Microvision's No Show Hands the Pico Projector Market to TI

ME_wwwing - Are you sure about the cost of blue lasers?
Explay uses lasers for red and green but a LED for blue in
the products I can find.

At DigiKey; blue laser =$1,135, blue led =$7.21,
(The led has 10x flux.
Prices are Q=1 volume customers will pay much less)
Seems like MVIS could also use blue LED.

Both Macrovision and TI can use laser light sources, the laser attributes should not be applied to either MEMS device.
Questions if lasers are chosen;
-How is laser speckle reduced?
-When will the price of BLUE lasers come down? The price of a blue laser diode is more than the unsubsidized price of a cell phone!
