A 2.13″ four-colour e-paper display HAT from Waveshare that plugs directly onto a Raspberry Pi via the standard 40-pin GPIO header. The panel renders red, yellow, black, and white ink for vivid, attention-grabbing content — perfect for price tags, shelf labels, and low-power status displays.

Unlike the raw display version, this HAT includes an onboard driver circuit with a voltage translator, making it compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers. An additional SPI breakout header lets you connect it to Arduino, STM32, or Jetson Nano boards.

Key Features

• Four-Colour Display – Red, yellow, black, and white ink for rich, multi-tone content
• 250 × 122 Resolution – Crisp detail on a compact 2.13″ panel
• Ultra-Low Power – Image persists with zero power draw; energy consumed only during refresh
• ~0.3 s Partial Refresh – Quick updates for frequently changing content
• Wide Viewing Angle – Greater than 170° for easy readability
• Onboard Voltage Translator – Compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels
• Raspberry Pi 40-Pin Header – Direct plug-in for all Raspberry Pi models with GPIO header
• SPI Interface – Breakout header for Arduino, STM32, and Jetson Nano
