EXPLANATORY NOTE

        This Post-Effective Amendment to Registration Statement No. 333-102244 on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") is being filed pursuant to Rule 414 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") by Microvision, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Microvision-DE"), which is the successor to Microvision, Inc., a Washington corporation ("Microvision-WA"), following a reincorporation merger. The merger was effected through the merger of Microvision-WA with and into Microvision-DE, with the result that Microvision-DE is the surviving corporation and successor issuer to Microvision-WA. Immediately prior to the Merger, Microvision-DE had no assets or liabilities other than nominal assets or liabilities. In connection with the merger, Microvision-DE acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Microvision-WA.

        In connection with the merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Microvision-WA was converted into one common share of Microvision-DE.

        In accordance with Rule 414(d) of the Securities Act, Microvision-DE, as successor issuer to Microvision-WA, hereby expressly adopts the Registration Statement as its own for all purposes under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").




PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        Article 8 of Microvision's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes Microvision to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Article 8 also requires indemnification of present and past directors, as well as any person who, while a director, also was serving at the request of Microvision as an officer, employee or agent of Microvision or as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity (each, an "Indemnitee"), who was or is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), because such Indemnitee is or was a director of Microvision. Article 8 of the Certificate of Incorporation also provides that any Indemnitee who was or is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of Microvision to procure a judgment in its favor because such Indemnitee is or was a director of Microvision, will be indemnified and held harmless by Microvision to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all expense actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection with such action or suit; provided that the Indemnitee must have acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Microvision; and provided further that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding these indemnification obligations, no indemnification will be provided to any Indemnitee to the extent that such indemnification would be prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law as then in effect, nor, except with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, will Microvision indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person except where such Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors.

        Article 8 of the Certificate of Incorporation also provides that expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition may be advanced by Microvision to the Indemnitee upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by Microvision, except where the Board of Directors adopts a resolution expressly disapproving such advancement.

        Article 8 of the Certificate of Incorporation also authorizes the Board to indemnify and advance expenses to officers, employees and agents of Microvision on the same terms and with the same scope and effect as the provisions thereof with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

MICROVISION, INC.

ARTICLE I

        The name of this corporation is Microvision, Inc.

ARTICLE II

        The registered office of this corporation in the State of Delaware is located at 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, in the City of Wilmington, County of Newcastle, Delaware 19808. The name of its registered agent at such address is Corporation Service Company.

ARTICLE III

        The purpose of this corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL").

ARTICLE IV

        The total number of shares of all classes of stock which this corporation shall have authority to issue is 98,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 73,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value ("Common Stock"), and (ii) 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value ("Preferred Stock").

        The following is a statement of the designations and the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of this corporation.

        1.     Common Stock.     

1


        2.     Preferred Stock.     

        Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein and in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as hereinafter provided. Any shares of Preferred Stock which may be redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Corporation may be reissued except as otherwise provided by law or this Certificate of Incorporation. Different series of Preferred Stock shall not be construed to constitute different classes of shares for the purposes of voting by classes unless expressly provided in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided.

        Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors from time to time to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and in connection with the creation of any such series, by resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of the shares thereof, to determine and fix such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as shall be stated and expressed in such resolutions, all to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolutions providing for issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to the Preferred Stock of any other series to the extent permitted by law and this Certificate of Incorporation. Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, no vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock shall be a prerequisite to the designation or issuance of any shares of any series of the Preferred Stock authorized by and complying with the conditions of this Certificate of Incorporation, the right to have such vote being expressly waived by all present and future holders of the capital stock of the Corporation.

ARTICLE V

        This corporation shall have a perpetual existence.

ARTICLE VI

        In furtherance of and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors, acting by majority vote of the entire Board, is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the By-Laws of this Corporation, subject to the right of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto to alter and repeal the By-Laws adopted or amended by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the By-Laws shall not be altered, amended or repealed by the stockholders of the Corporation except by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

ARTICLE VII

        Except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability. No amendment to or repeal of this provision shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

2



ARTICLE VIII

        1.     Indemnification.     The Corporation shall, to the maximum extent permitted under the DGCL and except as set forth below, indemnify and upon request advance expenses to each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including any employee benefit plan (all such persons being referred to hereafter as an "Indemnitee"), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee seeking indemnification in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim, or part thereof, initiated by the Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

        2.     Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.     Any indemnification under paragraph 1 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article and that the amount requested has been actually and reasonably incurred. Such determination shall be made:

        3.     Advance of Expenses.     Notwithstanding any other provisions, this Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws of the Corporation, or any agreement, vote of stockholder or disinterested directors, or arrangement to the contrary, the Corporation shall advance payment of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of any matter only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Indemnitee to make such repayment.

        4.     Subsequent Amendment.     No amendment, termination or repeal of this Article or of the relevant provisions of the DGCL or any other applicable laws shall affect or diminish in any way the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such amendment, termination or repeal.

        5.     Other Rights.     This corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by its Board of Directors, grant indemnification rights to other employees or agents of the Corporation or other

3



persons serving the Corporation and such rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than, those set forth in this Article.

