Inkplate 6COLOR

When you first saw an e-Paper screen, if you're like us, you thought: "If only I could use a screen like this in my project." Thanks to the exceptional sharpness and contrast, the ability to display in sunlight, and truly unprecedented energy efficiency (it consumes energy only when changing the content on the screen), electronic paper is the ideal choice for many applications. Inkplate 6COLOR, continuing the tradition of the now well-known Inkplate series, offers variations of e-paper accessible to hobbyists and everyone else with plug-and-play hardware, really easy to use and compatible with Arduino and Micropython. Inkplate 6COLOR brings a unique innovation - the ability to display colors on the screen.

If we want to list only a few features, Epaper Inkplate 6COLOR has a 5.85-inch folded e-paper that displays a total of 7 different colors (Black, White, Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, and Orange). Considering the built-in dithering capability, the results you can get on the screen are really impressive. Powered by ESP32, you will have a strong microcontroller with WiFi and Bluetooth at your disposal. It’s super-low-power (18uA) so you can use it for days, weeks, or months out of a single battery charge, and there is an on-board Li-ion charger and RTC. Using our Arduino library (100% compatible with Adafruit GFX), it’s a 5-minute work to get the board running for you. The Micropython module is available as well. It’s 100% open-source for both software and hardware.
