About Spatial Photonics

Spatial Photonics operated as a specialized developer and manufacturer of microdisplays tailored for both business and consumer projection display markets. The company was established in 2004 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.

The core of Spatial Photonics' business was its proprietary microdisplay technology, which utilized reflective digital light modulators to manage and adjust light intensity. This technology was positioned as a direct competitor to other established microdisplay solutions, including Digital Micro Mirror Display (DMD), High-Temperature Poly-Silicon (HTPS), and Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS). The firm's offerings were aimed at original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) within the projection display sector, providing them with critical components for their end products.

Throughout its operational history, Spatial Photonics secured significant financial backing from prominent venture capital firms. The company raised approximately $55.5 million over four funding rounds, attracting investments from institutions such as Kleiner Perkins, Intel Capital, DAG Ventures, and Hercules Capital. This substantial investment underscored investor confidence in its technology and market strategy. The company's journey as an independent entity concluded on July 1, 2012, when it was acquired by Himax Display, a subsidiary of Himax Technologies.
