Microprojection: My Portfolio Story
In the just-out Conde Nast Portfolio magazine and here on Portfolio.com, I have a story on a gee-whiz new technology called microprojection -- tiny projectors-on-a-chip that can be embedded in cell phones and show a video on a wall or screen.
I first heard about it when I interviewed Motorola CEO Ed Zander at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show. He just mentioned it in passing. Then early this year, I interviewed Corning CEO Wendell Weeks on stage at the University of North Carolina. He brought it up because Corning is making the tiny green lasers that help make microprojection possible. Wendell pointed me to Seattle company Microvision, and I went to see them, which resulted in the story.
