Raspberry Pi 2.13inch e-Paper E-Ink Display HAT (SPI) — 250 x 122, 2.13"

Make any Raspberry Pi project easy to read, ultra-low power, and amazingly crisp. This 2.13-inch e-Paper E-Ink Display HAT uses an SPI interface and a 250×122 resolution for clean monochrome visuals that stay visible without power — ideal for clocks, status panels, shelf labels, and battery-powered displays.

Key features

• 2.13" e-Paper (E-Ink) HAT for Raspberry Pi — compact, low-power, sunlight readable
• Resolution: 250 × 122 pixels for sharp text and simple graphics
• SPI interface — reliable, fast communication with Raspberry Pi GPIO
• Bistable display: image retained when power is off, minimal energy use
• Monochrome (black & white) for maximum contrast and long-term readability
• Easy mounting as a HAT — plugs into the Raspberry Pi 40-pin header

Why choose this e-Paper HAT?

• Ultra-low power: perfect for battery-powered or always-on displays — image persists without power.
• Excellent outdoors visibility: readable in bright sunlight where LCDs fail.
• Crisp typography and icons: ideal for clocks, weather stations, IoT dashboards, shelf labels, and e-readers.
• Simple SPI connection and ready-made libraries speed up development.

Compatibility & setup

• Compatible with Raspberry Pi models with 40-pin GPIO (Pi 4, Pi 3, Pi 2, Pi Zero W, and others)
• Uses standard SPI pins (MOSI, MISO, SCLK, CS, plus control lines) — stacks as a HAT for neat integration
• Supported by open-source Python libraries and example code for quick prototyping

Technical specifications

• Display size: 2.13 inches (diagonal)
• Resolution: 250 × 122 pixels
• Color: Monochrome (black & white)
• Interface: SPI (via Raspberry Pi 40-pin GPIO)
• Mounting: HAT form-factor for direct GPIO connection
• Power behavior: bistable — retains image without constant power

Included

• 2.13" e-Paper E-Ink Display HAT (250×122)
• 40-pin header connection (HAT-compatible)
• Sample code and drivers (downloadable) to get you started quickly

Ideal for
