7.5 Inch E-paper Display
800x480 resolution, black and white display, uses SPI communication, supports partial refresh
This product is a 7.5-inch black-and-white e-ink display expansion module with a screen resolution of 800x480. It uses SPI communication and supports both full and partial refresh modes. The driver board is designed based on the 40-pin interface of Raspberry Pi, making it suitable for Raspberry Pi series boards. We provide example programs in C and Python for Raspberry Pi. A pre-configured SPI control interface is reserved for easy integration with main control boards like Arduino, STM32, and ESP32. Additionally, we provide example code for Arduino, STM32, and ESP32, which enables functions such as displaying images, English characters, numbers, and drawing points, lines, rectangles, and circles.

Refresh Process Explanation: (Refresh Time: The entire process from the start of screen activity to the stable display of the image)
The driver board is designed based on the 40-pin interface of Raspberry Pi, making it suitable for Raspberry Pi series boards.
A pre-configured SPI control interface is reserved for easy integration with main control boards like Arduino, STM32, and ESP32.
Note: for reference only, the Raspberry Pi boards are NOT included
This driver board equipped with an E-Ink screen adapter board and a flexible flat cable (FPC) for 7.5 inch E-paper screen.
Sunlight Readability
This E-paper display can be read directly, unlike LCD screens that require brightness adjustment or backlight to read, can better protect the eyes and body health.
Product Advantages
E-paper uses "microcapsule electrophoretic display" technology for image display. Its working principle involves charged nanoparticles suspended in a liquid that migrate under the influence of an electric field, creating a display effect close to traditional printed paper through reflection under ambient light. Once refreshed, it requires no power and can maintain the displayed image for a long time. E-paper can clearly display images under various lighting conditions, including ambient and natural light, without the need for backlighting, and offers an almost 180° viewing angle. Due to its paper-like display quality, it is commonly used in e-readers, labels, and similar applications.
