December 14, 2007 — Microvision Inc., a U.S. developer of light scanning technologies for display and imaging products, has signed a development agreement with an unnamed European supplier of automotive and industrial technologies.
Microvision will deliver prototype samples for its Tier 1 partner to evaluate Microvision’s PicoP technology for a variety of automotive display applications, including heads-up displays.
Microvision has pioneered the development of an ultra-miniature laser projection technology based on the company’s proprietary MEMS scanning micromirror technology that offers important mobile application advantages over existing flat panel technologies: exceptional resolution, contrast and color, smaller packaging, and less power consumption. The name of the automotive Tier 1 supplier was withheld at its request.
