SUMMARY
A rumor indicates Sony is working on a new Field Sequential Colour (FSC)-LCD display technology for its Alpha cameras, expected after Q3 2026. This technology uses 70% less energy than current displays by employing a grayscale liquid crystal display without color filters and an RGB Edge-Mini LED backlight that can switch on and off rapidly. While this significant energy saving in the LCD won't directly translate to an equivalent increase in total shots per charge, it is anticipated to provide a noticeable improvement in overall battery life for future Sony cameras.
