WESTBOROUGH, Mass. –
Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN), a leading developer and provider of high-resolution microdisplays and application-specific optical subassemblies for defense, enterprise, consumer and medical products, today announced it has received a $1.1 million follow-on production order for an application-specific, long range optical weapon sight module.
“Kopin continues to be a leader in weapon sight eyepieces for soldiers, and this order is an example of our microdisplays and optical subassemblies being used in the most rugged environments around the world,” said Bill Maffucci, Kopin’s Sr. Vice President of Business Development and Strategy. “This follow-on order is for one of Kopin’s specialized weapon sight eyepieces.
