Sheldon Roberts, Eugene Kleiner, Robert N. Noyce, Victor H. Grinich, Julius Blank, Jean A. Hoerni and Jay T. Last on October 1, 1957 and is headquartered in San Jose, CA.

Spatial Photonics, Inc. (SP) develops and manufactures innovative microdisplays for high definition, high brightness and high contrast projection displays. SP's microdisplay is designed to be scalable, allowing the company to help its customers drive down its system cost. To enable a rapid volume production ramp-up, the company has developed proprietary and patent pending innovative solutions allowing the use of standard silicon manufacturing infrastructure to fabricate microdisplays. It will be a true silicon-in and display-out business model for any of the standard semiconductor manufacturing facilities. Leading semiconductor manufacturers have signed up to partner with SP to deliver the volume production capabilities. At the heart of the microdisplay is an array of ultra-fast, reflective digital light modulators that precisely control and modulate the light intensity. The proprietary technology provides a highly competitive alternative to the Digital Micro mirror Display (DMD), High Temperature Poly-Silicon (HTPS) and Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) display technologies currently used in the booming microdisplay projection market.
