WaveShare ESP8266 e-Paper Raw Panel Driver Board

Product detailed description

It is a universal driver board for e-Paper raw panels, thanks to WiFi connection it is possible to conveniently display images from PC/smartphone via WiFi.

The E-Paper Driver Board is based on the esp8266 chip from Expressif. It combines the functions of a WIFI access point and station + microcontroller and uses a simple programming language. The board is compatible with Arduino IDE and NodeMCU.

E-Ink (or E-Paper) is a so-called electrophoretic display, i.e. a display containing white particles in microcapsules dispersed in a thin layer of dark viscous solution. By applying a short impulse, these white particles will move, possibly tilting towards the front side of the display, which causes the given pixel to appear white. By applying an impulse of opposite polarity, the given pixel appears black. High viscosity of the solution causes micro-particles to remain in their position without change practically permanently.

Unlike conventional displays, ePaper does not glow but reflects light, just like ordinary paper. It's an ideal display for battery-powered devices because it only needs electricity to change the displayed content.
