About The Virtual Retinal Display
Microvision's VRD technology allows electronically generated images and information to be projected onto the retina of a viewer's eye. The VRD scans a low power beam of light to "paint" rows of pixels onto the eye, creating a high resolution, full-motion image without the use of electronic screens of any kind. The viewer looks at a small hand-held or head-worn device, which directs a pinpoint of light to the eye, rapidly scanning an image to the retina. To the viewer, the image appears to be an arm's length away, as if on a large video monitor. In reality, the image is on the viewer's eye -- not on a screen. Microvision expects that this revolutionary technology will create a dramatic demand for personal display technology products and applications and provide an opportunity to capture a significant portion of the growing market for personal electronic information displays.
