KOPN.....growing customer demand for its HBT device wafers, a key component in the production of high performance integrated circuits used in advanced digital cellular phones, high speed SONET networks and other communication devices. Kopin is a leading developer and manufacturer of high resolution, flat panel display products and Wafer-Engineered(tm) device wafers for telecommunications and digital imaging applications. Founded in 1984 with initial technology developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Kopin holds over 125 patents and patent applications for technological breakthroughs in flat panel display and device wafers technology. These technologies have enabled Kopin to market display products and device wafers that enhance the delivery and presentation of video, voice and data. The Company has combined advanced AMLCD and integrated circuit technology to produce its CyberDisplay family of ultra-small, high density imaging devices. Telecommunication providers are using Kopin's device wafers for high-performance integrated circuits used primarily in advanced cellular phones and other communications devices. Currently, millions of the cellular handsets in the market today have our HBT product inside. Our products are especially advantageous for high frequency, digital operations providing enhanced system performance and ease of use. Our second product, introduced in April 1997, is the CyberDisplay, an exciting new microdisplay. CyberDisplays allow users to see images similar to displays used in portable notebook screens, except now the display is quite small and enable OEMs with an entire new business opportunity in ultra portable applications. The CyberDisplay is based on the same technology as that of the notebook monitor, but by using our Wafer-Engineering technology, CyberDisplay more than 1000 times smaller and consumes 100 times less power than a conventional PC monitor. Using an appropriate optic, the CyberDisplay provides bright, sharp, readable images - ideal for both camcorder and digital cameral viewfinder, as well as ultra-portable, low cost, wireless communication and personal information devices. We currently sell our CyberDisplay products to OEMs either as a single component or as a unit with a lens and backlight. We provide CyberDisplay products to JVC for use in two of its CyberCam digital camcorder models and to Mustek for user in digital cameras. In addition, we are working with numerous customers including IBM and British Telecom and others to develop new applications for our CyberDisplay products. Kopin is keeping its commitments to our customers by teaming with them for product developments offering a broad range of product solutions using both our display and GaAs technologies. We continue to make significant investments in our research and development and are achieving excellent progress in our Wafer-Engineering technology, which forms the backbone of both of our exciting product lines.
