Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN), a leading developer and provider of high-performance micro displays announced its Lightning® 2.6K x 2.6K (2560 x 2560 resolution) OLED (organic light emitting diode) display on chip (DoCTM) are incorporated in Panasonic’s VR Glasses introduced at the CES 2021 this week. This industry-leading 2.6K x 2.6K OLED micro display on Si integrates many functional blocks including MIPI serial interface, display stream compression (DSC) and memory.

HDR VR Glass does not have a power source or processor to operate; however, it is designed to connect to a personal computer or a 5G smartphone gear via USB-C. Various SteamVR titled contents can be experienced when the HDR VR Glass was connected to a PC.
