well about that first viewfinder mentioned, I doubt you can do anything
in the way of text, most of those things cannot even come close to what
it takes for clear and defined text, but you could hack yourself a fairly
compact and low cost "nightvision" setup, depending on the camera you
get, and the IR LEDs you choose to use as a light source
I understand that Sony used some of microoptical's microdisplays at one
point -- I'm hoping I got lucky! I did try a search with some of the
numbers...got a lovely PDF, in japanese, that I think is the pinouts for
the driver chip.
So...how does one go about generating RGB signals? I have the standard
stuff available to me -- PCs with VGA, satellite with composite NTSC and
video out...that type of thing.

The problem with that is that the last suggestion was to hook it up
through the camcorder, and trace the pins that way. Wonderful ideas,
except that I don't have the camcorder -- or at least not all of it.
These are salvaged parts...half a camcorder shell and 1 board...that type
of thing.
