Microvision Allies to Make Head-Up Displays

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A supplier of light scanning technologies for display and imaging products, Microvision Inc. of Redmond, Wash., has partnered with an undisclosed automotive supplier to develop a commercial scanned-beam head-up display for automotive applications. Under the agreement, the companies will design and produce a series of advanced display samples, including devices that can withstand demanding environmental requirements.

Microvision also has entered into a technology development agreement with Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems of Dresden, Germany, a specialist in MEMS research and development. The companies previously partnered in developing MEMS scanning mirrors for large-volume display and imaging applications. MEMS scanners are an important component in Microvision’s Integrated Photonics Module platform, which is expected to result in miniature display engines for mass-market OEM applications.

Glossary
nano
An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
