PicoP® the engine powering our future
PicoP® is the name of Microvision’s proprietary display engine. PicoP is an ultra-miniature projector capable of producing large, high contrast, color rich, high resolution images. PicoP is small and low-power enough to be embedded directly into mobile devices, such as cell phones.
Potential display applications based on the PicoP display engine are numerous. We are currently working with partners on the following applications:
- Pico Projectors that can be embedded into mobile devices or stand alone accessory pico projectors that connect to mobile devices,
- Vehicle Displays including head-up and instrument cluster displays,
- Wearable Displays including helmet mounted and mobile device eyewear.
