OpenLayers displays rendered raster images, but doesn't render them
itself. I recommend investigating MapServer's support for rendering ECW
rasters using its GDAL support.

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data

http://www.gdal.org/frmt_ecw.html

Note that you will need ERMapper's SDK libraries in order to compile
GDAL to read your imagery.
