MicroVision and Intersil Partner to Offer Highly Efficient PicoP® Display Solution Optimized for Mobility
 MicroVision, Inc., a leader in innovative ultra-miniature projection display technology and Intersil Corporation, a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors, today announced an agreement to partner on the development of advanced, integrated chipsets (ASICS) for MicroVision’s patented high definition (HD) PicoP® display technology.

 This collaboration is expected to strengthen the technology and business roadmap for PicoP display technology by:
  •  integrating advanced features such as virtual touch and proximity sensing
  •  increasing brightness 
  •  reducing power consumption and component size
  •  lowering the cost of the overall solution.

...“Our collaboration with MicroVision demonstrates Intersil’s commitment to the pico projector market to provide compelling solutions for embedded applications,” said Dave Bell, president and CEO of Intersil. “We believe the combination of our chipset and MicroVision’s advanced PicoP display capabilities with game changing features will have great appeal in a broad range of emerging pico projector devices.”
