Correction: There is no MP Crystal Display on the new GMW-BZ5000! It is called MIP Display, for memory in pixel display.
Memory-in-Pixel (MIP) display technology is a type of reflective LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) designed for ultra-low power consumption and high readability, especially in bright environments like sunlight. Unlike traditional LCDs or AMOLED displays, MIP displays integrate a small amount of memory (typically 1-bit SRAM) into each pixel, allowing the display to retain static images without constant refreshing.
Reflective Technology: MIP displays use ambient light (e.g., sunlight) to illuminate the screen, making them highly readable outdoors without a backlight. Some models include a front light for low-light conditions, but this is optional and still energy-efficient.
