2.9" ePaper Display Module (296x128)

A 2.9" ePaper display module from Waveshare, with a 296x128 resolution, 170° viewing angles and partial refresh support - controlled via SPI.

ePaper displays are designed to replicate the appearance of ink on paper. Unlike regular displays, which lose their image when power is removed, ePaper screens are able to hold text and images indefinitely, even without power. ePaper screens are therefore ultra low power, designed to have a wide viewing angle and additionally have limited reflection under sunlight. The applications are limitless!

These ePaper display modules from Waveshare come complete with an embedded controller PCB, communicating via SPI interface, and support partial refresh.
