PR today: prnewswire.com BOTHELL, Wash., May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Microvision, Inc. (Nasdaq: MVIS), the leader in laser-scanning display technology, announced today that its advanced research and development team has demonstrated a small rear-projection display that is daylight-readable. The projection display has several potential applications in automobiles, including a driver information center, reconfigurable instrument panel, and -- coupled with rear-facing cameras -- a replacement for side-mounted rear view mirrors. The high-resolution image is scanned onto the back of a mylar screen which is specially treated to prevent light from scattering. The result is an extremely bright, daylight readable display that can be produced in a wide array of shapes and sizes, and can display virtually any information that can be imagined by the vehicle designer. Displays in automobiles are becoming more and more important for a variety of reasons including the delivery of information services to the driver. Manufacturers are also interested in instrument panel displays that are more versatile and can produce higher quality graphics than the displays currently in use. Higher resolution displays would also allow for individual instruments and dash panels to be reconfigured; an advantage to manufacturers during production and to drivers who want to customize or upgrade their instrument panel. "There is keen interest from automobile companies in high resolution, high brightness displays that can be flexibly configured," said Tom Sanko, Microvision's vice president for marketing. "Existing display technology doesn't meet key requirements for such systems -- daylight readability, low-cost, power efficiency and longevity. We believe that a significant market opportunity exists for Microvision's display technology in this market and that we can meet all of the requirements for such systems. While this is an early effort, we are quite excited because we can adapt existing technology being developed for our Nomad wearable display to meet initial requirements with monochromatic displays while offering a path to full-color systems." About Microvision Headquartered in Bothell, Wash., Microvision, Inc. is the developer of the patented retinal scanning display technology and a world leader in micro miniature optical scanning technology for display and imaging applications. The company's technology has application in a broad range of military, medical, industrial, professional and consumer information products.

The projection display has several potential applications in automobiles, including a driver information center, reconfigurable instrument panel, and -- coupled with rear-facing cameras -- a replacement for side-mounted rear view mirrors. And the whole shebang will be more fuel efficient, MUCH safer, and eventually even cheaper than a pair of remote control mirrors (priced any lately?). Maybe it can even be set to detect John Law.

Well, it looks like the Ze'ev and Auric show is on again. Ze'ev, if you find him to be right more often than not (and you yourself have said his "short interest" post was wrong), it is surely not because he (or you) know or care anything about MVIS' technology. It is probably attributable to the simple fact that the guy giving us the gold finger from who knows where started up as a short when the NASDAQ was integral multiples of its current value. While I am sure you or he will point the odd post, every one of Auric's emetic posts that I have seen were content-free, except to bray that "THIS PIG IS GOING DOWN!" or make similar utterances. Over the years, this stock has been less news driven than some might think. Thus, there is no need to worry about the recent automotive noises, they might not prove to be anything more than noise. MVIS more or less tracks the NASDAQ (until it breaks out), 1 point for every 100 in the average. siliconinvestor.com
