An electronic view finder or EVF is a view finder where the image captured by the lens is projected electronically onto a miniature display. The image on this display is used to assist in aiming the camera at the scene to be photographed.
EVFs have an advantage over OVF* in being able to display various kinds of information alongside the image, however until now the resolution of EVFs has been too low to allow for accurate manual focusing.
Epson's ULTIMICRON panels solve this problem, while also providing additional benefits for users.
*OVF:Optical View Finder
EVF has the potential to revolutionize digital single-lens cameras.
There are three important merits provided by cameras equipped with electronic view finders.
EVFs continues to display the image as the photo is taken, enabling users to be confident about the final image.

*When taking motion pictures...
The EVF removes the need for the conventional mirror box and prism used in SLR cameras, allowing cameras to be made smaller and lighter.
*This can also be done through OVF with Lens-based Optical Stabilization.
Epson's ultra small and super fine pitch HTPS color LCD “ULTIMICRON” technology provides further user benefits when used for EVF.
Although cameras equipped with EVF have been available, no EVF has had sufficient resolution to become a true replacement by offering the definition needed for accurate focusing.
Epson's ULTIMICRON SVGA panel has 1.44M pixels within it's 0.47 inch diagonal size, and it is also able to render rich gray scales and natural defocusing through the analog driven liquid crystal technololgy.
