Memory-in-pixel technology reduces LCD power consumption
Kyocera is presenting MIP Technology (Memory in Pixel) as a way to lower power LCDs.

As well as low power consumption, the displays have excellent image quality, claims Kyocera, and fast switching times.
The technology allows new applications, like smart watches, healthcare devices, sub displays of DSLR or IC recorders.
With wide viewing angle, high contrast and the avoidance of parallax shadows an excellent visibility and readability is said to be achieved.
Compared to conventional displays the reflection layer is integrated inside. Therefore, the light must only pass a polariser twice. This is an advantage for readability at bright sunlight and outdoor usage.

Anxo Components is thrilled to announce our exciting new partnership with Circuit Assembly, a leading provider of high-quality connectors and cable assemblies. Starting on January 1st, 2023, Anxo Components will serve as the exclusive sales representative for Circuit Assembly in Mexico, bringing their top-of-the-line products to a wider audience.
Kyocera unveiled its HAPTIVITY®i human-machine interface (HMI) technology — a hybrid innovation combining its patented HAPTIVITY® touch technology with IMSETM, a patented 3D injection-molded structural electronics technology from TactoTek Oy. The result lets designers create HMI solutions in a vast range of 3D shapes, with thinner form factors, fewer components, improved vibration resistance, and significantly reduced weight. Additionally, because they are fully integrated and seamless, HAPTIVITY®i solutions offer an interface that is reliable, durable, protected from debris and moisture, and easy to clean.
Kyocera’s latest developments for creating a safe and comfortable mobility society include its “3D Augmented Reality Head-up Display,” which supports driver safety and comfort — as well as Kyocera’s patented HAPTIVITY ®* touchscreen display technology, which simulates a variety of realistic tactile sensations to revolutionize the human-machine interface.
Kyocera has launched the latest MIP Technology (Memory in Pixel) for a new solution for LCDs on the market. The Japanese ceramic expert combines three essential factors: The displays are outstanding with low power consumption, high image quality and fast switching times. The technology allows new applications, like smart watches, healthcare devices, sub displays of DSLR or IC recorders. To expand the battery lifetime all pixels include a SRAM memory. This results in a low power consumption for static image down to 5µW. By the power saving pixel selection method, only the selected pixel were driven. Which is different to the line selection method.
Samsung Display has decided to push back the deadline for withdrawing from the LCD panel market, bringing in more uncertainties to the supply and price outlook for the coming year. Samsung Display's decision comes as fellow company LG Display decided in October to delay by one year to the end of 2021 the planned closure of its LCD TV panel production lines amid rising panel demand and prices in the wake of the pandemic.
Anticipating continued advances in autonomous driving and Mobility as a Service (MaaS), Kyocera focused on the importance of the car’s interior space to develop a futuristic cockpit that offers fresh innovations in a completely original vehicle design. Through a collaboration with Prof. Masahiko Inami from University of Tokyo’s Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, Kyocera applied the unique optical camouflage technology to widen the passenger’s field of vision by making part of the cockpit functionally transparent. In addition, the Moeye concept is equipped with Kyocera’s latest technologies to enhance both safety and comfort, two key automotive design priorities.
Trade wars and technological blockades have seen the US and China go head-to-head. Now that China is looking towards becoming self-sufficient, it needs to be able to produce its own advanced semiconductors that can rival those of the west.
