WaveShare 2.13inch Touch E-Paper HAT Raspberry Pi Zero W 250122 Pixels ABS Case
A 2.13 inch capacitive touch e-paper HAT with 250122 pixels, partial refresh and a 40 pin GPIO header for Raspberry Pi Zero boards, plus an ABS protection case
- Paper-like reading with wide viewing angle
- 13 inch capacitive touch screen with 250122 pixels and 5-point touch
- Ultra-low power consumption — only refreshes draw current
- Keeps last image displayed after power is removed
- Fits Raspberry Pi Zero via standard 40-pin GPIO header
Purpose-Built Display HAT
This 2.13 inch capacitive touch e-Paper HAT mounts directly on a Raspberry Pi Zero or Zero W through the standard 40 pin GPIO header. It delivers 250122 pixels in a paper-like, wide-viewing-angle panel that requires no backlight and draws power only during refresh cycles. The bundled ABS case protects the module while keeping the GPIO accessible.
Target Users and Limits
Makers building low-power signage, badge readers or sensor dashboards that must stay readable after the Pi shuts down will benefit from the persistent image and gesture wake-up. Projects needing colour output, video-rate animation or a display larger than 2.13 inches should look at alternative panels.
Bundled Extras and Impact
The included ABS protection case adds mechanical rigidity and shields the fragile e-Paper surface during handling and mounting. An online user manual supplies ready-to-run examples for the Zero and Zero W, reducing bring-up time for partial-refresh and five-point touch features.

Questions about this item
Which Raspberry Pi board do I need to connect the 40PIN GPIO extension header on this HAT?
The HAT is designed for Raspberry Pi Zero or Zero W boards that have the standard 40-pin GPIO header.
Can I keep using my existing Raspberry Pi Zero W while the 2.13 inch e-Paper display is attached?
Yes, the HAT mounts on the 40-pin header and leaves the other ports on the Zero W accessible for normal use.
How do I verify the 250122 pixel capacitive touch panel is responding after I install the driver?
Run the example script from the online manual; a successful touch registers up to five simultaneous points and can wake the display with a user-defined gesture.
