Microvision Jumps Nearly 18%, Apple Reportedly ConsideringMicrovision (MVIS) is up after reports that Apple (AAPL) has had patent applications that suggest it may be considering projectors in some of its products. The story says one patent suggests the projector would be laser-based, and be both cheaper and more power efficient than conventional light projectors, while also overcoming the so-called “speckle” problem sometimes seen with laser projectors. The patent application also suggests the projector could be integrated into other devices — in fact, one of the claims specifically mentions a laptop with an integrated projector.
