The PaPiRus Zero 2.0" – ePaper / eInk Screen pHAT for Pi Zero is designed for the Raspberry Pi Zero and the new Raspberry Pi Zero W. It’s one of the first true low power displays for the Pi Zero mini computer. 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 indefinitely, even without electricity. 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.
One fantastic aspect of the ePaper display is the fact 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.
Potential Use Cases
- An 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
