MW, your statement sounds more than credible re DPD and larger displays gleaned from the "horses mouth" and circumstantially supported by eMagin's participation at Display Week. In the company of giants, 3M, Synaptics, Corning and the "?" company. Pretty clear they were there not exclusively featuring microdisplays...

"If we did not comply" is just odd phraseology. They should be able to show proof that they did comply. If a government entity questions them about it there are only two possible answers.
"If we did not comply" sounds like they may plead "Stupidity" or "Darn it we forgot". If they could convince that equates to "unintended non-compliance". That possibility seems remote as at the time of the report Kopin had been dealing with these compliance issues for decades. Any company with that long history would have to have a Compliance Officer familiar with the regulatory obligations. It's crazy verbiage. Violations can be over a Million per and prison time if it's found to be a criminal act. Maybe it would be prudent not to flog Kopin's version of the F-35 as the "greatest AR headset in the world" if they want to slip through unnoticed.
From Kopin's 10K "if we did not comply"
We may incur significant liabilities if we fail to comply with stringent environmental laws and regulations and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations
("ITAR") or if we did not comply with these regulations in the past. We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local governmental regulations related to the
use, storage, discharge and disposal of toxic or otherwise hazardous chemicals used in our manufacturing process. We are also subject to federal ITAR laws which
regulate the export of technical data and export of products to other nations which may use these products for military purposes. The failure to comply with present
or future regulations could result in fines being imposed on us, suspension of production, or a cessation of operations. Any failure on our part to control the use of,
or adequately restrict the discharge of, hazardous substances, or otherwise comply with environmental regulations, could subject us to significant future liabilities.
Any failure on our part to obtain any required licenses for the export of technical data and/or export of our products or to otherwise comply with ITAR, could
subject us to significant future liabilities. In addition, we cannot be certain that we have not in the past violated applicable laws or regulations, which violations
could result in required remediation or other liabilities. We also cannot be certain that past use or disposal of environmentally sensitive materials in conformity
with then existing environmental laws and regulations will protect us from required remediation or other liabilities under current or future environmental laws or
regulations.
We may be unable to modify our products to meet regulatory or customer requirements.
Kopin did obtain an EAR99 for their displays for certain "consumer" uses however no ITAR Exemption for "dual use" displays...
Cfius would be able to review more transactions
The Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act would expand the universe of financial and business transactions that Cfius can review, giving it a say in a wider array of deals beyond just mergers and acquisitions.
That means proposed joint ventures, minority stakes and real estate transactions near military bases or other sensitive national security facilities all could be reviewed — and potentially squashed — by Cfius.
They're going to ride this horse until the poor thing drops dead...

Look like L-3s acquisition of Peak Nano have helped lead to L-3's resurgence and larger presence in lower cost and higher performance I/R night vision and related. Development quickened e.g. ENVGIII to ENVG-B
“We’re thrilled to have L3 as both an equity and development partner,” said Jim Welsh, chief executive officer of Peak Nano. “L3 operates as an industry leader in many markets where our lens technology makes a tremendous impact on system-level performance. This investment also allows us to dramatically accelerate our efforts in much larger adjacent markets, such as virtual reality and augmented reality, where we expect to shape the next generation of optical platform solutions.”

Stronger CFIUS good for stopping bad deals. But some technologies critical to national security should NEVER be sold to or shared with #China. That’s why these promised restrictions are so important & why backing off on them would be so disappointing https://t.co/p67FreIF1L

You can't mash all the Tweets now, here's a highlight.
Everyone is talking about AR, so that could be, well, anyone. If we're speculating on Hololens, I see a pretty impressive strategy emerging, based on 1) enterprise is the big place to monetize and 2) this whole PTC + Rockwell + M$ play. A complementary device could be big.

Kopin Unveils High-Brightness Breakthrough for Lightning OLED Microdisplays and Debuts New 720p Resolution 0.5” OLED Display at CES 2018
"when they figure it out, they kick you out, they don't need you anymore." Like Rubio said it's frequently too late. That appears to be the case here.
"We are pleased with the rapid progress in our OLED displays,” said Dr. John C.C. Fan, Kopin’s president and CEO. "Using our proprietary backplane technology and the efforts of our OLED foundry partner Olightek, we have made significant brightness improvements in a very short period of time.

But Not Kopin! But Microsoft Mentions eMagin and Microoled and Others By Name! But Not Kopin! Honest as the Day is Long in Winter at...
[0028] The display engine 204 can include, e.g., an image former 206, a collimating lens 208 and an illuminator 210, but is not limited thereto. The image former 206 can be implemented using a transmissive projection technology where a light source is modulated by an optically active material, and backlit with white light. These technologies are usually implemented using liquid crystal display (LCD) type displays with powerful backlights and high optical energy densities. The illuminator 210 can provide the aforementioned backlighting. The image former 206 can also be implemented using a reflective technology for which external light is reflected and modulated by an optically active material. Digital light processing (DLP), liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) and Mirasol® display technology from Qualcomm, Inc. are all examples of reflective technologies. Alternatively, the image former 206 can be implemented using an emissive technology where light is generated by a display, see for example, a PicoP™ display engine from Microvision, Inc. Another example of emissive display technology is a micro organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. Companies such as eMagin and Microoled provide examples of micro OLED displays. The image former 206, alone or in combination with the illuminator 210, can also be referred to as a micro display. The collimating lens 208 is arranged to receive a diverging display image from the image former 206, to collimate the display image, and to direct the collimated image toward the input-coupler 112 of the waveguide 100. In accordance with an embodiment, an entry pupil associated with the waveguide may be approximately the same size as an exit pupil associated with the image former 206, e.g., 5 mm or less in some embodiments, but is not limited thereto.
Yes Microsoft Mention! LCD!

Well, really surprised that after the Intel presentation this didn't move much more, really strange.
At about 3:30pm PT yesterday the Intel guy opened the OLED in AR/VR session with the comment along the lines that they see OLED microdisplays as the future display engine tech for AR/VR, followed by "here is an example from our technology partner Emagin", either I misheard or Intel is going to be the production partner for Emagin.
