Virtual Movie Theater in eyewear

The Accupix MPG-230M is a multimedia "virtual movie theater" eyewear that lets users watch DVDs and other movie sources. The display consists of a microdisplay system composed of the CyberDisplay 180K, a TV decoder and driver controller chipset supplied by Kopin.

The device weighs only three ounces and displays a virtual image equivalent to 30-inch diagonal screen viewed from six feet away. Its electronics operate on three AA batteries and accept a composite NTSC video input signal. The device is available now in Korea and will be available in other distribution channels by the end of the year.

The Accupix MPG-230M incorporates the ultra small Kopin CyberDisplay 180K, a 0.24-inch diagonal color filter active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) with an active resolution of 800 x 225, or 180,000 pixels. Kopin CyberDisplays are the world's smallest active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs) featuring color filter technology.
