Enter the Ultimate Display
What it Does
Enables high performance miniature displays and cameras
Why it’s better
Higher performance
Smaller size
Lower cost
Scan Engine EVF Ocular
How it works
Low power lasers or LEDs are modulated and directed onto mirror
Mirror scans horizontally and vertically to project (or capture) image as a series of lines

Automotive HUD
Opportunity: Drivers love the HUD
Problems:
Current (FPD) product is too big & too expensive
Performance (contrast) is limited
Windshield alignment is a huge headache
Solution:
MVIS laser HUD is 60% smaller, improved contrast
MicroHUD image can be easily shaped with software for alignment
