Interesting form factor for viewing full color display. iisvr.com Also Sanyo is announcing a wireless phone display like this for their color phones. Hope it will be out for CDMA as well as W-CDMA. We at SANYO are extremely pleased to have found in the CyberDisplay(TM) 640C and 320C a display solution with the size, power efficiency, weight and resolution characteristics necessary to provide next-generation, video-enabled functionality in a mobile device," said Dr. Kenji Torazawa, general manager of R&D for SANYO. "Kopin's team of engineers worked very closely with us to integrate the CyberDisplay into our mobile devices, and their efforts underscore Kopin's leadership position in the microdisplay industry. We are fortunate to have partnered with Kopin early in this next-generation technology development, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them." "Kopin's collaboration with SANYO validates the market drive for full-speed, video-capable wireless handsets and wearable TVs," said Dr. John C.C. Fan, Kopin's president and CEO. "Our CyberDisplay's unique combination of compact size yet large virtual image represents the advanced technology to enable video capability in next-generation mobile devices. We are proud to be working with SANYO, a leader in the worldwide market, to bring these unique handsets and wearable TVs to market." SANYO will demonstrate two versions of a cellular phone and one version of a mobile TV at CEATEC. One version of the cellular phone features CyberDisplay(TM) 640C in a swivel-mounted monocular display attached at the base of a cellular phone. The other version uses an attached binocular head-mounted display (HMD). The mobile wearable TV features Kopin's CyberDisplay(TM) 320C in an attached binocular HMD. Providing the optical systems for the CyberDisplay(TM)-enabled SANYO handset and HMD is MicroOptical Corporation, a Massachusetts-based maker of optical systems that enable hands-free use of cell phones, DVD players, wearable computers, camcorders and other portable electronic devices. "Having a high-quality optical system is essential in enabling the superior functionality of the Kopin CyberDisplay, especially for wireless handsets," said Dr. Fan. "MicroOptical's ultra-lightweight, easy-to-integrate optical system is a perfect fit for this application." The CyberDisplay(TM) 640C is a 0.38-inch diagonal transmissive active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) with 640 by 480 pixel resolution (VGA), while the CyberDisplay(TM) 320C is a 0.24-inch diagonal device with 320 by 240 pixel resolution (QVGA). In addition to displaying standard text and graphics, the display operates at video speeds with 24-bit colors. The CyberDisplays offer OEMs high-quality images and the low power consumption that portable products require. Kopin's CyberDisplays are currently used extensively in consumer applications, including camcorders from JVC, Matsushita/Panasonic and Samsung, personal entertainment systems and military applications.

Art, I used the term physiological, not psychological. A physiological effect is one that involves one or more bio-chemical or physical processes of a living organism. The point of my original response to you was that there is now evidence of faster reaction times for those exposed to radio waves emitted by cell phones. It seems then that the transmissions from cell phones do affect our brain, and therefore it is not preposterous to think that that there could be negative effects. Ashley
