Kopin Hires LCD Expert Hideki Matsukawa From Panasonic Liquid Crystal Display Company...Follow the Leader Started in March

"We will call it, the Golden I-mmersive"

when Kopin hired Bill Mafucci as VP of Biz Development focusing on the Military. Mr. Mafucci was a colleague of Jerry Carollo at Intevac when Intevac was designing and building State-of-the-Art Digital Night Vision HMDs, I-Port, Night-Port etc. The world became aware in November that eMagin and Jerry Carollo were far along in the development of their Immersive Head Mounted Display and it's easy to imagine Dr. Fan, I'll say scramble, to find someone who had an idea how JC accomplished his radical, new microdisplay enabled device.
   Now what do we need? Ah, prism and optics. Let's hire Mr. Iba, also hired this past March to help us design systems for wearable VR (first time Kopin EVER mentioned VR) and AR.
   What's left for Dr. Fan after getting a heads up, pun intended, on what was coming from eMagin in terms of displays and optics? Enter Mr. Matsukawa who was hired to help design the next generation of LCD Transmissive displays. There it is, Kopin's hiring Blitzkrieg aimed at getting a design, prototype, whatever they can to start tossing around "VR Headset", "VR Wearable" etc. the kind of buzzwords Fan always uses to garner attention and buy time. Does anybody remember who finished second to American Pharaoh in the Derby?
