Adafruit 2.7 Tri-Color eInk / ePaper Display with SRAM - Red Black White
Add a large, vibrant tri-colour eInk display to your microcontroller project with this 2.7" breakout board. The panel displays red, black, and white pixels at 264×176 resolution that remain visible even with power completely disconnected — just like printed paper, but with the added impact of colour.
An onboard SRAM chip handles frame buffering so even memory-constrained microcontrollers can drive the display without sacrificing precious RAM (~11.5 KB needed). 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
- 2.7" Tri-Colour eInk Display – 264×176 pixel resolution with red, black, and white ink
- Onboard SRAM – Offloads frame buffering from the microcontroller
- MicroSD Socket – Store images, text files, and display assets
- 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
Also Available
- 2.7" Tri-Colour eInk Shield – Arduino shield form factor with user buttons
Ideal For
- Colour-coded status displays and dashboards
- Low-power signage and information boards
- Battery-powered projects requiring persistent display
- Price tags and retail displays
Package Contents
- 1× Adafruit 2.7" Tri-Colour eInk Breakout (with header strip)
