Dear Alexander:

As we have discussed, you have offered to resign your positions at the Company,
as outlined below, and it is anticipated your employment with MicroVision, Inc.
(the "Company") will terminate, effective as of December 31, 2017 (the
"Separation Date"). This letter (the "Agreement") will confirm the terms
concerning the remainder of your employment and your separation from the
Company, as follows:

Transition Period and Separation Date.

For purposes of this Agreement, the earlier of December 31, 2017 or the date on
which your employment actually terminates, if sooner, with the Company shall be
referred to herein as the "Separation Date." Until the Separation Date, you will
continue to be employed by the Company, as President, on a full-time basis. The
period beginning November 13, 2017 and concluding on the Separation Date will be
referred to as the "Transition Period." During the Transition Period, you will
be employed as an at-will employee. The terms of the Employment Agreement
between you and the Company, effective as of April 7, 2009 and amended as of
March 27, 2012 (the "Employment Agreement") are hereby superseded by this
Agreement, provided, however, that the provisions of the Employment Agreement
that survive the termination of your employment will continue to apply to you,
as set forth in Section 6 below.

1. Upon signing this Agreement, you will resign your position as CEO and your
role as a director. On the Separation Date you will resign your position as
President. You agree that for the period of up to eighteen months following the
Separation Date, you will make yourself reasonably available, on an as-needed
basis, to assist the Company upon request.  Such assistance shall be limited to
discrete transition matters and shall not amount to more than a de minmis amount
of time during any given week and at a time and place mutually agreed to by you
and the Company.

Final Salary and Vacation Pay. You will receive, on the Company's next regular
payday following the Separation Date, pay for all work you performed for the
Company through the Separation Date, to the extent not previously paid, as well
as pay, at your final base rate of pay, for any vacation days you earned but had
not used as of the Separation Date, determined in accordance with Company policy
and as reflected on the books of the Company. You will receive the payments
described in this Section 2 regardless of whether or not you sign this
Agreement.

Severance Benefits. In consideration of your acceptance of this Agreement and
subject to your meeting in full your obligations under it, including your
obligation to execute a post-employment general release and waiver of claims in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Release"), and your Continuing
Obligations:

The Company will pay you a monthly amount equal to $31,250 (which represents
your monthly base salary at your final base rate of pay as of immediately prior
to the Transition Period), for a period of eighteen (18) months following the
Separation Date (the "Severance Period"). Payments will be made in the form of
salary continuation in accordance with the Company's customary pay practices,
and, consistent with Section 5(d) of the Employment Agreement and Code Section
409A(2)(B)(i), will begin on the next regular Company payday following the date
that is six months after the Separation Date. The first payment will be
retroactive to the day following the Separation Date and include any amounts
that otherwise would have been paid between the Separation Date and the first
payment date had the payments started at the beginning of the Severance Period.

The Company will pay you an amount equal to $196,000 (which represents your
target bonus amount for performance year 2017). Such amount will be paid on a
pro rata basis during the Severance Period on the Company's payroll schedule,
and, consistent with Section 5(d) of the Employment Agreement and Code Section
409A(2)(B)(i), will begin on the next regular Company payday following the date
that is six months after the Separation Date. The first payment will be
retroactive to the day following the Separation Date and include any amounts
that otherwise would have been paid between the Separation Date and the first
payment date had the payments started at the beginning of the Severance Period.

If enrolled in the Company's group medical, dental and/or vision plans on the
Separation Date, you and/or your eligible dependents may elect to continue your
participation in those plans for a period of time pursuant to the federal law
known as "COBRA" or similar applicable state law (together, "COBRA"). This
election may be made whether or not you accept this Agreement. However, if you
accept this Agreement and you and/or your eligible dependents timely elect to
continue your participation in such plans, the Company will reimburse you a
monthly amount equal to the amount it contributes from time to time to group
medical, dental and/or vision insurance premiums (as applicable) for its active
employees (the "Monthly Premium Payment"), until the earlier of (i) the end of
the Severance Period or (ii) the date you and your eligible dependents are no
longer entitled to coverage under COBRA or Company plans (the "COBRA Period"). 
Consistent with Section 5(d) of the Employment Agreement and Code Section
409A(2)(B)(i), Monthly Premium Payments will begin on the next regular Company
payday

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

following the date that is six months after the Separation Date and be payable
each month thereafter.  The first payment will be retroactive to the day
following the Separation Date and include any amounts that otherwise would have
been paid between the Separation Date and the first payment date had the
payments started at the beginning of the Severance Period. In addition to the
Monthly Premium Payments, the Company will pay you an additional amount equal to
the statutory minimum withholding applicable to the Monthly Premium Payment (the
"Additional Amount") plus an amount equal to the statutory minimum withholding
that applies to the Additional Amount (together with the Additional Amount, the
"Tax Gross Up").  The Tax Gross Up will be paid on the same schedule as the
underlying Monthly Premium Payment.

The Company will accelerate the vesting and exercisability of 37,500 shares of
the Company's common stock subject to the Company stock option granted to you on
February 8, 2017, effective as of the Separation Date, which shares represent
the number of shares subject to such Company stock option that otherwise would
have vested and become exercisable on February 8, 2018 had you remained
employment with the Company through such date under the original terms of such
stock option.

Acknowledgement of Full Payment and Withholding.

You acknowledge and agree that, except as required by law, the payments provided
under Section 2 of this Agreement are in complete satisfaction of any and all
compensation or benefits due to you from the Company, whether for services
provided to the Company or otherwise, through the Separation Date and that,
except as expressly provided under this Agreement, no further compensation or
benefits are owed or will be provided to you.

