Microvision to Develop Innovative Displays with a Global Automotive Tier 1 Supplier

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Microvision (NASDAQ:MVIS), the leader in light scanning technologies for display and imaging products, announced today that it has entered into a product development agreement with a second global Tier 1 automotive partner. Under the agreement, Microvision will work with this world leading Tier 1 automotive supplier to create innovative projection-based display solutions based on PicoP(TM), an ultra miniature full-color laser projector powered by the company's Integrated Photonics Module (IPM(TM)) technology. For confidentiality reasons, the name of the Tier 1 supplier and other details of the contract were withheld.

"This is another major automotive Tier 1 to recognize the enormous potential of our laser scanning based projection system and it further reinforces our conviction that Microvision's PicoP technology can enable a diverse class of new and exciting automotive display solutions, beyond just head-up display (HUD) applications," said Alexander Tokman, President and CEO of Microvision.

"Today, global automakers are looking for better, more efficient and flexible ways to display information to drivers and passengers. In addition to established information systems (car audio, vehicle monitoring, mobile phones), navigation systems are becoming common place. All of this information is displayed to the driver using a variety of display technologies with varying levels of performance and price. Microvision's ultra miniature laser projection display offers a higher degree of design flexibility and programmability compared with flat panel based technologies. For example, with PicoP automotive designers will be able to create irregular display surfaces that can be contoured and shaped to meet a variety of styles expectations and space constraints." -- concluded Tokman.
