Kopin to Exhibit Advanced Displays and Subsystems at the SPIE Defense & Security Symposium - New Displays Advance Kopin's Dominant Position in Microdisplays.

TAUNTON, Mass. -- Kopin(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: KOPN) announced today that it will exhibit a full range of CyberDisplays(R) and subsystems at the SPIE (International Society for Optical Engineering) Defense & Security Symposium being held today through Friday in Kissimmee, Florida. The exhibit includes display products available today as well as emerging high-performance displays currently under development.

The highlights of the exhibit include the following:

--The CyberDisplay SVGA display offers stunning color with an 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 less than 100 mW. The CyberDisplay SVGA is perfectly suited to high-resolution, full-color applications such as helmet-mounted displays (HMDs), mobile video eyewear products, 3-D stereoscopic video, and mobile computing applications. Low-rate initial production versions of the SVGA displays are currently available, with volume production scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2005.

--The CyberDisplay VGA provides a full-color 640 x 480 resolution in a compact 0.44-inch-diagonal package. It is designed for high-performance portable applications such as entertainment systems, digital still cameras, thermal viewers, medical systems and hand-held radiometers. When combined with a backlight and driver ASIC, the CyberDisplay VGA provides monocular or binocular full-color imagery in a complete display module measuring less than 1" x 2". Volume production of the CyberDisplay VGA began in the first quarter of 2004.

--The CyberDisplay SXGA (1280 x 1024) full-color display has a resolution exceeding that of high-definition television (HDTV) in a 0.97-inch-diagonal package. This preproduction display, scheduled for release later in 2005, provides vivid, high-resolution, full-color imagery and is targeted towards emerging multi-spectral, image fusion products. The CyberDisplay SXGA's low-voltage architecture extends battery life of many portable applications.

--Kopin's patent-pending Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment (MVA) displays offer a normally black image with an extremely high contrast ratio (greater than 1000) and a very wide, symmetric viewing angle. Production versions of the SXGA (1280 x 1024) and VGA (640 x 480) monochrome displays will be exhibited. These ultra-high-contrast displays are ideally suited for image intensified and thermal night vision applications.

--The Auxiliary Targeting Viewer (ATV) is an integrated HMD specifically developed for the thermal imaging market. The ATV is designed as a lightweight, high-resolution, monocular sight for covert reconnaissance, target acquisition and weapons firing. The unit, powered from a helmet-mounted battery pack, accepts an RS-170 composite video signal supplied by the Light, Medium or Heavy Thermal Weapons Sight (TWS). The ATV gives the soldier an "over the wall" view of battlefield conditions and the ability to acquire targets and fire the weapon from a covert, protected position. The unit incorporates Kopin's ruggedized monochrome VGA CyberDisplay 640M, common to all US Army production TWS programs. The prototype ATVs being demonstrated are compact and robust enough to be carried in a field jacket pocket. The unit is designed to operate for up to 12 hours on two CR123A lithium batteries.

--The Night Vision Goggle Head-Up Display (NVG-HUD) module is a miniature, high-performance VGA (640 x 480) imaging system with performance characteristics unmatched in the industry today. Packaged in a miniature 1.4- x 1.4- x 0.52-inch package, the NVG-HUD module accepts digital avionics data transmitted over a fire-wire interface, and displays critical flight symbology, which is overlaid on the NVG scene. Configured to combine the imagery using either the objective lens or the eyepiece of the NVG, this module product dissipates less than 260 mW when operating in a full 60 Hz mode.

"Kopin is committed to providing ruggedized display solutions for industrial and military applications, where performance, reliability, ruggedness and low power are critical," said Tony Bacarella, business development manager of Kopin's Visual Products Group. "Our CyberDisplay products are clearly the microdisplay of choice for the full range of products from battery-operated thermal sights to ultra-high-brightness avionics HMDs."

"Our goal is to make Kopin's CyberDisplay products the standard across the entire range of near-to-eye military applications," said Dr. John C.C. Fan, Kopin's president and chief executive officer. "Since our initial product launch in 1999, we have delivered more than 15 million CyberDisplays into a wide range of consumer, industrial and military products. Our continued growth in the defense and security markets is a testament to the robust performance offered by our full line of products. The new displays and display technologies we are developing in partnership with government continue to push the performance envelope, and will open up a host of new military and commercial applications."
