Overview

The E2417JS0D6 is a 4.2-inch active matrix TFT electronic paper display (EPD) featuring black, white, and red pigments. It provides a 400 x 300 pixel resolution with a reflective display mode that remains readable under direct sunlight without a backlight. The panel utilizes an a-Si TFT active matrix and a standard SPI interface for low-power communication with host microcontrollers.

Why Choose This Part

This display offers ultra-low power consumption, only drawing significant current during image updates, and features a wide viewing angle of nearly 180 degrees. The inclusion of a third color (red) allows for effective status alerts and visual hierarchy in UI design without the need for an active light source.

Applications

Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL)
Ideal for retail pricing where high contrast and red highlighting are needed for promotional items.
Smart Home Control Panels
Used for battery-powered thermostat displays or security keypads that require a persistent image with minimal power draw.
Industrial Signage
Suitable for warehouse bin labeling and status indicators where wide viewing angles are critical.

Getting Started

Integration requires a 24-pin FPC connector with 0.5mm pitch and a host MCU supporting SPI communication. Developers should implement the manufacturer's COG (Chip on Glass) driving waveform and can utilize the Pervasive Displays EPD Extension Kit for rapid prototyping with platforms like Arduino or MSP430.
