- Refresh time: The refresh time is the experimental results, the actual refresh time will have errors, and the actual effect shall prevail. There will be a flickering effect during the global refresh process, this is a normal phenomenon.
- Power consumption: The power consumption data is the experimental results. The actual power consumption will have a certain error due to the existence of the driver board and the actual use situation. The actual effect shall prevail.
Communication Method
- CSB (CS): Slave chip selection signal, low active. When CS is low level, the chip is enabled.
- SCL (SCK/SCLK): Serial clock signal.
- D/C (DC): Data/Command control signal, writes commands at a low level; writes data/parameter at a high level.
- SDA (DIN): Serial data signal.
- Timing sequence: CPHL=0, CPOL=0 (that is, SPI mode 0).
- Note: For specific information about SPI communication, you can search for information online.
Working Principle
- This product is an e-Paper device adopting the image display technology of Microencapsulated Electrophoretic Display, MED. The basic principle is that the charged nanoparticles suspended in the liquid are subjected to the electric field to produce migration. The e-Paper screen display patterns by reflecting the ambient light, so it has no background light requirement. Under ambient light, the e-Paper screen still has high visibility with a wide viewing angle of almost 180 degrees. It is the ideal choice for e-reading.
Program Principle
We define the pixels in a monochrome picture, 0 is black and 1 is white.
White：□: Bit 1
Black：■: Bit 0
- The dot in the figure is called a pixel. As we know, 1 and 0 are used to define the color, therefore we can use one bit to define the color of one pixel, and 1 byte = 8pixels
- For example, If we set the first 8 pixels to black and the last 8 pixels to white, we show it by codes, they will be 16-bit as below:
For the computer, the data is saved in MSB format:
So we can use two bytes for 16 pixels.
Precautions
- For e-Paper displays that support partial refresh, please note that you cannot refresh them with the partial refresh mode all the time. After refreshing partially several times, you need to fully refresh EPD once. Otherwise, the display effect will be abnormal, which cannot be repaired!
- Note that the screen cannot be powered on for a long time. When the screen is not refreshed, please set the screen to sleep mode or power off it. Otherwise, the screen will remain in a high voltage state for a long time, which will damage the e-Paper and cannot be repaired!
- When using the e-Paper display, it is recommended that the refresh interval is at least 180s, and refresh at least once every 24 hours. If the e-Paper is not used for a long time, you should use the program to clear the screen before storing it. (Refer to the datasheet for specific storage environment requirements.)
- After the screen enters sleep mode, the sent image data will be ignored, and it can be refreshed normally only after initializing again.
- Control the 0x3C or 0x50 (refer to the datasheet for details) register to adjust the border color. In the demo, you can adjust the Border Waveform Control register or VCOM AND DATA INTERVAL SETTING to set the border.
- If you find that the created image data is displayed incorrectly on the screen, it is recommended to check whether the image size setting is correct, change the width and height settings of the image and try again.
- The working voltage of the e-Paper display is 3.3V. If you buy the raw panel, you need to add a level convert circuit for compatibility with 5V voltage. The new version of the driver board (V2.1 and subsequent versions) has been added a level processing circuit, which can support both 3.3V and 5V. The old version only supports a 3.3V working environment. You can confirm the version before using it. (The one with the 20-pin chip on the PCB is generally the new version. And the version number is under the board name.)
- The FPC cable of the screen is fragile, Please note: Do not bend the cable along the vertical direction of the screen to avoid tearing the cable; Do not repeatedly excessive bending line to avoid line fracture; Do not bend the cable toward the front of the screen to prevent the cable from being disconnected from the panel. It is recommended to use after fixing the cable during debugging and development.
- The screen of e-Paper is relatively fragile, please try to avoid dropping, bumping and pressing hard.
- We recommend that customers use the sample program provided by us to test with the corresponding development board.
Working With Raspberry Pi
Provide BCM2835, WiringPi, file IO, RPI (Python) library demos.
Hardware connection
When connecting the Raspberry Pi, if the driver board has a 40pin header, you can directly plug it into the 40PIN header of the Raspberry Pi, and pay attention to the pins. If you choose to connect with an 8PIN cable, please refer to the pin correspondence table below.
For the 1.02inch e-paper Module, the pin header is used, and the wiring needs to be connected according to the following table:
| e-Paper | Raspberry Pi | |
| BCM2835 encoding | Board physical pin number | |
| VCC | 3.3V | 3.3V |
| GND | GND | GND |
| DIN | MOSI | 19 |
| CLK | SCLK | 23 |
| CS | CE0 | 24 |
| DC | 25 | 22 |
| RST | 17 | 11 |
| BUSY | 24 | 18 |
Take the 7.5inch HD e-Paper (B) connected to the e-paper Driver HAT as an example, just plug it directly into the Raspberry Pi:

Enable SPI Interface
- Open the Raspberry Pi terminal and enter the following command in the config interface:
sudo raspi-config Choose Interfacing Options -> SPI -> Yes Enable the SPI interface
Then reboot your Raspberry Pi:
sudo reboot
- Check /boot/config.txt, and you can see 'dtparam=spi=on' was written in.
