Westborough electronics manufacturer Kopin Corp. on Thursday announced it has partnered with an undisclosed Japanese company to develop full-color LED microdisplays on silicon.
Under the agreement, Kopin will develop and supply its proprietary backplane silicon wafers and its new partner will develop bonding and color conversion processes, according to a release from Kopin.
LED microdisplays have the potential for super high brightness, low power consumption, high contrast and wide viewing angle, according to Kopin, which are ideal features for many applications including see-through augmented reality and mixed reality applications.
The companies expect to demonstrate 1”-diagonal full-color 2K x 2K LED microdisplays within 24 months, according to the release.
