Add a large, vibrant tri-colour eInk display to your Arduino project with this shield. The 2.7" panel displays red, black, and white pixels at 264×176 resolution that remain visible even with power completely disconnected. The shield form factor plugs directly onto Arduino-compatible boards from the ATmega328 up to the ATSAMD51.

Four user buttons (A, B, C, D) on the front face share a single analogue pin (A3), giving you menu navigation and input without using extra GPIO. An onboard SRAM chip handles frame buffering, and a MicroSD socket provides storage for images and text files.

Key Features

• 2.7" Tri-Colour eInk Display – 264×176 pixel resolution with red, black, and white ink
• Arduino Shield Form Factor – Plugs directly onto Arduino-compatible boards
• 4 User Buttons – Labelled A, B, C, D; all read via a single analogue pin (A3)
• Onboard SRAM – Offloads frame buffering from the microcontroller (~11.5 KB needed)
• 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 – Works with any Arduino-compatible board
• CircuitPython and Arduino Support – Adafruit_GFX compatible library handles all the heavy lifting

Also Available

• 2.7" Tri-Colour eInk Breakout – Universal breakout board

Ideal For

• Arduino-based dashboards and status displays
• Low-power signage and information boards
• Interactive menu systems with button navigation
• Battery-powered projects requiring persistent display
