Product description: E-paper E-Ink - module with I2C display - 91 segments 1.9'' - Waveshare 22689
A 1.9" e-paper segment display consisting of 91 segments . The passive reflective screen is able to display a black and white image, the viewing angle is over 170 °. It uses the I2C interface for communication. E-paper screens are characterized by very low power consumption, basically energy is only required for refreshing The module supports partial refreshing, the time of which is 0.3 s Segment e-paper displays are perfect for displaying values from temperature and humidity sensors , air humidifiers, etc. Module works with a voltage of 3.3 V and 5 V.
Main features of segmented e-paper screen
- No backlight, it displays the last content for a long time, even when the power is disconnected
- Very low power consumption, power only required for refreshing
- I2C interface, compatible with Arduino , Raspberry Pi , STM32 , etc.
- Built-in MOS voltage regulator, 3.3 V and 5 V power supply
The manufacturer has prepared a detailed guide for Arduino, Raspberry Pi and STM32 users with connection examples and program codes.
What is the "e ink e paper" display?
The e-paper display, also known as e-paper display, uses electrophoretic microcapsule technology to present data. This means that it mimics the appearance of standard ink found on traditional paper. This type of technology is extremely user-friendly - screens do not emit blue glow, are passively reflective and provide a wide viewing angle. All these features mean that our eyes do not get tired so much during use, and reading is even more enjoyable than before.
Example of connection with Arduino Uno.Pins of the e-Ink display module
The e-paper display module uses the I2C interface to communicate with the microcontroller. Thanks to the applied voltage regulator, it can be powered with 3.3 V or 5 V.
- VCC - supply voltage
- GND - system ground
- SDA - data line of the I2C bus
- SCL - clock line of the I2C bus
- RST - reset, activated by low state
- BUSY - output pin of busy state, activated by high state
