Kopin to Demo Advanced Displays and Subsystems at the SID International Symposium; New Products Intended to Accelerate Adoption of Microdisplays for Mobile Video Applications.

BOSTON -- Kopin(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: KOPN) will demonstrate a full range of CyberDisplay(R) microdisplays and subsystems today through Friday at the SID (Society for Information Displays) International Symposium in Boston. Kopin's exhibit includes display products available today as well as high-performance products under development.

The highlights of Kopin's exhibit include the following:

--The CyberDisplay SVGA display offers stunning color with 800 x 600 resolution in a 0.59-inch-diagonal package. The displays are manufactured with Kopin's proprietary color-filter technology and patent-pending low-voltage interface, resulting in power consumption of less than 100 mW. The CyberDisplay SVGA is ideal for high-resolution, full-color applications such as mobile video eyewear, 3-D stereoscopic video, mobile computing and emerging military products. Visitors to Kopin's booth (#203 - 205) will be able to try out a binocular viewer displaying 3D SVGA images.

--The CyberDisplay VGA display, which provides full-color 640 x 480 resolution in a compact, 0.44-inch-diagonal package. It is designed for high-performance portable applications such as digital cameras, thermal viewers, medical systems, and eyewear for watching movies, music videos and TV on the go using cell phones and multimedia players. Kopin will present a binocular eyewear reference design showing DVD video.

--The CyberDisplay SXGA display features full-color, HDTV-plus resolution (1280 x 1024) in a 0.97-inch-diagonal package. This preproduction display, scheduled for release later in 2005, provides super-high-resolution imagery and is targeted towards emerging high-end applications such as virtual reality, personal theater, and 3D HD gaming as well as military systems. The CyberDisplay SXGA's low-voltage architecture extends battery life of many portable applications.

-- The Kopin Binocular Display Module (BDM-230K) is the world's first plug-and-play video subsystem in an eyewear format. It requires only 3.3 V power and video input, either in NTSC or PAL format. Integrated into a lightweight (26 grams), self-contained unit (97.5 mm x 23.75 mm x 22.0 mm), the BDM-230K includes two CyberDisplay 230K displays, backlights, drive electronics, and a pair of 24-degree field-of-view optics with large eye relief (20 mm) and pupil size (10 mm). The displays are precisely aligned to the optics and to each other for viewing comfort. Delivering crisp, full-color QVGA-quality (320 x 240 resolution) video, the BDM 230K creates the effect of a virtual 35-inch display viewed from a seven-foot distance. Its low power consumption (less than 450 mW) allows long viewing time without recharging the battery. It also includes audio pass-through connectors to simplify final assembly. The BDM-230K will enable video eyewear manufacturers to reduce lead time and initial investment for new products. Kopin will present several binocular eyewear reference designs showing DVD video.

--The CyberEVF 230K, the world's first complete electronic viewfinder (EVF) for digital cameras, incorporates all the EVF components an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) requires: a full-color microdisplay with QVGA (320 x 240) resolution, ultra-thin backlight, optics, and housing with an easy-to-use focusing mechanism. This complete EVF solution will enable digital camera OEMs to shorten the design time for new products and substantially reduce the assembly cost. The CyberEVF 230K's tiny size - 17 mm x 23.5 mm x 25 mm, two-thirds the depth and less than half the volume of the competing EVF modules - enables OEMs to shrink their cameras to a pocket-size form factor, a key attraction for consumers. With 15x image magnification and 22-degree field of view, the viewfinder generates large, vivid color images with virtually no distortion or color aberrations.

"The products we demonstrate at SID will offer a glimpse into the opportunities for microdisplays in mobile video and other portable consumer electronics applications," said Dr. John C.C. Fan, Kopin's president and chief executive officer. "As manufacturers look to satisfy consumer demand for smaller, more power-efficient products, the small size, high resolution and low power consumption of Kopin's CyberDisplays are ideally suited for their needs. In addition to producing the world's only transmissive liquid crystal microdisplay based on single-crystal silicon transistors, we provide complete subsystem modules to customers who prefer a turnkey solution for shorter time to market and lower cost. The combination of high-performance video in a compact package and lower end-product price should accelerate the adoption of microdisplays for these applications."
