REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MicroVision, Inc. (MVIS), a leader in innovative ultra-miniature projection display technology, today announced that it is collaborating with a major global consumer electronics brand to develop a display engine for use in an innovative smartphone product.

“We are extremely pleased to be working with this industry-leading electronics brand on a display engine for a truly innovative product incorporating our revolutionary PicoP display technology,” said Alexander Tokman, president and CEO of MicroVision.

This design win, which is the culmination of months of design work and technical discussions, is the second for MicroVision with a major electronics brand on the Fortune Global 500.
