It looks similar to the Sony Touch Engine from 2003? where they also used piezo actuators. The sony stuff used smaller displacement, they found that the movement speed was more important then the distance.
The actuators was placed where the "keypad keys" appeared on the screen. With the Sony stuff you could not create a tactile button wherever you wanted on the screen. Maybe this has changed with the Nokia haptikos?
