SHOW WX is the codename for a full colour laser based pico projector from Microvision, which is likely to be launched under another brand name. WX stands for Wide Experience which refers to the wide image format, wide colour range and wide, always-in-focus operation.
A pre-production model was shown at the recent Macworld Conference and Expo 2009 and CES 2009.

All specifications are “targets” and subject to change in the final production version, the resolution is aimed to be 848 x 480.
“SHOW WX is a major milestone on the transition path to product launch of our first PicoP enabled consumer product later in 2009,” said Alexander Tokman, President and CEO of Microvision.

This version, with the codename SHOW, is an advanced, standalone, fully functioning prototype using the proprietary miniature PicoP (TM) display engine – which can display a widescreen, DVD quality image at 848×480 pixels (WGVA) using red, green and blue lasers.

SHOW can connect directly to laptops, mobile phones, portable media players, digital cameras and other mobile devices to project large, high-resolution images and video onto any surface. The images projected can range anywhere from 30cm to 2.5m in size depending upon the projection distance and are always in focus. The production version of the device is expected to offer approximately 2.5 hours of continuous battery life, sufficient to watch a full-length movie without a need for recharging.
Back in July (2007) Microvision announced that it had signed an agreement with Motorola and more recently signed a development contract with one of the world’s leading distributors and manufacturers of diverse consumer electronics products to create Pico Projectors For Mobile Applications.
