Microvision Signs Development Contract with Major Consumer Electronics Distributor and Manufacturer To Create Pico Projectors For Mobile Applications
1/3/2008 6:01:00 AM
<![CDATA[REDMOND, Wash., Jan 03, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Microvision (Nasdaq:MVIS), announced today that it has entered
into a development agreement with one of the world's leading
distributors and manufacturers of diverse consumer electronics
products. Under the agreement, the consumer electronics company will
be evaluating Microvision's advanced pico projector prototype displays
for use with a variety of mobile devices including phones, laptops and
personal media players. For confidentiality reasons, the name of the
consumer electronics partner and terms of the agreement were not
disclosed.

This is the second OEM agreement Microvision has announced to date
that focuses on the development of the PicoP(TM) display for consumer
mobility applications. PicoP is an ultra miniature display capable of
projecting full color, high-resolution images and designed to be small
and low power enough to be embedded directly into or attached to
compact, portable consumer electronics devices, such as mobile phones,
portable media players, laptops, digital cameras, camcorders and game
consoles. According to the Consumer Electronics Association, the
mobile electronics market in the United States alone is expected to
reach $170 billion in 2008.

“One of our goals has always been to engage leaders and innovators
in the markets that we plan to serve in order to create a new display
paradigm for mobility users,” said Alexander Tokman, President and CEO
of Microvision. “This latest agreement with a global, diversified
player in the consumer electronics sector marks yet another
significant milestone in the execution of our go-to-market strategy.”

“This and our other recent announcements illustrate the markets’
significant desire to bring a better viewing experience to mobile
device users. Sharing photos, watching videos, and giving
presentations using today’s tiny screens greatly limit everyone’s
enjoyment and experience. With Microvision’s PicoP display technology,
consumer electronics products will be able to project large, high
resolution images from very small devices. We believe that consumers
are eagerly awaiting this capability,” concluded Tokman.
