SMART GLASS COMPANY RESEARCH FRONTIERS LICENSES
GKN AEROSPACE TRANSPARENCY SYSTEMS
TO OFFER SPD-SMART ARMORED GLASS FOR VEHICLES

GARDEN GROVE, CA and WOODBURY, NY, March 3, 2008 -
GKN Aerospace Transparency Systems Inc. has acquired a license
from Research Frontiers Inc. (Nasdaq: REFR), the developer and
licensor of SPD-Smart(tm) light-control film technology. The license
grants GKN Aerospace the right to manufacture and offer armored
SPD-SmartGlass? products utilizing Research Frontiers' patented
light-control technology for armored transportation vehicles. The fees
and minimum annual royalties payable to Research Frontiers and other
license terms were not disclosed.

When integrated with glass or plastic sunroofs, windshields, side and
rear windows, and other vehicle glazings, SPD-Smart film gives users
the ability to rapidly, precisely and uniformly control the amount of
light, glare and heat entering the vehicle. Under the license agreement,
GKN Aerospace can offer armored SPD-Smart products to numerous
transportation vehicle markets including passenger cars, trucks, trains,
RVs, armored personnel carriers, tanks, amphibious vehicles and
warships.

SPD-Smart armored vehicle glazings provide greater security due to
on-demand privacy capability, increase passengers' comfort, and
protect passengers and interiors from heat and harmful ultraviolet
radiation. SPD-Smart technology empowers users by offering instant,
real-time control over the environment to suit one's preference or
requirements.

SPD-Smart transparencies can be optically clear, block over 99.5% of
visible light, and are tunable manually or automatically to any level of
light transmission between clear and dark. All of this is done instantly
and uniformly regardless of the size of the window - advantages that
other smart window technologies, such as liquid crystals or
electrochromics, cannot offer.

Jim Dauw, President and CEO of GKN Aerospace Special Products
commented: "We are a company committed to the highest standards of
excellence in technological innovation, product quality and customer
service. Having followed the trends in smart glass for several years,
we believe it is now essential that we offer a smart glass feature to our
transparency products. We believe SPD-Smart film technology will
meet customer demand for instant control of light, and for the ability
to take light levels to an extremely dark state when desired, and will
integrate effectively with specialized materials and designs."

Joseph M. Harary, President of Research Frontiers, noted: "We are
pleased that GKN approached us for a license. GKN's various
business units make them the worldwide leader in many of the markets
relevant to SPD-Smart light-control technology. This initial agreement
with GKN is a great way for GKN to begin working with Research
Frontiers and our licensees to facilitate the introduction of SPD-Smart
products in various high-end markets. Their worldwide resources,
manufacturing capabilities, customer base, and complementary
technologies are formidable additions to the growing SPD industry for
smart products and we welcome them to our family of licensees
around the world."
