In my own tests with a 1.3" MIP display, I measured just 3.4 mA during refresh. Given how infrequently refresh is needed, this means it can consume up to 10,000× less energy than AMOLED!😮

I selected a Sharp 1.3" Memory-in-Pixel display. The choice was limited - there aren’t many companies manufacturing such screens.

Currently designing new fonts for a Sharp memory display driver I previously developed, optimised for use with the RP Pico SDK.

I've isolated the Sharp Memory display driver from my project and shared it on GitHub. Feel free to use or contribute to the code:

The Memory-in-Pixel LCD Device: Great on Paper, but is it Practical?

The proliferation of electronic gadgets is a major environmental issue in the modern world, but few people really stop to think about it. The latest “memory-in-pixel lcd device” is a perfect example of this trend. On paper, the device looks great: it has a much better refresh rate and power consumption than e-paper devices, and its low power consumption makes it theoretically capable of running on battery power for weeks. However, when you take a closer look at the design of the device, some major flaws become apparent.
