Kopin Corporation announced it has developed a new all-plastic Pancake® optics for its new-generation 1.3” 2.6K x 2.6K Lightning® organic light emitting diode (OLED) microdisplay with outstanding performance for virtual reality (VR) applications. The new Pancake optics (named P80) enables the design of compact, lightweight, stylish VR glasses that are comfortable to wear for extended hours with no need for adjustment, even for people who wear eyeglasses. The P80 Pancake optics provides a very sharp, 77° field-of-view (FOV) image with very long (23 mm) eye relief and large (12-mm-diameter) eye box.

Kopin previously announced the world's first all-plastic Pancake optics with 95° FOV but with a smaller eye relief and eye box.
