The display area of this module is 2.7 inches which contains 264×176 pixels. Each pixel can display red, white and black.
An E-ink screen also known as E-paper screen has lots of advantages compared with traditional backlight displays like LCDs. It can display images or words like paper, even without any electricity, the image can last for a long time. Since it does not require a backlight, it can be clearly displayed in direct sunlight with very high contrast and ultra wide viewing angle.
The 2.7″ Triple-Color E-Ink Display for Raspberry Pi can work as a Pi hat, you just need to plug the display into your Raspberry Pi via the Raspberry Pi GPIO header. The E-Ink communicates with the Raspberry Pi with the 4-wire SPI interface.
They have reserved a Grove I2C interface for using other I2C modules with this screen. They have also added a voltage conversion module to the screen so that you can use both 3.3v and 5v modules. And with the two user buttons, you can switch between different images easily.
