This 2.9" capacitive touch black/white ePaper display from Waveshare is great for adding a low-power, touch-responsive display to your next Raspberry Pi project, especially the Raspberry Pi Zero.

Featuring a screen resolution of 296x128 pixels, the display is capable of recognizing up to 5-points of touch and works well with Raspberry Pi OS.

The onboard header connects directly to a Raspberry Pi and utilizes the I2C bus for Touch and SPI bus for the display. Partial refresh is supported.

ePaper / eInk displays are designed to replicate the appearance of ink on paper. Unlike regular displays, which lose their image when power is removed, eInk screens are able to hold text and images indefinitely, even without power. ePaper screens are therefore ultra-low power, designed to have a wide viewing angle, and additionally have limited reflection under sunlight. The applications are limitless!
