With a randomly accessed stored bit per pixel cell structure, you address pixels individually, refreshing only those pixels which need to be changed thereby reducing power requirements.The extremely low power LCD cell structure design makes these displays excellent candidates for battery powered applications, such as wearable medical devices, wearable sports gear, Internet-of-Things products and other portable applications.

The first thing that jumps out: the Casio’s “MIP” display. Whereas a normal LCD depends entirely on a backlight and pixels (that refresh themselves every minute or so), a Memory In Pixel display includes an optical layer that reflects and transmits light to brighten the screen.

In bright light, it’s perfectly legible. In low light, it’s perfectly legible. The GBX-100’s transflective layer (transmissive + reflective) allows illumination from a backlight to light up the display.

How much better is MIP than its Casio competition? Check out the above comparo of Casio’s negative LCD displays. Left to right: STN (Super-Twisted Nematic), MIP (Memory In Pixel) and traditional LCD.

The Tide and Moon Phase calculator is presented in three different display modes. The Tide calculator is available in a 12-hour or a 24-hour graph format. The tide display includes the moon phase and sunrise/sunset times in a smaller font. There’s also a dedicated moon phase display that includes sunrise and sunset times.

February 19, 2015 (Tokyo, Japan): Japan Display Inc. (JDI), a leading global supplier of small- and medium-sized displays, has announced the start of sales of a standard line-up of memory-in-pixel (MIP) reflective-type color LCD modules for wristwatch-type wearable devices which realize ultra-low power consumption. Power consumption of these reflective-type LCD modules is less than 0.5%*1 that of transparent-type LCD modules. Samples will be available in March 2015 and the start of sales will be in July 2015.

Low power consumption is a key factor for wearable devices, to provide long battery life. Since the new reflective-type modules display images by reflecting light, they do not require a backlight, which typically contributes up to approximately 80%*1 of the total power consumption of an LCD module. Furthermore, since the MIP structure has a static random access memory transistor fabricated in each sub-pixel, in the case of still screen images, once the data is written it is held, resulting in ultra-low power consumption. In addition, the optimized optical design contributes to bright and crisp reflective-type color images, especially under bright sunlight conditions.

JDI has produced and sold reflective-type color LCD modules for wristwatch-type wearable devices since January 2014. Now, JDI’s intention is to widen the business of reflective-type color LCD modules for wearable devices by offering a new line-up of standard products. The standard line-up will help to minimize the workload of product development and shorten the time period for product release. JDI is also planning to offer an additional line-up of standard reflective-type color LCD modules, not only for wearable devices but also for industrial applications, to meet the wide range of market needs for displays with ultra-low power consumption.

Japan Display Inc. (JDI) is the leading global manufacturer of small- and medium-sized display panels and has the world"s largest manufacturing capacity for LTPS LCD panels. JDI develops, designs and manufactures displays that provide high resolution, low power consumption and an ultra thin structure for application in smartphones, tablets, automotive electronics, digital cameras, medical equipment and other electronic devices. The company"s major customers include leading consumer electronics manufacturers and other well-known global companies. JDI was formed through the consolidation of the display panel businesses of Sony, Hitachi and Toshiba and commenced operations on April 1, 2012.

Memory In Pixel (MIP) function is equipped in the color reflective LCD. These LCD modules are suitable for a wide variety of IoT products and application, including outdoor sports gears, medical & healthcare devices, remote controllers, and portable devices. JDI"s Low power consumption technology contributes to long battery drive devices.

JDI carries out development relating to not only improvement of display performance with higher resolution and higher picture quality, but also to reflective-type color displays for realization of ultra-low power consumption.

JDI"s reflective-type display optimizes its optical design by using a newly-developed scattering layer. At the same time, ultra-low power consumption is achieved when still images are displayed by adopting a memory-in-pixel structure using low temperature poly-silicon technology. This technology supports development of new applications like smart watches and e-readers.

One most outstanding characteristic of reflective-type LCD is its readability under strong ambient light. LCD can be read clearly by the reflection of ambient light without backlight unit (see Picture 1). However, in order to increase its application versatility with color display, readability drops after applying color filter above the reflective layer. The total brightness will reduce by around 70%.

To improve brightness, JDI uses optical light control technologies to optimize viewing angle for specific screen sizes. When light goes into LCD, the light control technologies help to efficiently reflect more light, resulting in wider viewing angle.

JDI MIP reflective-type color displays bring memory LCD to a colorful world. 8 colors display enable customer to do more design for information demonstration, see Picture 2. With new circuit technology, LCD can be more compact for variety of applications than before. Power consumption is also lower than current solution in the market. Our 1.28”, 2.7”, and 4.4” LCD have market trend’s simple interface which allow easy customer evaluation. In future Eco and IoT world, Reflective-type color display is expected to play an important role for its ultra-low power consumption characteristic.

(Since reflective-type LCD is expressed by 8 gradations, in the case of images expressed with more gradations than 8 gradations, it is preferable to perform area gradation display by digital filter (error diffusion processing etc.) processing.)

In JDI reflective-type color display, there’s a memory in each pixel which can store image without continuous signal input. In this case, controller in customer’s system can be in sleep mode or totally off to achieve ultra-low power consumption (around 1-5μA for still image for 2.7” panel). As shown in Figure 1, in comparison with transmissive LCD, to use reflective-type LCD can save 80% of power due to no backlight is needed; Additionally, this technology can save 19% more power during displaying still image. If partial screen data updates is needed, end user can choose multiple line update or single line update to refresh display instead of re-writing the whole screen.

More and more device makers are using Memory-in-Pixel (MIP) displays with Reflective LCDs. The low-power and sunlight-readability advantages are creating very compelling arguments not just in medical and industrial markets, but consumer electronics as well. The pixel resolution of RLCD displays has risen exponentially, and that’s probably why even the consumer markets are paying attention. Whether you’re making a very simple display or something that packs more wow into the viewing experience, the future is pointing to low power and fewer parts, and so MIP has moved into more conversations.

As previously mentioned, a lot of the applications we see for MIP are in medical and industrial devices, but also some exciting new handhelds and wearables for adventurists like mountain climbers, kayakers and competitive anglers who need longer battery life. People who are outdoors want every advantage battling the elements. People who love the great outdoors also love technology, as long as it has clear utility. A device that can hold a charge for a week and gives them reliable weather data is very appealing. And we know that consumers tend to gravitate towards technical industrial-strength products that move to a commercial application. Think of brands like Jeep, Canada Goose or North Face. Their products have an appeal because of their bona fide rugged utility. For example, Canada Goose parkas were standard issue for scientists working in Antarctica where they were up against extreme conditions, but now you see the coats on the streets of Chicago worn by stylish office workers on their commutes home. Many consumers like premium products that have authenticity and utility over flashiness. And this mentality could transfer neatly into technology and devices. The opportunities are endless.

MIP has been around for a little while but as IoT, wearables and more interest in power efficiency bubble up, the demand for technology to support these new form factors has grown. Many manufacturers are replacing old passive or active matrix LCD technologies that they probably should have sunsetted years ago. With MIP every pixel in the display has memory or can recall information so energy doesn’t have to be transmitted to it when it needs to turn on. This saves power and it can also add to the device’s durability (less wires and parts to break).

It’s another step away from the rigid backlights we’ve used for decades now to illuminate our LCD screens. At Azumo we welcome the change and enjoy watching the incremental move towards power-efficiency and sunlight-readability. When device makers are ready to get in front of it all, we’ll be here for them.
