Two major electronics companies recently introduced products with
MicroVision’s patented PicoP® display technology
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nov. 5, 2015–
MicroVision,
Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), a leader in innovative ultra-miniature
projection display and imaging technology, today announced its results
for the third quarter of 2015.
The third quarter results included product and royalty revenue of $2.4
million. The company improved product and royalty related gross margin
compared to last quarter from 17 percent to 24 percent. Revenue for the
third quarter of 2015 increased by nearly 150 percent compared to the
third quarter of 2014 and operating loss and net loss for the third
quarter of 2015 were up slightly compared to the same period of the
previous year.
In October, the company’s Fortune Global 100 customer that is
manufacturing display engines incorporating MicroVision’s PicoP display
technology, started selling a companion pico projector in the US, Latin
America and most of Asia. Additionally, Sharp Corporation launched an
innovative Mobile Robot Phone product named RoBoHoN that incorporates
MicroVision’s PicoP display technology in a display engine made by
Sharp. Sharp has stated that RoBoHoN will be available in Japan in the
first half of 2016. Both product announcements received extensive media
coverage.
MicroVision continued to support its Fortune Global 100 customer on
business development activities for its display module that incorporates
MicroVision’s PicoP display technology. MicroVision also continued to
independently pursue new opportunities for its patented display and
imaging solution in pico projection and other applications and continued
to advance its technology roadmap.
The following financial results are for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2015, compared to the same periods of 2014:

fair value adjustment of MicroVision’s warrant liability. -
