Toshiba and InFocus Enter OEM Agreement

WILSONVILLE, Ore. -- June 22, 1999 -- InFocus(R) (NASDAQ: INFS), the worldwide technology and market leader in data/video projection, today announced an OEM supplier agreement with Toshiba Corporation, Tokyo, Japan. Under the terms of this agreement, InFocus will supply their highly popular, award-winning personal projector platforms to Toshiba enabling them to quickly supply their customers with industry-leading personal projector products. This agreement also provides for future technology exchanges between the two companies.

"Toshiba looks forward to working closely with InFocus to build the market for personal projectors around the world", said Masa Hayashi, Senior Manager, Toshiba Visual Products Division. "InFocus has proven its ability to develop and continually enhance products that meet the needs of the most demanding projector users."

According to a recent Pacific Media Associates (PMA) report, worldwide data/video projector unit volume is expected to grow by over 30% in 1999. The ultra-portable segment (under ten-pounds) is expected to grow by over 120%. "Ultra-portable, or personal, data/video projectors are becoming more common business presentation tools", said William Coggshall, President, Pacific Media Associates. "Today these small, versatile projectors are more popular than ever because of their enhanced portability, functionality, PC integration and lower cost versus bigger, more expensive alternatives of a couple of years ago." PMA is a leading projector and display industry analyst firm based in Mountain View, CA.

InFocus has been marketing its personal projectors as high-powered PC peripherals since the introduction of the first true personal projector (the InFocus LP420) in November, 1997.
