10 January 2001

Donnelly VideoMirror(TM) Camera Vision System Selected As One of the Digital Lifestyle Best of CES 2001 At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas
    LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9 - TechTV, the on-air/on line network and
official judging body of 2001, has selected Donnelly's VideoMirror(TM) Camera
Vision System as one of the thirty Best of CES, which recognizes the best new
products on display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.   Donnelly
Corporation was selected among other notable electronic and
technology leaders such as Nokia, accessDTV and TDK Electronics Corporation.
    The VideoMirror Camera Vision system utilizes an interior and exterior
camera and a flip down, hideaway video screen that attaches to the rearview
mirror.  The in-vehicle camera system, BabyVue(TM), allows drivers to see
rear-facing infants in the back seat.  The exterior camera system,
ReversAid(TM), provides drivers with an enhanced view of behind the
automobile.  Both systems are part of the child automotive safety line of
products that are only available on line at http://www.donnelly.com .
    "Our market research shows that the timing is right for cameras in cars,"
explains Frank O'Brien, Vice President of Corporate Marketing and Consumer
Products.  "Being selected as one of the best thirty technology systems among
so many outstanding high tech products at CES validates that research.  This
award underscores Donnelly's commitment to advanced thinking with a human
touch.  We are honored to be part of such an esteemed group of nominees."
    Nominees, TechTV and a host of media gathered at a gala event at the Las
Vegas Convention Center to recognize the top thirty products that have not yet
begun, or are just starting to ship to consumers.  Products are nominated for
their innovative appeal, their usefulness and their affordability.  Being
nominated for the Best of CES awards automatically brands the product as one
of the hottest new products to be available in 2001, and provides consumers
with assurance of quality and capability.
    VideoMirror(TM) with BabyVue(TM) and ReversAid(TM)was nominated in the
automotive, marine and RV category.  Other products considered in this
category included XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Radio.
