     TAUNTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2005--In conjunction with its

entertainment, military, security and photography experiences being made
possible by high-resolution mobile video, Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN) is
announcing preliminary financial results for the first quarter ended March 31,

for certain training and research and development activities, the strength of
higher gross-margin CyberDisplay product sales for military applications and the
sale of previously written-off inventory, the Company expects to report earnings
per diluted share of approximately $0.01 to $0.03 on revenue of approximately
$18.6 million to $19.6 million in the first quarter of 2005. Kopin is scheduled
