Subsequent Events [Abstract]
15. Subsequent events	15. Subsequent events In March 2015, we signed a multi-year license agreement with a customer granting them a non-exclusive license to our PicoP display technology for use in display modules it manufactures and sells. As part of the agreement, we received an $8.0 million up-front license fee in March 2015. In addition to the initial up-front license fee, we will also receive royalties for display modules sold by our customer. In March 2015, we received orders from a customer totaling $14.5 million for components. We plan to begin shipment of components for these orders in the second half of 2015 and expect fulfillment to continue into 2016.
