Tekom Selects Kopin's CyberDisplay 180K for Newest Digital Still Camera; Kopin's Color Filter Displays Continue to Gain Traction in Digital Camera Market

TAUNTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2004--Kopin Corp. (NASDAQ: KOPN) today announced that Tekom Technologies, Inc., a leading digital still camera maker in Taiwan, has selected the full-color CyberDisplay(TM) 180K for its new digital still camera, the AX480. The AX480 is already selling in Europe and Asia.

The AX480 contains an electronic viewfinder system produced by Asia Optical Co. Inc. of Taiwan. The system includes Kopin's ultra small CyberDisplay 180K, a 0.24-inch diagonal color filter active matrix liquid crystal display with an active resolution of 800 x 225, or 180,000 sub-pixels, and an Asia Optical lens. The system allows Tekom to offer advanced features in the AX480 while keeping it compact, lightweight and power efficient for convenience and portability. The AX480 is a 4.23-megapixel camera that features audio video capabilities, an 8X optical zoom, a 4X digital zoom and SD/MMC memory card compatibility. The AX480's CyberDisplay-equipped viewfinder also includes a focusable diopter lens.

"Kopin's line of displays offer the digital still camera manufacturer a wider range of options," said Robert Tsai, president and CEO of Tekom. "Our customers will be delighted with the performance of the CyberDisplay 180K. We look forward to using CyberDisplay products in other Tekom digital still cameras and in those of our OEM customers."

The Kopin's CyberDisplay family of microdisplays are the world's smallest highest-resolution AMLCDs. Ranging in size from 0.97-inch diagonal to 0.16-inch diagonal, CyberDisplay AMLCDs provide a virtual image size as large and clear as much bigger displays, but they consume far less battery power than competing offerings.

"This design win represents continued success on two important fronts in our strategy to grow our display product line," said Kopin CEO Dr. John C. C. Fan. "First, Tekom is a leading Taiwanese manufacturer of digital still cameras, and becoming established with leading Taiwan OEMs is an important step in our strategy. Second, we continue to transition from our monochrome product to our recently introduced color filter displays, which include our CyberDisplay 113K, 180K and 922K. We hope to continue executing on our strategy and expanding our placement of the CyberDisplay product line across additional camera brands as the market grows."
