Xpro hybrid viewfinder?

How difficult and costly is it to design and manufacture a hybrid OVF/EVF viewfinder like the one in the Xpro series and x100 series?

I have never seen anything like it in any other camera. Fujifilm seems to be the only company that is interested in this technology. 
Im no mechanical engineer, but it seems like the hybrid evf uses a piezoelectric actuator to raise the lcd screen. I wish camera companies would give us information on how they manufacture their products because I love reading up on technologies like that!
