For people's reference, I think this is the url:

Sony Miniature Color LCD Display (LCX005BKB) $29.00
            1.4 CM (0.55 inch)Diagonal Full Color Display 
            Built in horizontal and vertical drivers 
            Delta Dot Pattern for High Picture Quality 
            537 dots (H) x 222 dots (V) 
            Compatiable with NTSC & PAL format and Sync Inputs 
            12 VDC Operation with -1 to +17 V RGB Signal and Driver Input Voltage
            Excellent display for virtual reality projects 
            Viewfinder and Miniature Test Equipment Displays 
            Pin Outs and Specifications Included 
            Unit requires a clock, Synchronization and Video 

That's not bad, really!  Downright cheap!  The hard part is finding an
affordable vga->ntsc converter. HOWEVER, this thing claims to have rgb
signal inputs, and I remember seeing some hack documents around that
lets you cheat and use a vga signal directly in.  However, I think that
required a special video card that could output the right type of sync,
and most wearable display boards don't do that.  Hm.
