A 13.3-inch e-Paper display HAT for the Raspberry Pi, featuring a 960×680 resolution black and white panel with over 170° viewing angle. The e-ink technology requires no backlight — it reflects ambient light like printed paper and retains the displayed image even when powered off, consuming energy only during screen refreshes.
The HAT connects via the standard Raspberry Pi 40-pin GPIO header and communicates over SPI. An onboard voltage translator ensures compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers, making it usable with Arduino, STM32, and Jetson Nano as well.
Key Features
- 13.3" E-Ink Display – 960×680 resolution, black and white, 2 grey levels
- Ultra-Low Power – Only draws power during refresh; retains image indefinitely when off
- Wide Viewing Angle – Over 170° for readability from almost any direction
- Raspberry Pi HAT – Standard 40-pin GPIO header, plug-and-play with Pi series boards
- SPI Interface – Also compatible with Jetson Nano, Arduino, and STM32
- 3.3V/5V Compatible – Onboard voltage translator for flexible MCU integration
- Fast Partial Refresh – Approximately 0.3 seconds for partial updates
Ideal For
- Digital signage, price tags, and shelf labels
- Conference room name plates and schedules
- Industrial instrument displays
- Low-power information displays
Also Available
- 13.3" E-Ink Raw Display (without driver board) – Panel only, for custom integrations
Package Contents
- 1× 13.3" e-Paper Display (K)
- 1× e-Paper Driver HAT
- 1× RPi Screws Pack (2 pcs)
- 1× GH1.25 9-Pin Cable (~20cm)
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- SPI
- A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
- STM32
- STM32 is a family of microcontroller chips commonly used in embedded electronics. Knowing a product uses an STM32 can help when looking at firmware updates, pin connections, or low-level serial control options.