        6.     Merger or Consolidation.     If this Corporation is merged into or consolidated with another corporation and the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, the surviving corporation shall assume the obligations of the Corporation under this Article with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the date of such merger or consolidation.

        7.     Savings Clause.     If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee as to any expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

        8.     Scope of Article.     Indemnification and advancement of expenses, as authorized by the preceding provisions of this Article, shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be an authorized representative and shall inure to the benefits of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

        9.     Insurance.     The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

ARTICLE IX

        The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

ARTICLE X

        This Article is inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation.

        1.     Number of Directors.     The number of directors of the Corporation shall not be less than three. The exact number of directors within the limitations specified in the preceding sentence shall be fixed from time to time by, or in the manner provided in, the By-Laws of the Corporation.

        2.     Election of Directors.     Elections of directors need not be by written ballot except as and to the extent provided in the By-Laws of the Corporation.

        3.     Terms of Office.     Except as provided in Section 5 of this Article, each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the next annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such

4



director was elected; provided, however , that the term of each director shall be subject to the election and qualification of his successor and to his earlier death, resignation or removal.

        4.     Removal.     The directors of the Corporation may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote generally in the election of directors cast at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose.

        5.     Vacancies.     Any vacancy in the Board of Directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of the Board, shall be filled only by vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office, subject to the election and qualification of his successor and to his earlier death, resignation or removal.

        6.     Stockholder Nominations and Introduction of Business, Etc.     Advance notice of stockholder nominations for election of directors and other business to be brought by stockholders before either an annual or special meeting of stockholders shall be given in the manner provided by the By-Laws of this Corporation.

ARTICLE XI

        The books of this Corporation may, subject to any statutory requirements, be kept outside the State of Delaware as may be designated by the Board of Directors or by the By-Laws of this Corporation.

ARTICLE XII

        At any time during which a class of capital stock of this Corporation is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any similar successor statute, stockholders of such class of the Corporation may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

ARTICLE XIII

        Special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time only by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer (or if there is no Chief Executive Officer, the President), a majority of the Board of Directors or as otherwise provided in the By-Laws of this Corporation. Any business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws, each as amended, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of a majority of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors shall be required to amend or repeal or to adopt any provisions inconsistent with the purpose or intent of this Article XIII.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned sole incorporator hereby certifies that the facts stated above are true as of this 30th day of April, 2003.

ARTICLE 1—STOCKHOLDERS

        1.1     Place of Meetings.     All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, or, if so determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, at no place (but rather by means of remote communication), as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or the President or, if not so designated, at the principal executive office of the corporation.

        1.2     Annual Meeting.     The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held at such date and time as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting. If no annual meeting is held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, a special meeting may be held in lieu of the annual meeting, and any action taken at that special meeting shall have the same effect as if it had been taken at the annual meeting, and in such case all references in these By-Laws to the annual meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to refer to such special meeting.

        1.3     Special Meeting.     Special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer (or, if there is no Chief Executive Officer, the President) or by vote of a majority of the Board of Directors. Further, a special meeting of the stockholders shall be held if the holders of not less than twenty-five (25) percent of all the votes entitled to be cast on the issue proposed to be considered as such special meeting have dated, signed and delivered to the Secretary one or more written demands for such meeting. Any business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

        1.4     Notice of Meetings.     Except as otherwise provided by law, written notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notices of all meetings shall state the place, if any, the date, the means of remote communications, if any by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and the hour of the meeting. The notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given either personally or by mail, electronic mail, telecopy, telegram or other electronic or wireless means. Notices not personally delivered shall be sent charges prepaid and shall be addressed to the stockholder at the address of that stockholder appearing on the books of the corporation. Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or at the time of transmission when sent by electronic mail, telecopy, telegram or other electronic or wireless means. An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any stockholders' meeting, executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any transfer agent of the corporation giving the notice, shall be prima facie evidence of the giving of such notice or report.

        1.5     Voting List.     The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, for any purpose germane to the meeting on either a reasonably accessible electronic network (for which such information required to access the electronic network shall be provided with the notice of the meeting) or, during ordinary business hours, at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held. If the meeting is to be held at a place, the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time of the meeting, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably

2



accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

        1.6     Quorum.     Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the holders of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, by means of remote communication, if authorized, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

        1.7     Adjournments.     Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these By-Laws by the stockholders present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, although less than a quorum, or, if no stockholder is present, by any officer entitled to preside at or to act as secretary of such meeting. It shall not be necessary to notify any stockholder of any adjournment of less than thirty (30) days if the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which adjournment is taken, unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

        1.8     Voting.     Each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of capital stock entitled to vote and held of record by such stockholder, unless otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may vote in person or by electronic means, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

        Any stockholder entitled to vote on any matter may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or, except when the matter is the election of directors, may vote them against the proposal; but if the stockholder fails to specify the number of shares which the stockholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the stockholder's approving vote is with respect to all shares which the stockholder is entitled to vote.

