e-paper technology.
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 eyesight does not get tired so much during use, and reading is even more enjoyable than before.
Main features of the 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 to refresh the image
- SPI interface, compatible with Arduino , Raspberry Pi , STM32 , Jetson Nano etc.
- Built-in voltage regulator compatible with 3.3V/5V boards
Suggested use
E-paper displays are characterized by very low power consumption, making them ideal for:
- Display labels and prices in supermarkets
- Presenting user data at conferences
- Representing disease descriptions and patient charts in hospitals
E-paper screens are characterized by very low energy consumption.
