Description Waveshare Pico-ePaper-2.13 is a compact 2.13inch e-paper display module for Raspberry Pi Pico featuring a 250 × 122 resolution, black and white display, and a SPI interface. It is well suited for low-power dashboards, status displays, labels, and embedded Pico projects that benefit from paper-like readability and ultra-low standby power. This module uses the e-paper display principle, so it keeps the last displayed content even when power is removed. That makes it especially useful for information panels, portable Pico projects, small tags, and low-refresh applications where readability in ambient light matters more than animation speed. Features 2.13inch e-paper display with 250 × 122 resolution. Black and white display with paper-like viewing comfort. SPI interface for Raspberry Pi Pico integration. Very low power usage, with power mainly consumed during refresh. Retains the displayed image even when power is disconnected. No backlight, making it more natural under ambient light. Supports fast partial refresh and standard full refresh behavior. Comes with development resources for Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ and MicroPython. Specifications Display size 2.13inch Resolution 250 × 122 pixels Display color Black, white Greyscale 2 Operating voltage 3.3V Interface SPI Outline dimension 65.00 × 30.50mm Display size area 48.55 × 23.71mm Dot pitch 0.194 × 0.194mm Full refresh time 2s Partial refresh time 0.3s Compatible board Raspberry Pi Pico Applications This Pico e-paper module is ideal for low-power status displays, electronic labels, portable Pico instruments, small dashboards, data tags, time and weather panels, and embedded projects where the image should remain visible without continuous power draw. Product List Item Quantity Pico-ePaper-2.13 1 Other Content Pinout definition and mechanical dimensions are especially useful on this module because e-paper projects often involve compact enclosures, precise control mapping, and refresh timing work. These official diagrams help when planning bus wiring, firmware pin mapping, and product fitment. Resources Waveshare Pico-ePaper-2.13 Wiki Raspberry Pi Pico Official Documentation Raspberry Pi Pico Python SDK Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ SDK Waveshare e-Paper Common Questions FAQ Does the image remain visible after power-off?Yes. One of the key advantages of this e-paper display is that it keeps the last image even after power is removed. What interface does this module use?This module uses an SPI interface for communication with Raspberry Pi Pico. Is this display good for frequent animation?It is better suited for static or low-refresh content such as labels, readings, menus, and status panels rather than fast animation. What kinds of projects is it best for?It is ideal for low-power status displays, electronic paper tags, portable Pico dashboards, weather panels, and information displays that should remain readable without continuous power.
