The Rumor mill has been very active lately, I'll hold onto my doubts about any announcement of an acquisition today, but there may be an a confirmation that the tech is used by Microsoft in Hololens.
If you've been following closely for the last year, there is little doubt that Microvision's near-eye display is the display for hololens.

MicroVision is a leader in ultra-miniature sensing and projection
solution based on the laser beam scanning methodology. MicroVision has a
substantial portfolio of patents relating to laser beam scanning
projection and sensing. For example, MicroVision’s MEMS engine can be
found inside Microsoft Hololens 2.
Today, Florida Independent
reported that Microsoft is acquiring MicroVision and the news may be
officially announced on May 12th. More than the current product
portfolio, MicroVision’s IP will be a great asset for Microsoft. Also,
MicroVision is already in talks with several car manufacturers for
providing sensor technologies for autonomous vehicles. MicroVision’s
relationship with car manufacturers may also help Microsoft to push its
Azure cloud in the automotive industry.
