How does the screen work? It is employing MIP, which stands for memory in pixel. This is a type of LCD panel, but it is not constantly refreshing, like a traditional LCD panel. Basically, it is using transreflective  memory, which means the pixels do not consume any power at all, and only consume power is the individual pixels need to be refreshed. This means it is on par with e-paper.
