Description Show Reviews PimoroniPIM774 -Inky Impression 13.3, 2025 Edition – 13.3 (1600 x 1200 pixel) Beautiful, colour E Ink / ePaper displays for use with Raspberry Pi computers. Inky Impression E Ink displays aresuper crisp,low powerand look great from a variety of viewing angles. They havehigh pixel densityandbright vivid colours, perfect for showing off gorgeous dithered images (we’ve put a lot of effort into our dithering code and we hope you love it). Inky Impression also includes: The appropriate hardware to attach to your Raspberry Pi computer and fix it securely in place. If your Pi has a 40 pin header attached, you won’t need to do any soldering. Four side mounted buttons that remain accessible if you’ve got the panel mounted on a wall or whatnot. Two Qw/ST connectors, so you can easily connect up breakouts and other I2C devices. Tell me about E Ink! Multi-colour EPD displays use electrophoresis to pull coloured particles up and down on the display. The coloured particles reflect light, unlike most display types, meaning that they’revisible under bright light. They dont use a backlight like LCDs do, so theyreeasy on the eyesand dont introduce unwanted light into your environment. Electronic paper displays only consume power whilst they’re refreshing, so they’re a great choice for projects like home automation dashboards and electronic photo frames that need to be always on. They take a little while to refresh, so are best suited to projects that don’t require constant screen updates. What is the 2025 Edition? A new generation of ePaper is coming and were so excited! 2025 Edition uses a newSpectra 6 E Inkdisplay panel which brings a number of improvements over the panels that have been used previously – notably ashorter refresh time(around 12 seconds) andmore saturated colours. It also comes in an extended range of sizes, so weve been able to make a huge 13.3 (1600 x 1200 pixel) version – thats almost A4 size! Features 13.3 (1600 x 1200 pixel) ePaper display E Ink Spectra 6 technology Ultra wide viewing angles Ultra low power consumption Four side mounted buttons M2 mounting holes at the corners 40-pin extensionheader included to boost height for full-size Raspberry Pi. Standoffs included to securely attach to your Pi 2x Qw/ST (Qwiic/STEMMA QT) connectors for adding breakouts Expansion header for adding other hardware Compatible with all 40-pin header Raspberry Pi computers, including Zero variants. Python library Comes fully assembled, with no soldering required! The display is securely stuck down to the Inky Impression PCB and connected via a ribbon cable, and it comes with mounting hardware to attach your Raspberry Pi securely in place. Just pop Inky Impression on your Pi and run our installer to get everything set up! Software The Python library takes the stress out of displaying text and images on Inky Impression, and we’ve put togethersome special examples to show off Inky Impression’s capabilities. Notes The Inky Impression display is made from glass so it’s pretty fragile. Be careful not to drop it or press too hard on it, or it will crack. When fitting it to your Pi, grip at the edges of the board rather than pressing on top of the screen. Take care when using your own fixings! It is possible to damage the display if you use standoffs/bolts with longer screw threads than those supplied in the kit. The Inky Impression 13.3 board size is 297 x 210mm, so it should be possible to install it in A4 sized picture frames.
