ViewSonic Announces Worldwide 3G Smartphone Initiative

Natural extension of product line completes 3" - 300" screen product
offerings

London, UK - May 18th, 2009 - ViewSonic(r) Corp., a leading global provider
of visual display products, today announced plans to expand into the 3G
smartphone industry, making its 3" - 300" product line a reality. China will
be the first region to offer the phones, followed by Europe and the
Americas.

This marks ViewSonic's first product in the smartphone market, but falls in
line with the convergence of televisions, computers and mobile phones. As
the demand for mobile phone functionality increases, ViewSonic's heritage in
display technology plays an important role in the development of
smartphones. Consumers are demanding larger screens, greater colour
saturation and contrast to take advantage of new services such as mobile
Internet, television and video applications, gaming and eBooks.

"With 20 years of display experience this is a natural extension of our
product expertise," said James Chu, chairman and chief executive officer of
ViewSonic. "This is an important strategic step for ViewSonic, as it allows
us to apply our display technology to an even larger and rapidly growing
worldwide market."

Following successful market entries with LCD monitors, LCD TVs, projectors,
digital signage displays, digital photo frames and other display solutions,
ViewSonic is well positioned to take advantage of the rapidly expanding 3G
smartphone market.
