Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On May 15, 2012, Research Frontiers Inc. (Nasdaq: REFR) announced that this week at the 2012 European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, SPD-Smart instantly dimmable aircraft windows are on display by aircraft manufacturer Honda Aircraft Company, and are also being featured by a strategic partner of Research Frontiers licensee InspecTech Aero Service.

HondaJet:

At the booth of aircraft manufacturer Honda Aircraft Company, SPD-Smart cabin windows are being experienced inside an updated HondaJet fuselage model being exhibited by HondaJet at EBACE, as well as an interactive special display. The SPD-Smart windows offer instant and precise light and glare control at all levels, which provides a solar protection solution that enhances flying comfort and supports fuel efficiency. These electronically dimmable window shades are impact-resistant, have no moving parts, are completely silent, and can be controlled by passengers or cabin-wide by the crew. The HondaJet, an advanced business jet aircraft, is scheduled for delivery to customers in 2013.

Lou Martin and Associates

Research Frontiers licensee InspecTech’s strategic partner Lou Martin and Associates (LMA) is showcasing SPD-Smart E3 Shades at their booth. This aircraft cabin window shading system integrates LMA’s electromechanical pleated shade with InspecTech’s SPD-Smart iShade dimmable window. Aircraft owners and operators can keep the soft fabrics and warm colors of LMA’s shades and benefit from the extraordinary SPD-Smart film technology used in InspecTech’s iShades. The SPD-Smart E3 Shades expands the options available to interior designers and owners of aircraft, and demonstrates the creative potential and adaptability of SPD technology.

EBACE, jointly hosted each year by the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA), the leading association for business aviation in Europe, and the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), the leading voice for the business aviation industry in the United States, is the premier annual meeting place for the European business aviation community. The 2012 convention is being held May 14-16.
