Product Name: Pico Projector

Microvision's stand-alone pico projector is scheduled for market introduction in 2009. Powered by the company's ultra-miniature PicoP™ display engine, the Pico Projector is a PDA-sized, fully self-contained, battery operated, full-color laser projector. Microvision's pico projector connects directly to laptops, mobile phones, portable media players (PMPs), digital cameras and other mobile devices to project large, high-resolution images and video onto any surface. The images projected can range anywhere from 12 inches (30 cm) to 100 inches (2.5 m) in size depending upon the projection distance and are always in focus. The commercial version of the device is expected to offer approximately 2.0 hours of continuous battery life, sufficient to watch a full-length movie without a need for recharging.

Designed for viewing high-quality projected images in a variety of controlled lighting environments, Microvision's Pico Projector projects a widescreen, WVGA (848 X 480 pixels), DVD quality image -- offering a very different experience from the tiny 2-inch display solutions available today on various portable devices.

Product Name: PicoP

PicoP is an ultra-miniature laser projector capable of producing color-rich, high-resolution, large images to give users a ‘big screen' viewing experience from an extremely small package. The first commercial application of a PicoP-enabled product (launch 2009) is a stand-alone, battery-operated accessory Pico Projector that connects directly to mobile devices, such as mobile media players, mobile phones, laptops and gaming devices.
