  1. MICROVISION Driving Growth from A Platform: “The Ultimate Display!” October, 2004

  2. Microvision • Optical MEMS for Imaging • Silicon micromirror (beam scanning) technology • Displays (Micro-projection systems and virtual image displays) • Image Capture – micro-miniature cameras • Printing • 100 Issued US Patents (plus foreign counterparts) • 160 employees • Development contracts with industry leaders in large markets

  3. Partners and Customers

  4. The Big Picture • Computing/Information/Media • Are trying to become… • Mobile • Embedded • Pervasive • Why? • To better integrate with human activity – work, play, travel, entertainment

  5. Flies in the ointment? • What’s stopping them? • Some combination of… • Unacceptable form • Too big • Too awkward • Unacceptable user interface • Mismatch with human visual system • Small or low-res display limits • info capacity • Utility • Entertainment value

  6. Know your limits!

  7. Vertical Flexures Mirror Light Source Horizontal Flexures 22mm MEMS scanner 46.6mm Enter the Ultimate Display • What it Does • Enables high performance miniature displays and cameras • Why it’s better • Higher performance • Smaller size • Lower cost How it works • Low power lasers or LEDs are modulated and directed onto mirror • Mirror scans horizontally and vertically to project (or capture) image as a series of lines Scan Engine EVF Ocular

  8. A hands-free tool x • Techs need info in the service bay • Major pain point for service shops • Handheld devices won’t work in this environment • Need to hold tools • Tight spaces • Awkward positions

  9. The Solution

  10. Stryker and GPS In use in Iraq Crew can stay topside & still see GPS

  11. Automotive HUD Opportunity: Drivers love the HUD Problems: Current (FPD) product is too big & too expensive Performance (contrast) is limited Windshield alignment is a huge headache Solution: MVIS laser HUD is 60% smaller, improved contrast MicroHUD image can be easily shaped with software for alignment

  12. MicroHUD vs. Siemens VDO HUD Generation 2 prototype

  13. Consumer Electronics • Integrated Display Module • Need desktop quality! (HD) • 6-8X performance vs. current solutions • $40 Target OEM price • FPD’s become cost prohibitive! • Applications • Digital cameras • Gaming / DVD • Mobile devices

  14. Laser Printing • Print engine for high-speed color laser printer • Microvision contracted by large Asian company • Cost & performance advantages

  15. Laser Camera Images

  16. Wait there’s more! • Can we make a 1.4 megapixel camera this small?

  17. Thank You! NASDAQ:MVIS www.microvision.com
