Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-228113)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the above-referenced registration statement (the “Registration Statement”), the base prospectus dated November 13, 2018 (the “Base Prospectus”) and the prospectus supplement dated July 23, 2019 (collectively with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”). The Prospectus relates to the sale by MicroVision, Inc. (the “Company”) of 3,044,144 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). We understand that the Shares are to be offered and sold in the manner described in the Prospectus.

We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the issuance of the Shares. For purposes of this opinion, we have examined and relied upon such documents, records, certificates and other instruments as we have deemed necessary. The opinions expressed below are limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for as described in the Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus contained therein. Our consent shall not be deemed an admission that we are experts whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Ropes & Gray LLP

a. The Company’s obligation to issue and sell the Securities to the Investor shall be subject to: (i) the receipt by the Company of the purchase price for the Securities being purchased hereunder and (ii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Investor and the fulfillment of those undertakings of the Investor to be fulfilled prior to the Closing.

b. The Investor’s obligation to purchase the Securities will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Company and the fulfillment of those undertakings of the Company to be fulfilled prior to the Closing.

The execution and delivery of this Subscription by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company. This Subscription has been duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

8. The Investor hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants to the Company:

a. The Investor represents that (i) it has had full access to the Prospectus, including the Company’s periodic reports and other information incorporated by reference therein, prior to or in connection with its receipt of this Subscription, (ii) it is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make, decisions with respect to investments in securities representing an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Securities, and (iii) it is acquiring the Securities for its own account, or an account over which it has investment discretion, and does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person or entity to distribute any of the Securities.

c. The Investor understands that nothing in this Subscription or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Securities.

d. Neither the Investor nor any Person acting on behalf of, or pursuant to any understanding with or based upon any information received from, the Investor has, directly or indirectly, as of the date of this Subscription, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) since the time that the Investor was first contacted by the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act. The Investor agrees that it will not use any of the Securities acquired pursuant to this Subscription to cover any short position in the Common Stock if doing so would be in violation of applicable securities laws.

This Subscription will constitute only an indication of interest, involving no obligation or commitment of any kind, until the Prospectus has been delivered or made available to the Investor and this Subscription is accepted and countersigned by or on behalf of the Company.

11. Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Subscription, all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company and the Investor herein will survive the execution of this Subscription, the delivery to the Investor of the Securities being purchased and the payment therefor.

13. In case any provision contained in this Subscription should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

14. This Subscription will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

15. This Subscription may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, will constitute but one instrument, and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties.

16. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor’s receipt of the Company’s counterpart to this Subscription shall constitute written confirmation of the Company’s sale of Securities to such Investor.
