Overall dimensions: 65x30x8.5mm (WxHxD, depth includes header and display).If you have a newer Inky pHAT, we strongly suggest you use the new Inky library. This new Inky Python library drops support for the original (V1) Inky pHAT, but you can still use the original Inky pHAT Python library if you have one of these original boards. We completely rewrote the Python library in October 2018 to be compatible with both Inky pHAT and the larger Inky wHAT displays. These new screens require different drivers, but the library should autodetect the right drivers for your screen. You might run into problems using third party software to drive the display if you have one of these newer boards.

We started rolling out a higher resolution SSD1608 e-paper screen on Inky pHAT from late 2020 (250x122 pixels instead of 212x104!). We've put together a one-line-installer for the Python library too, to make installation a little more straightforward: 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. It'll work with any 40-pin version of the Pi, including Pi Zero and Pi Zero W. Just pop Inky pHAT on your Pi and run our installer to get everything set up! The black/white display can be refreshed much more quickly, in just a second or two.Įverything 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.

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. Multi-colour EPD displays, like the ones on Inky pHAT, use ingenious electrophoresis to pull coloured particles up and down on the display.

Compatible with all 40-pin header Raspberry Pi models.

Our Getting Started with Inky pHAT tutorial is a great starting point for getting acquainted with the joys of e-paper! It's also ideal for graphing data from remote sensors, CPU load or temperature, or stock prices. Inky pHAT's beautiful, high contrast display is ideal for displaying simple graphics and crisply-rendered text and, because it's like paper, it's readable in bright sunlight. You could use Inky pHAT as a cute little clock, display tweets on it, the weather, news headlines, sports scores, and more. 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!