To make sure SPI is not occupied, it is recommended to close other drivers' coverage. You can use ls /dev/spi to check whether SPI is occupied. If the terminal outputs /dev/spidev0.1 and /dev/spidev0.1, SPI is not occupied.

FAQ
Question about Software
Answer:
- Enter the command: ls /dev/spi*.
- The result may appear as shown in the figure.
- This is because the SPI interface is occupied in the /boot/config.txt file.
- Steps:
- Delete the occupation of spi0-0 in the /boot/config.txt file.
- Modify the location shown in the picture in the /e-Paper/RaspberryPi_JetsonNano/lib/waveshare_epd/epdconfig.py file and change it to 0,1.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- Our demo uses STM32f103ZET6. If the customer modifies other models in MDK, such as STM32F103RBT6, the ram space becomes smaller, and the stack size and heap size in the startup file need to be modified on the original basis.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- In this case, the customer needs to reduce the position of the partial refresh and clear the screen after 5 rounds of partial refresh (increasing the voltage of VCOM can improve the color, but it will increase the afterimage).
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- The process of re-awakening the e-Paper screen is the process of re-powering. Therefore, when the EPD wakes up, the screen must be cleared first, to avoid the afterimage phenomenon to the greatest extent.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- It may be caused by the unsuccessful SPI driver.
- 1. First check whether the wiring is correct.
- 2. Check whether the SPI is turned on and whether the parameters are configured correctly (SPI baud rate, SPI mode and other parameters).
- 1. First check whether the wiring is correct.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- The full refresh initialization function needs to be added when the e-Paper screen is switched from partial refresh to full refresh.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- It may be a demo based on the BCM2835 library that has run the C language before. At this time, you need to restart the Raspberry Pi and then run the Python demo.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- Install the imaging library using the command "sudo apt-get install python-imaging".
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- If it is a three-color screen, when transmitting B/W data, use Data Start Transmission 1, when transmitting RED data, use Data Start Transmission 2.
- When Data Start Transmission 1, the last data is sent, that is, the so-called "OLD" data, and 0x00 is directly sent in the program. When Data Start Transmission 2, the data that needs to be refreshed is sent, that is, the so-called "NEW" data.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- You can adjust the value of Vcom in the program to change the display contrast, and the screen improvement effect with partial refreshing is particularly obvious.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- The border display color can be set through the Border Waveform Control register or the VCOM AND DATA INTERVAL SETTING register.
{{{5}}}
Question about Hardware
Answer:
- Yes, now there is a level conversion chip onboard, supporting a 5V drive.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- The rated input voltage of the e-Paper screen is 2.3~3.6V. If it is a 5V system, level conversion is required. In addition, the voltage should not be lower than 2.5V, so as not to affect the display effect of the e-Paper screen.
- Device selection can use the model in the schematic diagram we provide or choose according to the data sheet.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- Yes, pay attention to the correct timing.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- Check if SPI communication is normal.
- Confirm whether the BUSY pin is normally initialized to input mode.
- It may be that there is no normal reset, try to shorten the duration of the low level during reset (because the power-off switch is added to the drive circuit, the reset low level is too long, which will cause the drive board to power off and cause the reset to fail).
- If the busy function sends the 0x71 command, you can try to comment it out.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- 1.64inch, 2.36inch, 3inch, 0.5mm pitch, 26Pin.
- 1.02inch, 0.5mm pitch, 30Pin.
- 4.37inch, 7.3inch, 0.5mm pitch, 50Pin.
- The rest (non-parallel ports) are 0.5mm pitch, 24Pin.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- Cable socket 0.5-XXpin rear-flip 2.0H (FPC connector).

Question about Screen
Answer:
- 【Working conditions】Temperature range: 0~50°C (Seven-color screen: 15~35°C); Humidity range: 35%~65%RH.
- 【Storage conditions】Temperature range: below 30°C; Humidity range: below 55%RH; Maximum storage time: 6 months.
- 【Transportation conditions】Temperature range: -25~70°C; Maximum transportation time: 10 days.
- 【After unpacking】Temperature range: 20°C±5°C; Humidity range: 50±5%RH; Maximum storage time: Assemble within 72 hours.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- Refresh mode
- Full refresh: The e-paper screen will flicker several times during the refresh process (the number of flickers depends on the refresh time), and the flicker is to remove the afterimage to achieve the best display effect.
