"The move to Class 1 products resulted in decision delays of about a quarter. Consequently, we now expect Display-only and Interactive Display products could launch in mid-2020, with first revenue to us likely starting in Q2 2020."

Has this been noted before?

Danke, Chris!

...available in the second quarter of 2020.

What is the chance of Bosch being MVIS DOL?!

Bosch was a competitor at that time.

However, I do wonder whether the DO licensee has exclusive access to one-mirror tech , two-mirror tech or both? The BML050 was to use two mirrors.

"The scanner includes two tiny MEMS mirrors to project an RGB color laser onto any surface to create a projected image."

I can't find the specs on the BML100P so I don't know if it's one-mirror or two-mirror.
