264x176 2.7inch Black/White E-Ink Display Raspberry Pi HAT

This Waveshare E-Ink / e-paper display as a HAT has 2.7 inches, 264 × 176 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. A full image update takes 6 seconds, mounting screws for the Raspberry Pi are included.

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
• 4 buttons on the board (KEY1 to KEY4)

Application Examples:

• Price tags and labels
• Battery-powered displays for measured values and weather data
• Status displays that change rarely
