A large 10.3" flexible e-ink display HAT for Raspberry Pi, featuring 1872×1404 resolution (~227 DPI) with 2–16 greyscale levels. The flexible panel is thinner and lighter than standard e-Paper displays, and the IT8951 embedded controller enables fast full-page refreshes in under one second with support for partial refresh.
Connects directly to the Raspberry Pi via the standard 40-pin GPIO header, with additional USB, SPI, and I80 interfaces for use with other host boards such as STM32 Nucleo. Like all e-ink displays, it retains the last displayed content indefinitely without power, drawing energy only during refresh.
Key Features
- 10.3" Flexible E-Ink Panel – Thinner and lighter than rigid e-Paper displays

- Ultra-Low Power – 1.2 W typical during refresh, 0.1 W standby; retains display without power
- Wide Viewing Angle – >170° for clear visibility from almost any direction
- Multiple Interfaces – USB, SPI, and I80 for flexible host connectivity

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- 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.
- 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.
