{"title":"Adafruit 2.13in 250x122 Monochrome/4-Grey ePaper Bare Display","handle":"2-13-250x122-monochrome-or-gray-eink-epaper-bare-display","url":"/products/2-13-250x122-monochrome-or-gray-eink-epaper-bare-display","description":"E-Ink and ePaper panels are excellent for low-power projects where you want a daylight-readable display that can hold its image even when power is disconnected. This bare 2.13\" diagonal panel gives you a paper-like, high-contrast readout for labels, badges, status screens, data displays and other static or slow-refresh interfaces.This is the display element only, so it needs to be plugged into a board with a standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connector. Adafruit recommends using it with a compatible ThinkInk or eInk driver board, such as the Feather RP2040 ThinkInk, eInk Feather Friend, eInk Breakout Friend, or a 24-pin eInk/ePaper extension cable with 24-pin FPC adapter.The panel uses the SSD1680Z chipset, so make sure your firmware supports that controller. Adafruit’s Arduino library handles the display driving and lets you use it like an Adafruit_GFX-compatible display.Although it is a monochrome panel, it can be put into a 4-gray mode for two monochromatic shades. This mode is not officially supported by the display, but can be useful with dithering techniques to improve image output.Features:Low-power eInk/ePaper display technologyDaylight visible display surfaceImage remains on the display even when power is completely disconnectedHigh contrast, paper-like appearanceBare display element for DIY eInk setupsCompatible with boards using a standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connectorArduino library support with Adafruit_GFX-compatible interfaceOptional 4-gray mode for two monochromatic shadesSpecifications:Display size: 2.13\" diagonalResolution: 250x122Display type: Monochrome or Gray eInk / ePaper Bare DisplayPixel colour: black ink pixelsBackground: white-ish backgroundConnector: standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connectorChipset: SSD1680ZGrey mode: 4-gray modeGrey shades: two monochromatic shadesChoose this panel if you already have, or plan to add, a suitable ePaper driver board and want a compact bare display for a custom build.","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"ePaper Display","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":15684,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-6383","mpn":"ADA6383","price":20.9,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":8}]}
