Rear View LCD?

pctainto asks: "I'm doing some work designing a solar car for a certain unnamed university. We are contemplating installing a camera and LCD system to replace the rear view mirror, since it is hard to turn one's head in the car and it would make designing the cockpit much easier. Does anyone know of a camera/LCD system that would be relatively simple and would be able to survive for a few hours without needing a new battery? We need something with relatively high resolution, so, something like an x10 camera wouldn't work very well. (You have to be able to identify letters that are 20 cm high from a distance of 15 m)"

    I'm doing some work designing a solar car for a certain unnamed university.

    I've eliminated MIT and U of A as this unnamed university.
