2.13inch Touch e-Paper for Raspberry Pi Zero

The WaveShare display combines a 2.13inch capacitive touch e-Paper panel with an ABS case and a standard 40PIN GPIO header that fits Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W boards. It shows black and white content at 250×122 pixels and supports five simultaneous touch points through a toughened glass surface. An I2C touch interface and SPI communication link keep wiring simple for embedded projects.

Sustained operation with ultra-low power draw

Because the panel has no backlight it retains the last image indefinitely without power, and only consumes energy during refresh cycles. Typical refresh power is 26.4mW, with a partial refresh completing in 0.3s and a full refresh in 2s. Heat dissipation holes on the driver board plus thermal tape allow the module to run continuously in enclosed spaces without active cooling.

SPI and I2C limits at 3.3V logic

The display communicates over SPI while the touch controller uses I2C, both operating at 3.3V logic levels with the V1.1 revision also accepting 5V. The 0.194mm dot pitch and 250×122 pixel grid fix the visible area at 48.55mm × 23.71mm, so graphics and text must fit within that resolution. Greyscale is limited to two levels, ruling out photographic or anti-aliased content.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 2.13" e-Paper generate during continuous use?

The display draws only 26.4mW while refreshing and virtually no power when static; heat-dissipation holes on the driver board plus thermal tape keep temperatures low all day.

Which Raspberry Pi models can connect directly to the 40-pin GPIO header?

The board fits the standard 40-pin header on Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero W, Zero WH and Zero 2 W; no extra adapters or HATs are required.

Will the 3.3 V SPI interface work with older 5 V microcontrollers I already own?

The V1.1 driver board accepts 5 V logic, so legacy 5 V boards can drive the SPI and I2C lines without level-shifters.
