This is an E-Ink display for Raspberry Pi, 2.13inch, 250×122 resolution, with an embedded controller, communicating via SPI interface, supports the black, and white color display.

There is no backlight so it can keep displaying the last content for a long time even when the power is down. As these displays have no backlight panels and it doesn’t need a continuous power supply to display the (static data with periodic intervals) data on the screen, it has a great advantage of ultra-low power consumption. Also, it has a wide viewing angle, great viewing effect under sunlight,  Basically, power to the display is only required for refreshing. For connecting with controller boards like Raspberry Pi/Arduino/Nucleo, etc… SPI interface can be used.