- Partial refresh: The e-paper screen has no flickering effect during the refresh process. Users who use the partial brushing function note that after refreshing several times, a full refresh operation should be performed to remove the residual image, otherwise the residual image problem will become more and more serious, or even damage the screen (currently only some black and white e-paper screens support partial refreshing, please refer to product page description).
- Full refresh: The e-paper screen will flicker several times during the refresh process (the number of flickers depends on the refresh time), and the flicker is to remove the afterimage to achieve the best display effect.
- Refresh rate
- During use, it is recommended that customers set the refresh interval of the e-paper screen to at least 180 seconds (except for products that support the local brush function).
- During the standby process (that is, after the refresh operation), it is recommended that the customer set the e-paper screen to sleep mode, or power off (the power supply part of the e-paper screen can be disconnected with an analog switch) to reduce power consumption and prolong the life of the e-paper screen. (If some e-paper screens are powered on for a long time, the screen will be damaged beyond repair.)
- During the use of the multi-color e-paper screen, it is recommended that customers update the display screen at least once every 24 hours. (If the screen keeps the same picture for a long time, the screen will burn and it is difficult to repair.)
- During use, it is recommended that customers set the refresh interval of the e-paper screen to at least 180 seconds (except for products that support the local brush function).
- Use Environment
- The e-Paper displays are recommended for indoor use and not for outdoor use.
- If the usage scenario is outdoors, we do not guarantee the display effect. If the e-Paper screen is damaged due to outdoor use, we do not provide warranty service.
- Here are some protective measures for outdoor use, but we do not guarantee that the e-Paper screen will function normally even after taking these precautions:
- Avoid exposing the e-Paper screen to direct sunlight and ensure UV protection. Prolonged exposure to strong light can dry out the charged particles, rendering them inactive and unable to refresh, which is irreversible.
- Completely cover the white glue part of the e-Paper screen's connection ribbon with 3M tape. Complete coverage and no coverage show different effects under UV light.
- Place the e-Paper screen in relatively shaded areas, such as under trees or the shadow of eaves.
- When designing e-Paper screen products, customers should ensure that the usage environment meets the requirements of the e-Paper screen.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- Ideally, with normal use, it can be refreshed 1,000,000 times (1 million times).
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- Power on the development board for a long time, after each refresh operation, it is recommended to set the screen to sleep mode or directly power off processing, otherwise, the screen may burn out when the screen is in a high voltage state for a long time.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- Yes, but you need to re-initialize the e-Paper with software.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- Maybe the SPI rate is too high, resulting in data loss, try to reduce the SPI rate.
- Insufficient or unstable power supply leads to data loss.
- The data cable is too long, causing data loss, the extension cable should not exceed 20cm.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- The display gray scale of electrophoretic electronic paper is determined by the spatial position of the particles in the Microcapsule or Microcup. The electrophoresis phenomenon occurs between black particles and white particles under the action of voltage. This voltage sequence that promotes the electrophoretic movement of the particles is the driving waveform of the electronic paper. The driving waveform is the core part of the electronic paper display, and the optimization of the driving waveform will directly affect the display effect of the display. The driving waveform file is used to describe the parameters formed by the voltage sequence that promotes the electrophoretic movement of the particles, and it needs to be called regularly when the electronic paper is refreshed.
- For different batches of e-paper diaphragms, electrophoretic matrices require different voltage values when driving the display due to materials, manufacturing processes, etc. The waveform of the e-paper screen is reflected in the relationship between grayscale, voltage, and temperature. Generally speaking, after each batch of electrophoresis matrix is generated, there will be a corresponding waveform file in the form of a .wbf file. The film manufacturer will provide the waveform file and electrophoresis matrix to the manufacturer of the electronic paper screen, and then the manufacturer of the electronic paper screen integrates the protection board, substrate, and driver and then provides it to customers; if the waveform file does not correspond to the screen, it is likely that the display cannot be displayed or the display effect is unsatisfactory. Generally, the waveform file has OTP built into the driver IC of the ink screen when leaving the factory, and some programs we provide also called external waveform files to drive the e-paper screen.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- LUT is the abbreviation of LOOK UP TABLE, and OTP is the abbreviation of ONE TIME PROGRAM. The original intention of LUT is to load waveform files, and the waveform files are divided into OTP and REGISTER. Among them, OTP is the built-in waveform storage method, and REGISTER is the external waveform storage method.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- There are mainly two types of e-Paper screens.
- One is to refresh the background image first.
- The other is to alternately refresh old data and new data.
- One is to refresh the background image first.
{{{5}}}
Answer:
- Simultaneous refreshing in different positions needs to be operated in the program design, that is, first refreshing the data of different positions into the electronic paper IC, and finally doing the Update/TurnOnDisplay uniformly.
