REDMOND, Wash.--(Business Wire)--
Microvision (NASDAQ:MVIS) invites attendees of CTIA Wireless 2008
to test-drive its palm-sized, ultra-thin mobile laser projector
prototype, code named SHOW(TM), at Booth 4411, from April 1-3 in Las
Vegas.

   Based on the company's PicoP display engine technology, SHOW has
already attracted the interest and joint development initiatives of
mobile handset device manufactures, carriers and content providers. As
either a mobile device accessory--or embedded module in a
handset--mobile devices that integrate Microvision's PicoP display
engine into their products will be able to project any kind of digital
content in a large, full-color, high-resolution format onto any
surface.

   "No more squinting at images and text on small mobile device
screens. Consumers want a great big display that lets them project and
share TV, digital photos, movies, and games--as well as browse the
web--directly from their cell phones and other mobile devices. We
invite CTIA attendees to experience the difference that a pocket-sized
projector can make," says Alexander Tokman, president and CEO of
Microvision.

   Microvision will also demo at CTIA another laser-based
product--its pocket scanner called ROV. An affordable
Bluetooth-enabled barcode scanner for mobile workers, the ROV scanner
delivers data directly into business applications on users' laptops,
mobile phones, and PDAs.
