The display shows crisp black pixels on a grey background, giving a pleasant e-reader appearance that's excellent in daylight.\n\nThe bare display is mounted on a breakout board with a 3 V regulator and level shifting, making it compatible with both 3 V and 5 V power and logic. Communication requires only 3 SPI pins (write-only), but the entire 168×144 pixel framebuffer (~3 KB) must be stored in the microcontroller's RAM.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n1.3\" 168×144 Monochrome Display – Black-on-grey, e-reader style appearance\n\nUltra-Low Power – E-paper-like power consumption with LCD-like refresh speed\n\nDaylight Readable – No backlight, but highly visible in ambient light\n\nSPI Interface – Write-only, requires only 3 data pins\n\n3 V / 5 V Compatible – Onboard regulator and level shifting\n\nZIF Socket Mounting – Display connects via ZIF socket with double-sided tape adhesion\n\n4 Mounting Holes – Easy to attach to enclosures\n\n\n\nImportant: This display requires approximately 3 KB of RAM for the framebuffer. It is not compatible with ATmega328 (Arduino UNO) or ATmega32u4 (Feather 32u4) boards due to insufficient RAM. Use a higher-RAM board such as ATSAMD21 (Feather M0), ESP8266, ESP32, or similar.\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nLow-power status displays and dashboards\nOutdoor-readable information panels\nBattery-powered wearable displays\nE-reader style interfaces\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× SHARP Memory Display Breakout (1.3\" 168×144, fully assembled)\n\n\n\nNote: This display does not have a backlight. For dark environments, external LED illumination is needed.\n\n\nResources\n\nAdafruit SHARP Memory Display Guide\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":14216,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-3502","price":52.23,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
