(Hong
Kong ˇV 14 October 2005) ˇV Enabled by Solomon
Systech (International) Limited (ˇ§Solomon Systechˇ¨
or the ˇ§Groupˇ¨, SEHK: 2878) and Kopin®
Corporation (ˇ§Kopinˇ¨, NASDAQ: KOPN), the Digital
iVision™
technology has won the Grand Award and Gold Award in
the 2005 Hong Kong Electronic Industries Association (HKEIA)
Award for Outstanding Innovation and Technology
Products. Digital iVision™
is the latest innovative technology that allows mobile
video applications in new eyewear. Its
two key components, Solomon Systechˇ¦s Microdisplay
Controller IC and Kopinˇ¦s CyberDisplay®
empower the exciting future mobile video applications
and spearhead next-generation ˇ§Big Pictures on the
Goˇ¨.
This
is the second consecutive year that innovative
breakthrough achieved by Solomon Systech and its
partner is honored by the awards.
The
main objectives of the HKEIA Award for Outstanding
Innovation and Technology Products are to recognize
and reward companies which are able to produce new
products with excellent design, technology or feature.
The winners were selected by an independent judging
panel comprising academia, representatives of public
bodies and different commercial fields.
Rising
resolution and increasingly vibrant colors are among
the growing requirements for portable displays.
Digital iVision™
technology incorporates extraordinary large virtual
images, high resolutions, and low battery consumption
in an ultra compact and lightweight Binocular Display
Module (ˇ§BDMˇ¨). It allows big pictures on the go
for existing digital mobile applications, such as
mobile phones, smart phones, DVD players, Portable
Media Players (PMP), portable PC and electronic games.
By freeing video eyewear manufacturers from the
technical complexity of the display system, this
latest technology will substantially shorten the time
to market and lower the cost of the video eyewear.
Mr.
Humphrey Leung, Solomon Systech's Managing Director,
welcomed the commendation, "With Solomon
Systech's proprietary IC technology and know-how, we
are among the first in the world to combine
high-definition and portability in affordable video
eyewear. We are one of the major global cellular phone
display IC suppliers, and will persist on growing our
mobile display business. The Group will also continue
to invest resources into developing total display IC
solutions for the future, promising display
technologies that will bring new applications and
change lifestyles."
