## Description

E-Ink and E-Paper displays are ideal when you need a low-power screen that stays readable in daylight and keeps showing its image even after power is removed. This bare 5.83" monochrome panel gives you a paper-like black-on-white display for custom projects, dashboards, labels and other static information displays.Please note that this is the bare display element only. It needs to be plugged into a board with a standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connector, such as a Feather RP2040 ThinkInk, eInk Feather Friend, eInk Breakout Friend, or a suitable 24-pin eInk/ePaper extension cable and FPC adapter setup.The panel uses the UC8179 chipset, so make sure your firmware supports it. Adafruit’s Arduino library handles the display driving and lets you work with it like an Adafruit_GFX compatible display.Features:Low-power display: image remains visible even when power is completely disconnectedDaylight readable: high-contrast display that looks similar to printed paperBare display format: suitable for DIY eInk setups with a compatible driver boardArduino support: works with Adafruit’s Arduino library as an Adafruit_GFX compatible displayDithering friendly: can produce nice-looking graphics despite using monochrome pixelsSpecifications:Display size: 5.83"Resolution: 648x480Display type: Monochrome Black/White EPD - Bare DisplayPixel colour: black ink pixelsBackground colour: white-ish backgroundConnector: standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connectorChipset: UC8179Use it with a matching eInk driver board or adapter when you need a larger monochrome display for low-power maker projects.

**Product Type:** E-Paper Display
