2.15 E-Paper Quad Colour HAT+ for Raspberry Pi (296 x 160)

This 2.15′ e-Paper HAT is a quad-colour display (Red/Yellow/Black/White) with no backlight, and retains the last displayed image for long periods even when powered off, making it very energy-efficient. Power is only needed during refreshes, meaning power consumption is at a minimal level. The display also has a wide 170° viewing angle for clear visibility from different areas of viewing.

It also has a standard Raspberry Pi 40-pin GPIO extension header, making it compatible with Raspberry Pi series boards. The SPI connection allows it to work with other controller boards like Arduino and STM32, while a built-in voltage translator provides compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V MCUs. Included are online development resources and a manual, which makes it easy to get started!

We also have a Tri-Colour version here
