It would make for the ultimate video watch, but Sony’s targeted its new 0.7″ ECX332A OLED micro-display at micro four-third cameras, providing a crisp, high-res view of what’s in frame through an electronic viewfinder.
The minuscule display manages to squeeze in a resolution 1280×720, perfect for photographers who’ve also come to rely on their cameras for high-def video work. And for the discerning videographer, it offers 97 per cent colour gamut, 0.01ms response time, 200 cd/m2 brightness and uses the same white OLED and color-filter technology as the smaller, 0.5″ ECX331A display (pictured on the left) which is currently employed in their A77/A65 DSLRs and their NEX-7 and NEX-5N cameras.
Certainly useful applications, but disappointing for all of us Dick Tracy wannabes.

Sunday, November 6, 2011 at 3:24 PMWhy not? That’s how the business works. Samsung sells processors to Apple, Sony sells displays etc. It’s just money on the side.
Plus, if they weren’t buying from you, they’d just go to another manufacturer. There’s no thing as a complete monopoly, a competitor will inevitably produce a component to target and compete with every one of yours at those specific price points.
