Description of ๐Ÿ“บ Tri-Color E-Ink Display Module: 2.13inch Three-Color Electronic Screen Panel with Embedded Controller - Ideal for Raspberry Pi/Arduino/STM32/Jetson Nano

No backlight, keeps displaying last content for a long time even when power down. Ultra low power consumption, basically power is only required for refreshing; Onboard voltage translator, compatible with 3.3V/5V MCUs. Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, supports Raspberry Pi series boards, Jetson Nano. Preserved solder pads for SPI interface, for connecting with other controller boards like Arduino/Nucleo, etc

Hardware OK, software and manual missing

The hardware is excellent as far as I can tell. 4.5 stars. The update is slow, but find me a low-cost e-paper hardware supplier out of stock. The display is really sharp, keeps the picture, there are no dead pixels (although the first device that was delivered to me was dead on arrival), I like it a lot. Software provided specifically for Raspberry Pi/Python is missing. Some of the libraries mentioned in the documentation are out of date, and the Python 3 folder simply contains a copy of theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • No backlight, shows the latest content for a long time even when the device is off
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Ideal for technical hobby projects.

The refresh rate is a little slow so there are times I get ghosting, but it can take some wear and tear. I don't fully exploit the complementary color. So unless you have any real practical use, use the pure black and white version. Came well packaged with installation instructions and some support to install the raspberry pi. Since the display is more or less free-floating and there is a risk of scratching the circuit board, I recommend adding some bumpers to its edges. All at a great price.

Pros
  • Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO expansion connector, supports Raspberry Pi series boards, Jetson Nano
Cons
  • Low maintainability

Good indication for correct project and microcontroller

I use this with Arduino IDE and ESP8266 / Adafruit HUZZAH and found a library with the code I needed, it was pretty easy to set up for my project, and the performance Very low consumption even when upgraded. It takes a few seconds to update - if you need a faster update you can skip the three-color panels. Additionally, you need a device or board with enough memory to upgrade your display.

Pros
  • Ultra-low power consumption, power mostly only needed for updating; Built in voltage converter compatible with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers
Cons
  • Crumpled
