7 Color E-Ink Display

[@jandobrik5831]

That is best yellow hue i have ever seen on eink display

[@doctorweile]

Nice review, but I'm also quite interested in, how well the display performs, when it comes to partial updates.

[@conor_schall]

This thing is so cool! I've recently been obsessed with e-ink displays and really want to get one of these to use with my pi zero w to make either a weather dashboard or an automatically updating photo frame. Do you have any recommendations for python education?

[@jasongreenwood3260]

How is this display at updating if it was being used as a time sensitive info board? Like, time, temp, stocks, eBay auction monitor? If it's running a direct program vs trying to display a picture would it update faster? I think that's probably the only downside to this display. Thank you for the review though!

An image is a direct program. A direct program is an image.

I came over from TikTok. Love seeing longer content from you.

[@rwardtech]

Thank you so much!

[@patakk8145]

did you have to preprocess the superheroes image (set it to idnexed color, 7 color palette), or does the library do that for you?

[@silentobserver964]

Would it be practical to create a clock using this display? Would it need to refresh the whole screen like that for every minutes update on the clock?

[@TheJLMDT]

Technically, it doesn't NEED to refresh the entire screen for something like a clock where 99% of the display will show the same thing indefinitely. All it would need to do is refresh the pixels that update for the minutes and hour hand. But I'm not familiar with this product enough to know whether the whole screen refresh is built into the device (hardware/firmware) or if it's part of the python scripts (software).

Too late to request. But can you please try this display with any nfc module? Where we can display images via nfc transfer? Mostly from phone or any android platform. 8 have a keychain doing that, but would love a photo frame with color having the same feature, but I also have no idea about programming or tech much

[@Andy_B.]

Hi, any idea what e-ink display would be fast enough to use it as a 2nd monitor / for writing text? Thanks.

[@unknow03]

If u would just display white and black, would the refresh rate be much better?

[@djazz0]

No, speed is constant

[@Emoryz]

How did you get it to display the weather?

[@KlausRosenberg-et2xv]

E-ink is so fascinating!

[@hallmt]

Could I use this as a daily calendar?

[@vicclear]

Can this be used for a Computer to display the actual desktop, to work with?

[@Ross_an_Artisan]

Cost 60 Pounds. If thats what you are looing for. But looks really cool

[@jasonbailey9139]

Is it really pi more-own-ee or is it pi more-own-eye where the two words rhyme?

[@andrewness]

What's the difference between when you do something and when you "go ahead and" do the thing?

[@lornova79]

I don't like this display. The very low update time makes it unsuitable for any real time use case, and therefore the four buttons are almost useless. You could update it nightly to have a new "image of he day" on it, but having a full Linux system powered on all day just for that task is a waste, the version with the Raspberry Pi Pico is a more sensible choice.

[@doc8125]

I could see it being cool as a programmable imagine frame, like you load an image to it then unplug it and leave it be for a while, and when you want another picture you just plug it in and change the picture. Other digital image frames require either batteries or to be plugged in, so this is a nice option

[@danielbocelli]

If they had a battery on a static image frame with this display, it would last a really long time. That would be cool. @@doc8125
