So it's a Sharp MIP scaled up? https://sharpdevices.com/memory-lcd/

Sharp MIP makes every pixel an SRAM bit: near-zero current and no refresh necessary. The full color moral equivalent of Sharp MIP would be 3 DACs per pixel. TFT (à la LG Oxide) is closer to DRAM, except the charge level isn't just high/low.

So, no, there is a meaningful difference in the nature of the circuits.
