FALLS CHURCH, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 21, 2001--Collaboration to Develop Image-rich Video and Data Applications for Next-generation Wireless Networks and Enterprises

"Inviso's OptiScape microdisplay technology dramatically improves the mobile user experience by providing them with the same rich Web content and graphical user interface as they had at their desktops," said Joy Weiss, CEO of Inviso. "Fully integrating microdisplay-equipped PDAs like Inviso's eCase device with wireless data access will create a wealth of exciting new application possibilities for Inviso and for Inciscent."

Inviso's microdisplays combine a digital CMOS backplane with advanced liquid crystal technology and patented viewing optics to create a low-power, highly integrated color display for mobile appliances. Typically viewed at about one inch from the eye, these displays create a virtual image equivalent to a 19-inch SVGA desktop monitor viewed at 2.5 feet.
