Microvision (NASDAQ:MVIS) (NASDAQ: MVIS) is a technology company specializing in laser scanning and sensing solutions. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Redmond, Washington, MicroVision develops its proprietary PicoP® scanning technology, which integrates miniature lasers and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) mirrors to create high-resolution projection displays and three-dimensional sensing systems. Over the years, the company has built a portfolio of patents and intellectual property focused on precision optics and laser-based signal processing.
At the core of MicroVision’s offerings is its display platform, which enables compact, energy-efficient projection for augmented reality (AR) headsets, head-up displays (HUDs) in automotive environments, and consumer electronics applications such as pico projectors. By modulating laser beams through its MEMS-based scanner, the company can project bright, full-color images with minimal power consumption. This technology is designed to meet demanding size, weight and power requirements for wearable and mobile devices.
In parallel, MicroVision has leveraged its laser scanning expertise to develop long-range LiDAR sensor modules for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle applications. Its lidar solutions combine high-performance lasers, precision optics and on-chip processing to deliver accurate object detection and ranging capabilities under a variety of environmental conditions. The company targets partnerships with automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to integrate its sensors into next-generation safety and autonomy platforms.
Serving customers across North America, Europe and Asia, MicroVision collaborates with technology partners in the automotive, industrial and consumer markets. With a management team experienced in optics, electronics and software development, the company continues to refine its scanning engines and expand licensing opportunities for its core technologies. Through ongoing research and development, MicroVision seeks to enable new applications in AR, robotics, mapping and beyond.