All payments made by the Company under this Agreement shall be reduced by any
tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law
and all other lawful deductions authorized by you.

Status of Employee Benefits, Paid Time Off and Expenses.

Except for any right you may have to continue your participation and that of
your eligible dependents in the Company's medical, dental, and vision plans
under COBRA and except as provided for in Section 3(c) of this Agreement, your
participation in all employee benefit plans of the Company will end as of the
Separation Date, in accordance with the terms of those plans. You will receive
information about your COBRA continuation rights under separate cover.

Within sixty (60) days following the Separation Date, you must submit your final
expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses you incurred
through the Separation Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement, and, in
accordance with Company policy, reasonable substantiation and documentation for
the same. The Company will reimburse you for your authorized and documented
expenses within thirty (30) days of receiving such statement pursuant to its
regular business practice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Except as set forth in Section 3(d) of this Agreement, your rights and
obligations with respect to any stock options granted to you by the Company
which had vested as of the Separation Date shall be governed by the applicable
stock option plan and any agreements or other requirements applicable to those
options.

Continuing Obligations, Confidentiality and Non-Disparagement.

Subject to Section 8(b) of this Agreement and applicable law, you acknowledge
that you continue to be bound by your obligations under the Employment Agreement
that survive the termination of your employment, including without limitation
your obligations set forth in Sections 7-11 and 13 thereof (collectively, the
"Continuing Obligations"). For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be held
criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for
disclosing a trade secret (y) in confidence to a federal, state, or local
government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely
for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or
(z) in a complaint or other document filed under seal in a lawsuit or other
proceeding; provided, however, that notwithstanding this immunity from
liability, you may be held liable if you unlawfully access trade secrets by
unauthorized means.

Subject to Section 8(b) of this Agreement, and except as otherwise required by
law, you agree that you will not disclose this Agreement or any of its terms or
provisions, directly or by implication, except to members of your immediate
family and to your legal and tax advisors, and then only on condition that they
agree not to further disclose this Agreement or any of its terms or provisions
to others.

Subject to Section 8(b) of this Agreement and applicable law, you agree that you
will never disparage or criticize any of the Released Parties (as defined
below), the Company, its Affiliates, their business, their management or their
products or services, and that you will not otherwise do or say anything that
could harm the interests or reputation of the Company or any of its Affiliates.
The Company, in turn, agrees that it will never disparage or criticize you, your
professional standing, your role with the Company, or otherwise, and that it
will not otherwise do or say anything that could harm your personal or
professional interests or reputation. You understand that the Company's
obligations under this Section 6(c) relate only to the Company's officers and
directors.

Return of Company Documents and Other Property. In signing this Agreement, you
agree that you will return to the Company any and all documents, materials and
information (whether in hardcopy, on electronic media or otherwise) related to
the business of the Company and its Affiliates (whether present or otherwise),
and all Company keys, access cards, credit cards, computer hardware and software
(with exception of your Company-issued MacBook laptop computer, which you are
being permitted to keep), telephones and telephone-related equipment and all
other property of the Company or any of its Affiliates in your possession or
control. Further, you agree that you will not retain any copy or derivation of
any documents, materials or information (whether in hardcopy, on electronic
media or otherwise) of the Company or any of its

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affiliates. Recognizing that your employment with the Company will terminate as
of the Separation Date, you agree that you will not, except as requested or
otherwise agreed to by the Company in connection with any transition assistance,
following the Separation Date, for any purpose, attempt to access or use any
computer or computer network or system of the Company or any of its Affiliates,
including without limitation the electronic mail system. Further, you agree to
disclose to the Company, on or before the Separation Date, any and all passwords
necessary or desirable to obtain access to, or that would assist in obtaining
access to, all information which you have password-protected on any computer
equipment, network or system of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

General Release and Waiver of Claims.

In exchange for the special severance benefits provided to you under this
Agreement, to which you would not otherwise be entitled, on your own behalf and
that of your heirs, executors, administrators, beneficiaries, personal
representatives and assigns, you agree that this Agreement shall be in complete
and final settlement of any and all causes of action, rights and claims, whether
known or unknown, accrued or un-accrued, contingent or otherwise, that you have
had in the past, now have, or might now have, in any way related to, connected
with or arising out of your employment, its termination, your other associations
with the Company or any of its Affiliates, or pursuant to Title VII of the Civil

the Company, its Affiliates and all of their respective past, present and future
directors, shareholders, officers, members, managers, general and limited
partners, employees, employee benefit plans, administrators, trustees, agents,
representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns, and all others connected
with any of them, both individually and in their official capacities
(collectively, the "Released Parties"), from, and you hereby waive, any and all
such Claims.

This release does not extend to any obligations incurred under this Agreement.
This release does not release claims that cannot be released as a matter of law,
including any Protected Activity (as discussed below) or any indemnification
rights available under any indemnification agreement signed by you with the
Company, Company Bylaws, or otherwise under applicable law.

This Agreement, including the general release and waiver of claims set forth in
Section 8(a), creates legally binding obligations and the Company and its
Affiliates therefore advise you to consult an attorney before signing this
Agreement. In signing this Agreement, you give the Company and its Affiliates
assurance that you have signed it voluntarily and with a full understanding of
its terms; that you have had sufficient opportunity of not less than twenty-one

promises or representations, express or implied, that are not set forth
expressly in this Agreement.

You agree to sign the Release by the later of five (5) days following the
Separation Date and twenty-one (21) days following the date hereof (and in no
event before the Separation Date). You further agree that the signed and
unrevoked Release is an express condition to your receipt and retention of the
severance benefits described in Section 3 above.

You understand that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or prohibit
you from engaging in any Protected Activity. For purposes of this Agreement,
