A type of LCD technology that utilizes a built-in memory for every pixel in the form of static RAM (SRAM). MIP displays are power efficient because the built-in memory in the pixel obviates the need for the processor to constantly refresh the on-screen image - a pixel will remember to stay as is if change is not necessary even without input from the processor. MIP displays also boast superior readability and clarity of image as they place the reflector layer in the middle while conventional displays place it at the bottom. This eliminates the shadow typically seen in most other displays and allows for a flat image that is much clearer and crisper in sunlight.
