Exhibit 99.1


            Kopin Corporation Receives Notice from NASDAQ
                 Due to Delay in Filing of Form 10-Q


    TAUNTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 2006--Kopin Corporation
(NASDAQ: KOPN) today announced that on November 15, 2006 it received a
NASDAQ Staff Determination letter indicating that the Company is not
in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because it did
not timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 2006. The notice also indicated that Kopin's
common stock is subject to delisting from The NASDAQ Global Market
unless Kopin requests a hearing before the NASDAQ Qualifications
Panel. Accordingly, on November 21, 2006 Kopin requested a hearing
before the panel to review the determination and to request continued
listing of its common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market. Pending the
occurrence and resolution of this hearing, Kopin's common stock will
remain listed on The NASDAQ Global Market. However, there can be no
assurance that the panel will grant Kopin's request for continued
listing of its common stock.

    On November 1, 2006, Kopin announced that its Board of Directors
had appointed a special committee to review its past stock option
practices; that the Company would not file its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 until after the
completion of the special committee's review; and that the Form 10-Q
was not expected to be filed by the November 10, 2006 filing deadline.