        1.9     Proxy Representation.     Every stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy in all matters in which a stockholder is entitled to participate, whether by waiving notice of any meeting, objecting to or voting or participating at a meeting, or expressing consent or dissent without a meeting. The delivery of a proxy on behalf of a stockholder consistent with telephonic or electronically transmitted instructions obtained pursuant to procedures of the Corporation reasonably designed to verify that such instructions have been authorized by such stockholder shall constitute execution and delivery of the proxy by or on behalf of the stockholder. No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date unless such proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. The authorization of a proxy may but need not be limited to specified action, provided, however, that if a proxy limits its authorization to a meeting or meetings of stockholders, unless otherwise specifically provided such proxy shall entitle the holder thereof to vote at any adjourned session but shall not be valid after the final adjournment thereof. A proxy purporting to be authorized by or on behalf of a stockholder, if accepted by the Corporation in its discretion, shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger.

        1.10     Action at Meeting.     When a quorum is present at any meeting, action on a matter shall be approved by a voting group if the votes cast within a voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast within the group opposing the action, unless a greater number of affirmative votes is required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by the By-Laws. No ballot shall be required for any election

3



unless requested by a stockholder present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election.

        1.11     Nomination of Directors.     Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors. The nomination for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation at a meeting of stockholders may be made only (a) pursuant to the notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record of the Corporation at the time the notice provided for below in this Section 1.11 is delivered to the Secretary, who is entitled to vote in the election of directors at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.11. Such nominations, other than those made by or on behalf of the Board of Directors, shall be made by timely notice in writing delivered or mailed to the Secretary in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.12. Such notice shall set forth (a) as to each proposed nominee (i) the name, age, business address and, if known, residence address of each such nominee, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of each such nominee, (iii) the number of shares of stock of the corporation which are beneficially owned by each such nominee, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nominations are to be made by the stockholder, and (v) any other information concerning the nominee that must be disclosed as to nominees in proxy solicitations pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), including such person's written consent to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice, the information required to be provided pursuant to Section 1.12. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation.

        The chair of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.11, and if he or she should so determine, the chair shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.11. Nothing in this Section 1.11 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act.

        1.12     Notice of Business at Annual Meetings.     At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting.

For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, if such business relates to the election of directors of the Corporation, the procedures in Section 1.11 must be

4



complied with. If such business relates to the election of directors or to any other matter, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than sixty (60) calendar days nor more than ninety (90) calendar days prior to the annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however , that if less than sixty (60) days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is given or made to the stockholders, then for the notice by the stockholder to be timely it must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10 th business day following the date on which the notice of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever occurs first. A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation's books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (d) any material interest of the stockholder in such business. Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12 and except that any stockholder proposal which complies with Rule 14a-8 of the proxy rules, or any successor provision, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is to be included in the corporation's proxy statement for an annual meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to comply with the requirements of this Section 1.12.

        The chair of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.12, and if he or she should so determine, the chair shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.12, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the corporation to present business, such proposed business shall not be transacted,

        Notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.12, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.12. Nothing in this Section 1.12 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act.

        1.13     Conduct of Meeting.     The Chairman of the Board or, in his or her absence, the President or any Vice President, in the order named, shall call meetings of the stockholders to order and act as chair of such meeting; provided, however , that, in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the Board of Directors may appoint any stockholder to act as chair of any meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation or, in his or her absence, any Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary at all meetings of the stockholders; provided, however , that in the absence of the Secretary at any meeting of the stockholders, the person acting as chair at any meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of such meeting.

        The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the person presiding over the meeting shall have the right and authority to convene and adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of the person presiding over the meeting, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation,

The Court may summarily order the corporation to permit the director to inspect any and all books and records, the stock ledger, and the stock list and to make copies or extracts therefrom.

Re:
Post-Effective Amendments Nos. 1 to Registration Statements on Form S-3 (Registration Nos. 333-76395, 333-79753, 333-81311, 333-84587, 333-89257, 333-33612, 333-69652, 333-76432, and 333-102244)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the above-referenced registration statements (the "Registration Statements") of Microvision, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933.

We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the adoption by the Company of the Registration Statements in connection with the Company's reincorporation in the State of Delaware. For purposes of this opinion, we have examined and relied upon such documents, records, certificates and other instruments as we have deemed necessary.

The opinions expressed below are limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law, including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and the reported cases interpreting those laws.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that (i) the shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") that remain available for issuance by the Company, including the shares of Common Stock (collectively, the "Shares") that remain available for issuance upon exercise of any warrants issued under the Registration Statements (the "Warrants") have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered against payment therefore in accordance with the terms of the Warrants or such other terms approved by the board of directors will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and (ii) the shares of Common Stock offered by the selling shareholders listed in the Registration Statements are, or upon exercise or conversion of securities exercisable for or converted into Common Stock in accordance with their terms will be, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We hereby consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statements and to the use of our name therein. Our consent shall not be deemed an admission that we are experts whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933.

This opinion may be used only in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares while the Registration Statements are in effect.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Ropes & Gray LLP
