Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN), a pioneering provider of application-specific optical solutions and high-performance microdisplays for defense, enterprise, consumer and medical products, today announced it has achieved a milestone in the development of its NeuralDisplay™ platform software.

The innovative software platform has now reached the Alpha testing stage of development, marking a significant milestone in Kopin’s NeuralDisplay™ development efforts. Since beginning development in 2023, Kopin has aimed to revolutionize the Organic Light Emitting Diode on Silicon (OLEDoS) and Micro Light Emitting Diode (MicroLED) microdisplays for defense, consumer and other spatial computing applications.

We believe NeuralDisplay™ could eliminate the need for dedicated cameras used for eye tracking in many spatial computing systems, thereby reducing size, weight, power consumption and cost. The Neural display is designed to enable dynamic brightness, contrast and gaze controls, eye fatigue monitoring and rapid response to neurological stimuli such as pupil dilation due to fight-or-flight response.

Accomplishing this required a unique innovation. The human eye is the gateway to the user’s environment and their neurological state. By integrating traditional RGB pixels, image-sensing pixels and advanced signal processing algorithms into a silicon backplane, NeuralDisplay™ achieves high-fidelity eye tracking, gaze monitoring and neurological response analysis, while maintaining real-time display performance.

The demonstration video of Kopin’s NeuralDisplay™ eye-tracking software can be viewed here. The video showcases a user controlling a spaceship with their eye movements, with the software tracking and measuring these movements. The green captions indicate pupil size, and the red circle shows the eye's focus point, with the spaceship following the user's gaze.

“We believe NeuralDisplay™ is a revolutionary platform poised to redefine user interaction across various industries, from defense to consumer electronics,” said Bill Maffucci, Kopin’s Senior Vice President of Business Development and Strategy. “With its cutting-edge display architecture, integrated AI, and developer-friendly software ecosystem, we believe NeuralDisplay™ could become the cornerstone of next-generation spatial computing and visual systems.”
