ePaper Displays

First designed to mimic the appearance of black ink on white paper, these electrophoretic display modules are sometimes referred to as EPD (Electronic Paper Displays), e-ink, electronic ink, or E Ink. This technology is now widely used for e-readers, e ink displays, and ESL (electronic shelf labels).

Power consumption for bistable e-ink display modules is lower than any other display technology, as the image requires refreshing only when content changes. These embedded e-paper display modules are ideal for applications where power is severely constrained. Once the image is shown on the display, it will remain visible using zero power. The high contrast ratio and anti-glare surface make an e-ink display module easy to read in bright sunlight.

Currently, we have sizes ranging from 200x200 resolution with a 1.54" diagonal active area to 640x384 resolution with a 7.5" active area. We have e-ink and e-paper display modules in black & white and monochrome. We even offer a flexible E Ink display!

For a fast start, use our sample code to display your images. Our open-source e-paper demonstration code runs directly on a low-cost Seeeduino v4.2 or Arduino running 3.3v. Browse our complete line of ePaper Development Kits for a head-start in developing with e-ink technology.
