Exhibit 99.1


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


    TAUNTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 18, 2007--Kopin Corporation
(NASDAQ: KOPN) today announced that on May 17, 2007 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 March 31, 2007. This was a procedural letter received by Kopin,
which also has not timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006.

    As noted in Kopin's press release dated May 15, 2007, the Company
has received a stay of its delisting pending a hearing before the
NASDAQ Listing and Hearing Review Council. The date of the hearing
with the Listing Council has not yet been determined, and pending the
outcome of the hearing Kopin's common stock will remain listed on The
NASDAQ Global Market. However, there can be no assurance that the
Listing Council will grant Kopin's request for continued listing of
its common stock.

    The Listing Council will review matters associated with Kopin's
non-compliance with NASDAQ listing requirements resulting from a
Special Investigative Committee's review of the Company's historical
stock option granting practices. As previously announced in a press
release and Form 8-K filed on May 9, 2007, the Special Investigative
Committee issued preliminary findings and recommendations on May 3,
2007. As a result of the internal review and required financial
statement restatements, the Company's financial statements for the
periods 1995 through 2006 and the related interim periods should not
be relied upon.
