Laser-MEMS scanning mirror for ultra-miniature video projection

Abstract: MEMS mirror have been developed since the early 90’s, originally for telecom-switching application, but also in parallel for scanning-based laser projection systems with the great benefit of providing a projected image with very large color gamut, always-in-focus, ultra-small and low power. Lemoptix, a spin-off from the EPFL Micro-Systems laboratory was one of the pioneer in this field and has develop in-house MEMS-based laser projection system for multiple markets, ranging from Head-Up Display in car, wearable glass, 3D sensing and pico-projector. The company has successfully been acquired by Intel in 2015.

Bio: Nicolas Abelé, CTO, IP manager and co-founder of Lemoptix SA, recently acquired by Intel Corporation, 8 years after its incorporation. Lemoptix was a pure technology-IP licensing company. Nicolas was leading on one end the technology development and the customer interaction on the technical side, and the build of the IP portfolio on the other side.
