{"product_id":"inky-impression-5-7","title":"Inky Impression 5.7\" (7 colour ePaper\/eInk HAT)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBold, will hold! A big, beautiful, 5.7\" (600 x 448 pixel) 7 colour electronic paper display for Raspberry Pi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis display is \u003cstrong\u003econsiderably bigger\u003c\/strong\u003e than Inky wHAT (check out the comparison photo!) with plenty of screen real estate for text or graphics. The low power consumption e-paper display is \u003cstrong\u003ecrisp and readable\u003c\/strong\u003e in bright sunlight and the image will persist when unpowered. In a first for the Inky series, we've also added \u003cstrong\u003efour tactile buttons\u003c\/strong\u003e so you can control what's on the screen without the need for extra hardware. The buttons are side-press, so they're accessible even if the display is mounted on a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the best bit is that this time you get \u003cstrong\u003eseven whole colours\u003c\/strong\u003e to play with, which means this Inky is very suitable for displaying graphics, drawings or art - we've found pixel art, panels from comics and retro video game art look particularly good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can think of tons of uses for this lovely display - its size makes it ideal for displaying detailed graphs and charts from weather stations and sensors. You could build your own e-ink reader, or set it up as a digital dashboard for your kitchen with calendar info and reminders. It would also make a nice rotating display for showing off children's art (or your own art!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that Inky Impression takes around 30 seconds to refresh the screen, so is best suited to projects that don't rely on constant screen updates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.7\" EPD display (600 x 448 pixels)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE Ink Gallery Palette™ 4000 ePaper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eACeP (Advanced Color ePaper) 7-color with black, white, red, green, blue, yellow, orange.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra wide viewing angle – \u0026gt;170°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDot pitch – 0.1915 x 0.1915mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40-pin extension header included to boost height for full-size Pis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandoffs included to securely attach to your Pi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional pins, including I2C and SPI, broken out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with all 40-pin header Raspberry Pi computers*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/pimoroni\/inky\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/pimoroni\/inky\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePython library\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes fully assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMulti-colour EPD displays, like the one on Inky Impression, use ingenious electrophoresis to pull coloured particles up and down on the display. The coloured particles reflect light, unlike most display types, meaning that they're visible under bright lights. It takes approximately 30 seconds to refresh the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything comes fully-assembled, and there's no soldering required (as long as your Raspberry Pi has a 40 pin header attached). The display is securely stuck down to the Inky Impression PCB and connected via a ribbon cable. Just pop Inky Impression on your Pi and run our installer to get everything set up!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've also broken out some handy pins including I2C and SPI, on the back of Inky Impression, letting you connect additional devices like \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/breakout-garden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eour breakouts\u003c\/a\u003e and allowing you to show their data right on the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInky Impression will work with any version of the Pi that has a 40 pin header, including Zero variants.
