Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

KPMG LLP ("KPMG") was previously the principal accountants for Research
Frontiers Incorporated (the Company).  On April 14, 2005, the Company's Audit
Committee terminated KPMG as the Company's independent auditor and approved
the engagement of BDO Seidman LLP ("BDO Seidman"), effective April 14, 2005,
to serve as the Company's independent auditor for its fiscal year ending
December 31, 2005.  The dismissal of KPMG and the appointment of BDO Seidman
was approved by the Audit Committee, and then by the full Board of Directors
of the Company.

The audit reports issued by KPMG on the consolidated financial statements of
the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and on
management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004 and the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2004 did not contain any adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion, or any qualification or modification as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles.  During the Company's two most recent
fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and through the date of KPMG's
dismissal, there were no disagreements, with KPMG on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure,which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG,
would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its reports. In addition, during the
Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and
the subsequent interim period through April 14, 2005, there have been no
reportable events as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided KPMG with a copy of the foregoing statements and has
requested and received from KPMG a letter addressed to the Securities and
Exchange Commission stating whether or not KPMG agrees with the above
statements. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 hereto is a copy of such letter,
dated April 18, 2005.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2004
and 2003, and the subsequent interim period through April 14, 2005, the
Company did not consult with BDO Seidman with respect to the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction,
either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might
be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We were previously principal accountants for
Research Frontiers Incorporated and, under
the date of March 15, 2005, we reported on the
consolidated financial statements of
Research Frontiers, Inc. and subsidiary as of and
for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
and management's assessment of internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 and the
effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2004. On April 14, 2005,
our appointment as principal accountants was terminated.
We have read Research Frontiers Incorporated's
statements included under Item 4.01 of its Form 8-K dated April 14, 2005,
and we agree with such statements, except we are not in a
position to agree or disagree with Research Frontiers Incorporated's
statements that: the Audit Committee approved the engagement of
BDO Seidman LLP effective April 14, 2005, to serve as the Company's
independent auditor for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2005;
the dismissal of KPMG LLP and the appointment of BDO Seidman LLP was
approved by the Audit Committee and then by the full Board of Directors
of the Company; and that during the Company's two most recent
fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the subsequent
interim period through April 14, 2005, the Company did not consult with
BDO Seidman with respect to the application of accounting principles
to a specified transaction, either contemplated or proposed, or
the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

Very truly yours,

/s/KPMG LLP
   KPMG LLP
