This bare eInk/ePaper display element gives you a compact 2.13-inch electronic paper screen with quad-colour output: red, black, yellow and white. Like an e-reader display, it is high contrast, daylight readable, and can keep the last image visible even when power is completely disconnected.

Please note that this is the bare display only. It needs to be plugged into a board with a standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connector. Adafruit recommends using a matching 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 display uses the JD79661 chipset, so make sure your firmware supports it. Adafruit’s Arduino library handles the display driving and lets you use it much like an Adafruit_GFX-compatible display.

Each pixel can be red, black, yellow or white, but colours cannot be overlaid or mixed; for example, red and yellow cannot be combined to make orange.

Features:

Quad-colour display: red, black, yellow and white eInk/ePaper output.
Static image retention: image remains on the display even when power is completely disconnected.
Daylight readable: high contrast display that looks similar to printed paper.
Bare display element: designed for use with a compatible driver board.
Standard connector: plugs into a board with a standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connector.
Library support: Adafruit’s Arduino library lets you interface with it as an Adafruit_GFX-compatible display.
Driver board options: suitable for use with Feather RP2040 ThinkInk, eInk Feather Friend, eInk Breakout Friend, or a 24-pin eInk/ePaper extension cable with 24-pin FPC adapter.

Specifications:

Display size: 2.13"
Resolution: 250x122
Display type: eInk / ePaper bare display
Colours: red, black, yellow and white
Pixel colours: 250x122 black, red and yellow ink pixels with a white-ish background
Connector: standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connector
Chipset: JD79661

Ideal for low-power signage, labels, status displays and daylight-readable maker projects where a persistent image is useful.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

breakout: A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
ePaper: A display technology that looks more like printed paper than a glowing screen and usually keeps its image visible with very little power. It matters for projects such as labels, badges, and status screens where readability and low power use are more important than fast animation.
FPC: FPC stands for flexible printed circuit, a thin flat flexible cable or connector style often used where space is tight or some movement is needed, commonly for displays, cameras and other high-density connections. Connecting to an FPC connector generally needs a matching cable with the correct pin count, pitch and contact orientation.
RP2040: The RP2040 is a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller chip from Raspberry Pi, used on many maker boards and offering programmable I/O, multiple GPIO pins and reasonable processing speed. Code and accessories built for that chip should work where RP2040 compatibility is listed, though demanding tasks such as reading a camera can require careful pin allocation and timing.
