This PaPiRus ePaper/eInk module is designed for use with the Raspberry Pi SBC.
ePaper/eInk is a display technology that mimics the appearance of ink on normal paper. Unlike conventional displays, ePaper reflects light just like ordinary paper and is capable of holding text and images without power. Because of this, ePaper displays and single board computers or microcontrollers are a match made in heaven as together they use a very small amount of power whilst still bringing a display to your project.
The ePaper/eInk displays have the advantage that they don't need any power to keep the image on the screen. Just like a Kindle, you can read whatever is on your screen in daylight without any reflection. More information including wiring diagrams, datasheets & and links to example code are available at rePaper.
Suitable applications for this device include: eInk/ePaper nametag, display the latest weather forecast, a Pi Zero ePaper watch, display your own Twitter feed, small dynamic digital signage (such as displaying prices for products in a store), outdoor displays where you don't want the screen to be affected by sunlight reflection, any sort of data-logging applications, etc.
