Microvision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS)

This is a longshot but their technology portfolio is awesome, they just need the market demand for laser projectors to explode which it should since projector bulbs are insanely expensive.

I beleive thay have something that will someday be a part of our everday lives.

Patents, Patents, Patents!!!!

This company Microvision, being on top of all sorts of projection technology patents and now with better products and somewhat a bit better marketing than before, is a perfect candidate for a buyout. I believe its just a matter of time when some company like Microsoft/Apple will buy Microvision. Microsoft can literally embed this pico projector in xbox and valla! no TV is required to play games or Apple can embed this improved pico projector in their new devices. This company just need one small wind to go on the top. Regardless of what sales and revenue/debt numbers show, I am in for Microvision because it has a strong buyout candidate label attached to it.

good play in mobile

Good technology that I think will become popular in the next couple years at a low share price

Highly speculative stock, but the products similar to Microvision's will surely grow in use in the future.

Could pop big when the orders roll in.

Got hammered on the unexpected size of its loss. The story is still there - a way cool technology with the potential for commercialization beyond the military and incorporation into manufactured display gear for cars and planes into a mass consumer revolution. I know that's a bit speculative so treat the stock that way, but this is not a penny shot in the dark. THis tech is real and if anyone's seen the MIT video of the wearable projector form the Media Labs whiz kid, then you can see the possibilities. At $1.60, I'm willing to take a chance and hold on for a bumpy ride.

I don't know much about the financial background of the company, but as a tech-fiend, this technology is amazing. Just the military applications alone are staggering, and that's where some significant money lies.

disruptive technology

The provide the technology that people have been fantasizing about for the last two decades. Perhaps we are at the precipice of integration into everyday use.

Great technology that should be more in demand as economy strengthens.

Patents n enterprise use of iPads w Keynote app will bolster Pico projectors' sales. . . Think about it: ya want to haul around a bulky InSight projector or an iPhone size Pico. . .

The Fool has got my name next to this stock:

Yow. So I better say something.

Uhhhhh...good technology. Really cool. I don't have any money in this one. Just keeping an eye on her. I would personally like to see some revenue growth, earnings growth, some kinda growth. That sounded like cancer. Some kinda non-cancer good growth.

You want a suggestion, buy Finisar. I got money in that one. Damn if I want my pretend picks to do better than my real money picks (again).

$2 is a good price. I like that $2.

I was excited about this company, I dunno, six years ago? It's been dead money for a decade. One day it's going to be a 100-bagger. It's like investing in holograms. You got to be patient. Buy this one for your unborn child.

A few reasons that MVIS shows promise….

Microvision has always had a strong patent position, ranking #1 of all U.S. electronic companies in a 2010 report by IEEE that ranked overall ‘patent power’, ahead of Apple and Xerox.

Microvision is the only company using laser technology in pico-scale projectors.

Superior optics provided by lasers yields excellent contrast. Microvision has just boosted output from 10 to 15 lumens that enhances readability under modest environmental conditions.

MicroVision recently inked a deal with Pioneer to collaborate to commercialize HUD using its PicoP® technology. Pioneer has announced it is targeting commercial introduction of an in-vehicle HUD using PicoP technology into the consumer market in 2012.

MicroVision HUD technology is already in BMW F10 5-series production lines.

Both Pioneer and MicroVision were recently recognized as finalists for the CEATEC Innovation Awards for 2010. Pioneer was recognized in the automotive category for its demonstration of a HUD using laser scanning technology provided by MicroVision, and MicroVision was recognized in the Components category for its SHOWWX(TM) laser pico projector, powered by the PicoP display engine.

The real opportunity comes with the introduction of modules small enough to be embedded in devices like smart phones. Its collaboration with Samsung yielded a prototype Android "mini tablet", although product release is not yet scheduled.

A delay caused by a supply shortage of necessary green lasers should be resolved by the later part of 2011. MVIS management is projecting profitability within 6 months of mass scale introduction of its PicoP® embedded module in a variety of portable devices in 2012.

Recently Motorola became a shareholder in Microvision.

Beyond the horizon speculation in other sectors may be compelling as nascent technologies often have unforeseen usage and application. Anywhere precise visual representation is needed by small form-factor devices, embedded PicoP is a likely candidate offering investors new opportunities.

+ Exceptionally strong patent portfolio.
- Profit history is a major concern.

Micro/mobile display technologies are hot right now, G
good speculative pickup.
Adding to the basket that includes PANL and EMAN

It's been a long time coming with ups and downs. IMO the market is finally ready for MVIS. If you go long term mvis is ready for picking now. By the end of 2011 your fruit will be ripe!

Microvision could hold a huge advantage moving forward.
