The 2.9" Flexible eInk Display is a monochrome (black and white) e-paper panel with 296×128 resolution. Once an image is displayed, it remains visible even with all power removed — delivering high-contrast, daylight-readable output that looks like printed paper.
The flexible construction allows the display to be curved or mounted on non-flat surfaces, such as a stiff bracelet for a watch project. It uses the UC8151D driver chipset and is compatible with Adafruit's CircuitPython and Arduino libraries via the Adafruit_GFX interface. An eInk Breakout Friend is required to drive this display.
