Business/Technology Editors

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2001

Kopin Corporation (Nasdaq: KOPN) will feature an array of new consumer and military product applications at the Society for Information Display's (SID) 32nd Annual Symposium to be held June 5th through June 7th at the San Jose Convention Center. The common element in each of these applications is Kopin's CyberDisplay(TM), the smallest high-resolution, high-performance transmissive active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) in the world.

"The microdisplay represents the enabling imaging technology for next-generation products," said Michael Presz, vice president and general manager of Kopin's Visual Products Group. "The product applications being unveiled by Kopin and its industry partners at the SID conference provide just a taste of the opportunities that we envision for our CyberDisplay."

Among the applications Kopin (Booth #434/533) will feature:

- CyberMan(TM) 2321D(T): A portable personal video entertainment system, the
CyberMan(TM) 2321D(T), is already being marketed in China by Oriscape
Electronics Co. Ltd. (www.oriscape.com.cn). The system is composed of a
head-mounted display system and a portable video compact disc (VCD) player,
video game controller or TV receiver. The binocular optical system uses two
color CyberDisplay 320C displays, and shows a brilliant 300-line (horizontal
resolution) image with a 21-degree viewing angle. It provides the user with the
virtual equivalent of a 36-inch screen viewed from eight feet away. The
lightweight CyberMan(TM) 2321D(T) system has an embedded battery that supports
full-color video viewing for up to 3.5 hours.

- Digital Navigation Assistant (DNA): Navitrak International Corp.
(www.navitrak.com) of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada created this handheld device
that incorporates high-resolution topographic maps and imagery, a
high-precision electronic compass and a Global Positioning System (GPS) in a
portable, rugged, battery-operated package. The DNA can display multiple types
of map data (including topographic maps, satellite imagery, street maps and
digital elevation data). These services are targeted to professional and
institutional users for applications as diverse as forestry firefighting,
military, law enforcement and search and rescue.

- Helmet Integrated Display and Sighting System (HIDSS): Developed for the
Comanche Helicopter by Kaiser Electronics (www.kaisere.com) of San Jose,
California, the HIDSS has been redesigned to replace the heavy, bulky cathode
ray tube with two CyberDisplay 1280 AMLCDs (1280x1024). The system boasts a 30
degrees x 52 degrees field of view in a compact, lightweight package, which
meets all US Army crash safety requirements and is adaptable to a variety of
rotorcraft platforms and missions.

- iCOM Personal Internet Browser: Developed by Interactive Imaging Systems
(www.iisvr.com) of Rochester, New York, the iCOM Personal Internet Browser
enables users to view the Internet with the clarity and quality of a 21-inch
color VGA (640x480) monitor, through a wireless device that fits into the palm
of the hand. The iCOM features web-browsing capabilities, complete with audio
play and recording, and provides seamless access to email, messaging, the
Internet, and intranet-based applications. The iCOM provides full-color VGA
video imagery along with MP3 music for over 2 hours on a single lithium
battery.

- Light Thermal Weapon Sight (LTWS): Developed for M-16 and M-4 rifles by
Raytheon Company (www.raytheon.com) in Lexington, Massachusetts, LTWS will give
the soldier the ability to detect and identify targets in day or night
conditions. The combination of Kopin's CyberDisplay 640M and Raytheon's focal
plane array provides a high-quality, video-like image of the thermal scene,
allowing the soldier to increase his situational awareness and conduct
surveillance or fire control under a variety of battlefield conditions
including dust, smoke and fog.

- VGA Clip-On: The MicroOptical Corporation (www.microopticalcorp.com) of
Westwood, Massachusetts, will debut its new VGA Clip-On using the
CyberDisplay(TM) 640C (640x480) full-color display. The Model CO-3 contains a
color "Clip-On" monitor with see-around display optics, articulating mounting
arm, plano eyeglasses, and a belt-worn VGA interface box connected to the
display by a thin cable. The display format is 24-bit true color in a 20-degree
diagonal field of view. The unit is designed to provide "see-around display
optics" and can be configured for either the left or right eye.

"CyberDisplay subsystems are rapidly becoming the industry standard in a wide variety of applications from camcorders to hand-held Internet browsers to military sighting systems," said Presz. "Since we started volume production in 1999, we have already shipped more than two million CyberDisplays to our customers, including leading camcorder manufacturers such as Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Inc. (Panasonic), Samsung Electronics and Victor Company of Japan, Ltd. (JVC)."
