3.7″ Tri-Color E-Ink Display (Red/Black/White) – 416×240 Resolution with UC8253 Controller

Description

E-Ink/E-Paper displays are low-power, daylight visible displays that retain images without power. This is a 3.7″ diagonal Tri-Color (Red, Black, White) eInk / ePaper bare display with a 416 x 240 pixel resolution, using the UC8253 chipset.

This bare display element requires connection to a board with a standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connector. Recommended compatible driver boards include:

• Feather RP2040 ThinkInk – solderless plug-and-play solution with Arduino or CircuitPython support
• eInk Feather Friend – FeatherWing add-on for any Feather board
• eInk Breakout Friend – breadboard-friendly adapter with level-shifting
• 24-pin eInk / ePaper Extension Cable plus 24-pin FPC adapter for flexible placement

The UC8253 chipset requires firmware code with support for this chipset; the Arduino library provided by Adafruit allows easy use as an Adafruit_GFX compatible display.

Please note pixels cannot be mixed colors; each pixel is either red, black or white. Dithering techniques can be used to simulate more colors.
