturing four types of microdisplays: active-matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCD, marketed as CyberDisplay), ferroelectric liquid crystal on silicon (FLCoS), OLED on silicon and MicroLED.[5] Its displays have been used in camera and camcorder viewfinders, military thermal weapon sights, night-vision goggles and pilot helmet-mounted displays, enterprise smart glasses such as the Google Glass Enterprise Edition, and VR reference designs.[1][6] Defense product sales, excluding research and development contracts, accounted for 74 percent of its revenue in fiscal 2025.[2]

History

Founding and early technology

John C.C. Fan earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, and master's and doctoral degrees in applied physics at Harvard University before joining MIT's Lincoln Laboratory, where he researched semiconductors. He founded Kopin in 1984 with research colleagues, and the venture firms Venrock Associates and Cardinal Partners supplied its initial funding of 300,000 US dollars.[7] A Providence Journal report quoted in the same company history explains the name as an amalgam of the Chinese words "Ko" and "Pin", loosely translated as "a good product for a fair price".[7]

The company's early work was not in displays. In 1986 Kopin developed thin-film gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells, which it describes as reaching a world-record efficiency above 30 percent under the AM0 (space sunlight) standard.[1] Kopin went public in April 1992 in an initial public offering that raised 15 million US dollars.[7] In 1995 it launched heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) wafers, its first commercially successful product; Kopin describes the HBT as a basic building block for sending signals in wireless devices.[1][7]

Move into microdisplays

In 1990 Kopin received a 50 million US dollar contract from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop microdisplays using its proprietary wafer lift-off process, which transfers thin films of active circuitry off a host wafer.[1] In 1997 it introduced CyberDisplay, which it called the world's smallest high-performance, high-resolution display, aimed at electronic viewfinders.[1] The first consumer product to use a CyberDisplay was the viewfinder of a JVC camcorder in 1999, and Panasonic signed on as a customer in January 2000.[7] In 2003 Kopin unveiled a VGA microdisplay with a 0.44-inch diagonal, then the smallest available.[1]

Defense displays

In 2004 Kopin delivered displays and optical modules for U.S. Army weapon sights and Air Force pilot helmets.[1] In 2006 ITT Industries Night Vision selected Kopin's CyberDisplay SVGA microdisplay, a ruggedized 800 by 600 pixel panel, for the display subsystem of the Army's Enhanced Night Vision Goggle, which optically merges thermal imagery with image-intensified light.[8]

Kopin's timeline lists an order for F-35 pilot helmet displays in 2013.[1] The company says it has been the sole supplier of AMLCD microdisplays for the F-35 Lightning II helmet-mounted display system since the start of the program. The system is developed by Collins Elbit Vision Systems, a joint venture of Collins Aerospace and Elbit America; a September 2024 follow-on order from Collins Aerospace was worth 2 million US dollars, and Kopin said the AMLCD designed into the system was set to transition to its OLED-on-silicon (OLEDoS) microdisplay.[9] Other named military display customers in its filings include Raytheon and DRS RSTA.[10]

Acquisitions

On 11 January 2011 Kopin bought Forth Dimension Displays (FDD), a Scottish maker of high-resolution ferroelectric reflective microdisplays, for about 11 million US dollars in cash plus an earnout tied to revenue milestones. Fan said the deal made Kopin the only microdisplay maker able to offer complete systems with either reflective or transmissive liquid crystal displays.[11] FDD's products were later folded into Kopin's own website, with the same staff and location.[12] Kopin's LCOS displays, which are also sold as spatial light modulators for 3D optical inspection systems, are made by its subsidiary Kopin Europe Limited in Dalgety Bay, Scotland.[2] In March 2017 Kopin bought all outstanding stock of NVIS, a Reston, Virginia maker of virtual reality systems for training and simulation, for 3.7 million US dollars.[10]

Head-worn computers and wearables

In 2009 Kopin unveiled Golden-i, a reference design for a complete head-worn computer controlled by voice and gestures.[1] Motorola Solutions commercialized the platform as the HC1 headset computer in October 2012; Engadget gave the Golden-i's price as 2,500 US dollars and said it was unknown whether the HC1 would keep that price.[13] Kopin licensed certain intellectual property to RealWear in exchange for a warrant, which it exercised in 2018 to take 15 percent of the shares in RealWear's next equity offering; it invested a further 2.5 million US dollars in 2019 and wrote the investment down to zero that year. RealWear chief executive Andrew Chrostowski said in 2022 that his company had had a strategic relationship with Kopin since its inception.[10][14]

Kopin's history dates its SOLOS smart glasses for athletes to 2015.[1] The glasses went on sale in May 2018 for 500 US dollars, with a small heads-up "Pupil" display, turn-by-turn navigation, live performance metrics and Kopin's Whisper voice chip for speech recognition in noisy environments.[15] On 30 September 2019 Kopin sold and licensed the Solos product line and its Whisper audio technology to Solos Technology, receiving 1,172,000 common shares, a 20.0 percent stake in Solos Inc.[10]

