## Description

E-Ink and ePaper displays are ideal for projects that need a crisp, low-power screen that remains readable in daylight. The image stays on the display even when power is completely disconnected, giving it a printed-paper style look.This bare 4.2 inch diagonal tri-colour display has 400 x 300 pixels and can show red, black and white. It is the display element only, so it needs to be connected to a board with a standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connector.The display uses the SSD1683 chipset, so your firmware needs support for that controller. Adafruit’s Arduino library handles the display for you and lets you work with it as an Adafruit_GFX compatible display.Recommended matching hardware includes the Feather RP2040 ThinkInk for a solderless plug-and-play setup with Arduino or CircuitPython support, the eInk Feather Friend for Feather boards, the eInk Breakout Friend for breadboard use, or a 24-pin eInk/ePaper extension cable with 24-pin FPC adapter for remote mounting.Features:Low power: Suitable for projects where the display does not need constant refreshing.Daylight readable: High contrast display that is easy to view in bright conditions.Image retention: Keeps its image even when power is completely disconnected.Tri-colour output: Supports red, black and white pixels.Bare display element: Designed for DIY eInk setups with a compatible driver board.Arduino support: Adafruit’s Arduino library works with it as an Adafruit_GFX compatible display.Feather RP2040 ThinkInk: Solderless plug-and-play solution with Arduino or CircuitPython support.eInk Feather Friend: FeatherWing add-on for any Feather board.eInk Breakout Friend: Breadboard-friendly adapter with level-shifting and components for quick eInk connectivity.24-pin eInk / ePaper Extension Cable + 24-pin FPC adapter: Lets you place the display away from the driver board.Specifications:Display size: 4.2" diagonalResolution: 400 x 300 pixelsColours: Red, Black, WhitePixels: 400x300 red or black ink pixels and a white-ish backgroundConnector: standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connectorChipset: SSD1683Pixel mixing: each point can be one of the three 'colors' but you can't mix the red and black to make a orangeThis is a good choice for custom ePaper projects, signage, status displays and low-power dashboards where a static image needs to stay visible without continuous power.
