COPYTELE ENTERS INTO AGREEMENT FOR COLOR DISPLAYS

MELVILLE, NY – June 08, 2004: CopyTele, Inc. (OTCBB:COPY) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with an Asian company to jointly produce prototypes of two products having a proprietary thin film technology (TFT) color matrix pixel structure based on CopyTele’s high brightness video flat panel display technology.

Under the agreement, the Asian company will supply prototypes of the two products to CopyTele. The products are modified TFT color matrix structures having a 7-inch (diagonal) with 1440 x 234 pixels and a 5-inch (diagonal) with 960 x 234 pixels. CopyTele will complete the color displays by adding color phosphors in each pixel in the product matrices and by using its electron emission technology to activate the red, blue, and green phosphors. Both products will be designed to operate using low voltages. CopyTele anticipates that the color displays will be able to accommodate both wide-screen and standard TV formats for digital TV and DVD operation.

The Asian company, which currently produces large quantities of TFT liquid crystal displays (“LCD”s), will utilize its existing TFT LCD facilities to produce the prototypes of the products. Under the agreement, CopyTele will provide the funding for the prototypes of the products. CopyTele will have the exclusive rights to the products. The agreement also contemplates that CopyTele may enter into a further agreement with the Asian company for commercial production of the products or for the complete color displays.

CopyTele’s principal operation includes the development, production and marketing of thin, high brightness, flat panel video displays and the development, production and marketing of multi-functional encryption products, hardware and software based, that provide information security for domestic and international users over virtually every communication media. These products are being marketed through a world-wide network of dealers and distributors. For additional information, visit CopyTele’s website at www.copytele.com.
