Add a crisp, paper-like display to your Feather project with the Adafruit 2.13" Monochrome eInk FeatherWing. This 250×122 pixel black-and-white eInk panel delivers excellent daylight readability and retains its image even with power completely disconnected — just like printed paper.
The FeatherWing is tested to work with all Adafruit Feather boards, from the ESP8266 to the M0 and beyond. An onboard SRAM chip handles frame buffering so even memory-constrained microcontrollers like the ATmega32u4 and ATmega328 can drive the display without sacrificing precious RAM. A MicroSD socket lets you store images and text files for display.
Key Features
- 2.13" Monochrome eInk Display – 250×122 pixel resolution, black on white
- Onboard SRAM – Offloads frame buffering from the microcontroller (only ~7.6 KB needed)
- MicroSD Socket – Store images, text files, and display assets
- Fast Refresh – Updates in just a couple of seconds (compared to ~15 seconds for tri-colour eInk)
- Ultra-Low Power – Display retains image with no power draw
- No Soldering Required – Comes with socket headers; plug your Feather straight in
- Universal Feather Compatibility – Works with all Adafruit Feather boards

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
- FeatherWing
- A FeatherWing is an add-on board made to plug into the Feather microcontroller board layout. Knowing a product is a FeatherWing helps you check whether it will physically and electrically fit your Feather-style mainboard.
- Headers
- Rows of metal pins used to plug a module into a breadboard or connect it with jumper wires. Pre-soldered headers make the module easier to use straight away without needing to solder the pins yourself.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- 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.
- RAM
- RAM is temporary memory used while a device is running, and its contents are lost when power is removed. A “Run in RAM” mode is useful for testing settings without permanently programming the module, but it may not support every feature.
- 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.
- SRAM
- Fast temporary memory used by a processor while a program is running. More SRAM helps with projects that handle larger data buffers, networking, displays, or more complex code.