At Augmented World Expo on 31 May 2018 Kopin announced the Golden-i Infinity, a 1.5-ounce clip-on monocular display that attaches to safety glasses, bump caps or hard hats and connects over USB Type-C to an Android phone or Windows 10 mini PC. It had a WVGA (854x480) display with a 20-degree field of view, brightness up to 2,000 nits, nine-axis head tracking and a 13-megapixel camera, and was scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2018 through value-added resellers at a suggested retail price of 899 US dollars.[16] By January 2019 about 100 organizations had signed up to pilot it, and Kopin said it was shipping evaluation units to customers including more than a dozen Fortune 500 companies.[17]

Leadership changes

Fan led Kopin as chief executive from its founding until 6 September 2022, when Michael Murray, previously president of the cyber business at the British defense company Ultra Electronics Group, became chief executive officer. Fan stayed on as chairman and said he would focus on strategic and scientific matters, especially those related to the metaverse.[4] After the May 2023 annual meeting the board elected director James Brewington as chairman, with Fan remaining a director.[3] Kopin announced on 11 June 2024 that Fan and Brewington had retired from the board and that Murray had been appointed chairman following the annual meeting on 6 June.[18] Kopin still described Murray as chairman and chief executive in October 2025.[19]

OLED restructuring and Lightning Silicon Technology

On 5 January 2023 Kopin announced a restructuring that spun its consumer OLED development unit out to Lightning Silicon Technology, a company formed by Fan. Lightning Silicon received a license to certain Kopin OLED intellectual property for the consumer market, which Kopin described as an exclusive bilateral license, while Kopin kept a 20 percent stake, royalties on product sales and the right to make OLED displays for defense and enterprise customers. Together with other staff cuts, Kopin expected the move to reduce its annualized payroll expense by about 25 percent.[20] On 10 June 2026 Kopin sold its shares in Lightning Silicon Technology and the related LS Assets back to those companies for 1 US dollar each, ending its equity interest. The technology license between the two companies had been terminated on 10 April 2026, and a transition agreement gave Kopin a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free worldwide license to certain Lightning Silicon OLED microdisplay technology.[21]

On 11 May 2026 Kopin said it had bought an OLED deposition system to set up full-scale OLED microdisplay production at its Westborough headquarters, ending a fabless OLED model for U.S. defense work. It cited demand for fully U.S.-built displays for first-person-view (FPV) drone systems, thermal weapon sights and other soldier-borne equipment, and said it would keep Asian partners for consumer and medical products and a European deposition partner for NATO-aligned programs. Murray said the change would improve the company's control over quality, lead times and pricing.[22]

MicroLED and the defense focus

Kopin began developing ultra-bright microLED displays in 2019.[1] On 29 April 2025 it announced a multi-year 7.5 million US dollar order for microdisplays for pilot helmet-mounted display systems with augmented reality capabilities, from an unnamed Tier 1 U.S. Department of Defense prime contractor, bringing its 2025 helmet-display orders to 13.5 million US dollars. It also won an Army Soldier Display Trade Study to define microLED requirements for extended reality heads-up displays for soldiers.[23]

On 8 August 2025 Kopin announced agreements for a 15 million US dollar strategic investment from THEON International, a maker of night vision and thermal imaging systems, which closed on 16 October 2025. THEON bought 49 percent of Kopin Europe for 8.0 million US dollars and 7.0 million US dollars of Kopin's Series A convertible preferred stock, and the companies also entered licensing and joint development agreements for military products.[2] At the closing they said they were contemplating a separately funded 8 million US dollar engineering agreement to co-develop a military-grade display.[19] On 15 September 2025 Kopin announced a 15.4 million US dollar award from the Office of the Secretary of Defense under the Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program to develop full-color microLED displays for ground soldier augmented reality applications, with U.S. manufacturing.[24] In October 2025 it announced about 3.2 million US dollars in orders from a tier one aerospace company for microLED displays to upgrade legacy heads-up displays in fielded combat aircraft, which it called the first production order for the technology in combat aircraft; the displays are rated at up to 1 million foot-lamberts with a 4-megapixel resolution at 120 frames per second.[25]

The Boston Globe reported in October 2025 that a monochrome Kopin microLED prototype was painfully bright even at 10 percent power; Murray told the paper that much of the light is absorbed by the waveguides that carry the image to the eye, so a very bright source keeps the final image sharp. The same report described Kopin's NeuralDisplay approach, which places sensors in the display to detect light reflected from the user's eye and uses an AI algorithm to adjust brightness within 500 microseconds, so a soldier moving between sunlight and darkness keeps a readable image. Kopin was targeting the Army's Soldier Borne Mission Command program.[26] In August 2026 Kopin reported that its full-color microLED had passed 150,000 nits of single-panel brightness under the IBAS program, that new U.S. microLED bonding equipment had been delivered to its Westborough headquarters, and that it was targeting domestic manufacturing in mid-2027.[27][28]

