Company to Highlight World's Smallest SVGA Liquid Crystal Display

TAUNTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 20, 2008--Kopin(R) Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN) will introduce its newest displays and a sampling of its customers' eyewear powered by Digital iVision technology at the SID (Society for Information Display) 2008 Exhibition. The event takes place May 20 - 22 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Kopin will feature Company's 0.44"-diagonal CyberDisplay(R) SVGA LVS display - the world's smallest 800 x 600-resolution liquid crystal display (LCD). Kopin's Digital iVision technology provides large cinema-like pictures in a compact package by enlarging high-resolution images displayed in a tiny microdisplay with optical elements.

"Our recent technical breakthrough - shrinking the pixel size to less than 1/1000 of today's typical LCD TV - has enabled Kopin to produce the smallest SVGA display in the LCD industry," said Dr. John C. C. Fan, Kopin's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Conventional LCD TVs and laptop screens can now be reduced to the size of a fingernail, opening myriad potential applications to display high-resolution images in mobile portable devices."

    Products being displayed at Kopin's booth (#807) include:

    --  Kopin's CyberDisplay SVGA LVS: Dual CyberDisplay SVGA LVS
        microdisplays together with lenses produce stunning
        high-resolution color images. With a 32-degree field of view,
        the displays project the equivalent of a 48" TV screen viewed
        at a distance of seven feet. The displays use advanced circuit
        architecture and 8" Si CMOS processing for low power
        consumption. The improved liquid cell assembly process and
        innovative LED backlight deliver superb color images. The
        displays are driven by Kopin's A910 driver ASIC.

    --  Myvu Corporation's Crystal and Shades: Built with
        SolidOptex(R), the Myvu patented optical system, Crystal and
        Shades offer the world's thinnest, lightest and most durable
        video eyewear. A winner of the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show
        Innovations Awards, Crystal incorporates two of Kopin's
        CyberDisplay VGA microdisplays and provides an approximately
        22-degree field-of-view, providing the truest DVD-quality
        experience possible. Myvu Shades, incorporating two of Kopin's
        CyberDisplay 230K LV microdisplays, features an enhanced
        glance-down design that allows viewers to maintain the most
        situational awareness possible without sacrificing image or
        screen quality. This unique design provides a broad and
        unobstructed field-of-view that enables new applications and
        uses. Crystal and Shades are compatible with portable media
        players.

        functional to the viewer. They use two Kopin CyberDisplay VGA
        (640 x 480) microdisplays to create an experience that is
        equivalent to a 62-inch 3D big-screen image viewed from a
        distance of nine feet.

        player, 3G phone, game console, Xbox360, PS3, or Nintendo Wii.
        Lightweight, durable and highly portable, the Argo PC/3-D
        provides a 3D-movie or gaming experience equivalent to a 48"

        frames-per-second (fps) sequential shooting capability. The
        SP-570 UZ's Dual Image Stabilization technology and Face
        Detection technology help users capture sharp, brilliant
        portrait photos.

    --  Wild Planet's Spy Video ATV-360(TM): Incorporating Kopin's
        CyberDisplay 300S monochrome QVGA display, the Spy Video
        ATV-360 is the first remote-controlled Spy Gear video to offer
        audio transmission, full-circle spin control, and tank tracks.
        This upgraded ATV lets secret agents inspect enemy territory
        from the safety of their own spy headquarters. They can scope
        out a room and hear if anyone is coming from up to 75 feet
        away. The new track-based movement system traverses
        treacherous landscapes such as laundry-strewn bedroom floors
        and foyers filled with books and backpacks. The vehicle climbs
        over obstacles and wirelessly transmits real-time video and
        audio back to the driver.
