New Wafer-Engineered Technology Highlights Company's Appearance at

CEATEC 2002

Kopin Corporation (Nasdaq: KOPN) will showcase its new CyberLite(TM) light-emitting diode (LED) and CyberDisplay(TM) 180K microdisplay at CEATEC (Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies) Japan 2002, Asia's largest consumer electronics show, which begins today at the Nippon Convention Center, Chiba Prefecture, Japan and runs through October 5th. The company (booth #8D31) also will feature current and emerging applications enabled by its CyberDisplay family of active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs).

CyberLite is based on Kopin's novel process "NanoPockets(TM)," which harnesses the power of nanotechnology to create blue LED chips as bright as those commercially available, and yet can be driven by much lower voltage. Kopin's new CyberLite blue LED chips require less than 2.9 volts of electricity (for 20 milliampres current), significantly lower than 3.3 volts for commercially available LEDs - and yet have 100 millicandela brightness. The blue CyberLite can be combined with a yellow phosphor to create a white LED. In addition to high brightness and low voltage, CyberLites have achieved ESD resistance of over 4000 volts. High ESD resistance is critical for industrial applications such as in automobiles. These blue and white CyberLites are ideal for compact portable light-using devices, such as wireless phones, games, camcorders, cameras, laptops and PDAs, which operate on battery power.

Also, in the exhibition, Kopin will showcase its CyberDisplay 180K, the world's smallest AMLCD featuring color filter technology. Designed primarily for portable consumer electronics, the 180,000-pixel display delivers industry-leading power efficiency in a 0.24-inch (diagonal) package. In addition to the major technological breakthrough of successfully incorporating color filters into the CyberDisplay, the display can be used with the industry's predominant chipsets, which drive the prevailing TFT-LCD displays.

"We are excited to exhibit both the CyberLite and CyberDisplay 180K for the first time publicly. Both products represent significant technical advances and we are actively sampling them with our customers and partners," said Dr. John C.C. Fan, Chairman and CEO of Kopin.

In addition to CyberLite and the CyberDisplay 180K, Kopin is exhibiting a unique biocular head-mounted display (HMD) with a concave mirror as a lens and a reflector incorporating a miniature projection system at CEATEC. Weighing less than 20g, the HMD is extremely light and easy to position for near-to-eye applications such as 3G phones, games and entertainment.
