Marden/Diogeron,

It follows that, if Ericsson could lead with a new phone or other type of communications device, using this technology, it may give them an advantage over the other phone makers.

I've owned ERICY for 4 years myself and I remember back then the company focused on R&D while Wall Street scoffed at them. Those of us who invested then got the last laugh. Having settled with QCOM and the advances it's made toward internet capabilities I've been watching and waiting for ERICY to repeat history. Obviously, I'm pulling to be the first on my block with an ERICY cell phone with VRD. <VBG>

I'm no techie myself but being heavily invested in technologies I likely share the same fascinations as most of you. A technology I first learned of through MVIS is known as Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). This technology is allowing MVIS to miniaturize their scanners making it practical to incorporate VRD into something the size of today's cellular phones. MEMS is a significant technology with a far and wide range of applications for many, many companies. Goodyear, for example, is embedding them in a new truck tire to measure air pressure without making contact with the tire.

MEMS are devices made with new technology that expands traditional two dimensional semiconductor fabrication processes.

Advances in photolithography and wafer processing have allowed three dimensional structures to be built on wafers using processes and equipment similar to that used by the semiconductor industry, but not limited to traditional semiconductor materials.


I'm often looking for companies using or making advances with this technology to gain an edge.
