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
Also Available
- 2.13" Monochrome eInk Bonnet – For Raspberry Pi

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny 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 connector contacts on a fixed pitch (commonly 2.54 mm) used to link a board to a breadboard, jumper wires, or another board. They come as male pin headers and female socket headers; when a module ships with pre-soldered headers it can be used straight away, whereas bare pads require soldering 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 single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- RAM
- RAM (random-access memory) is fast, temporary memory a device uses for working data while it is running; in its common volatile form, its contents are lost when power is removed. Some devices offer a mode that applies settings to RAM only, which is handy for testing changes temporarily because they are not stored permanently and disappear at power-off.
- 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.
