                         COPYTELE AND FUTABA ENTER INTO
                           JOINT COOPERATION AGREEMENT
                           FOR FIELD EMISSION DISPLAY




MELVILLE, NEW YORK - JUNE 13, 2001 - CopyTele, Inc. (NASDAQ:COPY) announced
today that it has entered into a Joint Cooperation Agreement with Futaba
Corporation for the purpose of jointly developing and commercializing a
full-color video display utilizing CopyTele's field emission display technology.
Futaba is a major high technology company located in Mobara, Japan.

The Agreement provides for the initial payment to CopyTele of $2.5 million for
the first phase of development of a prototype for a 320 X 240 pixel, 5-inch
diagonal display having numerous advanced features, including wide viewing
angle, low power consumption, high-resolution, and ultra-bright screen. The
ultimate goal is to use this technology to develop and produce a variety of
field emission displays that can be mass produced and marketed by Futaba for
both consumer and industrial applications.

The technology being utilized is based on the more than three year joint
development that CopyTele funded in its previously disclosed relationship with
Volga Svet Limited, a Russian display company. CopyTele plans to continue to
utilize Volga's assistance in the development work under the Agreement and will
fund Volga in accordance with the existing relationship.

For the first year of the Agreement, CopyTele will be primarily responsible for
developing prototypes of the display and providing the required fabrication, to
enable Futaba to utilize its know-how and production facilities for the mass
production of the display. The Agreement further provides for negotiations
between the parties during the first six months of the Agreement regarding
additional compensation to CopyTele for the use of CopyTele's technology
developed prior to the Agreement, which may include the payment of royalties
based on sales of products by Futaba. As part of the Agreement, both parties
would have the exclusive right to produce products, with Futaba having the

<PAGE>
exclusive right to sell the products worldwide, excluding Russia. Any
intellectual property developed pursuant to the Agreement will be jointly owned
by Futaba and CopyTele. The Agreement also provides for a term of three years
from June 13, 2001 with the terms of the project following the first year being
subject to future negotiations between the parties on a yearly basis.

Futaba has been a major supplier for more than thirty years of vacfluorescent
displays and modules used in automobiles, microwave ovens, audio-visual products
and point-of-sale terminals.

CopyTele has been engaged in the development of flat panel display technology
since its inception and more recently has concentrated its activities on the
development, production and marketing of multi-functional, high-grade,
hardware-based, voice, fax and data encryption solutions featuring a diversified
product line which is being marketed through a worldwide network of dealers and
distributors. For additional information, visit CopyTele's website at
