The Waveshare PhotoPainter (B) is a 7.3" full-colour e-paper display housed in an elegant solid wood frame. Using E Ink Spectra 6 (E6) technology with six primary colours and advanced dithering, it renders photos and digital content with vivid colour saturation and high contrast — all without the blue light of traditional screens.
Powered by an RP2350A dual-core processor with 16 MB NOR-Flash, the display is fully programmable for custom content such as calendars, quotes, artwork, or photo slideshows. An optional lithium battery provides thousands of image refreshes on a single charge.
