So please mount it on the arm of some glasses and bounce it off of the glass so that I can still focus through or focus on the image. Put a coating on the other side so no one can see what I am looking at to round it off. Put a camera on the other arm of the glasses to keep it balanced and an MPEG2/4 recorder in a holster under my arm. Have a neural net process the images from the camera and display augmented images on the screen, reminding me who I am talking to and translating foreign text in real time. GPS guidance and meeting schedules etc would be nice also.]]>Jan 10th 2008 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/10/kopin-lays-claim-to-worlds-smallest-color-svga-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/10/kopin-lays-claim-to-worlds-smallest-color-svga-display/ No it is not 1080p, being 1024x768 it is not even 720p, needing 1280x720 to class!!!

It's not 1024x768.

Anywho, may come in handy for some of the wrt54g mods/hacks.]]>Jan 10th 2008 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/10/kopin-lays-claim-to-worlds-smallest-color-svga-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/10/kopin-lays-claim-to-worlds-smallest-color-svga-display/http://www.displaytech.com/121106_pr_vga_wvga_svga.html
It's practically the same size, but it comes with 2 distinct advantages:
First, the controller chip is built-in. The kopin requires an external controller in a 276-pin package. Depending on configuration, it needs an external DRAM chip, too. More info: http://www.kopin.com/svga/
Second, the displaytech part doesn't use a color mask, so it won't show the "screen door" effect that the kopin will -- the result is a much better looking picture. More info: http://www.displaytech.com/technology.html

I've seen the displaytech display playing HD movies & it's breathtaking.]]>Jan 10th 2008 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/10/kopin-lays-claim-to-worlds-smallest-color-svga-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/10/kopin-lays-claim-to-worlds-smallest-color-svga-display/]]>Jan 11th 2008 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/10/kopin-lays-claim-to-worlds-smallest-color-svga-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/10/kopin-lays-claim-to-worlds-smallest-color-svga-display/
It also had LED lighting, so the colors were super saturated -- much better than NTSC, sRGB, or film. There are no color filters, so the greens are especially saturated. See the gamut section here -- it's similar to the laser system: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/other/print/lcd-parameters.html )]]>Jan 13th 2008 3:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/10/kopin-lays-claim-to-worlds-smallest-color-svga-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/10/kopin-lays-claim-to-worlds-smallest-color-svga-display/http://www.displaytech.com/121106_pr_vga_wvga_svga.html
