Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure


On March 31, 2009, Research Frontiers Inc. licensee InspecTech Aero
Service Exhibited at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany
SPD-Smart electronic window shades using Research Frontiers' patented
suspended particle device (SPD) light-control film technology. These
shades, which allow users to control the amount of light and glare
coming into the aircraft cabin, are reported to be currently
flying on various aircraft including Qantas' Airbus A380. In their
February 2009 issue, Travel and Leisure magazine described these
windows that give passengers and flight crews more control over
their cabin environment as follows:

"The most extravagant detail of all, however, isn't in the first-class
cabin itself, but in its bathrooms. They are large, with an expansive
sink and counter, and there's a window. When you walk in, the
window... appears to be translucent... When you lock the door it
transforms, as if by magic, into a transparent surface."

More details (the text of which is included herewith as an exhibit)
were provided on April 1, 2008 on Research  Frontiers
www.SmartGlass.com website.

InspecTech Aero Service Exhibits at Aircraft Interiors Expo
Industry's Fastest Switching Electronic Window Shades
Currently Flying On Qantas' Airbus A380 and Other Aircraft

HAMBURG, GERMANY, April 1, 2009 -- Aircraft manufacturers, industry
executives, the media and other visitors to the InspecTech Aero Service
booth (Hall 7, Booth H26) at the Aircraft Interiors Expo this week are
experiencing the highest performing switchable window shades on aircraft
today. InspecTech's I-Shades(tm) use patented SPD-Smart(tm) light-control
technology licensed by Research Frontiers (Nasdaq: REFR) and provide
instant management of light and glare entering aircraft cabins.

InspecTech's smart window shades are instantly tunable by simply pushing a
button to an infinite number of light transmission states -- ranging from
fully clear to completely shaded and private, and to any point in between.
Offered in weight-saving (and thus fuel-saving) polycarbonate, they improve
passenger comfort, lower cabin noise levels, decrease maintenance costs
due to their having no moving parts, and reduce cabin heat build-up when
aircraft are on the ground.

InspecTech's window shades are the industry's only dynamic switchable window
shades to be known to have passed stringent United States FAA safety and
durability tests and been issued a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
by the FAA.

InspecTech's I-Shade(tm) and E-Shade(tm) electronic window shades have been
installed and are now flying on private, business, commercial, and military
aircraft, including fixed-wing models such as the Airbus A380, King Air 350,
and Falcon 50,and helicopter models including the Sikorsky S-92 and Bell 430.

If you are not at the Expo this week to see these remarkable smart window
shades that give passengers and flight crews more control over their cabin
environment, you might enjoy reading the description given in the February
2009 issue of Travel+Leisure magazine by Paul Goldberger, who wrote an
article about the Airbus A380s now in service by Qantas Airlines. He
concluded the article with the following description of his experience
with InspecTech's SPD-Smart I-Shades:

"The most extravagant detail of all, however, isn't in the first-class
cabin itself, but in its bathrooms. They are large, with an expansive sink and
counter, and there's a window. When you walk in, the window... appears to be
translucent... When you lock the door it transforms, as if by magic, into a
transparent surface."

For the Aircraft Interiors Expo, InspecTech issued a news release providing
an update of activities including its aircraft certification programs, and
made available an I-Shade Smart Window System brochure on the show's website.
