Product description: E-paper Hat (F) 4.01'' 640×400px - seven color display module - Raspberry Pi overlay - Waveshare 19283
E-paperdisplay with4.01'' screen diagonal and640×400 pxresolution asRaspberryoverlay. Overlay works with3.3Vand5V, communicates through SPI interface. The e-paper displays are not tiring to the eyes. Another advantage of this technology is very low power consumption. Current consumption instandbymode is below0.01 uA. The board is equipped with40-pinGPIO compatible socket for Raspberry Pi minicomputers. There are four configuration buttons on the board. The display can be successfully connected to other minicomputers usingSPIinterface and8-pinconnector on the board. Its pinouts are described in the table below.
The display is an overlay for Rapsberry Pi. Minicomputer must be purchased separately.

Display with 640 x 400 px resolution.
What is special about E-Ink technology?
E-Inkdisplays use electrophoretic microcapsules. Charged particles suspended in a transparent liquid move whenan electric fieldis applied, making them visible, just like on a normal printed page. E-Ink displays do not require additional backlighting and the viewing angle of the displayed elements reaches approx.180°.
Application of e-paper displays
E-paper displays are commonly used in shops and warehouses as pricetagsand key product information. They can also be successfully used as room or positionmarkersin offices and offices. Thee-paperscreensdo not tirethe eyesight, thanks to which they are often used in e-book readers.
The overlay has been equipped with distances for easy assembly.
