Our old (oldest) reseller T Helveka up there on the Frozen Tundra is selling Sony Microdisplays but there's a catch...
Is Tony serious about selling the Sony displays? No specs. Only comment is that they require a Driver Board. The Gen3 eMagin displays have the new Fiber Optic Faceplate and are roughly the same price as the Sony. Just a factoid.

I applaud the doggedness of the yahoo board to get to the bottom of yesterday's share price "action", call the authorities, SEC, all that. I had an occasion to ask the former cfo what the hell is it with the share price and it's whipsawing. He said "it's easily manipulated." Sounds right but I sure get the frustration of the leaks and wire bond and the snup down and all of it, whipsawing around(usually down) for no ascertainable reason. Good Luck in your endeavour. It's a good way to vent frustration.
Anyone heard that ENVG III has been delayed, postponed or otherwise? Nope, Keller is the best but the use of the past tense as to the fielding on the goggles seems without basis. However the new IR sensor the Army Research has discovered a new sensor material that's cheaper, no reason it could not be subbed later.

Like the Kopin Pep Rally, here is some "controversial" speculation. Anybody aware of a Microdisplay Company that has received a 7 figure payment for a display design?
Miesnieks article starting to float around again...
- Optics that fit inside a consumer frame and are bright enough for daylight use, sharp enough to easily read text & have a wide enough field of view. There’s really not much point to AR products that only work indoors. The whole point of AR is that you can get out & about & wear them as part of your daily life. The optics need to work outdoors on sunny days, and be sharp enough to read text. FoV is less important to AR than VR as the utility use-cases aren’t as immersive as games which depend on peripheral vision. FoV mostly matters to avoid the distration from clipping the content. Today the state of the art that can be manufactured in volume is an OLED microdisplay powering an injection molded waveguide. Single focal plane. We’re a year or two away from nicely functional better displays, and probably another year or so after that before those better displays can be manufactured in volume. I heard a story a couple of years ago about a very technical strategic investor from a large OEM who passed on investing in Magic Leap early on. Not because he thought the displays were snake oil, they weren’t, they worked & the demos were amazing, but because of the challenges he understood in scaling up the manufacturing volume and maintaining a good yield without optical defects. I haven’t heard that ML has solved these challenges, and The Information reported recently they may be using a different & easier to manufacture type of display. This is the reason the military still uses OLEDs & waveguides today (not for a lack of funding & research into better systems!). Also the unit cost to produce a wave guide is very low ($1–2) if it is injection molded. There’s a 7 figure up-front one-time optics design cost, and the hi-res micro-oleds have been expensive but they are dropping in price fast. Also as yet no one has applied smartphone scale production economics onto hmd manufacturing.

Wow, what drama, riveting...(Another one for the partner discussions with the great Fanman himself, overwrought)
I was surprised to see Sculley walk into the room. This was a private event full of Kopin's partners and customers. I have to wonder did he boldly crash the party to get a look at the technology, talk with some of Kopin's partners and customers or is he having partner discussions with Fan himself? Interesting.
