Fan Receives 2004 New England Business and Technology Association Award.TAUNTON, Mass. -- Kopin Corporation (Nasdaq: KOPN) today announced that President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. John C.C. Fan has received a 2004 New England New England, name applied to the region comprising six states of the NE United States—Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The region is thought to have been so named by Capt. Business and Technology Association (NEBATA NEBATA New England Business and Technology Association ) award as one of 10 leaders making significant contributions to the development and deployment of technology in New England's business community. More than 100 nominations were submitted for the annual NEBATA awards. Winners were announced October 6th at the Omni Parker House The Omni Parker House Hotel is a hotel in Boston, Massachusetts, currently owned by Omni Hotels and named the Omni Parker House. Located on School Street near the corner of Tremont, not far from the seat of the Massachusetts state government, it has long been a frequent in Boston. "On behalf of all of Kopin's employees, who ultimately are the ones responsible for our success, I am honored to receive the New England Business and Technology Association Award and proud that Kopin continues to maintain its place as a business pioneer in New England," said Dr. Fan. "Kopin's innovative nanosemiconductor technologies have been at the forefront of the wireless and portable electronics industries for many years, and are becoming a more integral change agent in the way people communicate and share experiences through technology." Dr. Fan has overseen the development and introduction by Kopin of nanosemiconductor-based components in three categories: heterojunction bipolar transistors 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. for wireless handset and WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network applications; the CyberDisplay family of transmissive active matrix liquid crystal microdisplays for portable consumer, industrial and military electronics applications; and the CyberLite family of light emitting diodes See LED. featuring the Company's proprietary NanoPocket(TM) technology. Dr. Fan co-founded Kopin in 1984 following 12 years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory MIT Lincoln Laboratory, also known as Lincoln Lab, is a federally funded research and development center managed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and primarily funded by the United States Department of Defense. . As the leader of Lincoln Lab's Electronic Materials Group, he spearheaded semiconductor research in areas including thin-film optical coatings An optical coating is a process of placing thin layer of material on an optical component such as a lens or mirror which alters the way in which the optic reflects and transmits light. , photovoltaic cells, heteroepitaxy, wafer engineering, silicon and gallium arsenide An alloy of gallium and arsenic compound (GaAs) that is used as the base material for chips. Several times faster than silicon, it is used in high frequency applications such as cellphones, DVD players and fiber optics. electronic and photonic Dealing with light (photons). See photon and photonics. devices. Said Tom Hopcroft, President of the New England Business and Technology Association, "The 2004 winners of the New England Business and Technology Awards operate at the intersection of business and technology. They contribute winning ideas and best practices to utilizing technology as an enabler of business success, and are high-impact forces of change in the way business is conducted. Dr. Fan's accomplishments speak for themselves, and we are proud to recognize him as one of the leaders in the New England business community."
