Mirror

Vertical Flexures

Horizontal Flexures

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

MEMS scanner

46.6mm

22mm

A hands-free tool

x Techs need info in the service bay

Major pain point for service shops

Handheld devices won’t work in this environment Need to hold tools

Tight spaces

Awkward positions

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

Consumer Electronics

Integrated Display Module

Need desktop quality! (HD)

6-8X performance vs. current solutions

$40 Target OEM price

FPD’s become cost prohibitive!

Applications Digital cameras Gaming / DVD Mobile devices

Laser Printing

Print engine for high-speed color laser printer

Microvision contracted by large Asian company

Cost & performance advantages
