800x600, 4.3inch e-Paper UART Module

Overview

This is a serial interface E-Ink display module, 4.3inch, 800×600 resolution, with embedded font libraries and ultra-low power consumption.

You don't need to understand the complex underlying details of e-Paper technology or the specific algorithms for rendering graphics, text, and images. All you need is the serial interface; the rest is up to your creativity.

Features

• Easy to use: displays any content via a single serial interface, including geometric graphics, text, and images
• Embedded font libraries supporting 32, 48, and 64 dot-matrix GBK Chinese fonts and English fonts
• Built-in 128MB NandFlash allows font and image data to be stored on an external TF card or in the internal NandFlash
• 4 grey levels, 800×600 resolution
• Adjustable serial interface baud rate (default 115200 at power-up)
• Powered from 3.3V to 5V, logic level compatible
• Ultra-low power consumption with sleep current lower than 5mA
• Includes host computer software for direct control

Applications

• E-books
• Shopping mall POS
• Price labels
• Industrial instruments

Pin Definitions

• VCC : 3.3V~5.5V
• GND : Ground
• DOUT : Serial data out
• DIN : Serial data in
• WAKE_UP : External wake up
• RST : External reset

Due to hardware processing limitations, refreshing a single frame image typically takes 1.5s. Therefore, this e-Paper module is NOT capable of playing animations.
