I believe that this development puts us one step away from availabilty of cameras that remove the need for both mechanical shutters as well as mirror mechanisms. All that is required is to step up the MP count to match current generation counts.

OK there are still issues with modern EVF (electronic viewfinders) as the pixel count needs to reach 5-6MP (I believe) to truly replace the mirror and pentaprism viewing system but the pixel count is now in excess of 3.7MP in the EVF.
