Liquidity totaled $59.5 million in cash, restricted cash, and marketable securities.
Kopin (NASDAQ: KOPN) purchased a state-of-the-art OLED deposition system and related equipment to establish full-scale OLED microdisplay manufacturing at its Westborough, Massachusetts headquarters. The move shifts key OLED production in-house for U.S. defense demand, targeting faster response, greater flexibility, cost efficiency and potential margin expansion.
Kopin will still use Asian partners for consumer and medical products and a European OLED partner for NATO-aligned defense, while building domestic LCD, OLED and MicroLED capacity, supported in part by its IBAS program award from the U.S. Department of War.
Kopin (NASDAQ: KOPN) was awarded a $21.5 million follow-on production contract to manufacture a U.S.-made custom thermal-imaging eyepiece assembly for a major U.S. defense prime contractor.
The assembly integrates Kopin microdisplay, precision optics, drive electronics and ruggedized enclosure, expands backlog, and emphasizes domestic, vertically integrated manufacturing and supply-chain security.