Microdisplay technologies

Kopin's four display families differ in brightness, power use and cost, and the company also sells optics, electronics and housings around them through its Application Specific Optical Solutions business.[2]

Kopin says it holds more than 200 patents and has shipped 35 million commercial displays and 300,000 fielded defense displays.[1]

XR work

Most of Kopin's relevance to VR and AR comes from its role as a component supplier: it sells the displays and optical modules that go inside head-mounted displays, smart glasses and helmet systems, and has built reference designs that other companies can turn into products.[1][31]

Enterprise AR glasses

Kopin supplied the microdisplay for Google's first-generation Glass Enterprise Edition and was selected again for the Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2, announced in May 2019. Google's Glass project lead Jay Kothari said the company chose Kopin again after testing all of the microdisplays available.[6] Kopin's fiscal 2019 annual report lists Google, Vuzix and RealWear as buyers of its AMLCD displays for enterprise wearables.[10] Kopin took an equity interest in Lenovo New Vision in 2018 for 1.0 million US dollars and a contribution of intellectual property, and held about 10 percent of it at the end of 2025.[2] In January 2022 Kopin announced that it was supplying an updated version of its Golden Pearl module, a 0.32-inch 24-bit full-color LCD microdisplay with optics giving a 23-degree field of view, for the recently launched RealWear Navigator 500.[14]

Lightning OLED for VR

At CES 2017 Kopin introduced Lightning, an OLED-on-silicon microdisplay aimed at compact mobile VR headsets. The panel measured 1 inch diagonally with 2048x2048 pixels at 120 Hz. Combined with Kopin's "Pantile" optics, the company described a roughly 90-degree field of view in a form factor no larger than a thick pair of glasses. Road to VR noted that the per-eye resolution was about triple that of the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift (1080x1200 per eye), and Fan said Kopin could make the panels for about 50 US dollars each.[29]

On 1 June 2017, at Augmented World Expo, Kopin and Goertek showed the Elf VR reference design built around two Lightning panels (2,940 pixels per inch), with interchangeable optics for a 70-degree or a 100-degree field of view. Kopin said the design cut optical module thickness by about 60 percent and headset weight by about 50 percent compared with standard solutions.[31][32] The 300-gram Elf VR was named a CES 2018 Innovation Awards honoree.[33]

Kopin's 2.6K x 2.6K (2560x2560) color OLED microdisplay was used in the VR glasses that Panasonic showed at CES 2021, which paired it with pancake optics from 3M. On a 1.3-inch diagonal, the panel used Kopin's ColorMax color management for more than 100 percent sRGB coverage, a duo-stack OLED structure rated above 1,000 nits, a contrast ratio above 10,000:1 and 10-bit color, with a MIPI interface and display stream compression.[30]

Military AR

Kopin's defense displays go into equipment that overlays imagery or data on a user's view of the world: pilot helmet-mounted displays with AR capabilities, thermal weapon sights, night-vision goggles and aircraft heads-up displays.[23][8][25] Its color microLED program is aimed at soldier vision systems as the U.S. Army moves from the Integrated Visual Augmentation System to the Soldier Borne Mission Command program.[28] Kopin also holds a Phase 2 Small Business Innovation Research contract for an Off-the-Visor extended reality heads-up display prototype for the Army.[24][27]

Finances and current status

As of September 2026 Kopin is a Nasdaq-listed company (KOPN) led by chief executive Michael Murray.[27] In fiscal 2025 it had revenue of about 39.3 million US dollars, with defense product sales (excluding research and development contracts) making up 74 percent, and 145 full-time employees in the United States.[2] Revenue for the second quarter of 2026, which ended on 27 June, was 12.7 million US dollars, up from 8.5 million US dollars a year earlier, helped by grant revenue from the government microLED award and collaboration revenue.[27] Awards reported with its first-quarter 2026 results included a 21.5 million US dollar follow-on production contract for thermal-imaging eyepieces from a major U.S. defense prime contractor.[5] The Boston Globe reported in October 2025 that Kopin's 2024 annual report showed about 402 million US dollars in net losses since its founding and had warned of substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern; after the THEON investment and other funding, Murray told the paper the company was a going concern again. Eric Virey, a microdisplay analyst at Yole Group quoted in that report, said the only company then shipping microLED screens was the Chinese maker JBD.[26]

On 28 April 2026 Kopin announced a collaboration with Fabric.AI on Neural I/o, an optical interconnect that uses Kopin's microLED and NeuralDisplay architecture and is designed to replace copper wiring between GPUs and other processors in data centers. Fabric.AI placed a 15 million US dollar purchase order to fund a demonstration chipset; under the agreement Kopin owns 19.9 percent of Fabric.AI and is to be the exclusive manufacturer of the Neural I/o chipsets.[34]

Kopin should not be confused with EMagin, another U.S. OLED microdisplay maker, which agreed in May 2023 to be acquired by Samsung Display for 218 million US dollars.[35]
