A <a href="https://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?CC=JP&NR=2017098728A&KC=A&FT=D&ND=4&date=20170601&DB=EPODOC&locale=en_EP">patent from Canon Japan</a> showing new rear screen designs has appeared, and it looks very interesting. I think a lot of us have always assumed eventually the entire back of a camera would be an LCD/OLED. Beyond just the size of the screen, the patent also covers a new way pivot mecanism for the LCD, you can see the images below.</p>
<p>What’s also interesting is the mode dial appearing from behind the screen when you move it.</p>
<p>A lot of us have called on Canon to put vari-angle LCD’s on professional cameras such as the EOS-1D X series, EOS 5D series and the EOS 7D series, and we’re still waiting. This would definitely be a big leap in a new direction for rear camera screens, but I suspect too big of a leap to see first in a flagship professional camera such as the EOS-1D X Mark III, but it could be introduced in a lower end camera such as the EOS 7D Mark III or a new videoc focused DSLR.</p>
