Looking again at the drawing of this new system, I think that I was wrong. This system will not use an OVF, but an EVF.
Why? Because the ray trance didn't show the light going upward, but to the upper left corner, where is a device linked to the lens, probably the AF controller. Same thing is said in the description. So, the mirror transmit a part of the light to the AF system, and the rest to the sensor, when the mirror is on 50-50%. And the sensor can transmit the image to the EVF. Of course, this is just my assumption, and I can be wrong again. But if I'm right, that seems that this mirror can aloud continue AF tracking in video, because the pixels in the sensor can be interpolated to create an image even with only 50% of the light.
When camera is set to take stills, the mirror change very quickly from 50-50 to 100% transmission, after the AF is done.
Of course, time will tell.
On the other hand, there were patents which have not entered into production.
