250x122 2.13inch Black / White E-Ink Display Raspberry Pi HAT

This Waveshare E-Ink / e-paper display as a HAT has 2.13 inches, 250 × 122 pixels and an integrated controller that communicates via SPI. Thanks to its extremely low power consumption it is suitable for battery-powered applications. Such displays are also used as price tags in retail, where they run for several years on one battery. It has the same dimensions as a Raspberry Pi Zero and also fits on 2B or 3B. Partial areas are updated in 0.3 s, the whole display in 2 s.

Recommended Accessories:

• Raspberry Pi Zero WH
• Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
• Pin Header Male 2 X 40 Pin RM 2.54mm Straight Short Pin

Features:

• Level converter on the board, therefore compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers
• The image remains visible without power supply
• Power is basically only needed for refreshing
• Viewing angle over 170°, easy to read even in sunlight
• SPI interface for Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ESP8266 or ESP32
• Example code from Waveshare for Arduino, STM32 and Raspberry Pi
• For the 40-pin GPIO header of the Raspberry Pi, for example 2B, 3B, Zero, Zero W
• Version V3 according to the sticker on the product image, choose the demo code that matches the version

Application Examples:

• Price tags and labels
• Battery-powered displays for measured values and weather data
