REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 11, 2008--Microvision, Inc. (NASDAQ: MVIS), a global leader in innovative ultra-miniature projection display and imaging products today announced that it has been awarded a $750,000 contract to perform initial engineering tasks that support development of a High-Definition (HD), full-color, see-through eyewear display. The name of the customer was not released for confidentiality reasons.
The development effort includes demonstration of a unique design approach of a HD system based upon Microvision's PicoP display engine technology. The work under the contract is consistent with Microvision's continued development of a lightweight see-through optical system and could lead to a variety of eyewear display applications.
Microvision's eyewear display platform is being designed to combine its miniature PicoP display engine technology with clear eyewear optics that channel light and direct it to the viewer's eye creating a bright, full color, see-through image while maintaining a transparent view of the surroundings. In addition to the see-through capability, this platform is expected to be differentiated from competitive offerings by its attractive ergonomics and ease-of-use.
"Customers are seeking new ways to deliver real-time, mission critical information," stated Ian Brown, Microvision VP of Marketing and Sales. "We believe Microvision's PicoP-enabled eyewear technology could provide competitive advantages for these customers due to its inherent qualities of high-brightness, compact form-factor, full-color and see-through clarity."
