## Description

E-Ink and ePaper panels are ideal for low-power projects where the image needs to stay visible without continuous power. This bare 4.2 inch display has a paper-like, high-contrast look that remains readable in daylight and keeps its image even when power is disconnected.This is the display element only, with a standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connector. It is designed to be used with a suitable driver board such as the Feather RP2040 ThinkInk, eInk Feather Friend, eInk Breakout Friend, or a 24-pin eInk/ePaper extension cable and FPC adapter.The panel uses the SSD1683 chipset and provides 400 x 300 black ink pixels on a white-ish background. Adafruit’s Arduino library handles the display driving and lets you use it like an Adafruit_GFX compatible display. The Feather RP2040 ThinkInk option also supports Arduino or CircuitPython.A 4-grey mode can provide two extra monochromatic shades, although it is not officially supported by the display and may need dithering for best results.Specifications:Display size: 4.2" diagonalDisplay type: Monochrome or 4-level Grayscale eInk / ePaper Bare DisplayResolution: 400 x 300 pixelsConnector: Standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connectorPixel colour: Black ink pixelsBackground: White-ish backgroundChipset: SSD1683Technical Details: DatasheetChoose this panel when you want to build a custom ePaper project and already have, or plan to add, a compatible 24-pin eInk driver board.
