Description
The Adafruit 2.66" 296x152 Tri-Color Red/Black/White E-Ink Bare Display features a high-contrast electronic paper display with red, black, and white pixels. It uses the SSD1680Z chipset and offers low power consumption, daylight visibility, and image retention even when powered down.
Important: This is a bare display element requiring a compatible driver board with a 24-pin FPC e-paper connector. Recommended driver boards include:
- Feather RP2040 ThinkInk - solderless, plug-and-play with Arduino/CircuitPython support.
- eInk Feather Friend - FeatherWing add-on for Feather boards.
- eInk Breakout Friend - breadboard-friendly adapter with level shifting.
- 24-pin eInk/ePaper Extension Cable and 24-pin FPC adapter for flexible placement.
The display supports 296x152 pixel resolution for red or black inks on a white background. Each pixel can be one of three colors (red, black, or white) but colors cannot be mixed per pixel. The Arduino library by Adafruit enables easy integration with Adafruit_GFX compatible code.
