I ask you this, can you think of anything electronic made today, that comes even close to what one sees with the human eye? I know I sure can't! Until that happens I see little sense in chasing something that is a "less then". I suspect a mirror or even a quality prism of some sort will continue to give better optical quality then anything digital can offer. Some of Fuji's digicams have digital viewfinder right now, and it was for that same reason I found them absolutely terrible, before I even get to what kind of image they can produce. I can see the sense of pursuing something that doesn't move and cause vibration etc, but I don't see anything less then a true optical view being acceptable. It's hard enough to manually focus in poor or dim optical viewfinders, doing this in a digital one is most likely going to be much worse.
I'd much rather see the engineers spend their time making optical viewfinders, brighter, larger, and a greater percentage of the actual frame.
