Small rectangular e-ink display board with 40-pin header, black and white screen

MCDODO

MCDODO 2.13inch E-Ink Display HAT V4 250x122 Black/White development board

SKU CH-P5J6-42QFF

A 2.13 inch E-Ink display HAT with 250x122 black/white resolution, SPI interface, partial refresh, and 40-pin GPIO header for Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano boards

  • Product typeSingle Board Computers
  • 13 inch E-Ink screen shows crisp 250x122 black/white images
  • SPI interface connects directly to Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO header
  • Partial refresh updates only changed pixels for faster screen changes
  • Ultra low power draw needs energy only during refresh cycles
  • Onboard voltage translator works with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers

Compact E-Ink HAT for Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano

This 2.13inch development board adds a black-and-white e-paper screen to Raspberry Pi 5, 4B, 3B+, 3B, 2B, A+, Zero variants and Jetson Nano through the 40PIN GPIO header. Makers building low-power IoT nodes or dashboard prototypes can attach it directly without extra wiring. The module suits projects that need persistent text or graphics while the host is asleep.

250x122 pixel resolution

The display shows 250 by 122 pixels in two colours and communicates through a standard SPI interface. An embedded controller handles the driving waveforms, so the host only sends image data. Partial refresh lets you update small areas quickly, which is useful for counters, sensors or status icons that change often.

Plugs straight onto the 40PIN header

Onboard voltage translation makes the HAT compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers, including Arduino and STM32 boards. No soldering is required; the board seats on the GPIO pins and draws power only during refresh cycles. Online resources provide driver schematics and example code for Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, Arduino and STM32 platforms.

Questions about this item

How does the 250x122 resolution look on the 2.13 inch screen?

The 250 by 122 pixel grid gives crisp black and white text and simple graphics on the 2.13 inch diagonal, suitable for status readouts or basic icons.

What does the SPI interface limit in practice?

SPI keeps wiring to a few pins and works with 3.3V or 5V logic, but refresh speed is capped by the serial clock so full screen updates take a noticeable moment.

Will the 40 pin header fit my Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W?

Yes, the 40 pin GPIO extension header aligns with every Raspberry Pi model listed including the Zero 2 W, and the onboard voltage translator handles both 3.3V and 5V logic levels.
