Other
We group all our remaining revenue in a segment called "Other."
It includes our DLP® products, custom ASIC products, calculators and royalties as well as several small, mature product lines where the profitability is attractive but where our investments are minimal. In some cases, promising incubator product areas might also be included in this Other segment.
Although there are some differences in the various business models represented in this segment, in general, the products and revenue streams in Other combine low-but-stable growth with above-average profitability given the low investments and assets they require.
DLP products represent the largest business in this segment, with most of its revenue coming from the front projector market. Our calculator revenue has an annual pattern that is tied to the U.S. back-to-school season. As a result, calculator revenue is very seasonal and is at its highest in the second and third quarters.
