2.9 inch 3-Color ePaper ModulePart Number: CFAP128296D0-0290
    This display is an active matrix, electrophoretic (ePaper/E-Ink), TFT display with SPI interface. The 2.9" active area contains 296x128 (37,888) pixels and has 1-bit white/black and 1-bit red full display capabilities. Some of the benefits of this display module are that it's easily readable and has a high contrast (like paper). It also requires zero power to maintain an image on the display. Once you set the display image, you can remove power entirely and it will continue to display, which makes it a perfect option for a low power device.

*This ePaper display module DOES NOT support partial updates

The integrated circuit on this ePaper module contains a gate buffer, source buffer, timing control logic, oscillator, DC-DC, SRAM, LUT, VCOM, and border with each panel.

Features:High contrast
High reflectance
Ultra wide viewing angle
Ultra low power consumption (only needs power to update)
Pure reflective mode
Bi-stable
Commercial temperature range
Landscape, portrait mode
Antiglare hard-coated front-surface
Low current deep sleep mode
On-chip display RAM
Waveform stored in On-chip OTP
Serial peripheral interface available (SPI)
On-chip oscillator
On-chip booster and regulator control for generating VCOM, Gate and source driving voltage
I2C Signal Master Interface to read external temperature sensor
