RePaper - 2.7 Graphic eInk Development Board [SM027]

The rePaper 2.7" eInk Development Board from Pervasive Displays is a complete development kit for experimenting with graphical e-paper displays. It features a 2.7-inch, 264 × 176 pixel eInk display that is daylight readable, ultra-high contrast, and retains its image for days without power.

The included driver board runs on 3V with built-in level shifting for 5V microcontrollers like Arduino. It includes a temperature sensor, FLASH memory, ZIF socket, and breaks out all signals to a 20-pin header. A 20-pin socket cable and extra-long headers are included for easy wiring to Arduino or breadboard setups.
