Screenless displays, interactive projection, near eye displays and LiDAR are major growing areas in electronics. (Microvision's tech is useful in all of these areas.)
Much of the talk recently in tech is about self-driving cars, and what they need are really good sensors to look around.
I heard a conversation yesterday about just how good that is and did a little checking up. The story I hears was about how the car is taking pictures of everything all the time -- lots and lots of sensing going on -- and when the car detected in front of it a car that was slowing, and a following car that couldn't possibly stop in time -- warned the driver about the accident BEFORE it happened.
There's video of this happening.
A lot of old-timers who are used to having their hands on the wheel ( and being surrounded by lesser drivers ) have some hesitance about accepting assistance from a machine.
Will this all be perfect? No. Will it need better sensors to get there? Yes. The Mems LIDAR will be very useful for this, and is driving down prices.
Microvision is in LIDAR with STM, which is a tremendous partner.
Ford is working with Velodyne, and Velodyne is mentioning Microvision in at least one LiDAR patent -- the current Velodyne laser scanner is large and expensive.

Thanks for the heads up today Dave.
From a market research report teaser.

As per the report, factors such as low power consumption, portability, wide angle view, and less space are predicted to propel the global market for screenless displays. The preference for new gadget and devices is increasing in many regions. However, even today, in many developing nations, there is a lack of awareness about the advanced technology, which is a threat for the key companies operating in the market.
Screenless displays might cause trouble to the eyesight, which is another factor expected to hamper the growth of the global market.Some of the prominent players listed in the report are Sony Corporation, Seiko Epson Corporation, Fujitsu Ltd, Microvision, International Business Machines Corporation, Toshiba Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, and Olympus Corporation. Companies are concentrating on promoting the new products and screenless displays to increase the clientage. With this, the key companies are expected to create new growth opportunities in the global market. Key companies are focusing on developing screenless display technologies such as the virtual retinal display, light-guided optical element, and retinal scanning display. Companies are taking efforts to add innovations in the screenless displays so as to capture a bigger share in the global market.
For a detailed analysis, the analysts have regionally divided the market into Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, and Rest of the World. Key companies are targeting different areas across different regions to increase their client base. With this, they aim to maintain their dominance throughout the forecast period. The adoption of low-power screenless displays is increasing, which is a plus point for the growth of the global market. The rising technological awareness among emerging nations will further propel the global screenless displays market, predict the analysts.
