Big companies invest millions of dollars researching this technology and none of them seem to be making any headway. The companies who have this project on their failed list include Hewlett-Packard, Toshiba, Intel, and Philips. MicroDisplay seems to be making some progress though, says the company's CEO: 'After 22 designs, 320 man-years, a 50% staff of Ph.Ds, and $50 million, you end up with a design that works.'"

If major fortune 500 corporations such as HP (slogan: HP Invent!) were unable to achieve this, how is a mere start-up going to do it?
PHds or no PHds, this requrires serious brains the likes of which are only available in large corporations such as HP, because the talent goes where the money is!!!

I call Bullshit and 'dotcom' hype.
