This 4.01″ ACeP (Advanced Color ePaper) module is designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi via its dedicated 40-pin GPIO connector and offers seven colours via a simple SPI interface – making it perfect for low-power Raspberry Pi projects.

With no backlight and power only being required for display refreshes, the module uses a lot less power than conventional displays.

It has a 170-degree viewing angle, 640×400 pixel resolution and can be easily mounted to your project using the 4 outer mounting holes and included standoffs.

The included PH2.0 to jumper cable makes it easy to hook up to other microcontrollers such as an Arduino or ESP8266, or use these to connect to your Raspberry Pi (instead of the dedicated connector) if you have other wires to be attached to your GPIO pins.

See the user guide and Wiki to learn how to connect and use this display with different microcontrollers

We also offer a universal 5.65″ ACeP display!
