"With Only 5 Million, We Have Developed a Competitive Mini-Projector"

Lemoptix is developing an ultra-compact projector. The EPFL spin-off has already successfully entered a very competitive market, and will target new markets in 2014. A projection system barely larger than a grain of sugar is going to be integrated into many tools of daily life. From augmented reality glasses to mobile phones, from the "head-up display" system for cars to 3D scanners - Lemoptix, which now has 22 employees, hopes to finalize major contracts by the end of the year. An update follows with the designer and CTO of the company, Nicolas Abelé. Your company was founded in 2008. At what stage is the development of your tiny projector? - Nicolas Abelé: In 2008, when we had just developed this technology between the laboratories of microsystems and electronics, the goal was primarily to build a projector into mobile phones.
