This is for the screen only! This item does not come with a controller PCB (but you can grab one here for the Raspberry Pi or Arduino).

Looking for an eInk / ePaper display for your Raspberry Pi or Arduino project? Look no further! These handy eInk / ePaper displays from Waveshare are available in a range of sizes, so you’re bound to find the perfect fit for your project.

This is one of the larger panels in the range with a 5.83″ 648×480 display – great for those bigger projects with lots of data to display! Just add a controller board and you’re ready to make the ultimate low-power display.

ePaper / eInk displays are designed to replicate the appearance of ink on paper. Unlike regular displays, which lose their image when power is removed, E-Ink screens are able to hold text and images indefinitely, even without power. ePaper screens are therefore ultra low power, designed to have a wide viewing angle and additionally have limited reflection under sunlight. The applications are limitless!
