Kopin's Chief Display Technologist Receives Special Recognition Award at Society for Information Display International Symposium.TAUNTON, Mass. -- Dr. Hiap L. Ong honored for contributions to the science and technology of LCDs Kopin Corporation (Nasdaq: KOPN) today announced that Kopin's Chief Display Technologist, Dr. Hiap L. Ong, received the Special Recognition Award at the SID (Society for Information Display) International Symposium held last week in Boston "for his many contributions to the science and technology of liquid crystal displays (LCDs), especially optical modeling and characterizations." Dr. Ong has worked for more than 25 years on LCD electro-optical properties and improvements as well as on microdisplays and fast LCDs for color sequential applications. He has performed pioneering and continued work on the wide viewing angle film compensated TN and MVA MVA abbr. motor vehicle accident MVA Motor vehicular/vehicle accident, see there LCDs. "I am deeply honored to receive this Special Recognition Award from SID," said Dr. Ong. "I am very proud to have been a part of LCD technology development and to have contributed to this very important industry. I appreciate the collaboration I have been able to enjoy with my many colleagues throughout my career, including those at Kopin." "I am very pleased for Dr. Ong and happy he has received this prestigious SID recognition award," said Dr. John C. C. Fan, Kopin's president and chief executive officer. "Dr. Ong has contributed to many aspects of the LCD technical field and to Kopin's LCD technology development in particular. I especially appreciate the significant contributions he has made to Kopin over the past decade." Dr. Ong received his B.S. degree in mathematics and physics and his B.S. (Honors) degree in physics from Singapore Nanyang University Nanyang University (Chinese: 南洋大学, abbreviated Nantah, 南大) was a Chinese university in Singapore. The idea of a Chinese university in Singapore to provide higher education to the Chinese community was first mooted by Tan Lark Sye in , in 1978 and 1979 respectively, and his Ph.D. in physics from Brandeis University Brandeis University, at Waltham, Mass.; coeducational; chartered and opened 1948. Although Brandeis was founded by members of the American Jewish community, the university operates as an independent, nonsectarian institution. in 1984. Before joining Kopin in 1995, Dr. Ong worked at IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York Yorktown Heights is an unincorporated hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) located in the town of Yorktown in Westchester County, New York. The population was 7,972 people at the 2000 census. as LCD Research Staff Member for 10 years. He received the first Glenn Brown Award for Outstanding Ph.D. Thesis in the field of liquid crystals at the 1986 11th International Liquid Crystal Conference and four IBM awards. Currently, Dr. Ong is the editor-in-Chief for the World Scientific Publishing Established in 1981, World Scientific Publishing Company (WSPC) is one of the leading scientific publishers in the world, and the largest international scientific publisher in the Asia-Pacific region. Co. (Liquid Crystal Series and Information Display Series), and editor for the International Journal of Modern Physics and Modern Physics Letters. About Kopin Kopin is a leading developer and manufacturer of digital imaging and telecommunications technologies that enhance the delivery and presentation of video, voice and data. The company has combined advanced AMLCD (Active Matrix LCD) See active matrix. and integrated circuit technology to produce its CyberDisplay family of award-winning ultra-small, high-density imaging devices for consumer and defense systems, including camcorders, digital cameras, personal video eyewear and thermal weapons sights. Telecommunication providers are using Kopin's heterojunction bipolar transistor The heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) is an improvement of the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) that can handle signals of very high frequencies up to several hundred GHz. It is common in modern ultrafast circuits, mostly radio-frequency (RF) systems. (HBT HBT Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor HBT HyCult Biotechnology (Uden, The Netherlands) HBT Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (interferometer) HBT Herring Bone Twill HBT Heflex Bioengineering Test ) wafers in wireless handsets, Wi-Fi, VoIP and high-speed Internet data transmission. Kopin's HBTs are currently used in nearly one-third of the world's cell phones, and the CyberDisplay is the imaging device in nearly 40 percent of the world's camcorders. Kopin's CyberDisplay also is the microdisplay standard for the U.S. military. For more information, please visit Kopin's Web site at www.kopin.com. Kopin - The NanoSemiconductor Company(TM) |
