Add a crisp, paper-like display to your microcontroller project with the Adafruit 2.13" Monochrome eInk Breakout. This 250×122 pixel black-and-white eInk panel delivers excellent daylight readability and retains its image even with power completely disconnected — just like printed paper.

An onboard SRAM chip handles frame buffering so even memory-constrained microcontrollers can drive the display without sacrificing precious RAM. A MicroSD socket lets you store images and text files, and the board works with both 3.3V and 5V logic for broad compatibility.

Key Features

• 2.13" Monochrome eInk Display – 250×122 pixel resolution, black on white
• Onboard SRAM – Offloads frame buffering from the microcontroller (only ~7.6 KB needed)
• MicroSD Socket – Store images, text files, and display assets
• Fast Refresh – Updates in just a couple of seconds (compared to ~15 seconds for tri-colour eInk)
• Ultra-Low Power – Display retains image with no power draw; Enable pin lets you shut down SRAM, MicroSD, and display entirely
• 3.3V and 5V Compatible – Level-shifted for safe use with any microcontroller
• CircuitPython and Arduino Support – Adafruit_GFX compatible library handles all the heavy lifting
