Description
This is a 2.13" diagonal 250x122 Monochrome or Gray eInk / ePaper Bare Display featuring the SSD1680Z chipset. E-Ink displays are low-power and daylight visible, retaining their image even when powered off, making them ideal for various DIY projects.
Chances are you've seen e-readers like Kindle or Nook that use similar electronic paper displays with high contrast, daylight readable images. This is the bare display element, which requires connection to a compatible driver board with a 24-pin FPC e-paper connector.
Recommended compatible driver boards:
- Feather RP2040 ThinkInk - solderless plug-and-play solution with Arduino or CircuitPython support.
- eInk Feather Friend - FeatherWing add-on for any Feather board.
- eInk Breakout Friend - breadboard-friendly adapter with level shifting and components for eInk connectivity.
- 24-pin eInk / ePaper Extension Cable and 24-pin FPC adapter to extend and provide flexible placement.
This display supports a '4-gray' mode, allowing two monochromatic shades, although this mode is not officially supported. For best results, check the dithering guide.
