This 7.5" tri-colour e-ink bare display features 800×480 pixels in red, black, and white. E-paper displays are daylight-readable, ultra-low power, and retain their image even when completely depowered — ideal for battery-powered and always-on signage applications.
This is the bare display element with a standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connector. A compatible driver board is required (sold separately) to interface it with your microcontroller or development board. The display uses the UC8179 chipset.

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- ePaper
- A display technology that looks more like printed paper than a glowing screen and usually keeps its image visible with very little power. It matters for projects such as labels, badges, and status screens where readability and low power use are more important than fast animation.
- FPC
- FPC stands for flexible printed circuit, a flat flexible cable or connector style often used where space is tight. It matters because this breakout needs the correct pin count and pitch FPC cable to connect reliably to the display or high-speed interface.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
