Product Details
This e - ink display HAT is a game - changer for your Raspberry Pi and other boards. It has no backlight, which means it can keep showing the last content for ages even after powering down. With ultra - low power consumption, it only needs power when refreshing. It features a standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, supporting Raspberry Pi series boards and Jetson Nano. The SPI interface allows easy connection to various controller boards like Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, Arduino, and STM32. The onboard voltage translator makes it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V MCUs. You'll also get online development resources and a manual with examples for multiple platforms. Specifications include an operating voltage of 3.3V/5V, 4 - level grey scale, 3 - wire or 4 - wire SPI interface, a partial refresh time of 0.7s, and a full refresh time of 5s. It has a display size of 275.52 × 195.16mm, a resolution of 960 × 680 pixels, and can display black and white. The viewing angle is over 170°. Using microcapsule electrophoretic technology, it can clearly show images and texts under light without a backlight, just like traditional printed paper.
Using this e - ink display is quite simple. First, connect it to your Raspberry Pi or other supported boards via the SPI interface. Make sure the voltage is set correctly according to your board's requirements. When you start using it, you can use the provided online development resources and manual to get started with programming and displaying content. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean environment. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods as it may affect the display quality. Since it has very low power consumption, you don't need to worry much about power usage. But when refreshing the content, it consumes more power, so plan your operations accordingly. If you encounter any problems, refer to the examples in the manual for Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, Arduino, or STM32 for solutions.
