Stock market today: S&P 500 falls as government shutdown, trade jitters persist
Investing.com -- Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ:KOPN) stock surged 5.6% in premarket trading Tuesday after the company announced a $3 million order for its MicroLED displays from a tier one aerospace company.
The order marks Kopin’s first production contract for MicroLED technology in combat aircraft. The displays will be used to upgrade legacy Heads-Up Displays (HUDs) in fielded aircraft, with delivery scheduled for the second half of 2026.
Kopin’s flight-qualified MicroLED displays offer up to 1 million foot lambert brightness—100 times brighter than OLED displays—ensuring visibility in bright daylight conditions. The technology also features a dimming range exceeding 30,000:1 for nighttime missions and provides 4-megapixel resolution at 120 frames per second.
"This order reflects the growing demand for advanced display solutions in aerospace applications and validates the readiness of our MicroLED technology for field deployment," said Bill Maffucci, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Strategy at Kopin.
The company highlighted that its MicroLED technology delivers up to five times greater power efficiency compared to competing microdisplay technologies, while providing superior see-through performance for HUDs and augmented reality systems.
Kopin specializes in application-specific optical systems and high-performance microdisplays for defense, training, enterprise, industrial, consumer, and medical products.
