This universal HAT works with both the Raspberry Pi Pico and the Raspberry Pi Pico W. It has two FPC connectors on each side for attaching E-Paper.
E-Paper:
E-Paper is a display technology that simulates the look of ink on paper. Unlike traditional displays, E-Paper reflects light, just like regular paper, and can store text and images indefinitely, even without power.
As a result, E-Paper displays and Raspberry Pi are a perfect match because they use very little power while still providing a display for your project.
The display does not require any power to keep the image and will remain 'ON' for many days without a power connection before gradually fading.
It is, of course, daylight readable and has a high contrast ratio. E-Paper Display (EPD) boasts many edges compared with LCD
