Best-Selling Author of 'Innovator's Dilemma' to Keynote Kopin Vision 2005 Event; Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen Will Detail Birth and Future of Mobile Video Era.

TAUNTON, Mass. -- Clayton M. Christensen, the man who coined the term "disruptive technology" and gave it layers of significance in his award-winning best seller "The Innovator's Dilemma," will be the keynote speaker at Vision 2005. The April 25, 2005 event, sponsored by Kopin(R) Corp. (Nasdaq: KOPN) on its 20th anniversary, will highlight the dawn of a significant new technology category, high-resolution mobile video. Christensen will discuss the factors driving the nascent mobile video market at Vision 2005.

Christensen, a renowned Harvard Business School professor, is one of the business world's most sought-after speakers, with appearances at the Open Source Business Conference, Front End of Innovation, G-CON: The Gartner Government Conference and Future Forward. Christensen is considered the leading authority on innovation management and has published two best-selling business books - "The Innovator's Dilemma" (1997) and "The Innovator's Solution" (2003). A third book, "Seeing What's Next" (2004), was published last fall.

"If you want a state-of-the-art cinema experience today, you either go to the movies, or stay home and play a DVD," Christensen said. "You would never have expected the same quality when you're on the go. Companies like Kopin, however, are helping turn these consumer expectations around, providing an HDTV experience or better from a device the size of a postage stamp. The products available today are just the first whispers of the emerging mobile video revolution."

"In our view, Kopin exemplifies Clayton Christensen's theory of how new companies can enter established markets using disruptive technologies," said Dr. John C.C. Fan, Kopin's president and chief executive officer. "Kopin entered the microdisplay market in 1999 with a disruptive technology to replace cathode ray tube displays that Japanese companies manufactured for camcorders. In a few short years, Kopin acquired 40 percent of the camcorder market and has since ascended the food chain with a wide range of displays providing increasingly higher resolution. In microdisplays, Kopin has followed a path parallel to the one it embarked on in 1996, when it entered the market with a revolutionary vertical HBT transistor, which has found its way into more than one billion cell phones. The next step is the mobile video revolution, enabled by high-speed wireless networks, expanding content storage, and more major gains in microdisplay technology."

Christensen's keynote will be followed by industry analyst predictions, testimonials from Kopin's customers, hands-on product demos, and a tour of Kopin's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Invited dignitaries, customers, partners, media and analysts at Vision 2005 will experience, with their own eyes, futuristic, theater-quality video in an array of mobile devices that promise to reshape the 21st-century sensory experience, including personal video eyewear, weapon sights, high-end cameras, helmets, pocket-sized phone accessories and more. They will sample solutions from established technology giants such as JVC, Konica Minolta, Mitsubishi, Nokia, Philips, Samsung, and Sharp, as well as emerging video eyewear suppliers such as Accupix, Icuiti, MicroOptical, and Oriscape.

Kopin, the leading provider of microdisplays for mobile consumer electronics, will detail rapidly expanding opportunities in mobile video for revolutionary communication, gaming, entertainment, military, security and photography experiences. The Kopin CyberDisplay(R) is the only light-transmitting liquid crystal display (LCD) utilizing single-crystal silicon transistors, and provides the world's highest-density LCDs with low power consumption. The microdisplays range from a tiny 0.16-inch-diagonal display to one-inch-diagonal display with resolution sharper than HDTV. Near-to-eye personal displays are projected to be a $1 billion market by 2008, according to a 2004 report by McLaughlin Consulting Group and Insight Media.
