CRAFTSMAN FABRICATED GLASS LICENSED TO

SPD-SMART LAMINATED GLASS AND PLASTIC PRODUCTS

HOUSTON, TX and WOODBURY, NY, October 18, 2007 -
Craftsman Fabricated Glass, Ltd. has acquired a license from
Research Frontiers Inc. (Nasdaq: REFR) to make SPD-Smart(tm)
laminated glass and plastic products using Research Frontiers'
patented SPD light-control film. When integrated with glass or
plastic panels, SPD-Smart film gives users the ability to rapidly,
precisely and uniformly control the amount of light passing through
glass or plastic.

Under the worldwide license agreement, Craftsman's SPD-Smart
glass and plastic panels can be supplied to Research Frontiers'
licensed end-product manufacturers for use in SPD-Smart windows,
skylights, sunroofs, partitions, light tubes and many other products
used every day in homes, buildings, cars, aircraft, boats, trains and
motorcoaches.

Craftsman recently completed the installation of a new lamination
line at its 230,000 square foot facility in Houston, Texas. This state-
of-the-art line features advanced robotics and automation to reduce
the handling of glass, thus ensuring superior quality. Additionally,
the line is equipped with a digital PVB/PU (polyvinyl
butyral/polyurethane) optimizer and upper level PVB/PU selector
and storage system. The large capacity autoclave also has full heat-
soak capabilities and is considered to be one of the most advanced
laminating lines in the world. Craftsman's SPD-Smart laminated
products will be produced at this facility.

"Craftsman Fabricated Glass is a tremendous addition to the SPD
infrastructure," noted Joseph M. Harary, President of Research
Frontiers. "They are a world-class company with significant
production capacity, a commitment to superior product quality, and a
management team highly regarded throughout the glass industry."

"We have built our reputation on offering customers the quality
products they demand," said Bob Lawrence, President of Craftsman.
"SPD light-control technology is among the most advanced glazing
technologies in the world today and it will be a very important part
of our new laminated glass product line."
