The Waveshare 10.2" e-Paper Display (G) is a large-format E-Ink screen with 960×640 resolution and quad-colour output — black, white, red, and yellow. Like real paper, it requires no backlight and retains its last displayed image without any power draw, making it ideal for signage and low-power applications.
The display communicates via 3-wire or 4-wire SPI and is compatible with Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, Arduino, STM32, and other microcontrollers. An optional driver HAT (selectable at purchase) adds onboard voltage translation for seamless 3.3V/5V operation.
Key Features
- 10.2" E-Ink Panel – 960×640 resolution with 0.2245×0.2245mm dot pitch for crisp, detailed output
- Quad-Colour Display – Black, white, red, and yellow for versatile visual designs
- Paper-Like Viewing – No backlight required; comfortable reading under ambient light with >170° viewing angle
- Ultra-Low Power – Retains displayed content without electricity; standby current below 0.01μA
- 27-Second Full Refresh – Complete screen update in 27 seconds with less than 100mW refresh power
- SPI Interface – 3-wire and 4-wire SPI for broad microcontroller compatibility
- Voltage Translation – Driver board supports both 3.3V and 5V logic levels
- 2-Level Greyscale – Per-colour greyscale capability

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 3.3V and 5V logic levels
- Logic level refers to the voltage a board uses to represent digital on and off signals. Support for both 3.3V and 5V logic means this breakout can connect more easily to common microcontrollers and single-board computers without extra level-shifting hardware.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- SPI
- A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
- STM32
- STM32 is a family of microcontroller chips commonly used in embedded electronics. Knowing a product uses an STM32 can help when looking at firmware updates, pin connections, or low-level serial control options.
