Yellow/Black/White – Inky pHAT
(ePaper/eInk/EPD)
PIM367
Inky pHAT (ePaper/eInk/EPD)
A low-energy, high-falutin, electronic paper (ePaper / eInk /
EPD) display for your Pi, in three different colour schemes:
red/black/white, yellow/black/white, and black/white!
NOW IN NEW COLOUR SCHEMES!
Inky pHAT's beautiful 212x104 pixel, display is ideal for displaying simple graphics and
crisply-rendered text and, because it's like paper, it's readable in bright sunlight.
Use Inky pHAT as a cute little clock, display tweets on it, the weather, news headlines,
sports scores, and more. It's also ideal for graphing data from remote sensors, CPU
load or temperature, or stock prices.
Note that Inky pHAT uses a new display now (as of early December 2017),
and requires updated software. The new software automagically detects the display
version, so should work interchangeably with the old and new displays.
Also note that a change to the Python library to support the new colours of display
means that you'll need to put
inkyphat.set_colour("red")
just below the
import
inkyphat
at the top of your code. Replace
"red"
with
"yellow"
or
"black"
depending on
the colour of your Inky pHAT.

2.13" EPD display (212x104 pixels)
Inky pHAT pinout
Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W
Python library
Comes fully assembled
Multi-colour EPD displays, like the ones on Inky pHAT, use ingenious electrophoresis to
pull coloured particles up and down on the display. The coloured particles reflect light,
unlike most display types, meaning that they're visible under bright lights. It takes
approximately 15 seconds to refresh the display, with a typical 8mA current draw during
refreshes. The black/white display can be refreshed much more quickly, in just a second
or two.
Everything comes fully-assembled, and there's no soldering required! The display is
securely stuck down to the Inky pHAT PCB and connected via a ribbon cable. Just pop
Inky pHAT on your Pi and run our installer to get everything set up!
It'll work with any 40-pin version of the Pi, including Pi Zero and Pi Zero W.
Software
Our Python library takes the stress out of displaying text and images on Inky pHAT, and
our examples include a cute clock and weather display. We've put together a one-line-
installer for the Python library too, to make installation a little more straightforward.
Our software does not support Raspbian Wheezy.
