# MicroVision, Inc.

> MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ: MVIS) is a Redmond, Washington-based developer of lidar and perception technology built on more than three decades of MEMS laser beam scanning. Once known for pico-projection and its PicoP scanning engine used in consumer displays, the company has pivoted to become a supplier of automotive-grade and industrial lidar sensors - the MAVIN and MOVIA lines - plus perception software, targeting ADAS, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and a fast-growing security and defense business.

- **Founded:** 1993
- **Headquarters:** Redmond, Washington, United States
- **Team size:** Approximately 190 employees
- **Products:** MAVIN, MOVIA L, MOVIA S, IRIS and HALO, FMCW ultra-long-range lidar
- **Notable:** More than 30 years pioneering MEMS-based laser beam scanning technology, Deep IP portfolio of roughly 735 issued and pending patents - among the largest in the lidar sector, Developed the PicoP scanning engine used in earlier consumer micro-display and pico-projection products

## Products & services

- **MAVIN** — Automotive-grade dynamic-view lidar line combining short-, medium- and long-range sensing in one form factor to enable high-speed highway ADAS and autonomy features.
- **MOVIA L** — Compact, short-to-medium range flash lidar sensor used across industrial, robotics and defense applications; shipped in volume to defense and industrial customers.
- **MOVIA S** — Next-generation compact lidar sensor for robotics and AI perception, with production launch expected in Q4 2026.
- **IRIS and HALO** — 1550nm time-of-flight long-range lidar sensors (IRIS, HALO) added via asset acquisitions, expanding the long-range portfolio.
- **FMCW ultra-long-range lidar** — 1550nm frequency-modulated continuous-wave lidar for ultra-long-range sensing, gained through the Scantinel Photonics acquisition.
- **MOSAIK Suite & Perception Software** — Software tools and perception software for calibration, validation, ground-truth generation and object classification that turn raw lidar into usable perception data.
- **PicoP scanning technology** — Ultra-miniature MEMS laser beam scanning engine originally developed for projection and micro-display, the technical foundation for the company's sensing products.

## Achievements

- More than 30 years pioneering MEMS-based laser beam scanning technology
