2.7” Triple-Color E-Ink Shield for Arduino

E-Ink screen also known as E-paper screen, we have released several E-Ink screens of various sizes, including grove E-Ink module, raspberry pi E-Ink hat. Now we introduce you to the new member of the Seeed E-Ink family — the 2.7” Triple-Color E-Ink Display for Arduino.

 

The 2.7” Triple-Color E-Ink Display is an Arduino E-Ink display shield, which contains 264×176 pixels, and can display white/black/red for each pixel. This shield communicates with Arduino via the SPI interface and it reserves a Grove I2C interface for use with other modules. With the help of a comparison circuit, the module achieves self-adaption of the 3.3V and 5V voltage system.

 

Compared to traditional LCD displays, E-Ink eliminates the need for backlighting and therefore power consumption is ultra low. And the E-Ink has an extremely wide viewing angle with very high contrast so that it even can be clearly displayed in direct sunlight. On top of that, the E-Ink can display user-set images for a long time(For weeks or even months) without any power supply. What an amazing display!
