Business Wire
Kopin Corporation (Nasdaq: KOPN), a leading developer and
provider of high-resolution microdisplays and application-specific
optical sub-assemblies for defense, enterprise, consumer and
medical products, today announced that it has elected a new
Chairman, Mr. James Brewington, following its annual meeting of
stockholders on May 25, 2023.
Kopin has enlisted Egon Zehnder to partner with the firm on a
Board Succession strategy.
Dr. John C.C. Fan, who previously served as Chairman of the
Board, will remain on Kopin’s Board of Directors. Dr. Fan retired
as Kopin’s President and Chief Executive Officer in 2022.
Dr. Fan is the Founder of Kopin Corporation and has served as
our Chairman of the Board since our organization in April 1984. Dr.
Fan received a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Harvard University.
Dr. Fan has authored over 200 publications, edited three books and
has over 70 patents. Dr. Fan was also the Co-Founder and Chairman
of several integrated circuit and advanced materials companies. Dr.
Fan received the Society of Information Display’s “Special
Recognition Award” in 1999. Dr. Fan was the Ernst & Young “New
England Entrepreneur of the Year” in 2000, and a “National
Finalist.” He was chosen as one of the “Top 25 Asian American
Entrepreneurs” by Asia Week in 1999, and one of the “Top 100 Asian
American Entrepreneurs” between 1999-2004 by Asian.net. Dr. Fan was
chosen as one of the USA’s “Top 15 Nanotechnology Innovators” by
NASA’s Nanotech Briefs in 2005. In 2020, Dr. Fan was also elected
as a member of the USA National Academy of Engineering (NAE) for
his contributions “For Innovation and Entrepreneurship in
Electronic Materials and Devices for Displays.” Only a very select
group of engineers are admitted to NAE membership, which is one of
the highest professional honors accorded an engineer.
Mr. Brewington has served as one of our directors since 2006.
Mr. Brewington retired as President of Developing Markets at Lucent
Technologies in 2007. Prior to heading Lucent’s Developing Markets
group, Mr. Brewington served as President of that company’s
Mobility Solutions Group, where he was responsible for all wireless
infrastructure for the mobility segment, including global wireless
development and product architecture, project management and

over the ensuing years he has held various executive management
positions in the telecommunications industry, including overseeing
