INFOCUS(r) TO LICENSE TECHNOLOGY TO TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

Wilsonville, Ore., August 15, 2000 - InFocus Corp.(r) (NASDAQ: INFS, OSE: IFC) the worldwide leader in data/video projectors, today announced an intellectual property agreement in which Texas Instruments purchased the rights to embed proprietary InFocus technology in its Digital Light Processing( (DLP) technology solutions. DLP(tm) technology serves in a variety of applications, providing flawless image quality for data/video projectors, video walls, large venue projectors, home theatre systems and other display products.

Under the terms of this agreement, TI receives the rights to include InFocus patented and patent pending Kestral( auto-sync technology in all of its DLP(tm) solutions. Embedded directly in the DLP(tm) solution, Kestral technology automatically adjusts the pixel clock phase and frequency in the analog-to-digital signal conversion process, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and providing crisp, noiseless digital imagery. By embedding InFocus' Kestral technology inside its DLP(tm) devices, TI simplifies the development process for DLP(tm) technology-based products. Companies that make these products are therefore able to speed the development process and decrease their time-to-market. Incorporating auto-sync technology within the DLP(tm) technology also allows for fewer electronic components and hence more compact product designs.

This technology transfer and licensing agreement reflects TI's desire to enhance the value of its DLP(tm) technology products. "In order to improve functionality and speed time-to-market for companies developing projection/display solutions based on DLP technology, we plan to integrate best-in-class front-end electronics into our component sets," stated Bob England, Senior Vice President and Manager of Digital Imaging. "With the incorporation of this functionality from InFocus, TI's DLP solutions will be an even greater asset for our customers."

"TI's decision to license InFocus technology for its next generation of DLP(tm) devices is a clear indication of our core competence in developing superior imaging and projection technology," said John Harker, President and CEO of InFocus. "This agreement, along with other recently announced agreements positions InFocus auto-sync technology to be used in a great array of digital imaging applications that not only include the front projection market, but expand far beyond it. This agreement also highlights a continued effort by InFocus to leverage its cutting-edge patented technologies in a number of incremental, fast growing markets, through an aggressive licensing program."

In exchange for a series of lump-sum and ongoing royalty payments from TI, InFocus will transfer the Kestral auto-sync source code to TI, and license its U.S. Patents Nos. 5,805,233 and 5,767,916 and numerous pending patents which provide broad protection for InFocus' pioneering automatic phase and frequency correction. InFocus will also provide technical support to TI to facilitate the development and integration of the Kestral auto-sync technology into its new DLP(tm) controller designs.
