This article has some laymans notes about the science behind Black Silicon.

If it ever comes about - 1µm2 pixels will make a nice image scale
No longer will we need mutiple focal length scopes - just swap CCD's to change your image scale dramatically
Imagine an FSQ106 with 0.39 arc sec per pixel !

A 1µm2 pixel may only have a very limited well depth still - so no dynamic range - who knows - they dont say anything about that.

But there is no product yet - so I will keep dreaming until we see the constraints built into a useful product !
